Chamber of Commerce
Notes
(By the Secretary

There is one very important mat
ter to be considered in connection
with the good roads question, which
is that for several years Polk coun-
ty has been losing considerable cap
ital and hfgh-class kind of settlers
who decline to invest or locate in a
section which is doing nothing sub
stantial in good road building The
secretary of each of the commercial
bodies in the county can attest to
this fact and correspondence in his
office and personal conversations
with good prospects is evidence that
much as this section of the State
has by way of natural attraction to
offer to investor and settler, the best
of these prospects Immediately get
cold feet when they begin to travel
over some of Polk county's high
ways.
We need the Investments; we need
the good settlers; we need the roads.
We cannot build them now without
bonds and these bonds cannot be Sc
cured except by cooperation on the
part of the taxpayers. The plea that
we shall keep out of debt and only
build as We can pay for them is like
expecting a merchant to carry only
such stock as his small capital will
permit and not to go in debt. How
much business would a merchant do
in this way and how long would he
exist?
With every county by which she
is surrounded already bonded for
good roads what is the argument
against Polk county getting into
line? And yet there are a number
of otherwise good men who will not
listen to the question of a bond is
sue for the construction of a system
of hard surfaced roads in this
county.
If, as is said, taxes are already too
high, why not build these roads and
get into the county thousands of
settlers who would be attracted by
this means and help pay what we
are now carrying by ourselves?

STEPS Being taken TO SECURE PAVED
BOULEVARD AND WHITE WAY AROUND
LAKE MORTON AND LAKE Wire

At a meeting of the City Commits
sion, held last night, the first steps
were taken looking to the improve
ment of the driveways around Lake
Morton and Lake Wire, property
owners on Palmetto street present.
ing one proposition and the Cham
Der of Commerce, through Secretary
Holworthy, another.
The proposition of the Palmetto
property owners was in the shape of
a petition asking that a permanent
road of brick or other material be
built from Massachusetts, avenue
around the lake on the east side to
Palmetto street, and on Palmetto to
Ingraham. The specifications called
for fifteen foot brick street on
Palmetto, the petitioners leaving the
width and material to be used on
the lake shore up to the discretion
of the commissioners.
Secretary Holworthy of the Cham
Der of Commerce, presented propo-
sition to pave around Lake Wire
and Lake Morton with a thirty-foot
road of asphaltic composition, and
to install White Way system around
each of the lakes. The Lakeland
Gas Co., Mr.. Holworthy stated, had
offered to place White Way system
around Lake Wire and thus one of
the White Way systems would be al
ready provided for.
The City Commission took both
propositions under advisement
Secretary Holworthy, in speaking
of the improvement of Lakelands
lakes, save the Telegram the fol-
lowing statement regarding the
pavement around Lake Morton,
which is similar to the plan looking
to the pavement of Lake Wire:
The matter of improving one or
more of the lakes within our city
limits has come up in one way or
the other for years, and. so long as
Lakeland has progressive citizens.
the subject will come up until
something is accomplished. There
are other towns in the State, 1t is
true, having similar natural attrac-
tions, which have been and are be-
ing allowed to remain undeveloped
and unimproved, but it is submitted
that these towns are not considered
progressive and up to date and it is
just as certain that Lakeland will
fail to be the progressive city she
has set out to be and up to date, as
her progressive citizens want to see
her. if she much longer postpones
the improvement of the lakes with
in her corporate limits.

blocks from the passenger depot,

hotel, is a beautiful sheet of water

81 POUND WATER
MELON GROWN BY
J. f. SWANSON

1t falls to Mr.. J. E. Swanson to
bear away the palm for producing
the largest watermelon brought to
the Telegram Office this season, hav-
ing yesterday afternoon presented
this Office with a melon weighing 81
pounds.
1t was perfect in shape, and its
flavor could not have been excelled.
Mr.. Swanson had a number of acres
in melons, and received splendid
prices. He has made a study Of
growing watermelons and the splen-
did specimen he left with the Tele-
gram was evidence that what he
don't know about growing water
melons has never been written.

while there may be some few
difficulties connected with the car
rying out of such a scheme as is de-
sired for the identifying of this
SPLENDID natural attraction, it is
submitted that these difficulties are
not at all unsurmountable, for SIM
liar problems have been met in 9TH
er cities which now have these de-
sirable and valuable improvements
and Lakeland ought absolutely to
refuse longer to be compelled to
submit to the criticisms which come
from visitors surprised and disap-
pointed at such apparent apathy,
and Indifference.
The approximate distance around
the shores of Lake Morton is one
mile or $3.50 feet. 1t is believed
that roadway not less than 80 feet
wide should be constructed and that
it should be surfaced with an as
phalt composition, instead of brick,
both on account of desirability and
practicability. Brick would cost
more than twice as much and not
be at all as desirable for a drive
way in the residential district.
The shore line should be skirt
ed with a concrete curb of sufficient
height and thickness, fianked by a
six foot cement sidewalk with gut
ter and openings to drain off the
surface water from the roadway
into the storm sewers.
