THE MEETING AT LEEsBuRG

Mayor Mote and the people of Lees
burg have every reason to be proud OF
the success of the meeting which
was held in that city Tuesday. Every
section of Lake county was represent
ed, and Ocala sent down a delegation
numbering more than twenty-five.
The object of the meeting was to
create sufficient enthusiasm in the
Oklawaha river project so as to cas-
| lily and successfully meet all the con-
ditions imposed by the government
providing the bill passes the senate,
and is approved by the president and
the same becomes law. 1t is believ-
ed that this will be done as the bill
passed the house of representatives
by such a flattering majority.
After the bill passes the senate and
is approved by the president certain
strings are still attached to the appro-
priation before the same becomes
available and the work is authorized
by the war department.
These conditions were made very
plain by Major Ladue of the board of
engineers. He said that these condi-
tons were not unusual and were not
so burdensome that they could not be
met and the great work be accom-
plished.
One of the conditions is, thar in
making certain cut-offs, or in chang
ing the channels of the river the gov
eminent is to suffer no damage in
the shape of claims from any parties
whatsoever.
Another condition is, that in making
locks or dams, if lands are damaged
by the overflow of waters, the govern
ment is not to pay damages therefor.
Another condition is that the NUM-
cipalities must provide ample docking
facilities. 80.
Still another condition is, that when
the improvement is completed, line
of boats for the hauling of traffic in
competition with the railroads must
be maintained.
Major Ladue made 1t plain that
there was very little probability of
|any lands being injured by overflow

or from digging new channels, but as
to the docking facilities and the main
tenance of the boat line the people
knew their ability to meet said con-
ditions better than he did.
Major Ladue's speech was very
clear and lucid, and was very greatly
enjoyed.
Representatives from the various
towns bordering on the lakes and riv-
err that will be more of less benefited
by the contemplated improvements
were heard from in short ten-minute
speeches, and all were enthusiastic
and were perfectly satisfied that all
the conditions imposed by the govern
ment could be and would be fully met.
Secretary Rooney responded in be-
half of Ocala and said that we had
already taken time by the forelock
and had secured docking facilities at
Silver Springs, and that Mr. Ed Car
michael had already established a
line OF boats which would be increas-
ed in number even before the contem-
plated improvements were completed.
Major Ladue said that it was the in
tention of the government, in case the
appropriation bill became a law, to
complete the work within a period of
four years.
