7Re Interlachen Road.

Progress is being made on the hard
surface road that is soOn'tO connect
Palatka and Interlachen, though
work for the present is confined to
this end of the line. w, A. Walton,
who has the contract to build the
road from the city limits west to
within mile of Francis, has force
of men at work and is making good
progress. The road has already been
constructed east from Francis about
one mile. Those who would like to
see the material of which the road is
being constructed can do so by going
to the Atlantic Coast Line track,
from which line the road is now
shaped for a mile out. 1t is this
same material that it is proposed to
use on the streets of Palatka on
which brick pavements is not used.
The completion of this hard road
to Interlachen, now well assured,
will mark an epoch in the history of
Putnam county. 1t will be the be-
ginning of an era of progress and
prosperity to dwellers in the country.

SALOONS APPEAL
FOR DOODLE.
Palatka Liquor Men Have
$1,000, But Want More to
Influence Election.

If the temperance forces in Put
nam county are proceeding in theil
campaign on the theory that the
saloon men of Palatka are asleep anC
that they propose to let the election
on the 30th of September go by de.
fault, the sooner they get over this
delusion the better.
The liquor men of Putnam county
have been making an active cam
paign for several weeks and they
have their forces well organized in
every precinct.
They are spending both "boodle'
and booze" with a lavish hand in
order to carry the election for the
wet side.
Both these powerful weapons for
swaying votes have been scattered
all over the county, and, as was the
case two years ago, have been sue
cessful in massing the colored vote
almost solidly against the dry side.
Even negro ministers of the gospel
have been approached, and while
some have only been silenced, others,
'for consideration" have come out
openly for God and home and
whisky.'
The liquor dealers have paid work
ers in nearly every precinct, and
| these hired men will be on hand at
polls. They are being well paid for
their Influence.
The six saloon men of Palatka
have already contributed fund of
~, 1000 for this purpose and are appeal
ing for more. They will get it, too,
and all they need. They are also
distributing liquor.
You ask how we know this. We
answer by publishing the following
circular which is authentic:
"Palatka Retail Liquor
Dealers Association.
'Palatka, Fla, Aug. 22d, '07.
There are seven counties in our
state that are going to an election
within the next three months. We
are positive sure thaS we have the
best chance of them all, but in order
to succeed we must have finances, as
it will require more money at this
election than it did two years ago.
At our meeting last night the six
liquor dealers of our town subscribed
the sum of $4,000, still we think we
need little more outside aid, and if
you can furnish us with q check, no
matter how small, it will be CRATE
fully accepted. We can assure you
if successful in our campaign you
will not be forgotten. We will thank
you for your check at your earliest
convenience as the election has been
called for September 30th, 1907
"Thanking you kindly in advance,
we remain,
VERY truly yours,
"P. R. l.. d. Association,

City Property Assessment.

Every night for the past thre
weeks up to and including last Tues
day night, the common council o
Palatka has been sitting as boart
/ of equalization .The result of 1T
work is now open for the inspection
of tax payers and will be so open un
til the second September meeting o
the council on the 18th, when al
complaints that have been filed priol
to that time will be heard.
The council has made quite gem
eral raise in the assessed valuation
of both real and personal property
something that had to be done in or
der to meet obligation for city i'm
provements contemplated and now
under way. But from the length OF
time occupied in equaliZing the as
sessments, it is fair to presume that
the members have approached their
problem with caution and a due re-
gard for the best interests of all con-
cerned. 1t will not be claimed that
absolute perfection of assessment
has been attained.
During the three weeks of constant
sitting the council has also accom-
plished something in the way of new
and duly signed viz: A general
paving ordinance, an ordinance pro-
viding for the pavement with vitri-
fled brick of parts of Lemon and Wa
ter streets, the dog license ordinance,
and the general ordinance imposing
license tax on business occupations.
The first three of these ordinances
are published in the Palatka News.
The latter will apper in the Times
Herald, and perusal of it will show
quite general increase in the mat
ter of licenses.
The council was confronted with
the problem of providing more
money. The assessment books aud
the license ordinance, now before the
people, show the manner in which
that problem has been worked out.
1t may not be perfect solution, but
it is certainly one that has cost a
heap in worry and work to the men,

Heavy Storm at Crescent City.

Chas. S. Gowen of Crescent City
who was in Palatka on Wednesday
reports that severe wind, rain and
electrical storm visited that place on
Tuesday and that it ragged for some
time. 1t was thought that consider
able damage would result, but an in
ventory of damages at the conclusion
of the gale did not make good the
fears of the people. The residence
of Capt. S. NJ. LaBree was struck by
lightning, and some slight damage
resulted A hog penned in his yard
was killed. A big oak tree in front
of the Pierpent home was blown
down. These with some other slight
damages to trees is all the harm that
is so far known to have resulted
from the storm. 1t is not thought
that the orange crop is damaged any.

VIII Give Information.

Next week the News hopes to,
place before it's readers in detail the
system of financing by which the
board of county commissioners pro-
pose to build the bridge across the
St. Johns River at Palatka without
increasing taxes above what is now
being paid.
Opposition to the bridge project
comes from citizens who object to an
increase of taxes.
Bridge advocates have made the
statement that the bridge could be
built without such increase.
The bridge would be a direct bene-
fit to the city of Palatka and that
portion of the county adjacent and
lying on the east side of the river.
1t would indirectly benefit every
other part of the county.
Certain sections of the county ale
petitioning their commissioners to
oppose the bridge. The News be-
lieyes these men are too fair minded
to condemn project before becom-
ing familiar with it, and that they
will at least withhold active opposi-
tion until such time as thev can
thoroughly understand the plans for
building which the county commits
SlonerS have in mind.
