CURVED OR STRAIGHT
Proposed Extension of New
Hampshire Avenue.
BILLS SENT TO CAPITOL
Commissioners in Favor of Follow
ing Riggs Road to District Line.
Maj. Judsons Reasons.

Whether or not New Hampshire avenue
shall be extended to the District line from
Buchanan street in straight line. or
whether it shall sweep off TO the east and
follow Riggs road and the dips and rises
of the natural lay of the land. is one OF
the hard questions before the engineering
department of the District. the Commits
sioners favoring the indirect extension
along Riggs road. and residents and real
estate owners of that northern section
booming a straight extension.
The Commissioners today sent two
drafts of bills and an explanatory letter
to Senator Ga]linger. favoring the indirect
extension. ,fhe Commissioners say they
want to carry out the details Of the high
way plan of March ,, 1893. and that the
direct extension of the avenue would be
inadvisable. disastrous to certain prop
erty along the line and not in accord
ance with the highway plan.
Commissioner Judson, who wrote the
letter to the senator, is very strongly
of the opinion that New Hampshire ave
nue. should be extended in an indirect
or curving line, as to conform to the
topography OF the country.
Opposition to Commissioners.
The 0ra1tS OF the DlliS anu lHe icttei
to the senator tell a story Of opposition
to the Commissioners plan of running
the avenue out in curve instead OF
shooting it straight ahead. This is not
the first time the Commissioners have
tried to get the curved extension. On
other occasions they have argued for 1t:
but so strong has been the sentiment OF
property owners either In the direct
lneighborhood of the line Of the avenue or
| in the Maryland country toward which
straight avenue would point, that the
efforts of the Commissioners have been
useless so far.
Two acts have been passed by Con-
zress providing for the extension OF this
avenue. Condemnation proceedings were
started under one act in 1907. but failed
because there was not g. cent Of money
appropriated for the land. The second
act was passed in December, 1905. but
q technical legal error caused the fail-
ure of proceedings under that law New
the extension Of the avenue. but nothing
came Of it.

three or four families would combine
and have their household work done
in common. they could save nearly
one-half. One writer tells how q

Why cant any small town, or pros

laundry. bakery. etc., and thus re-

drudgery? We certainly can. and all
we need is a few enterprising men OF
sound business judgment to COM
mence and blaze out the way. To
our mind two things are now essen
tial; first, to get more Independent
of negro help. and second, to arrange
by every known modern convenience
to tighten the domestic drudgery of
home life. We can do this by fixing
up more conveniently around our
own kitchens, and by combining to-
gether in communities as We have
stated.
There is a little community in

SWAT THE rAKER

While the cry of Swat the Va
grant" is floating on the breezes,
this paper desires to inaugurate q
kind of alternating or responsive
chorus, with the words swat the
Faker!" BY the latter we mean the
perambulating gentry who come
down here in the winter time to
live by their wits or rather by the
lack of wit that is frequently dis
played by the Florida business man.
The time is at hand when our peO-
pie will be Lcseiged by these timer
ant grafters 10 patrOnize all kinds
of advertisin;, schemes and lodges
There will be directory" cards Of
every conceivable variety. which di-
rect nobody though they
may direct attention to the gullibil-
ity of the advertiser. who Is set
down as an easy mark for the next
ADVENTURE. There will be maps,
road signs, bill boards and innum-
cradle other schemes. and some men
will fail" for this class of worthless
advertising who never spend d
nickel lor legitimate publicity.
These takers, rcddlers. beggars, and
sometime. il we must say it. timer
ant impo,tor preachers, are regular
winter poses that detract from the
JOY Of life during Florida's winter
season. and they should be swattcd
vigorously.
In some towns merchants have
agreed to have nothing to do with
outside advertising schemes manip-
ulated by these perambulating gen.
try unless youchcd for by the Board
of Trade. There should also be
charitable organization to which all
appeals for charity should be refer
red before a canvass of the citizens
is permitted.

warning them against immature and
poisonous oranges with which dis
tributors and growers, as the telc-
grams allege, had plotted to endan-
ger the lives of the public. MAJOR
Abrams condemned the bride offer
of 500 to the inspector in each oil
400 or more cities who would de-
stroy the first carload of Florida
fruit. He showed that at no time
does an orange contain poison. and
quoted the highest authorities to
prove it, stating that it had long
been the custom with children In
Florida to eat oranges at all stages
of growth. He charged that the tel
egrams were inspired by malicious
motives, the intention being to pre-
vent the sale of all other fruit ex-
cept that forwarded by Citrus Ex-
change.
The speaker was loudly cheered
by the meeting, and frequently In
terrupted by w. l.. Palmer, OF Or
lando. who admitted he was a mem

fused to approve the call under
which the convention had met. After
several attempts to disturb the
meeting which efforts were applaud
ed by the galleries, Mr.. Palmer was
allowed the courtesy of the floor.
and abused it for an hour, using
language that was unbecoming.
Many times during the proceedings
Palmer was on his feet in opposition
to those who had come to transact
clearly defined business. In fact
no member of the meeting was so
laxative as Palmer. b. Beacham,
another citizen of Orlando, who de-
clined to sign the call, insisted on
speaking several times, along lines
similar to those of Palmer.

ported at the afternoon session. In
substance the resolutions recited

ed that a retracti0n of the libel be
made. with an apology; that the in
jury done be corrected by the En-
change SO far as possible. The at
tempts to coerce independent grow
ers were denounced; also the false
charges that other fruits are infer
iOr to those packed by the Exchange.
The marketing of immature fruit
was disapproved; the sO-called Flor
ida green fruit law was condemned
as unreasonable because it fixed no

spectors. II was declared that the

past have handled Florida fruits are.
