ticularly in the increased size OF
the waiting room for whites.
There are still some matters that
need attention, however, and pos

One of these is rallied approach

the crowding from their rightfal

more timid women.
A second and very important one
is the improvement of the toilet ar

the completion of the new city

easy matter to get the necessary
water supply to establish a modern,

PLANS TO IMPROVE AND
BfAUTIfY CITY ISLAND,
& Z Z
Bridge to be Built to Public
Library Will Make it
More Accessible.

The fact that concrete bridge is
, to be built this summer connecting
the city island with the mainland in
order to provide more convenient
means of communication with the
public library. brings forward again
tho improvement of the island,
which is a matter that has been ag-
itated more than once, but for some
reason nothing has been accom-
plished, beyond the clearing up of
the island some two years ago.
Of course the identifying and I'M
proving of this land is susceptible
jof wide range, from making it a
mere rustic park to covering it with
all the resort attractions of a nina
ture Coney Island, as funds and
fancy dictated. but there is no doubt
that the island could at a very
moderate cost be made a very at
tractive spot, which would appeal to
many of our northern visitors as a
lounging and strolling place and a
vantage point from which to obtain
a panoramic view of Beach street.
1t seems that the island might at
least be kept clean of underbrush
and trash and laid out in walks and
rustic resting places. with a neat
band stand where concerts could be
given
| The island is prominently before
our eyes at all times and while we
may grow accustomed to it's barren
and desolate appearance how much
better would it be to have it trans
formed into an attractive spot
which would at once appeal not only
to residents but to every visitor to
the city

deeply interested in this matter for
some time past and there are others
who would be glad to furth. I

the citizens would show sufficient
interest in the move to give them
proper and sufficient support.

The Ormond Representative Gives
His Version of the DaytOna
Bridge Trouble.

The following letter from Macon
Thornton, one of Volusia's Repre-
sentatives, was delayed in transit
and did not arrive until last week 8
paper was printed. We therefore
give it room this week.
Tallahassee, Fla, May 5, 1909.
Editor Gazette News
suppose you have seen the re-
port of the Alexander Thornton
affair in the Iimes-Union. I am
going to concede that the reporter
gave what he thought was a fair
report, while know quite the con-
trary. If the bridge proposition
had anything to do with leading up
to this unfortunate affair, l am not
aware of it.
The Alexander bridge bill, which
l have had very little to say about
one way or the other, except that if
Mr.. Alexander could give Daytona a
free bridge l would indeed be very
glad. l certainly would not have
been SO foolish as to commit myself
to this absurd proposition, from a
standpoint ofappropriating $4,000
from the State Treasury for such a
purpose, especially at this time. in
the face Of the depleted condition of
our Treasury and high rate of taxes
and in the face of a deficit of $780,
600 in appropriations As matter
of fact his bill along this line has
never been up for consideration be-
fore the House or given any serious
thought by any one so far as l know.
No doubt Mr.. Alexander would be
glad to throw the responsibility Of
it's defeat on me. This is very ap.
parent and would be an exceedingly
damaging political trick if the
people of Volusia County were moi
thinking people.
But there is one thingI did OBJ
lect to. This bill came up from the
Committee on Appropriations will
an unfavorable report. At the re
quest of Mr.. Alexander the bill wa.
recommitted. 1t came to me tina
he was using this line of argumen
with the members of the Commit
tee: Il simply want this bill to pas
the House to give me boost IL

/ made arrangements to have it kille'

Now if anyone is of the opinion tina
| am going to violate my oath c
Office to boost him or anyone else i
