the mosquito, but as their breeding
places are so numerous and cover
such a large area that their eradica-

such a large sum of money that it will
be some time before the state will be
financially able to undertake the task,
but that there will come a time when
the mosquito must go.

BUILD THIS ROAD

Probably the most important piece
OF public road work now being con-
structed in AlaChua county is that
known as the Gainesville and Mican-
Opy road, via Rocky Point and Wa
cahOOta. When this road is cOmplet-
ed it will give a hard surface road
from Gainesville to Ocala via Evins-
ton, with the exception of a few
miles from Mcintosh 10 the latter
place, which will soon be constructed
by the Marion county authorities II
will also connect Gainesville with Or
lando vfa Leesburg, eventually lead
ing on 10 DaytOna Beach. We will
also be connected with Crystal Riv-
er by a branch hard road from Ocala
The county commissioners should
see to it that work on the hard road
to MicanOpy is pushed to completion
at the earliest date possible. The peo-
pie through whose property the road
passes will do their part. and its ear
ly completion will stimulate the con
structiOn of hard surface roads in
other sections.
BY all means continue the work on
the Gainesville-Micanopy road until
