DAYTONA WANTS A
FEDERAL BUILDING
First Definite Steps Taken in Capt.
tai on Request of Senator
Bryan.

Daytona. The city of Daytona
wants and needs a Federal building
and If the proper amount of pressure
Is brought to bear this city can get
the building it wants and needs,
The first real step toward such a
building was taken in WASHINGTON,
when Senators Fletcher and Bryan
appeared before a subcommittee of
the senate committee on buildings and
grounds, and asked for the following:
Senator BIyan-$G,0OO for sites for
Federal buildings in Daytona, DeFun.
lax Springs and Kissimmee: Senator
Fletcher, 100000 for Barlow. $4,000
for building and site for Apalachicola
and $4,000 for DeLand.
With both Florida senators asking
for these appropriations for sites and
buildings in this state, it is believed
the amounts will be included in the
public buildings appropriations recon-
mended by the senate committee. If
the appropriation is allowed this ST.
GOO for a site for a Federal building
In Daytona will be the first definite
step toward the desired and needed
government structure in this city
However, the site is not all that is
needed here and the additional nee.
essary appropriation for a building
can be secured if the people here, |
residents and visitors, will use their
influence on congressman and sena-

. Through the generosity of The New
South Farm & Home Co., acting thrc
its president, Mr.. Charles H. Sieg
the kenwood school is to be contin-
ued through the entire term as orig
lnally planned by the county school,

ton:
Palatka, Fla, Feb. IS, 1913.
j. D. Cottingham, Supt. Schools,
Putnam County, Fla.
Dear Sir
We have been informed that ow-
ing to an insufficient appropriation,
of school funds it has become neces-
sary to discontinue some of the pub
lie schools of the county one month
earlier than usual, and that one of
these schools is in the Kenwood dis.
trict, on lands sold by the New Souts
Farm q Home Company for colonial
ton purposes, and at which there has
been a large daily attendance. We
regret this, but feel, however, that it
is no fault of the Putnam County
School Board.
1t is the eranest desire of the New
South Farm & Home Company, which
was instrumental in having the pa
rents of these children come to Put
nam county to make their homes, and
also of the settlers themselves, that
this school be continued for the bal |
ance of the regular school term
Therefore, in behalf of the parents Of
these pupils this company respect
fully requests that the KenwooG |
school term be continued in force for
he required number of months and
hat the present teacher be maintain
I'd in charge.
In consideration of the granting of
his request this company hereby OBJ
igates itself to pay the regular school
alary of the teacher for the balance
