of a mile at certain points, it is Off

Capital in Shipbuild-
IIIy al | di Poi 0a oP5 o25 5 5
VIII the City Accept His Offer, or Do
They Prefer to Hold to Their Inefficient
Form of Government and Drive
Capital Away?

1t is real camoufage ON the citi-
zens for the city council to appropri-
ate money to advertise the city, when
the management of the city drives
people away faster than all the other
influences can get them to- come in.
/ wonder how the people who really
want Tarpon Springs to advance and
grow have held on and kept The Board
of trade alive all this time, when they
know that they are not getting any
where, and have not the cooperation
of the city officials.
A city administration that won't al
low commission form of government
is not going to let board of trade
do anything. They will vote small
appropriation to the board of trade
for advertising, as an opiate for the
boosters, for they know that nothing
will come of it.
/ wrote to the president of the city
council of Tarpon Springs while ago,
the following proposition, and he was
not interested sufficiently to answer:
'If the city council and board of
trade will organize a commission
form of government to cooperate
with an up-to-date board of trade
l will organize a ship-bu'lding
corporation of 100000, or $125,-
OG0 capital if necessary, all out
side capital for TarpOn Springs"
1t seems to me that if the president
of the city council was intere sted in
the city's development, or the success
of the business men, or the good of
the tax payers, that he would at least
have called attention of the beard CT
trade and the city TO this off +.
1t may be asked why l make this
proposition to the city of Tarpoa
Springs. 1t is because / IL: iiie;,. = :
the situation over and find that all tn
best harbors on the gulf have i'm
rn.nse corporations, of large capital.
that hinder email capital from build
ing small merchant ships at a full
profit, and yet the governments IS anx-
ious TO let contracts for the small
boats at a very nice profit, on very
favorable terms, making advance pay
ments just as the conditions warrant,
and the very minute that we satisfy
the government that we can build
ships, she will deepen our channel to
the gulf.
My son, A. E. Welsh, jr, is the
secretary Of the United States Ship
blild,ng corporation of the Southwest,
al New Orleans, and he tells me that
they viii let contracts anywhere on
the Gulf if they are satisfied of the
ability of the corporations to carry
out their contracts, and with Tarpon
Springs foundation to start from and
the knowledge of its boat builders,
and the available Greek workers, 1
think is one of the most favorable
opportunities anywhere, and lean get
the foreman. So, if Tarpon Springs
really wants TO advance they can get
the chance, but they must show their
hand, for no enterprise of this sort
can succeed without tae cooperation
of the city administration
