Estimated IL will Cost the People Of
Florida That Much.

Governor Broward has many friends
and relatives in Duval county who would
like for him to be always successful,
but some of these, like others through
out the State, are growing more skep-
tical daily in regard to the Governor
scheme to drain the Everglades. Ihey
have been reading the Metropolis and
other papers in regard to the, drainage
and are afraid Of the cost OF the under
taking. which they perceive means more
taxation TO meet the expense.
AZ stated by John S. Beard, noml-
mated candidate for State Senator from
Fscambia county. the cost will be not
less than s., OOO, 900, and may be Sl3,-
OOO. 600 The work of drainage. once
well under way. cannot be SUSPENDED
without great financial loss, ana Mr.
Beard and other able men OF the State
think that the scheme had better De
abandoned than to risk the expense
with very grave doubt OF the SAFE Oh

well consider this expense ana u they
are willing TO be taxed TO pay H. tlen
it is wholly with them TO 90 so. but
they should remember the old sayiIi5S'
"No time TO swap horses in the middle

ace work il must be carried on, as TIE
stoppape will incur heavy loss in the
money appropriated for it Property
owners in Florida have an idea that
they are already paying sufficient taxes
for what they receive. therefor and
what can they expect if they incur an
estimated Indebtedness Of $l3, OOQ, 600?
Nearly every man Of ability who has
discussed this drainage scheme has
shown that it will require great deal
of money to operate it. Those tavoring
the drainage studiously avoid the ques-
ton of expense, something the TAX
payers are most interested IN, ana tne
very point which may hang the issue IN
