thirty-four tank cars. The section
through which the line runs is fairly
well populated, the sugar mills fur
nishing much freight on the main
line. The pineapple plantations and
the military at LeiEehua, ON the
Wahiawa branch, keep the trains busy
on that line. During 1909 the com
pany hauled 100000 tons of freight,
an increase of more than $4,000 tons
over the amount carried two years
before The increase in the passen-

1909, it carried 494,4S7 passengers, an
increase of more than $4,000 over the
number in 1907.

WARING GIVES UP SUMTER
COURT HOUSE CONTRACT.

X. ID. Waring. former resident
of Lakeland, was obliged to give up
the contract for the Sumter county
court house according to the follow
ing from the Kissimmce Gazette:
Il. ID. Waring. the Kissimmee con-
tractor. will not build the Sumter
county court house, as was an
nOunced in the Gazette previously.
The contract was awarded to Mr.
Waring. and he began assembling
the material for construction, but
because of his failure to make the
required bond he was compelled to
forfeit the contract and a certified
check of $1,000. The Sumter cOun-
ty Times has the following account:
"The court house contractor has
written from Kissimmee that being
unable to make the bond required by
the commissioners he is compelled to
abandon his contract for the erection
OF the court house and Jail. We learn
from Judge kOOncc. to whom the let
ter was written, as county attorney,
that Mr.. Waring fully understands
that in throwing up this contract he

money was required by the commits
