Mr.. Higgins Has
More to Say
Regarding Tax
Feature Oh:
TOmorrOW'S
Election

The statement has been published
that the tax amendment to be voted
ON tomorrow lacked only one vote Of
carrying by two-thirds majority, when
it was last voted on, when, in fact, the
vote was % for the amendment and
AZ against. This proposition came up
several years ago when the city char
ter was to be amended by the Legis-
lature, but was turned down by the
City Council 1t has been twice turned
down since that time by the votes of
the people There seems to have been
no effort to get in it's place a just and
effective means of collecting city
taxes, but persistent determination
to hamstring real estate values by
this cumbersome, expensive and un-
righteous proposed method or collec-
ton, which, If enforced, as all laws
should be, would often amount to con-
fiscation Of the property Of the un-
fortunate man who could not PROMPT
iy pay his taxes. N. A. HIGGINS.

CERTAIN AMENDMENTS
TO CITY CHARTER
TO Be VOTED
ON TOMORROW

Two elections will be held in Lake
land tomorrow, both at the City Hall.
One will decide the fate of three prop
csitions amending the city charter;
the other will decide as to the issu-
ance of bonds in the sum of $50 900 to
take up the city's floating indebted
ness. The election on the amend
ments, it is expected, will be held on
the lower floor of the City Hall, and
that relating to the bond issue on the
second floor.
The amendments have been pretty
thoroughly discussed in this paper
and the voters as whole are familiar
with them. There is no pronounced
objection to any Of them, except to
the one bearing on the collection Of
taxes, 1t is generally thought that
the remaining amendments should
carry, and that 1t would be also wise
to vote the bonds, as being more
convenient and economical method Of
handling the city's Indebtedness
Very few persons realized that they
must have their 1916 and 1917 poll
taxes paid in order to vote, and. for
this reason a very light vote is antici-
pated.

OsCEOLA COUNTY
ROAD NOT YET
PASSABlE

Senator Eaton, in a trip over the
Osceola county road to the East Coast
last week. had a very unpleasant ex-
perience and unhesitatingly con-
dennis the Commissioners of that
county for their apparently wilful
neglect to compel the contractors to
provide passable detour around con-
struction work. The Senator states
that a couple of the convicts could
have put the detour in passable shape
in few hours, instead Of which car
after car is allowed to bog down In
trying to get through as best 1t can,
failing in which, more convicts are
set to work to get the car out than
would be necessary to remedy the
trouble.
| In the meantime, travel Is being d.
verified from Kissimmee and sent
around Plant City, Dade City, Mas
cote and Orlando If Kissimmee
continues to stand for this, she Is
either an example Of supreme pa
thence or lazy Indifference.

"a Society St., Charleston, s. G.
March 81 1918
To the Voters of Lakeland:
On the 18th of this month you will
have submitted three proposed
amendments to the City Charter.
Feeling that all of these amendments
should carry and on account Of now
serving in the navy and being unable
to get home to vote in favor of these
amendments. l am taking the liberty
of addressing you thus.
One amendment deals with the sal,
aries of the Commissioners, and the
increase Of the number Of regular
meetings. Lakeland Commissioners
'are paid from one-third to one-tenth
of what councilmen in towns of sim
lila, size are paid. In salary Lakeland
pays her Commissioners in accord
With towns the size Of Punta Gorda,
while in amount of work she places
upon them more than does st. Peters
burg, Orlando, and Ocala. The pres
eEt amount of one hundred dollars pc,
yeal should be increased, and l think
any citizen considering it Will concede
that and will so vote. The provision
requiring weekly meetings and bust
ness hours at the City Hall is needed
AMI should be required, this will re-
suit in increased efficiency. The other
provision giving the city the right to
topen and close streets, ETC., is a pro-
vision which is absolutely necessary
for town the size Of Lakeland I'm
