IMPRESSED BY WHAT HE
SAW AROUND OCALA
Mr.. J. d. Rooney, Secretary Board of
Trade, Ocala, Fla.

Mr.. ]. d. Rooney, Secretary Board of
Trade, Ocala, Fla.
Dear Sir: During the past few
weeks, have been absent most of the
time on an automobile trip through
the southern part of the state, going
as far as Miami, and therefore, have
not had the opportunity to thank you
for the courtesies extended me at the
time l was in Ocala, last month.
| was very much impressed by the
growth of corn, which | saw at the
Oklawaha farm, and by the possibili-
ties of the land, which has been
drained there, and it seems a pity to
me, that the results obtained are not
more generally known and recogniz-
ed.
| am very much obliged to you and
to Mr.. Hooker and Mr.. Sexton, who
made my trip so pleasant and salts
factory, and l hope that when you go
sightseeing, you will come this way.
w. L. Bell.

PLANS FOR
THE UNION STATION

A number of A c. L. and Seaboard
officials were in town this morning
studying plans for the new union
station. On being interviewed by .
Star reporter, they said they had not
come to a full decision about the loca-
tion.
If the station is located on this
side of the Seaboard, it will be much
more convenient for the people of
the city. The principal objection to
this is that it will cause the Coast
Line trains to make an extra stop,
beside having to start at the bottom
of a grade.
The officials present were E B.
Peasants, chief engineer, H. o. Nc
Arthur, district superintendent, l. L
Sparrow, engineer of roadways, of
the A. C. L, and Bennett Land, divis-
ion engineer and l. B. Burns and H.
G. Harden of the Seaboard.
Superintendent Macarthur came
over from Gainesville with Road
master Robinson, in Mr.. Robinson's
observation car. The other A. c. l..
officials came in Mr.. Peasants car.
The Seaboard men arrived on the
night trains. All left for their re-
spective stations as soon as the con-
ference was over.

CREDITS

Note: This shows a loss OF S41O-91
during the operation Of the water
plant from Jan. 1, 1915, to July 1,
1915. Your committee cannot see
where the waterworks can be operat-
ed more economically than they have
been.
In previous statements it has been
asserted that the cost for pumping
water is about 17c per thousand feet,
and on an average it brings the city
about BE per thousand feet, so if
previous reports are correct the city
loses &c on an average per thousand
feet
This shows the urgent necessity Of
building our combined light and wa
ter plant. We are assured by en-
gineers, the city recently employed,
that water then could be pumped at a
cost of not over &c per thousand feet
and at the rate of present consump-
tion this would mean a saving of 13c
per thousand feet
Council then adjourned until
o'clock this afternoon, when the re-
port of the consulting engineer will
be made on the proposed light plant.

Atlanta, Aug. 1S.-Governor Har-

machinery available will be put in

ing and would be investigated to the

much depends upon the findings of
the Cobb county coroner's jury, which
meets again next Tuesday. Gov
ernor Harris said he hasn't decided
whether it would be advisable to of
fer a reward for the apprehension of
the lynchers. Prison Commissioners

The fall of the Russian fortress of
