Doubtless one Of the most perplexing
questions that will arise for considers
tiOn at the Forthcoming session Of the
legislature will be the county division
sentiment, and there will be much ener-
getic work here along this line.
OF this matter q recent issue Of the
Jacksonville Times-Union says:
County division will be a warm issue.
or category Of issues, in the coming
session Of the legislature. Saturdays
Times Union contained an interview
with Capt. Hope, Of Tarpon Springs,
which shows how earnest are the work.
ers Of the Pinellas peninsula are for
accession from HillsbOro county. The
result may be the ultimate division Of
that county into three. The north end
Of Dade county desires 10 split of from
the rest Of that county DsSoto will
probably be in the ring with a three
fold county division scheme Polk coun
~ Is lively 70 present q demand for di-
vision. There was talk Of new eOun-
~ to be formed from the east part Of
Volusia some time ago, but the parti-
tionists do not seem active now. II all
these schemes succeed there will be
seven new counties in Florida. There
is likely to be a hot fight against parti-
ton in each case and an extra session Of
the legislature may be made necessary.
New counties make the reappOrtiOn-
ment issue more acute. With eight
new counties TO be provided for in the
house Of representatives within the con-
stitutiOnal limitation to q total Of only
100 members Of the legislature, there
will have to be some close figuring done.
Another result may be to make a de-
mand for a new and more liberal State
constitution than the already antigua
ted and wholly inconvenient one Of 1885
still more insistent.
