PARKS AND SWIMMING POOLS

One of the arguments in favor of
moving the waterworks to the Taylor
pond lot is that it will enable the city
to have swimming pools and a park.
AS the readers of the Star know, il
has contended vigorously in the past
for swimming pools for Ocala boys.
1t considers them as a necessity and
something the city should have as
soon as possible.
There is, however, plenty of room
on the present water works lot for
swimming pool. There is in fact, al
ready a swimming pool there, and
when the new waterworks are Install
ed, it can be returned to its original
purpose, or another pool can be built
at a comparatively small cost. There
will be a public swimming pool more
quickly and more cheaply on the
present site than elsewhere.
AS for a park, it would be nice for
Ocala to have a park. But Ocala needs
a park considerably less than she
needs almost any other public i'm
provement. There is very little de-
mand for a park. Not one tenth of
our people even think of a park. As
compared with many cities, Ocala is
more than half park. The streets are
wide and shaded and most of the
houses have yards. Parks are needed
principally in cities where children
have no room to play, and grown
folks no resting place to go out of
doors. Ocala is nothing like that,
and will not be for long time.
But if we had to have a park, it
would be impossible for US to pick a
worse place for park than the Tay-
lor pond lot. If our people will take
the trouble to go and look at it, most
of them, we think, will agree with the
Star. The ground is filthy and the
surroundings are ugly. 1t would take
thousands of dollars to make a park
of it, and there are a dozen places in
town where the same money could be
expended to a much greater advan-
tage.
If the city absolutely needs park,
let one be made of the civic center.
1t is being used for nothing else; a
few hundred dollars would make a
park of it, and its being a park would
not prevent it being used as a muni-
cipal center when the city has money
to erect the buildings. But, as a mat
ter of fact, a park is the thing Ocala
needs the least either for the people
here or the people we want to induce
to come here.

manufacturing enterprises, and some
people charged him with originating
a graft scheme. Now it is proposed
that as an incentive to solid prosper
ity that we blow in $4,000 or more
turning swamp into a public park.
A couple Of thousand dollars might
induce a manufacturing enterprise,
with twenty or more families TO locate
here. A park would not induce any
body to come here and few of our
own people would use it. We wonder
why this city is plagued with schemes
to put the cart before the horse?

debris and rubble where the camp had

SITES FOR WATERWORKS

The people of Ocala, particularly the
heads of families, should go and take
look at the Taylor pond lot, where
majority of our city council seems
willing to make the great mistake of
locating our waterworks.
The east side of the lot is high and
dry. The remainder is swamp. From
the south there runs into and soaks
all thru it a small stream that for the
last thirty years has practically been
sewer for large part of the town.
On the southern and western side are
negro cabins tenanted by people who
are never fastidious, and many of
whom would be unclean if the health
officers did not keep a close watch on
them. Some two or three acres of
the lot have been for the last few
years deposit for the entire garbage
of the city. Into the west side of the
lot, the pipe that carries the filthy
water at the foot of Magnolia street
discharges it's contents.
The ground is obscene on the sur
face and fairly reeking with filth for
no one knows how many feet in depth.
If your waterworks are located on
this lot, the wells will have to be sunk
thru this soil. 1t is inevitable that
more or less of the filth will get into
the pipes while the wells are being
dug. 1t is possible, of course, to find
pure water far down under the sur
face. But anytime in the next hun
dred years a crack may develop in the
limestone, and send some deposit of
filth into the water supply. And in a
minute of time enough disease may go
into the water pipes to sicken a thou
sand people.
AS Mr.. Zewadski most truthfully
and appropriately said at the Monday
night meeting, the reputation of the
lot is enough to condemn the propo-
sition.
Several engineers, expert and dis
interested men, have advised against
locating the waterworks on this lot.
Among the reasons they give against
it is that if it became known that
Ocala was obtaining its water supply
from such a source, it would do the
town great harm.
And it would. 1t would do it as
much harm as yellow fever epidemic
and be harder to live down.
Some people say, Cali this should
have been said before the council
spent $4,000 on the lot"
In the first place, the council only
paid $4,000 for the lot. The council
virtually had to buy the lot. And it
when it made the purchase. The city
was absolutely compelled to have a
place to put its garbage. 1t has more
than saved the money on that alone.
The lot is useful in other ways. 1t is
a good place for the city stables. AS
Mr.. Meffert says, there is a big sup
ply of lime and flint rock on it, that
will be worth thousands of dollars to
the city in the future. The city is
bound to have a crematory sometime,
which can be located on it. If the
city buys the gasplant, or puts up
one of its own, it can be located there.
As population increases, the lot can
be drained and filled in and factories
located there. If the Silver Springs
canal ever comes to Ocala, the lower
part of the lot will be the only acces-
sible place for it's mooring pool and
docks.
As a matter of fact, the city could
not afford to take $4,000 for the lot
today. Twenty years from now it will
be worth 100000. But not for water
works.

Blitchton precinct was one of the
fighting grounds of the Bloxhamites
Tuesday, and the splendid majority
piled up against the division is due
largely to the incessant work of Mr..
B. R. Bitch, member of the county
school board, and Mr.. John w. Coul-
ter, one of the live wires of that sec
ton. Andrew Canaday and Jake
Roberts, two loyal colored citizens of
the Blitchton precinct, also did good
work all during the campaign to save
themselves from being taken into a

When our friend Straub of the St.
Petersburg Times reads the returns
of Tuesdays election up this way,
and sees that the Marion precincts
voted solidly and Overwhelmingly to
stay in their old home county, and
when he reflects that the Star has
circulated extensively in those pre-
cincts for the last eighteen years, and
most of the people in them are its
personal friends, perhaps it will per-
coIate into his bean why the Star
hasn't been neutral in the contest,
and also that his idea that the Star
should have favored division was IN
natural ard ridiculous.
The Ocala evening star., 1915-09-15

Straub of the st. Petersburg Times
says that the Bloxhamites who went
down his way told him that they had
favor that it printed, while their op-
punents had free use of the papers

of Bloxham charges that the Star has
been heavily paid for everything it
printed against county division. We
guess that Straub will make up his
mind that somebody is mighty in
competent liar, and we will leave him
to decide who to give the button to.

that he has no desire nor intention of

is probable that Mr.. Nash's friends
will insist on his serving another term
on the council. He is acceptable to
the entire city as well as to the fourth
ward.

At the mass meeting Monday night,
Councilman Roess gave it as a reason
for trying to shift the waterworks to
the Taylor's pond lot that one of the
wells on the present site had gone
bad. The trouble with this well be-
gan some years ago, and is caused
not by the water supply but the cas-
ing, which is old and worn out, giving
away. This well has not been used
for drinking water for years. 1t has
been held in reserve for use in case
of a very bad fire, but the water from
it hasn't been allowed to mix with
that of the other wells. Mr.. Roess
has been on the council for almost

At the least computation, it would
take $4,000 to make a decent park
