pal affairs is as broad and liberal as
the conception of some others,
their love for OcaIa as answering
as that of any citizen who favors the
Bunch Bonds These citizens are
amenable to reason, and have III
their opinions. collectively at least,
sufficient amount of gray matter to
grasp an argume ent when it is not
entirely concealed by ver-
Ibiage and personal criticism. They
may be peculiar, yet they do exist;
and SO far as their limited vision
goes, they still Ching to the opinion
that Ocala is the, best inaahId city in
Florida and her future lis assured,
of the opposition that decadence will
set in if bonds be defeated on the
27th, Notwithstanding.
But in spite of all their self pre-
sumed perspfcufty there are among
these same citizens some who fail to
understand some of the arguments
being advanced in favor of the bonds

incidents connected with the history
OF the movement Among other

is known that the contractors
brought with them their own labor
with the exception of very few

bonds must go for brick and profits

A QUERY
ocala, Fla, Oct. 2e. 1914

Oca1a, Fla, Oct. 26, 1914
To the voters on the Bond Issue:
Does Mr.. NJ J. Roess in amy OF his
questions answered relating to the
bond issues, give the mills levied by
amy of these towns that he has writ
ten to for information? He must
have overlooked that most impor-
tant fact I know of one man at
least that sold his property in St.
Petersburg on account of the en'or-
mous high rate of taxes, and moved
to Ocala, but bought himself five
acres outside the city limits and is
now erecting a house on it, contem-
plating the high rate of taxes in
Ocala on account OF the bond issue.
Yours truly,
A. Y. Strunk.

London, Oct. 26.The standard
states that $50. 900 bags OF flour and
100000 pounds of cheese, a war
gift to Fhe mother country from Can
ada, has been laying on the London
docks for the past two months, be-
cause of the difficulty in discovering
who is responsible for its handling.

SOME FACTS
TO CONSIDER
BEFORE YOU MARK YOUR BALLOT TOMOR-
ROW FOR BONDS
MAKE NOTE OF THE IMMENSE MILLAGE PAID IN OTHER
CITIES HELD UP TO OCALA AS MODELS

1t is extremely unfortunate that
fellow citizens and neighbors cannot
discuss policies of public interest
mfthout becoming acrimonious.
There are many very excellent citi-
zens of ocada, men who have shown
by their industry and business acu-
men that their views on an public
questions are deserving of some con-
sideration, which they should be all
lowed to express without being
classed as 'treactionaries, . ''oIbstruc-
aionists" and 'gdhockers," who will
vote mo- on the 27th. The fact that
among Those who are ateosing the
ordinance which have been very aptly
designated the Bunch Bond Ordi-
nance, are many of our most sub
stantfal citizens, men who have
their property Interests i'm OcaIa,
men who have on many occasions
shown their public spirit by giving
of their means and of their time for
the upbuilding of our city, should
be sufficient guaranty that they are
sincere in their opposition to
the bonds as called for by the
Bunch Bond Ordinance, and that
in this opposition they sincerely be-
aieve that it will not be for the bene-
fit of our city to burden it now with
an issue of $3S0,00O bonds.
Among them are many who are
in favor of issuing bonds for the inn
proven emit of the electric light plant,
(and these will vote for bonds ON the
2Sth) but not for the issuance of
bonds for the purpose of such i'm
provements to he followed imnedi-
ateIy by contracting with any per-
son or corporation to furnish the city
with current. Aln1ong them are many
citizens whIo readily admit THAT the
water plant is badly in need of mod
ern machinery, a fact (which was
known to them before the present
pIant was purchased from the Ocala
iW1ater Company Among them are
many citizens who have condemned
the present sewerage system, and are
in favor of the installation of the
most np-to-date and seryiceable sys.
tern.that the city can secure. Among
them are citizens who are in favol
of brfck paved streets and cemen1
sidewalks, who paid promptly any
assessments ever levied against theil
property by the city Among then
are citizens who are in favor of {
civic center and a $50 900 city hall
Yea, there are even among them cit
dzens who may favor a city ice plant
or municipal laundry, or a munici
pal wood yard, or a municipal news
paper, or municipal lawyer. Ye
strange to say, these deluded citi
zens, some of them at least, have
become so conceitssd as to believe
that their heads are not of concret,
and that their conception of ununici

entering into competition with a pri-
yate citizen, whether that comfpeti-
tfon be for the sale of electric sup
plies or the manufacture OF ice ex-
cept in those Instances of public utili-
ties, prefeTing to cling TO democratic
principles rather than to socialist
ic theories of government.
They would like to have a mag
nificent civic center of municipal
buildings, but they do not under
stand the wisdom of providing a
$50 900 bond issue therefor in times
such as we are now experiencing,
when the advocates thereof are
telling us of the absolute need of
more important improvements. They
lbeIieve that lbetter water can be Sc
CURED from a different source of
supply, and they oppose further ex-
pendi5ure of the present plant, un-
less this is to be our permanent sup
ply source. 1T is very hard for them
ito understand the enormous depre-
cation in the value of the water
plant, as it has been scarcely thirty
months since THE city council was
told bv the Ocafa Water Company
that the plant was worth $91 900,
exclusive of going and franchise
veCde. They have not tforgotten that
a afresolrtion offering the Ocala Wa
ter Company $4,000 was ad-
opted by the 1912 city council
and that the city council of 1913
purchased the water plant for $42,-
500 If the city ownership has
caused so great a depreciation in
thirty months, some of us are almost
persuaded to abandon the doctrine
i'm toto.
They do not understand why il
became necessary to raise the price
of electric current from 6 cents to
cents if the cost of manufacture oil
such current is 8 1l5 cents per X. w
n. Surely it costs no more to manu.
tfacture 6 cents current than cents
current3
They understand neither the jus.
tice nor the legality of the city s use
of electric lights and water hydrants
without the electric light and watel
plants having credit for such service
Nor do they understand thel justfct
in transferring from time ITO tim,
large sums from the fund of tht
electric light department and water
works department to the genera
fund account of the city. They re
fuse to endorse system that propos
es to run public utilGty plants tha

They admit that under such a sys
tenn of financing as this it is pos
sible to show loss against eithe
fund or such fund as the council
may desire.
They cannot grasp the argumen

FLOYD COUNTY.

Prestonsburg, KY, April 1--on
last Sunday, at Wayland, 35 miles
from Prestonsburg, Lee Jones shot
and killed deputy sheriff b. G. Nc
Gown and was Immediately shot to
death by deputy sheriff j. b. Clark.
1t is reported that Jones and his
brother, John Jones, were bootleg
ging whiskey in Wayland and that
the officers were looking for them
and they had taken refuge between
two houses, and when approached
by McCown and told that he had
warrant for Lee Jones, with an
oath Lee Jones drew his pistol and
fired, striking McCown in the
breast. McCown fell to the ground
and as he rose, Jones again shot
him In the mouth, killing him In
stantly. In the meantime Deputy
y. B. Clark had reached for his
pistol and as he did so, John Jones
shot him In the Wrlst, Ine DuiieI
going through his arm and elbow;
and as he reached for his pistol
with his left hand, John Jones shot
him through the left hand and one
finger off, but Clark succeeded In
firing four shots into the body OF
Lee Jones, from which he died
about eleven O'Clock Sunday night.
1t is reported that Clark also
wounded John Jones, but 1t is not
