NORTH END WANT
COUNTY DIVIDED

A movement has been launched by
the people of Dade County residing
north of the line dividing townships 4s
and 80 for the creation of new county
of the territory above mentioned.
The question Of county division has
been discussed and agitated to some
extent for the past several years, but
the issue assumed no definite form un-
til few days ago, when committee
styling themselves the County division
committee" framed and caused to
be published in the Tropical Sun, a
newspaper of West Palm Beach, a
notice of intention to apply to the legis-
lature for the creation of new county.
Guy I. Metcalf, of West Palm Beach,
stated to the Miami Metropolis that the
movement was brought about by the
many injustices done the north end of
the county in the matter of public i'm.
provements, expenditures, etc. The
people of the northern boundry of the
county, he stated pay about As per cent
of the total taxes of the county, but to
the present time the total expenditure
on improvements in that part has not
gone over five per cent. The people
feel they will never get justice and on
that account they have decided to petit
the Legislature to create for them
county of their own. e.
Mr.. Metcalf stated further that the
people of the north end of Dade county
believe they will be given county Of
their own. The step has been taken
after the careful elaboration and wait
ing for justice at the hands of the
county commissioners. They appreci-
ate the fact that they must continue
paying their portion of the bonded in
debtedness of Dade county, even If a
new county is created, until the said
debt has been paid, but had rather do
that than be treated as they have. i
Dade county contains total of 4,
aga square miles, or about one-thir-
teenth of the whole area of the state.
The line of townships 40 and SO, Mr..
Metcalf says, passes between Fort
Lauderdale and Pompano and divides
the county into two equal parts, and If
county division carries and the division
is made on this line the total square
mileage of Dade county will be reduced
to 2,2l2 miles. No mention of a name
for the new county, Mr.. Metcslf says
has been made.
