g SUGGESTION TO MEssRS. CAR
NEY. LlCHT AND SPENCER

As I am familiar With the law gov
ernins elections in this state. and
have had considerable experience in
the management OF the registration
books. it may not be out Of place to
offer a suggestion, or rather say what
changes / would make were a mem
Der OF the legislature and could get
a majority OF that body TO my way
OF thinking.
First, I would have a new regis-ra-
ton in 1914 and every year thereafter
in which a general election is held.
This system would rid the registra-
ton books Of this county, and. I pre-
sumo OF others also. Of hundreds OF
names names Of persons who pay 10
poll tax. nor vote. \ registration ev-
err Two years would 10 away with
striking names from the books, and
Jhen restoring those enormously
stricken. Is well as the two special
meetings Of The board Of county com
miAstoner4 and the expenses incident
/ thereto would change the tjme OF
Registration from the first Monday in
August TO the first Monday in Fabru-
airy. and close on the fifteenth day Of
April
The primary system is here ana is
here to stay and practically every
BODY is REGISTERED III order 10 vote
IN the primary. ard yet the expense Of
Iregisrration in the latter part OF the
year is just the same.
In 1912 it cost this county 500 to
register about 100 names, or 81 per
.ame.
For the convenience Of the people
would make it the duty Of the SUI
peryisor OF registration to visit and
pend one day in each election dis
rice for registration. and when this
mas been done have him keep the
books open for registration at the
county site the remaining time. and
lhen open the books for registration
fifteen days prior to the general cleo
ton at the county site, giving ten
days for those Who were not eligible
10 register at the time OF regular reg
istraton. As compensation for this
work l would pay the supervisor a
salary of $50 per year. ana ) cents
per name for each name placed or

| would have every person. at the
time he registers, or before the book:
l close. TO present to the supervisor hi:

t liable. so state such fact, and make
it the duty of the supervisor to so des

books. This system would lessen til.

pleasantness, and make unnecessar,

"With.n The past decade the public
mas become more or less alive 10 the
necessity Of and the advantages d4-
rived from good roads. This good
read sentiment has become quite gen
eral in Florida \ large number OF
tie counties Of the state are now
either by direct taxation or BIZ funds
raised from bonds engaged extensive
IL in road construction and improve
ment. With the expenditure of The
large sums OF money which are now
being applied and VIII in the future
be used in even large amounts for
read building, il VIII be both wise and
economical to have the roads of the
counties laid out with system: 70
have them made OF proper materials
and scientifically constructed There
is no avenue for greater waste OF
public funds than in road building.
when the work is carried on in a slip
shod fashion, without proper skill. a
comprehensive system and suitable
material
Il believe that the county should
be a unit for road building; but while
the first object should be to serve the /
people of the county which defrays
the expense, each county should be
neighborly and cooperate with the
adjoining counties in making proper
md suitable connections for high
ways.
TO advance the good road move
nent, to bring about greater efficien
" in road construction in the various
.ounties of the state. to ascertain the
most advisable methods, the best ma
erials to be used, and in a general
way to have the road building of the
,ounties placed upon the most eco
lomical and business-like basis, I be
ieye it advisable to have created q
tate road commission. to be c0mpOs

The commission should be granted
ample authority to conduct all inqair-
