A FINE NEW YEARS PRESENT

That is a fine New Years present
khis section is about to receive from
she hands of the congress of the
United States, as outlined in our to-
days press dispatches.
1t will be seen that the war depart
ment has recommended the widening
and deepening of the Oklawaha river
from it's mouth at Welaka, on the st.
Johns river to it's source at the mouth
of Lake Dora, in an adjoining county.
1t is proposed to make the channel
six feet deep, and its width is to be
enlarged to sixty feet.
The entire cost is estimated at
$4,000, with $4,000 for its annual
maintenance. The immediate appro-
priation is for $4,000.
The Oklawaha is the most pictur-
esque stream in North America, and
Silver Spring is as far-famed and
much more beautiful than the Blue
Grotto. That is at least one of the
encomiums bestowed upon it by the
late Harriet Beecher Stowe.
When crafts drawing six feet of wa
ter are able to navigate these two IA
NOUS streams, motor boats will be as
numerous upon them as gondolas are
on the canals of Venice, and it will
mean a new departure" for winter
tourists. The tide OF travel will be
turned in this direction.
1t will mean new epoch for this
section of Florida
In the matter Of trade and traffic
it will open the door Of opportunity
wider than it has ever been before.
The Oklawaha river and Silver
Spring win become genuine assets t.
our business life, and will give US an
opportunity to become an important
manufacturing center.
Never has Ocala, nor this inland
empire Of which it IS the center. en-
tered upon a year frausht with "a
much good.
1t really looks as If q cornucopia Of
blessings were TO be sbowered upon
us
We hope that it will bring about all
the beautiful and material blessings
that are so sanguinely anticipated to
flow from it. If so we shall indeed be
signally blessed.

RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE CITY
COUNCIL
Ocala. Fla, Jan. Is, 1914.
ty Council of Ocala


To the City Council OF Ocala:
Gentlemen-I advocate and repect-
fully recommend consideration by
your honorable body of the following
propositions:
I. That the electric light plant
and water works plant be consolidate
ed, and that each Of said plants be so
enlarged and improved as 20 ade-
quateIy meet the needs and necessi-
ties of the city and citizens. The
present pressure of water is INSULT
cient for fire protection. Electric
light plant should be improved so as
to amply provide for the increasing
demands for service.
>. The purchase or erection Of an
ice plant and the furnishing OF ice
and gas to all persons at the same fair
and equal price; that an election be
called to determine whether bonds
shall be issued for such purposes.
,. The boring Of sevarai wells hy
the city for the purpose OF ascertain
ing whether better water can be Sc
cured
4. The putting down By tie city Of
a sewerage we'll in each block Of the
city, and taxing property owners a
proper proportion for the privilege of
connecting Herewith
J. The designation Of certain
streets for the use of log wagons.
6. The purchase OF the block east
Of Atlantic Coast Line railroad pas
senger depot, and the building there
on OF city hall and fire station com
bined
:. That OsceoIa street be paved
Immediately with vitrifed brick.
3. The paving OF all streets with
vitrifed brick, and that an election be
called to determine whether bonds
shall be issued for such purpose. The
interest on such bonds would amount
to NJ more than the present cost Of
repairing streets; while the brick
streets would be permanent and more
durable, the cost of repairing same be
ing little.
Respectfully submitted,
J. D. ROBERTSON,
Mayor.
