ROAD WORK STARTS
CLEARING AND GRUBB1NG
Engineering Work Being Pushed
to Permit of Letting Hard-Sur-
facing Contracts Soon-Drain-
age an Important Matter.

Robert Wilkins who was award
ed the contract for clearing anC
grubbing roadways in the Punts
Gorda special road and bridge
district got his forces organized
and started actual work thi,
week. He will push it forward a:
rapidly as possible and expects tt
have it all completed within the
contract time.
Contracts for hard-surfacine
will be let as soon as the. engineers
can complete the work of making
up blue prints, specifications, etc
Commissioner w. M. Written
continues to give close attention
to the work; and engineer j. S,
Bannister, with the assistance OF
F. E. Carmichael, is working up
the field notes and making blue
prints and profiles, as well as get
ting up other details, as fast as
the nature of the work will per-
nit.
1t is big undertaking, more
so than is realized by one not ia
miliar with such work, and it is
a necessary work if the best roads
are to be obtained. The life of
the roads, when completed and
under use will demonstrate this.
In the opinion of Mr.. Written,
as well as others versed in the
matter, adequate drainage for
roads is most important factor
in road construction, and that
this one thing more than all else
will affect the lasting quality of
the roads. Accordingly drainage
is being given close attention, and
this item alone-the working out
of plans and placing them on the
profiles and specifcations-takes
considerable time.
The construction of roads as
provided for in the Punta Gorda
special road and bridge district
is no small task, and Mr.. Written
is using his best efforts towards
the end that when the work is
completed it will be one of the
best and most durable systems of
highways in Florida.

The Different Lo0e Letter

In the confessions of a certain famous
man it is recorded that during his en-
gagement to the woman whom he after
wards happily married he never once
ventured to write to her except on a
postcard
Emma would have heard from me fire.
quently," he says, but that I had a
morbid fear that she would expect what
is called a love letter. l am capable OF
conveying some account of my affairs by
the pen, but 1 cannot, and never could
enlarge on the subject of my emotions.
l am not sentimental; or at any rate, l
am not sentimental on paper"
This admission, made long ago, is true
of many men of the present day. They
cannot write love letters. And they are
tortured by the thought that love letters
are expected OF them by their future
wives.
I wonder how many women. realize this
masculine popularity and make adequate
allowances for it? There is a convention
between betrothed couples than an ardent
correspondence should be kept up, during
a parting, and that each letter should
contain some assurance of affection. 1t
Is custom which bears very hard on
some male temperaments.
The happy young girl, listening for the
postman's knock, and hoping for "just a
scribble' from her fance, little knows
how considerable has been the labor OF
producing that scribble. Precisely because
he has had difficulty in composing It, its
punctual arrival testihes to his fondness.
The writing of the scribble has been a
real sacrifice of time as well as a con-
siderable struggle for ideas. Nevertheless,
the essential quality OF the lovers "scrib-
ble'' is subtly absent. For the prime char
acteristic of love letter, Scrubbed" or
not, is that 1t should be spontaneous.
