u. S. TO REQUEST
MORE BIDS FOR
RESERVE ROAD

While no notice has been received
here of the re-advertising for bids
for the construction of the forest re-
serve wide road between Crestview
and Camp Walton, the announcement
is expected daily by Forester l.. L.
Bishop.
because only ore bidder submitted
figures at the recent opening OF bids
for the road construction, the gov
ernment did not attempt the con-
struction of the highway through
the West Florida forest reserve.
However, it was the consensus Of
opinion of the experts at the meeting
that it would be best to advertise a
second time for bids. This would en-
able contractors awarded the work to
begin construction early next year.
This highway through the heart of
the big government reservation
would open up vast virgin forest
to autoists and would establish IL
good road between Crestview, on the
L. & N. railroad, and Camp Walton,
the popular gulf resort West Flor
ida people who live in the vicinity OF
the proposed road are awaiting the
announcement of readvert1sInS Tor
bids with much interest.

HARBOR CRAFT
TO BE ALLOWED
MORE LIBERTY
ACTION OF GOVERNMENT BELIEV-
ED TO PRESAGE LIFTING OF
SHIPPING REGULATIONS.

Owners of small boats in Pensa-
cola will welcome the announcement
that restrictions on the movement Of
such boats within the harbor and
the licensing of small craft is to be
removed shortly by the customs au-
thorities. This would seem to pre-
sage the lifting of all shipping reg
ulations, imposed at all ports when
American shores were threatened by
submarines at the beginning Of the
war. These restrictions have pre-
vented the picnic parties which used
to be held On Santa Rosa Island here
and the boating trips which used to
be features for winter tourists on
Escambia and Pensacola bays.
