LAKELAND GOOD
ROADS ADVOCATES
URGED TO co TO
ORLANDO TOMORROW

At Chattanooga the Dixie high
way was routed via the East
Coast, but at the last moment, for
the reason that two different routes
had been decided on for Georgia and
one other State, Florida was given
ninety days from May % in which
to perfect and present plans and
data for central highway, also to
be known as the Dixie Highway.
and to be designated and used as an
alternate route.
Those interested il the location
of this alternate route are asked to
meet in Orlando, on Thursday, June
10. for the purpose of making prop
err representation of their particu>
lar section and Lakeland, il inter =.
ested, should be well represented.
There will be plans submitted at
this meeting looking to the routing
of the proposed highway through
Lakeland, our neighboring city of
Tampa being prepared to submit the
following proposition: Lake City
south via Gainesville. Ocala, Brooks
vile. Tarpon Springs. Tampa, Plant
City, Lakeland. Barlow, Winter
Haven, Haines City. Kissimmee,
! thence to the East Coast of Mel :
bourne. This would be true West
Coast route and the motoring tour
list would have an opportunity to
see the Gulf of Mexico at Tarpon
Springs and would put him through
| Hillsboro county on vitrified brick
lads. 1t is positive that the whole
of the above road will be completed
| with hard surface material from
Lake City to Tampa by Nov. next.
There is hard surfaced road from
| Tampa through Plant City, Lake
land and Barlow to Winter Haven :
Included in this road in Hillsboro
| county there would be nearly forty
| miles of vitrified brick road and all
that would be required would be the
connecting link between Winter
| Haven and Kissimmee, and this our
county commissioners have pledged
to complete with hard surface ma
terial before the date specified in
the required pledge to the Dixie
Highway Commission
The Chamber of Commerce has
appointed representatives to go to
| the meeting at Orlando. Some of
them have expressed regret at not
being able to go and others interest
ed are urged and invited to 90. Send
in your name to Secretary Hol-
worthy at once and be prepared to
leave at 1880 on Thursday morning.
The railroads have made an ex
cursion rate for the occasion of
$40 for the round trip, the rate
being good on all trains between
June 9th and 18TH.
