Langdon's municipal authorities are
just at present doing all that lies
within their power to bring owners of
automobiles to full realization that
it is criminally wrong to continue the
reckless speeding of their cars within
the city limits. There have been &C.
cidents and near accidents on mum.
ber of occasions since the season
opened and the parents of small chill
dren and owners of valuable dogs have
both had cause to demand that the
authorities see that their rights are
protected and the law regarding a
safe and sane speed limit rigidly en-
forced. The police have got their
orders and the first reckless driver ID
going to be grabbed. Look out!

Daytona win hold : special election
tomorrow to pass on the Long Dis

According to the city charter it il nee
essary that all ordinances of this na-
ture be approved by . vote OF the
people.
The business interests Of Daytona
as well as the interests Of the hotels
and many of their guests are vitality
concerned in this important matter.
The American Telephone and Tele-
graph company has now more than SIS
miles Of cable ctretched from Jackson
vile through Daytona to Miami and
the last lap to Key West is now under
construction. When this is completed
it will constitute = joining link with
the proposed cable from Cuba and it
is reliably predicted that this will be
accomplished within the next three
weeks.
More than half million dollars has
been expended in this construction
work and the indispensable and neces-
sary expenses connected Herewith.
From Jacksonville to Key West the
right of way of the Florida East Coast
railway has been followed. When COM
pleted the line will be 522 miles long.
Inability to get material has caused
some delay on the Key West extension
as part of the cable used is manufac-
tured in England However. it is be-
lieved that the line will be completed
within the next three weeks.
Service is now being maintained
from Jacksonville to Miami and towns
along the way, with connections for
cities of other states, and if the cleo
ton to be held tomorrow ratifies the
franchise Daytona will enjoy the SPLEEN
did long distance service that the Am
erican Telephone and Telegraph COM
pany has a world reputation for.
A cable between Key West and Gu
ba is being contemplated and ultim-
ately. will be laid, in which event the
line between Jacksonville and the Is
land City will be utilized. Such a ca
BILE would connect the United States
and Cuba by telephone and also con-
meet Canada.
As previously reported, after the
franchise is ratified and there can be
no possible objection to it's being
granted. Daytona Will have what is
known as an Al Office. which permits
the local operator to connect directly
with other cities instead of having to
get the call through Jacksonville. as
the operators have to do now.
