California Ducks Quack With Joy

California, MO.-The birds on pOul-

They have one convenience that no
monarch could have enjoyed SO years

That convenience is electric fans.
The fans and running water have been
installed in the large feeding station
of the A. Il. Cole & Sons plant.
Under the spray of a fountain in the
feeding station is the favorite haunt of
the ducks and geese. The manage
ment has found the fans and water of
economic value, as it saves the lives
of many fowls and makes them fatten
faster in the hot weather.

Such = plant can be built on proper

be installed for probably less than
$1,000.
In order to come up to the stand
ards Of other towns and cities of the
state, Daytona Beach must have bet
ter streets before almost any other
improvement. It will cost about
$4,000 to pave Seabreeze avenue
alone. II property owners pay two
thirds this means a cost to the town
of at least $1,000. II the thing Is done
rightly. sewer mains should be laid
on Seabreeze avenue before any pave
ment Is laid. In the course of a very
few years, such q sewer will be a
positive necessity and should oy all
means be laid before paving is done.
For two years, certain citizens have
tried to obtain q new street south
from BOstwick Park to the town line
the plea or excuse has always been
that the town was too poor to pay
out few hundred dollars and yet,
II the pier issue is carried, it is
planned to take $4,000 or more from
the general taxes to complete repairs
on the casino and pier.
IF the town wants a municipal
building let them build a substantial
brick building with part of the money
which it plans to waste on the Keat-
ing property. II the town wants a
pier, let 1t make other needed i'm
provements first and then build a
wider and better pier at the end of
one of its cross streets and make
regular allowance in the yearly bud
get for its upkeep.
More than two years ago, Daytona
Beach bonded for approximately
$4,000 for a municipal water works
and now has an almost perfect sys-
, tenn of water supply to all inhabited
parts Of the town. Let the citizen,
about to vote on the question Of buy
ing the Heating property. compare the
two investments and carefully weigh
in his judgment the advisability OF
spending nearly as much money as
! the cost of the water works for a di
lapidated building which can hardly
be repaired and a pier which will
wash away with the first hard storm
| Mr.. Oliver substantiated the fact
that the present bond issue was made
to include q Joker of $500 for the
paving of Seabreeze avenue, chiefly
for the purpose of carrying the piel
question. Those who are anxious fol
the paving Of Seabreeze avenue will
he glad to hear that If the present
issue fails to go through, an cleo

next general election for street i'm
