Pull for Fitzgerald Pull Out
A mammoth rea estate concern, composed of
all the realty men, and land owners of the town
and county and lew good financiers, organized to
build homes on the lands of this county for people
who want to move here, would quickly populate
Ben Hill county, make Fitzgerald large city and
increase the wealth of the county $751; 900 for every
citizen located.
To- Fzgerald
1t begins to look like campaign of assassination
the gratters have organized against the refOrmers.
The murder of Carmack i'll Tennessee and the sho OF
ing of Heney i'll San Francisco will forcebly illus
trate what decent people of the country up
against. Recent successes in elections by the re-
dictionaries have made these devils a bit bold and
if the courts donotgetb busy and hang some of them,
the contest is going to grow uncomfortabIy sharp
between the reOrmers and the grafters.
tun for Fitzgerald or I'LL Out
Two street sprinklers would coss tAe city a bout
five hundred dollars.
The cost of operating both for one year would
not be over five hundred dollars, estima ting that
the two would have to one third of the time,
rather liberal estimate for both.
The city has the stock already to pull these
sprnkers.
The actual money deterioration from dust to
the merchants and householders of this city is not
less than five thousand dollars year
Then the actualsavng to the people of two street
sprinklers would be in the neighborhood of four
thousand dollars for the first year and more than
that for the succeeding years.
This does not take into account the awful an
noyance to the people from dust and the large
amount of disease disseminated and the cost there
from.
Indeed, there is really no way to compute or
estimate accurately the cost of flying dust to the
people of Fitzgerald, but there can be no doubt
that the cost runs well up into the thousands.
A school boy can draw the the conclusion and
tell you that it is false economy for this city to de-
fer any longer the purchase Il couple of street
sprinklerS whose only cost of operaton'is the pay
and feed of four mules and two negroes.
As to the responsibility of purchasing and
operating these machines, there can be but little
variance of opinon-it is the duty of the city gov
eminent.
The Mayor and council should add this ex
pense to the budget for the incoming year and at
once put these sprinklers to work. The payment
for the machines being provided for, the comfort
they can give us and the saving they can accom-
plish for the people should not be delayed any Ion
ger than is necessary to get them hereand put them
to work
Won't some liberal minded councilman make
the molten at the next meetings
Tho naorle will stand behind you Sir.
