Letter by Mr.. Frank A. league to
Mr.. George MacKay as follows:
Lady Lake, Fla, Aug. 1, 1912.
Mr. Geo. MacKay, Ocala, Fla:
Dear Sir-The county commission
ers of this county have asked me sew
eral times lately why the commission
ers of Marion lad not complied with
tn hard
road from North Lake Weir to the
county line. The commissioners and
people who assisted in building the
hard road from Lady Lake 10 the Ma
rion county line feel, and justly so
that Marion county is in honor bound
TO complete this road.
You were member of the board Of
county commissioners of Marion
county at the time, and will remem
Der that the commissioners of botf
counties recognized the importance o.
completing this road, as it was a par
of the most prominent highway
through central Florida. You vii
also remember that both cOuntie:
promised TO complete this road Il
their respective county lines. Lake
county has complied With this prom
Use, building its road to the county
line two years ago.
VII you please remind the commits
sioners Of Marion that their part o
this road is still unfinished, and as
sure them that the people all alons
the line from Gainesville to Orlando
will be grateful, when this, the onl.
unfinished gap in the central high
. way, is completed.
Yours very truly,
FRANK A. LEAGUE.
