RIVERS AND HARBORS BILL
CRITICISED BY BURTON

Washington, July g. (Special)--
Senator Burton's criticisms Of the
river and harbor bill, now under
consideration by the Senate, are
not directed 50 much against the
, merits of the several projects as
against the "piccemeal policy" of
! making appropriations for the va
riCDs projects, The senior senator
from Ohio who was chairman Of the
rivers and harbOrS committee of the
House for nine years, said, uring
the discussion on tne bill that it had
boon the aim of his committee to
get away from the old method of
making appropriations and that
new policy was definitely adopted in
the bill of 1907, which was one of
the largest river and harbor bills
ever enacted into law. 1--WE turned
our backs ON thcold custom Of peace
meal appropriations in that bill"
said Senator Burton, land had the
courage to adopt new ideas. If we
adopted project we pushed it to
completion and the amount of the
authorization was stated in the bill.
Senator Burton, who is regarded
as one of the best informed men in
the nation on the waterways of the
country, does not belong to that
class of individuals who denominate
the river and harbor appropriation
bill as "delusion and a steal" but
on the contrary, defends it in a
most unstinted manner, believing
with the late head of the corps of
engineers that there is less than
Onc-half Of one per cent of "pork" in
the bill now under consideration,
and which will pass the Senate in
due season.

WHAT THE BOARD
Of TRADE IS DOING

Secretary Holworthy of the Board
| of Trade makes the following report
| for the month of June. There has
been one meeting of the Governors
! May 29-and one meeting Of the
whole Board June 3. At former,
routine business was transacted, in
Guiding election of five members. At
latter letter read from Ocala Iron
| Works saying that our proposition
for location was being considered
Location of preceding plant, use or
split-log drag and home trading in
terestingly discussed City manager
stated that he was about to intro
duce split-log drag on unpaved
istreets. Proposed bond issue for
light and water plants discussed and
resolution adopted endorsing same.
Matter Of location Of overall fac
tory has been dropped but there is
a very good prospect of securing a
mattress factory at once. The
street railway promoters write they
will be here to go into the question
thoroughly within the next two
weeks. The matter of the proposed
bond issue has been taken up thor
oughly in a public manner and un-
less the people, SO well represented
in large mass meetings held for the
purpose of discussing the matter, are
insincere the bnds for the extension
of the light and water plants will
certainly carry and bonds for other
needed public improvements have
been similarly approved Election
will doubtless soon be called and it
is up to Lakeland people, in the
Lakeland spirit, to 90 to the polls
on election day and put Lakeland a
notch farther ahead in the line of
progress. There is a strong and
growing sentiment in the air for a,
bond issue for good roads, and all
interested in this matter (and who
in Polk county should not be) are
urged to attend a meeting to be held
in Barlow on Monday, july 6. This
meeting is being held in Barlow on
that date because of the regular
meeting of the commissioners, in
connection with which the other
meeting will be held,
There are a number of new prop
ositions in the air, some of which
will be pulled down and secured be-
fore the close of the summer. Lake
land is growing every day-a steady,
normal growth No boom-we want
none Every member of the
Board should imbibe and spread the
Lakeland spirit Trade at home. Get
outside prices, if you will, but, if
necessary, compel the home mer-
chant to sell YOU the goods This
means the life of the community. 1t
means your own individual welfare.
This is how other towns have grown
to be large cities, and so only can
they grow.
