AS to the Necessity of More Care In

Editor Daytona Gazette-News:
VIII you kindly allow me space in
your paper to again call the attention
of automobile drivers to the necessity
of more care in the driving of their ma
chimes around corners and through con-
gested portions of the city?
am glad to note that most of the
drivers have needed my previous warn
ing, but there are some who are more
recent arrivals and may not have seen
it, against whom complaints have re-
Gently been made.
Now that the time is drawing near for
the big races on the beach, automobiles
are becoming more numerous on
our streets every day, and consequently
the necessity for more diligent care is
apparent.
Please take notice and govern your
selves accordingly.
Very respectfully,

For Increase Of $25,O 900 in
Appropriation.
Congressman Mouser of Opinion
There is a Strong Probability of
His Being Successful in Matter. !.

| Congressman Grant +. Mousei
sent a communication to the Unit
ed States treasury department,
Friday, asking that proceedings
leading up to the awarding Of the
contract for Marion's new federal
building be delayed until after
the next session of the national
legislature. AS was stated i'll an
interview with the congressman
several days ago, he intends to
introduce q bill in the house next
winter, asking that the appropria-
ron for Marion 5 federal building
be increased from $4,000 to $780,
600 and he wants the contract held
off until the house takes acton
on this measure.
Nearly all of the business men
and other leaaing residents Of the
city are said TO be heartily IN
favor of having the contract held
up until congress either refuses or
consents to grant the desired in
crease. The present postoffice
quarters are said to be ample at
this time, and it is figured that the
city can well afford to wait a
year or so if there is chance of
securing larger and finer build.

Of securing larger appropriation"
says Postmaster Dickerson.
Congressman Mouser says thai
while it is by no means certain
that he can induce the treasury
department to defer action on the
contract, much less to get an in
creased appropriation he thinks
there is a strong probability of his
meeting with success. Even if he
does not get an increase at this
time, he feels certain that he can
induce the department TO have
the building put up so that it may
be enlarged whenever there should
be demand fer more space.

Dissatisfied because they nave been
Irequired to wait six months or more
before securing pay for their work,
the ditchers got together last week
and decided to refuse to submit bids
or further work until some change
in the plan of payment was made by
the county commissioners. AS con-
sequence, when the time came last
Saturday morning for awarding the
contract for the Clark ditch, in
Montgomery township, not a single
bidder appeared.
This week at least a temporary
agreement was reached and this
morning the contract was let. In
stead of paying the ditchers in two
installments. half next December
and the other half in June, 1908, the
commissioners have agreed to pay
the entire contract price in Decem-
ber. This concession, however, is
not all that the dtchers demand.
They hope and expect ultimately to
have matters arranged so that pay
ment will be made as soon as the
work is completed.
The ditchers complain that in ord
er to get their money without wait
ing six months or more, they are
to discount their claims
a. the local banks, paying six per-
cent. The county deposits its money
in the banks and receives only two
per cent interest. The ditchers be-
lieve that the commissioners should
be willing to discount these claims
at the same rate that they receive
from the banks.
