this part of the sunny south.
The "Kato" mans representation
of Lakeland homes being mostly
shells and the initiation of their
values certainly was the limit.
It is true that houses do not have
to be backplastered, papered ana
double sided as in the north, how
ever, Lakeland has homes costing
thirty thousand and not few five
to ten thousand.
There are not many vacant lots
close in and improved property does
not go begging at bargain prices;
however, out few blocks a good lot
in a desirable location can be had
for $500 to $1,000, and lumber costs
less than half what it does in the
north. Lots and lands are increas-
ing in value rapidly and in many
cases will soon be worth twice the
present price and here are some logi-
cal reasons. Lakeland in many
ways is more favorably situated than
most other Florida towns. 1t is one
of the highest, healthiest sections
and has both citrus fruit and truck
land. Large phosphate mines, owned
by local men and only three miles
from the city, viii, bring millions
into Lakeland trade channels
1t is railroad center of impc.'
lance and IS the cleanest, most up-to-
date, fastest-growing town in the
State. It's population was 300 in
1910 and since then it has doubled.
Curing 1913 there were 314 rest
dences and a number of business
blocks built. The total cost OF the
improvements for the year was one
million, seven hundred aud ninetJ-
four thousand dollars, and this does
not include the expenditure for side
walks and the installation of White |
way of fifty-fve latest type stand
ards, which were put in by property |
owners. 1t has a commission form |
of government and is among the first |
to employ an expert city manager, |
and city affairs are handled in a
business-like manner.
The town has beautiful parks and
drives and it's clear water lakes, in |
and adjoining the city, are the fish
erman's delight.
1t has live Board of Trade, who
send free, to anyone interested, a
book of art and reliable information
about this locality. The way people
from every other part of the country
keep coming in and building perma-
nent homes, there will soon be pop
ulation of 10000.
Winter tourists are attracted here
in increased numbers every year,
both those who wish to live well for
the least money and those who want
the very best hotel accommodations.
No one will ever regret spending at
least a few weeks here picking the
golden fruit from rae trees, and to
breathe this air laden with frag-
rance from the bloom is delightful
