FAVOR BOND ISSUE
Citizens Meeting at Courthouse in
Interest of Good Roads

Interest of Good Roads
The citizens of Lexington express
ed themselves as favorable to a bond
issue for streets and roads at an in
teresting and largely attended meet
ing held in the Courthouse last Fri
day afternoon. The meeting was
called by the Town Council in re-
Spouse to a request by citizens OF
Lexington so expressed at recent
meeting, with special reference to
the improvement of the roads one
mile beyond the corporate limits.
DIR. George H. Denny presided
over the meeting, and Mr.. f. Southland
Shields was secretary. A number
of gentlemen took part in the infor-
NAL discussion of the road situation.
Councilman Corse OF the street
committee presented the needs of
the town. and showed from the I'm
ancial statement last published and
recent expenditures that the town
had more than used its appropria-
tions for streets and roads, and that
the committee had no money at its
disposal for permanent improve
mentS. His statement was given as
a matter of information, without re
commentator as to solution of the
problem.
Gen. F. W. Nichols favored the
issuing of bonds and made motion
to this effect. Mr.. w. G. Mcdowell
did not favor the bond issue because
OF its effect OF increasing the tax
tate. Mr.. J. Med. Adair favored
the issuing of bonds, but mentioned
the needs for more water and sew
ers, and said that these matters
should be considered in connection
with good roads. DR.. H. D. Camp
bell thought it would be well tina
the citizens should know about tn
approximate cost of pLtting tn
roads in good condition, so that the,
might vote intelligently. He di
not oppose the bond issue, but simpl
wanted to know how the expend
lures were TO be made. Prof. A. I
Staples, Mr.. Hugh a. White, Pro-
D. G. Humphreys, Mr.. W. T. Shields
Mr.. G. D. Letcher, Mr.. Harringto
Waddell, Mr.. ]. w. McClung an
others took part in the discussion.
Mr.. Letcher moved that a joir
committee from this meeting and tn
Town Council be appointed to secur
information from the other towns a
to tax-rate, road improvement, etc
and report at future meeting. Hi
HsOtion was lost.
Prof Staples made a motion, thu
it is in the sense of this meeting
that the streets of Lexington, and th
roads under its control are in ba
condition. that this meeting declare
itself in favor of the permanent in
provement Of said streets and road:
and it further declares itself in Il
vor OF bond issue by the Town
Lexington to provide the means #
defraying the cost of the permanel
improvement of said streets ar
roads, the amount of said bond issl
and the details thereof to be left
the best judgment of the Council
said town ofLexington. This mea
ure was carried by an almost unar
nous vote.

the Caloosachatchee river, fell in love
with Fort Thompson Park, and then and
there vowed that some day would own
it and my dream has been realized,
hence Our pleasure in the possession.
I have always been a great lover of
fine stock, and have some four hundred
head of Jersey and Galloway cattle,
counting among them such famous herd
bulls as "Hood Farm Pogis 63," of
Hood Farm, Lowell, Mass, considered
the most valuable herd of Jerseys in the

chard at BraWley embraces the fol-
lowing varieties: Washington navel,
Thompson improved navel, Navelencia,
Late Valencia, Tangerine, Imperial
grape fruit, Villafranca lemon and
see ding orange trees These trees
were planted more than five years ago.
The Washington navel and Thompson
improved navel have borne fair crops
each year since the first increasing in
production as the trees attained size.
The Navelencia, Tangerine, Late Va
lencia and grape fruit have all borne
remarkable crops for the age of the
trees. The trees We're planted 10X20
and surrounded by large eucalyptus
and California poplar trees on two
sides and by large grape arbor on
another side, thus affording only an
Indifferent chance for the trees to do
their best. Nevertheless, the trees
have made q most remarkable show
ing and abundantly prove the high
value of the soil and climatic condi-
tions for the profitable production of
oranges and lemons in the valley, par
ticularly in the region of Brawley.
Ranch results in other lines in the
vicinity of Brawley indicate what the
producers realize with considerably
less than the effort required in the
cultivation of farms in the frigid and
torrid east.
There are $4,000 acres of the richest
soil on earth surrounding Brawley,
enough to support a vigorous thriving
city of 10000 people. Realizing this
she has laid her plans well for the fu-
ture. Ten years from now one will
look back on present conditions and
marvel at her progress.
BraWley, more than other towns, is
possessed of the Los Angeles Idea,"
which means she is united on the one
idea of assuming and maintaining her
present ascendency. Her civic improve
ment association, her high school and
grammar school gcholars, all her mer-
chants and her chamber of commerce
and city council, all work together at
one time, in the same place and in the
same direction for the good of the
town.
Nothing succeeds like success"
Money, energy and brains are always
attracted to a community, a man or an
enterprise that succeeds. This is one
reason why capital is taking a great
er interest in Brawley than any other
town. The man from Brawley as he
pins one of her beautiful little buttons
on your coat or paSteS "Sticker' on
your valise or bundle, does not talk
of what we have DONE" but of what
I'VE are doing" and are "going to do"
This magazine could be filled with
facts and figures about Brawley. 1t is
unnecessary. All the Brawleyites ask
is that you should "see Brawley first"
The committee composed of represen-
tatives of the chamber of commerce,
the city council, the merchants, the
schools and the civic improvement as
sociation, selected a striking de-
sign as typical of Brawley's desire,
and say.
