from
The Everglades drainage district
comes within the scope Of the forego-
ing and in order to comply with the
said requirements, the board of COM
missioners of Everglades drainage dis
trict have taken up with the capital
issues committee of the federal re-
serve board the matter of passing on
the Everglades drainage district bond
issue and the expenditures necessary
for tie prosecution of the work.
With special reference to drainage
works it may be stated that very few
new projects are being approved for
bond issues. Only such drainage pro-
jects are being approved as are of
proven merit, on which considerable
work has already been done. and which
will give the greatest amount of re-
claimed land for the additional expen-
diture.
For the purpose of taking care of
the next twelve months requirements.
the federal reserve board has approved
the expenditure from Everglades drain
age district bond sales of $500, 900.
This is in accordance with the stated
needs of the drainage board. This ar
rangement takes care Of the present
fiscal year and predicted on the in
itial authorization, il is anticipated
that subsequent provision for the fol-
lowing year will, at the proper time,
be made.
The worke now under way involvt in
their completion from this date an ex-
penditure of S2,200.00o. Under the
foregoing arrangement the board is
enabled to proceed with the drainage
works with but slight modification Of
their original program
The board has already concluded to
enter into no more contracts for new
works requiring any considerable
amount of additional expenditure. but
to conserve their resources in order
to be sure of carrying out the work
already undertaken until such time
as nominal conditions in the country
are again restored.
The board feels that the drainage
works will continue TO make good
progress. The completion of the works
now under way will see the founda-
ton system laid down and the remain
ing works will lbe in the nature OF adj
ditions and Celebrations of the pres
ent plans for taking in and retaining
new areas.
There are already over a quarter OF
a million acres of land in the Ever
glades. which from a drainage stand
point are in good condition for farm
ing. The completion of the works
now under construction will provide
the main canals for about half million
acres or more.

SHOOT MOSQUITOES
WITH LOADED Gun
This Is the Only Satisfactory
Way to Get Rid of This
Harmful Pest.

Ladies who have used so-called
mosquito remedies which, instead Of
destroying, seemed to fatten the pasts,
who have risked injuring their COM
plexions by applying evil-smelling mix
lures to face and hands, will learn
with interest how to get rid of mos
quitoes, also reaches, flies and other
pests, quickly, effectively and without
discomfort.
Many prominent Florida women use
a Fenole gun, which is a small hand
sprayer, loaded with Fenole. with this
gun properly loaded, a fine mist is
shot with force into corners, crevices
and all parts of a room which might
be hiding places for mosquitoes.
