KEEP UP WITH OTHER
PROGRESSIVE COUNTIES
MARION NEEDS To BOND IN ORDER TO TAKE HER
PROPER PLACE IN THE GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT

With the county campaign ended,
and the atmosphere cleared of poll
tics, the next movement of magnitude
in Marion county will be toward an
issue of bonds for the purpose of con-
structing permanent roads, roads that
will make for economy, and that will
put Marion in line with such counties
az Polk, Lake, Pinellas and Hills
borough, in the matter of modern
highways.
Mr.. I. 7. Munroe, who took so
much interest in the recent tour of
inspection over the sand-asphalt
highways of Lake county, was asked
this morning about the proposed bond
issue. He is confident that the issue
will carry in this county if it is
brought to vote, and he is in favor
of. meetings in the various sections of
the county, to be held for the purpose
of outlining just what the bond issue
will accomplish, just how it is to be
handled, and in order that any and
all questions pertaining to the issue
might be fully discussed and answer
ed.
In addition to the 200 miles of per-
manent highways to be built in Polk
county as result of the recent voting
Of an issue of bonds to the amount of
81 100000, that county has received,
and will continue to receive, an in
valuable amount of free advertising.
Newspapers n and magazines the coun-
try over have given news and editor
ial space to the Polk county project.
Folks action has been held up as an
example to the nation.
All who went from this county to
inspect the sand-asphalt highways of
Lake county, and saw those highways
being constructed, came back highly
and it was agreed that
Marion would have to act quickly in
order not to remain behind in the
march of progress. A bond issue was
said at the time to be the proper
thing. Action was delayed on this |
until after the political campaign, |
and this campaign is now over.

Washington, June 12.-The Mexi-

past winter was the heaviest since
1889. The Maxwell made the trip to
California's most famous mountain
lake without any aid save that fur
nished by its own engine and its
hardy crew of four men.
In many places the snow was piled
fifteen feet deep, but the car came
through without being buried once.
The success of the venture was due in
large part to the ability of the car to
ride the heavy drifts instead of break
ing through them, as was the case
with heavier cars in past seasons.
More Economy Tests
Mr.. McNamara's latest economy
test was observed by representatives
# the Lincoln Highway Association
and the San Diego fair, while the au-
tomobile editor of the Oakland, Calf,
Tribune inspected the speedomether
gears, the carburetof, etc.
Speaking of the economy test at
Seattle, one of the newspapers there
said:
Seattle has been the scene of
numerous economy trials, which have
aroused much interest among motor
enthusiasts, but a new chapter was
recorded when 1916 model Maxwell
touring car, carrying FIVE adults and
two children, travelled from Seattle to
Tacoma on a gallon Of gasoline. That
the performance was not an accident
was demonstrated when the feat was
repeated on the return trip. The dis
tance from the Seattle Automobile
company's building IN Seattle to the
Logan Garage in Tacoma is forty
three miles, which gives the Maxwell
a record for phenomenal gasoline
economy"

MAXWELL RECORD IN
A PACIFIC COAST RUN

Recent motor car performances In
the west have focused the attention
of the automobile public on Maxwell
cars. During the month of May, stock
Maxwell cars have been put through
various PAGES along the Pacific coast
and in every instance have establish
ed records that proclaim dependable
ity, strength and the all-important
item of economy.
Ray Mcnamara, who has piloted
several Maxwell economy runs, and
who established a record in Detroit
early in April when he drove stock
touring car forty-four miles on a gal
Ion of gasoline, broke his own record
in California, when he drove car
from Oakland to San Jose, the speed
ometer showing 45.6 miles when the
engine stopped after consuming its
supply of one gallon of gasoline.
In connection with McNamara's
performance, report comes from
Seattle that a Maxwell touring car
made the run from Seattle to Tacoma
on gallon of gasoline. A distance of
forty-three miles was registered and
the car carried five adult passengers
and two children.
