all been for naught. Mr.. Taxpayer,
your bond trustees should have
known at least six weeks ago posi-,
lively where the new plant was to
be built; will you please inform
yourself on this subject and vote On
the 21st-everyone of you; for some
OF the commissioners say there were
not enough Of you present at that
citizens meeting for them to know
Just what you do want; hence this
delay and waste of good money that
does not come easy just at this tine.
Your bond trustees have had har1
enough time to get this bond Issue
In legal shape and the bonds sold,
surely you can spare the time to il
form yourself and then vote on this
one item of the many they have to
deal with.

final ARRANGEMENTS
FOR Entertainment
Central HIGHWAY
ASSN. BEING MADE

At the luncheon of the member
ship council of the Chamber of COM
merce held at the Colonial Cafe to-
day. the principal topic discussed
was the entertainment of the large
crowd Of visitors that Is expected at
the Good Roads meeting here on
Thursday.
Secretary Holworthy reported the
receipt of a telegram from L. u.
Dickie, secretary OF the Central
Highway Association, stating that
indications pointed to an attend
ance OF anywhere between 1000 and
1000 delegates and visitors, and
urging hotels, restaurants. etc., to
make preparations to take care of
the crowds.
Owing to the large number expect
ed, any kind Of elaborate free en-
tertainment is out of the question:
hut a luncheon is being arranged
for, to be served in the Airdome at
noon. The ladies of the Woman 5
Club have kindly volunteered to
serve the luncheon, and will also
assist in preparing the food.
Valrico is coming in full force to
enjoy the day, the following cordial
letter from Pres. w. F. Miller of the
Valrico Improvement Association to
Secretary Holworthy being of inter
est to our readers, we feel sure:
II am pleased to advise you that
we expect to be well represented at
the Central Highway Association
meeting on the 9th inst. If plans dc
not miscarry you will see us roll i;
your city in about ten automobiles
and would suggest that you make 1t
all right with the chief of police, sc
that we will not be run in for max
ing too much noise.

Hoping that you will have a

MR.. HIGGINS URGES ALL
TAXPAYERS TO VOTE IN
ELECTION REGARDING SITE
OF L. & w. PLANT

Mr.. Taxpayer, when you are re-
minded that the city is paying
$22.60 a day interest on the bonds
that have just been sold and that
the principal item for which these
tonds were issued is now being held
up, and this interest money literal
ly thrown away because some of the
city commissioners are not quite
sure where you want the new light
and water plant built, you will see
the necessity of giving these com
missioners the instructions they ask
for with as little delay as possible.
Several months ago when the bond
trustees INVESTIGATED this matter
with the engineers they became
thoroughly convinced that it would
pay the city many times the cost of
a new site in the saving in operating
expenses by placing the plant as
near as possible to the water level
of the lake With the proposed re-
duction in the selling price of light
it is necessary that water and light
be produced at the lowest possible
cost and in view of these facts the
bond trustees went to the commits
sioners with the request that a new
site be secured for the new plant.
You know the rest-how that some
of the commissioners would not take
the responsibility. how that a citi-
zens' meeting was called, how tina.
the subject was thoroughly dis
cussed, how that the commissioner.

well for them to go into the mathe-

it would be possible for two Auburn

road without mixing up in squab-

road with a fifteen foot board fence

LAKELAND AT HER

LOGICAL HIGHWAY TO BE
BUILT THROUGH POLK

always Ready to Get Lions Share
of Road Funds and Oppose Section
Paying Largest Taxes
ut now develops that Lakeland
is again crowding herself to the pub
lie trough ready to gobble up every
thing in sight. It IL a fact that for
years past our little metropolis Of
Polk county has never lost sight OF
available road funds. That its insati-
able desire for road money again
finds her straining every nerve to
reach every penny. Her game is an
old one and the time is at hand to
call the hand and Winter Haven
will have no hesitancN in playing
the trump card.
'gf a 100000 bond issue is
voted and carried in Polk county i.
will be by the people with the un-
Outstanding that it will be for the
people and not for Lakeland or
Auburndale as is the aim and desire
of some of the citizens of those two
towns Winter Haven and section
must be and will be considered in
the matter of any bond issue, for
through here lies one of the best and
most prosperous sections of the
county, and section which pays
more taxes per capita than any
other.
THE matter of the Dixie High
way has been settled and the route
DESIGNATED and approved at Orlando
on May 10th last, directed the route
through Haines City. Lucerne Park.
Florence Villa, Winter Haven and
Barlow Now comes Auburndalt
and Lakeland who want the route
changed so as to run from Haines
City via Lake Alfred, AuburHdale
and Lakeland, then on to Tampa.
The intention is to divert travel
from the famous orange belt of the
state Why should Auburndale be
placed on the main line of travel
and why should the route pass
through desolate section as sug
gested and outlined by these indi-
viduals. II Lakeland and Auburn
dale want a fifteen foot road to con-
meet them, it should be their bust
ness to get it, but there is no
earthly reason why the people of the
county should be asked to pay for
such route. Any sane man will
admit that there is no comparison
between the adopted route and the
one proposed The highway as Sc
lected will not make a difference en-
ceeding one and half miles from
Haines City to Auburndale via Flor
ence Villa than from the route on
the north side of the Coast Line
railroad.
"The people living in the Winter
Haven section believe in progress as
