With all sorts of demands all the
time on the pockets of the people OF
Pensacola, the one question that every
one should ask himself, when a new
demand is made or a regular demand
renewed, is just this: rs it worth
while?"
Let us understand what we mean by
worth while" Primarily, would the
benefits warrant the expense neces-
sary to secure those benefits? Sec
endly. but equally important, what are
the chances of the expenditure pro-
curing the results desired? If the re-
sulant benefits would warrant the ex-
pense, and if the effort promises sue
cess, then We have the two-tle only

ment worth while.
Pensacola has been asked to fur
nish $4,000 (one-half of it at once) to
the Mississippi to Atlantic Inland Wa
terway Association to help its work.
What is that work? Is it worth
while?
The work of the association is to
create that degree of public demand
which would win from congress enough
money to provide an inland water chan
mel for barges and relatively small
power freight carriers from the Missis-
sippi river along the east gulf coast
and across the peninsula OF Florida to
the Atlantic ocean,. At first glance, it
looks like a stupendous task. Is it?
Or is it, relatively, a comparatively
small job for Uncle Sam to do?
In such matters, the first step by the
government is TO have the u. S. en-
gineers make a survey and an esti-

of the work. If so, the interest

What do the engineers say about the

way? Let US take it by sections.

Seven routes are being surveyed.
Capt. Spalding, U. S. engineer, with

There appears to be no chance for
