WHAT ANOTHER ROAD MAY
MEAN.
(Fernandina Record.)

When the Florida Railroad has
been extended to Fernandina, there
will be a large and new territory
opened up for this port through
which the products of one of the most
productive sections of this state will
pass to reach the markets of this and
other countries.
The extension of the Florida rail-
road will mean a great deal of new
business of other kinds. 1t will
also mean the distribution of vast
sums of money here annually to
build and maintain terminals and
railroad shops.
1t is now conceded on every hand
that the Florida Railroad is TO be
extended at once. Everything now
points to the early completion of this
project. When this road has been
completed it will mark the dawning
of new day for Fernandina
Fernandina has been kept back
and has suffered materially because
of the lack of railroad transporta-
ton. The centering of the great
railroad lines of the south at other
points has placed this city, even with
her unsurpassed facilities for water
transportation, to one side, while
cities were being built because of
strong railroad competition in other
parts of the state Traffic which
naturally belongs to this city has
been diverted to other ports, almost
passing in sight of Fernandina to be
carried hundred of miles to inferior
ports.
That section of the state through
which the Florida road now runs is
rich in timber and other natural re-
sources. There are millions of feet
of lumber being sawed there every
month, little of which finds its way
to this port. With direct eOnnec-
ton with that section there is every
thing TO indicate that this port will
receive the larger share of that busi-
ness.
But the timber is not all. One of
the greatest cotton producing sec
lions of this state is to be opened to
Fernandina by this road. This will
mean the bringing of cotton here in
time, thus giving the great ships en-
tering this port an opportunity to
complete their cargOs here.
There is a great deal promised for
Fernandina for the future. 1t only
needs an enterprising and united eff
fort on the part of her citizens to
push this city to the front.

When the legislature gets through
their Spring House Cleaning at

measures come to the front. we ex-
pect not least among them will be
the good roads question. There is
doubtless not a county in Florida
that is not more or less interested in
good roads, and wants them. but in
many localities the matter of expense
has so crippled the movement that it
has been temporarily abandoned.
The Governor has treated the subject
In his message and endeavored to
give an approximate cost of build
ing good roads with the only two ma
terials he deems worth using in road
building, i. g, virtrified brick and
Dade county rock. He also goes in

bond issue for road building. There
is no doubt but what the present
legislature will give the subject much
attention and We await results

The buying of land at tax sales.
for the sake of the timber on it, the
subsequent removal of the timber and
neglect thereafter by the later own
er to pay the taxes is an abuse from
which the state of Florida has suf-
fered too long. After the timber has
been removed a second sale for taxes
is harder to effect Nor has the
state been the only sufferer, as an in
stance which might be many times
duplicated will show. A citizen of
Jacksonville some thirty years ago
bought a tract of land in an adjoin-
ing county. He lived upon and Gull
uyated 1t for number of years when
lac removed to the city, expecting
eventually to return to the farm. II

ago he learned that the land, on
which he had paid taxes promptly
every year since the deed to il was
for taxes and he was warned by a
former neighbor that the new claim
ant to the land was preparing TO cut
timber from it. He was put to great
trouble to save his timber, having to
send all his tax receipts to the cir
cult court clerk for that county and
write number of letters before he
succeeded in saving his timber from
being cut down and carried of by
a man who had no right whatever in
equity to it, All this through the
carelessnesS of a county official. There
is no more righteous bill before the
legislature than House bill No. II,

forbid this practice.-Times-Union.
