ST. JOHNS ROUTE FOR
CANAL, BOARD FAVORS
ADVERSE REPORT BY RIVERS
AND HARBORS ENGINE EER
BOARDING. ACTION YET TAKEN
BY CONGRESS.

The board of trade at its meeting
Friday evening discussed the intra-
coastal canal, and letter received by
G. II. Hulett was read at the meeting.
1t was concluded that Mr. lIulett was
more familiar with the matter than
any one else in Daytona. He also has
a wide acquaintance at Washington
and was asked to keep in touch with
the situation and look after the inter
ests of this locality.
The following is copy of the letter
received by Mr. llulett:
Dear Sir:
Replying to your recent inquiry as
to the status of the surveys and rec
concentrations of the engineers with
regard to the intra coastal canal on
the East Coast of Florida, beg to say
that the boards report on this subject
was submitted to the chief Of engi-
neerS under date of July |, 1911, and
was by him submitted to congress on
September 10, 1913. and the full report
is printed in house document No. 229,
63rd congress, 1st session copy Of
which YOU can no doubt secure from
your member of congress.
"The board found that the most
economical route from the st. Johns
river would be by way of the st. Johns
river to Salt Run above Lake Harncy,
thence through Lakes Ruth, Shad and
Salt, and by canal to the Indian
river The board Of engineers for
rivers and harbOrS in Washington re-
ported adversely to the project; and
the chief of engineers cOncurred with
the board in regard to that portion Of
the canal sOuthward of the st Johns
river. No action has been taken by
congress upon the report.
"The full discussion of the matter
will be found in the document above
referred to.
Very respectfully,
Nv. b. LADUE,
Major, Corps of Engineers.

now sitting around and blaming his
hard luck on the fact that the tariff has
been removed.
Cheer up, If it wasn't for the hills

If you want to discover a mans weak

Some people won't be happy in heaven
unless they can get to go south in win

When a man announces that all he

he wants to be the judge of the square
ness of the deal.
Sympathy is often misplaced. But it
is seldom lost.
About two years after marriage
Friend Wife sizes up Friend Husband

There are a whole lot of fools who

Many are called. But few get up
