so much land undeveloped. If We
fix the main road from Pensacola to
Flomaton, making this an ideal road
and then maintain it.. This can be
done largely by the use of the drag
used by the farmers along the road.
We can soon fix the lateral roads
that run into the main road. OF
course, all this cannot be done in a
month, but it can be done. The
road from Pensacola to Ferry Pass
should also be made an ideal road,
also the road west to touch Baldwin
county and Barancas road, too, needs
attention.
There are the main roads that
should be repaired first. If man
lives on a by-road, in say, the north
end of the county, and wishes to go
to Pensacola, if the main road is
a good one he will be willing to
travel few miles of road not so
good to get to the main thoroughfare,
knowing that when he reaches it he
will have no trouble in getting to the
city. When the Pensacola Flomaton
road is made that kind of highway,
property viii advance in value and
when everybody in the county pays
taxes according to the value of their
property, / say everybody pay taxes
II don't say some, mean when
every dollars worth of taxable prop
erty in the county is paid on-then
you will see the millage down to
about fifteen mills and more money
in the treasury to work roads with.
more money for schools and to every
thing that pertains to the develop
ment of the county and progress
siveness.
Gentlemen, think these matters
over and if they meet with your APP
proval, let us work together as unit
and help develop the grandest county
in the state.
] am in favor of the board holding
its meetings in the day instead of at
night, so the public will have a bet
ter opportunity to attend the meet
ings.
am open to conviction in all mat.
tiers for the best interests of the peo-
pie of Escambia county and expect
to do my duty as | see it for the bet
terment of the county.
Efficiency in filling all positions
shall be my motto.

Commissioner L. w. Hardy
Expresses His VielOs on Roads

l.. w. Hardy, county commission
er-elect gives the following statement
to The Journal:
AS county commissioner-elect to
take office January 2, 1917, I wish
to express my ideas to my fellow
commissioners and to the public.
Any man who holds office at the
hands of the people is servant OF
the people and should look to the
interests of the people. feel that
the commissioners, especially, should
do so, as they are entrusted with the
raising or reducing of the tax, as the
case may be. / think we should look
well to this and give the people the
very best service at the least posi-
BILE cost to the tax payer.
One of the most important things
that confronts US today is the good
roads proposition. We need better
roads. The new board which will
take hold January 2, is somewhat
handicapped for funds and the July
storm having done so much damage,
we will have to do some good schem-
in gand thinking to keep the work
moving on.
l think the best thing we can do
is to consolidate the convict camps.
/ have studied the matter closely and
claim we can save five hundred dol
lars per month, making a total of
/, six thousand dollars year, to be
saved by consolidating, and if we can
do this, the six thousand dollars will
fix several bad places in the roads
that otherwise, l fear, will have to
| go unfixed. The county has two
trucks and l claim that two guards
with fifteen or twenty men can take
the small truck and go fifteen OF
| twenty miles and do as much or more
work than can be done by two guards
taking team and wagon and going
four to six miles with the same mum
Der of men, as they do now. Let the
man who runs the truck be a guard
and save expense. Sell some of
the old mules that eat as much as 6
| good mule and save that feed.
Another thing that am heartily in
favor of is to move the poor farm tc
some place in the county where we
have soil that will pay to farm or
and we have plenty of that kind here
at Roberts and other place:
in the county. Take the short term
prisoners and the women prisoners
who now sit up in the Jail and work
| them on this farm and make feed fol
the mules at the camp, also raise
vegetables such as potatoes, peas
corn, ETC., and hay and hogs and
make the poor farm feed the stock
and the convicts, thus saving the
county big expense.
We should reduce the tax millage
instead of raise it and if we all CO.
operate, we can do this.
If we have good roads our county
will develop. New people will set
tie in our different communities
They will bring more money to oul
county and clear up and cultivate
thousands of acres of land that now
lies dormant. They will raise stock
and this county of ours will become
one of the best in this great state
of Florida, the land of flowers. Wher
we get the land settled up, with nice
new painted houses dotted here anC
there, more taxes will be paid, anc
good roads are the thing to have t
bring people here. The tax millagt
can be reduced and we will have more
tav money paid in than now is Will

Captain Wallace H. Hebert begs
to state to the public that he takes
this means of informing them that
the information given The Herald
and printed in this paper on Thurs

neous and herewith states the facts
to be as follows:
That there was no mention of
f1ower-pots in the conversation be-
tween himself and Mr.. II. L. Mclean,
that Mr.. Mclean called Captain He
bert from his home on the evening in
question and desired to know If Cap
tain Hebert was circulating any ru-
mors to the effect that he, Captain
Hebert, was going to serve Mr.. Nc
Lean with a notice to vacate. On
the denial of any knowledge of this
rumor by Captain Hebert, Mr.. Nc
Lean, without any warning to Cap
tain Hebert whatsoever, struck Cap
tain Hebert just below the left eye,
causing the eye to become discolored.
