Bond Election
To Be Held
At City Hall

tomorrow marks an important step
In the history Of Lakeland, as on
the action Of her citizens will de-
pend whether the city will 90 for
ward on her triumphant march of
progress, or be halted by those who,
in our opinion, are blinded to their
own and the city's best interests.
The proposition is on the issuance
of bonds to improve the light and
water plant; to build and equip a
city hospital; and to improve the fire
department.
Unless the bonds carry on the light
and water proposition, the plant will
virtually have to shut up shop, as
it cannot supply present needs, and
Is SO overloaded that IL is liable any
day to be put out of business. On the
other hand, If the bonds carry,
plant adequate to all needs can be
installed and the people living in the
outer portions of the city can be
given light and water and fire pro-
lection.
II the item for city hospital is de-
feated, the city will lose the valuable
property left it by Mrs. Morrell for
hospital purposes.
If the fire department item car
ries, the citizens Will save thousands
of dollars in fire insurance.
The ballot is arranged so that each
item can be voted on separately. The
citizen who has the interests Of
Lakeland at heart will vote "yes" on
all three propositions.
The polls will be located at the
fire station, city hall building, and
will be open at Z o'clock.
The Telegram has no axe to grind,
no interest to serve, except the ad-
vancement of the city it has done its
best to help build; and it therefore
urges every citizen to vote for bonds
on all three of the items stated, be-
lieving it vital to the progress and
prosperity of Lakeland that the prop
ositions carry.

LOCALS LOSE AT TAMPA
By C.. Green y

(By c. Green.)
The final curtain was rung down
on the Florida league Saturday az
ternoon when the Tampa team de-
feated the locals by a score of fom.
to one, thereby winning the PEN
nant. One thing pleasing about the
game was that there was no raw de-
cisions by the umpire. But then the
pennant had been won before the
game started, so why should he wor-
ry. The Lakelandites got one run in
the first inning when Van walked,
Erie sacrificed, Branch grounded out
to first, Spivey hit sacrifice fly to
left and Van scored. Tampa got one
in the fourthon a base on balls, two
outs at first and an infield nit. Three
more were added in the sixth when
Leon walked, Mira out at first, Her.
rera singled and stole second, Lujan
tripled, scoring Leon and Herrera,
Rodriguez singled, scoring Lujan.
The Tampans got but two more hits
than the locals but were able to
bunch them. Every inning score
was made the first man up walked.
Hall was wild at times hitting three
men and walking two, while Corcho
had the champs at his mercy. The
locals feature Of the game was the
excellent fielding of Van who
grabbed five chances without a bob
BILE and his comedy antics were a
great hit with the crowd. His catch
ing in the second game was of first
class order. The second game only
went five innings, neither side scor-
ing. Alvarez and Ballestero did the
twirling.
