CONTRACT FOR ERECTION
Of ALL SAINTS RECT0RY
LET LAST NIGHT

The contract for the building Of
All Saints church rectory was let
last evening to Hungerford & Will
son. The plans, prepared by Archi
tect Fort, call for a six-room bunga-
low of most unique and convenient
type which is to be ready for occu-
pancy by the rector and his family
not later than Oct. l.. The money
for the building has been subscribed
not only by the members of the con-
gregation but also by number of
public-spirited citizens who, recog-
onizing that this was the first time
the Episcopal church had ever come
before the public for anything, were
glad to assist the cause.
A few nice features in connection
with the new rectory will have to
be omitted because the fund is not
quite large enough to cover the de-
tails of the plans as originally sub
mitted. This affords a splendid op-
portunity to few members of the
congregation and others, who have
not subscribed, to come forward with
the few dollars necessary to cover
the features which otherwise will
have to be left out.
subscriptions may be sent to o.
NJ. Eaton, treasurer, who, with o.
w. Drane, secretary, and A. j. Hol-
worthy, chairman, are the members
of the building committee.

ROAD COMPLETED
BETWEEN HERE
AND PLANT CITY

At last the road between Lakeland
and the Hillsborough county line
has been built and one of the worst
pieces of road in this county has
been replaced by a good hard-sur-
faced road which makes it pleasure
to drive over. While some parts of
the road across the line, west, are
not at present in fine condition, the
road between Lakeland and Tampa
is now possible as a driveway and
the run can be made in little over
one hour. This gives a hard-sur-
faced road from Fort Meade to St.
Petersburg, via Tampa, distance OF
considerably over one hundred miles,
and Polk county may be congratulate
! ed over the achievement.
To celebrate the event, Plant City
proposed some months ago (when
she possibly did not think we were
serious in our statement that this
road was absolutely going to be
built at once) to join with Lake
land in grand jubilee picnic, to
take place, as soon as convenient af-
ter the completion of this last piece
of road, at point as near as pos
sible to the line dividing the two
counties, and we have been in
, formed, on the reliable authority of
j. Fred DeBerry, that Plant City
Twill come down in great strength on
next Wednesday to join with us in
! a grand parade over the new road, to
be followed by speech making and
a barbecue, or some other wild kind
of a fest. 1t is pretty safe to say
that something interesting will be
doing on that day if j. Fred engin-
eers the great event. All citizens
who possibly can should join with
our visitors on that day in fitting
celebration of the g-looked-for
event, and especially our city Off
cials who will be impressed with the
difference between the new road,
complete as far as the county line,
and the road leading from town to
that same county line. We feel
sure that this trip alone will bring
about a feeling of enthusiastic de-
sire on their part to complete the
link to the city paving as soon as it
can possibly be done, ifn OF sooner.
