The entertainment last Friday even

DRAINAGE CANAL
TO Be IMPROVED

While the drainage canal at Fort
Pierce has not accomplished all that
was predicted for it, il has shown by
the good it has done that much can be
accomplished by further work in this
direction either by deepening and
widening the present canal, or by pro.
viding others.
OF the two methods above mentioned
the first is believed to be the most
practical and will undoubtedly be the
one decided upon by the canal company
should they make Further expenditures
in canal work.
The wisdom of these drainage schemes
is amply shown now, Last winter the
rainfall was scant compared with this
year and the skeptical ones, always
ready to take pcssimestic view Of
everything, could only say, wait until
the heavy rains come; then you'll see
how much your old ditch will do toward
carrying off the torrents. y
Well, the rains have come. and the
wisdom of the course has been shown.
True, the canal has not carried of all
that was predicted; ground that was
"wet" last year is several inches under
water at present but how much water
would be on the same ground today if
the ditch and its laterals had not
been dug
1t is an undeniable fact that the
country directly adjacent to the canal
could be thoroughly drained 10y deepen
ing the ditch, and that suitable
laterals would relieve the section
adjacent.
It's up to the people directly affected
by these works to get the full advantage
of them, and undoubtedly they will do so.
H.H. Floyd, the St Augustine represent
alive of the canal company, was IN
town last week in reference to the mat

course the company has decided upon,
