PLAN TO MAKE TWO
STATES OF FLORIDA
Question Discussed by Press
ard Public
PROPOSED DIVIDING LINES

no Formal Campaign f1aS Been Ur'
ganized for State Division, but
Sentiment Is Growing With Object
In View, Ii is Said.
A plan to divide Florida into two
states, the southern half TO be called
by its present name, and the north
ern to be named Jefferson, in honor
of Thomas Jefferson, is being serious
ly and widely discussed In private
circles. and in the press Of the state.
1t is suggested that the state be
divided by a line running along the
twenty ninth parallel or by line CO.
NEEDING with the course Of the Su-
vance river, IS miles north Of the
twenty ninth parallel. The proposed
state of Jefferson on the north would
contain approximately $1,000 square
miles, an area little larger than New
Jersey, New Hampshire and Vermont
combined. The rest OF the state be-
low the twenty-ninth parallel would
include some 41,000 square miles,
about the same as the area of Ohiea
and less than the area Of Tennessee.
No formal campaign has been or
ganized to create sentiment for the
proposed division of the state. but 1t
Is believed such movement Is likely
to be organized soon.
