ENGLAND AFTER THE WAR

Winnipeg. Canaua, May 23.-The
provincial authorities in Canada are
receiving notice that a gigantic in
dustrial fair will be held in London
soon after the end of the war TO
boster up Great Britain's trade, and
all business enterprises of import
ance in the Dominion are being
urged to participate.
Plans for carrying out the idea,
which originated in England, have
been placed with a body of men to
be know as the Empire Fair Com
mittee," Erection of a huge auditor
ium. more than three times the size
of the Olympia, London's largest
hall, which seats 10000 persons, is
one of the steps contemplated by the
fair officials.
Several of the British possessions,
including Egypt, Australia, New
Zealand and South Africa. already
have reserved space, according to the
letter. 1t is believed that Canada
will Join with other countries in
making the project a success.

iGREAT IN WEALTH,
POOR IN ROADS


OF the I,2OO,4S0 acres in Polk
county only 6,S7S are in actual cul-
tivation. According to the report OF
the commissioner of agriculture for
l9l3-14 these 6,S7s acres produced
SI,677,5O5 in fruits, vegetables and
field crops and produced and main
tanned s955,S61 in live stock, poul-
try and dairy products, or total OF
s2,7S3,366.
Polk county is fourth among the
counties in the State in population,
its increase in the past ten years be-
ing 1895 per cent. It's assessed valu-
alton is s14,S00,000 which is in
creasing at the rate of % per cent
per annum. Polk is one of the richest
counties in Florida.
Poul county proposes to bond for
s1,5OO,0O0 for the construction of
2l7 miles of sheet asphalt roads.
These bonds will bear interest of 5
per cent or $4,000 a year. Under
the present road system Polk county
property owners pay $116,000 a year
TO keep up the old clay and sand
roads, and the commissioners have
to economic in every possible way
to make both ends meet. In addi-
tion to the $4,000 the commission
ers have about $4,000 annually from
automobile taxes and the use of con-
Wet labor valued at $4,000, or
about $4,000 in all.
Based on these CURES, without
considering the increase in taxes
that should naturally follow actual
development because of the installa-
ton of good roads, Polk county could
put aside 100000 a year at COM
pound interest of per cent, pay the
bonded Indebtedness in twenty-five
years, and still have $4,000 a year
for road maintenance and lateral
extensions. Polk county unquestion-
ably is in excellent physical and fl
nancial condition to incur this in
debtedness, the expenditure of which
will mean so much for the future
progress and prosperity of its citi.
zens.

To The Voters Of
Polk County

want to thank you for nominal
ing and electing me to be your coun-
ty treasurer. have endeavored TO
conduct the affairs of the office in a
systematic and business-like manner
and my way of administering the
duties of the Office of county treas
urer has been highly commended by
those in authority and having juris-
diction over my reports, etc., to-wit:
The Board of Public Instruction.
The Board of County Commission
ers.
The Grand Jury, and
The State Auditors.
However, by constitutional amend
ment and act of the legislature, the
treasurer's and collectors present
duty will be discharged by one Of
ticer at the expiration of the present
term of these officers; and l have
some aspiration to continue the work
in the future, therefore, l conclud-
ed to ask for the Office of tax COL
lector, and thereby, in a measure. to
stand for reelection to as much of
my present work as is within your
province to give me. And in the
event l am your choice and am NOM
mated and elected to the office of
tax collector, the difference in my
work then and now will be that !
will receive the countys funds from
the taxpayers rather than from the
tax collector. With this experience
l feel that am capable of handling
the work in the office of tax collec-
tor.
am prepared to furnish any bond
for the faithful performance of my
! duties that will be required of me by
the authorities having jurisdiction
over such matters. l do not feel
disposed to dictate to them as to the
amount or kind of bond that should
be required, for l realize that the
law is just as explicit on the matter
of making bond as it is about issuing
receipts, distributing the funds ant
making reports, etc. l think it i.
useless to promise and pledge myself
to do something that the law say,
is absolutely required.
I think it is wise to get the en-
dorsement of the voters and citizens
first for the office. and then our au
thorities under the law will requir,
me to do the rest, and l say again
am ready to obey them and compl,
with their demands in every particu
lar.
I will say, however, that / will
obey the law governing tax collec

WHY POLK COUNTY SHOULD
BOND FOR GOOD ROADS

Los Angeles county, California
which includes the city of Los An
geles. not many years ago boosted oil
a population of $4,000. Today it has
a population OF half million peo-
pie.
Land values have increased in Los
Angeles county from IS an acre 10
900, and in a few instances SlO'-
OO0 an acre. This great development
is due in large part to the improve
ments made by means OF s5V'ooo'-
900 bond issue.
Polk county, in 1905 had popu-
lation of 1865. In 1915 it had
grown to S7,422, an increase OF
1895 per cent. Up to the present
time Polk county, the fourth richest
in the State, has made no progress
in modern road construction.
Lake county in 1905 had popu-
lation of 1915, and in 1915, l2,4oS'
an increase of 65.9 per cent. Last
year Lake county through bond is
sue, spent 100000 in the construc-
ton of 200 miles OF hard surface
roads. This county now has more
than 400 miles of sand asphalt and
clay highways.
, st. Johns county in 1905 had a
population of 1908, and in 1915 it
had grown to 13,4S7, an increase OF
22.6 per cent. st. Johns county
bonred for s65O,OO0 and built "a
miles of brick roads.
Wealth and population considered,
Polk county today is much better
able. financially, to bond for ST.
500, 900 for good roads than was
either Lake county or st. Johns
county two years ago. Should Polk
county refuse to bond, Dr.. Ross says
that it will cost the people of the
county $15,0O0,00O within the next
fifteen years.
Aside from the permanent devel-
opment that will follow the building
of 217 miles of sheet asphale roads
in Polk county, it is estimated that
the contractors will pay $4,000 q
month, or 100000 a year for labor
and material within the county
Bonding for good roads is Polk
county's great opportunity.

tion 10 YOU that don't like the view

know whom one should see about
having a nice, big sign put up there

then we could have nice advertise

There are a couple Of little signs

and we could just as well have some
thing not only interesting but bene-

lady-like girl that sings in the choir
and all that, and you have been

cigarette signs-not to mention
chewing tobacco signs.

AUTOMOBILES FOLLOW
HARD SURFACE ROADS

Polk county embraces 1,22O,4SO
acres and proposes a bond issue of
$1,5OO,OO for PIT miles of sheet as
phalt roads. St. Johns county con-
tains 61S,24O acres and last year
spent $650,OO0 for ga miles of brick
roads.
Two years before st. Johns county
built hard surface roads it is esti-
mated that in the winter season zoo
automobiles month passed through
st. Augustine down the coast In
March of hits year 1900 cars passed
through st. Augustine to points IN
South Florida; 200 automobiles
through st. Augustine March, 1914
500 cars through St. Augustine
March, 1916.
In proportion to acreage, Poll
county proposes to bond on abou
the same ratio as did st. Johns coun
ty. Land values in Polk are at pres
ent much higher than in St. Johns
although values in the latter count!
are steadily rising since the new
roads were completed.
Eight times as many AUTOMOBILES

result of modern road construction

would contribute to the upbuildin!
