Errors in Meek.

My dear Mr.. London
There are some errors in the
Mecklenburg article.
Michel means great, not grant.
Carolus from Latin Caro-, not

Carnal not carnae, from the
genitive carnis.
Carnis, not carni.
Wends, not weeks.

that the paper printed that

the same vegetables from all foreign
countries are now prohibited by quar-
antine orders that have been signed
by the United States secretary of ag-

quarantine became effective Jan. l.
The quarantines follow hearings
held in Washington, In regard to the
advisability of forbidding such ship

from determination that injurious in

PUNTA GORDA WANTS
NAVAL STATION NOW

Washington, D. c., Jan. 4. Punta
Gordamay get a naval hydro-aero-
plane station. This Is the opinion
taken back to Florida by delegation
which has been in conference with
navy department officials. Senator
Uncan U. Fletcher who introduced the
Florida men to the war work chief
tains in Washington, also feels there
good chance for Punta Gorda to get
the navy hydro-aeroplane training
school.
Officials of the navy department
were much interested in the data pre-
sented by the Floridans and promised
to send an inspector to Punta Gorda
soon to look the location over. It Ii
known on good authority that the
government Is earnest in its purpose
to develop this branch of naval war
fare, and willprobably establish at
least two such stations in the South.
There are more than ten localities
that are applicants for hydro-aero-
plane stations and 1t is thought all OF
these will be inspected within the
next three weeks.
G. M. Carrier from Punta Gorda,
and Civil Engineer Clay from Arcadia,
were with Senator Fletcher In con-
ferences at the navy department.
They have returned to Florida opti-
ruistic that Punta Gorda will at least
receive friendly consideration.-Tam-

ASK MORE TIME TO FINISH
UP THE TAMIAMI TRAIL

Miami, Jan. A request for q
years extension of time on the con-
tract for the construction of the Tam
iami Trail was made to the county
board of commissioners today by the
J. D. McCrary company of Atlanta,
for that work. The re-
quest was accompanied by a letter
from ]. F. Morgan, the sub-contractor,
in which he said that he cannot COM
plete the road within the eighteen
months time provided in the contract,
and which expires February 1.
County Engineer Crabtree told the
board that in his opinion the con-
tractors will be able to finish the
work within another year. There is
about 25 miles of the trail left to
build in Dade county, and Mr.. Crab
tree said that the work is now pro-
crossing at the rate Of about a mile
a month. The work has been delay
ed, he said, by the unexpected depth
of muck that has had to be stripped
off the rock foundation, as we'll as by
the unexpected hardness Of the roch
encountered. With a lesser depth o.
muck now to be removed. and softer
,rock, he predicted that the work vii
go ahead faster.
The board laid over the request I'M
til later in the meeting.

JENNINGS NOT REQUIRED
TO PAY TAXES FOR 6 YEARS
ON 10000 ACRES OF LAND

Miami, Jan. A decree has been
signed by Judge H. P. Branning in
the circuit court which virtually sets
aside all taxes assessed against ap-
proximately $4,000 acres Of land In
the southern part Of Dade county for
the years 1911, 1912, 1913, 1914, 1916,
and 1916 The lands In question are
owned by the Dade Muck Land com.
pany Of which William Sherman Jen-
nings former governor of Florida, is
the largest stockholder.
The suit to have these taxes set
aside was filed several months ago
by Mr.. Jennings, and was based
wholly on technical objections to the
procedure of the county board of
commissioners in assessing the taxes
and conducting the tax sale. No de-
Tense to the suit was put in by either
the county or state, and the final de-
cree In the case, enjoining Circuit
Clerk Ben Sheppard from delivering
tax deeds to the property for the tax
sales of 1915, was rendered without
objection on the part of any public
official.
Attorney General Falls Down
County Attorney George e. Nc
Caskill told the county, board today
that because the tax sale certificates
were held by the state he had taken
the matter up some time ago with
the attorney general, who had written
rather vague" letter in which he
gave an implied promise to file an
appearance in the case, but failed to
do so.
The decree signed by Judge Bran
ming declares the taxes assessed from
1911 to 1914 to be void for technical
reasons, and cancels 81 tax sale GER
tificates issued in 1915. The same
grounds on which the decree is rem
dered apply to the procedure of the
commissioners In 1915 and 1916, and
are expected to be used in an effort
to set aside the sale of the same lands
for taxes this year
Taxes for the years covered by the
decree were assessed against the Jen-
nings lands on a valuation of fifty
cents an acre. These valuations
were increased this year, some of the
lands being assessed as high as 5;
an acre and within the last few
months Mr.. Jennings is known t
; have refused a cash offer IL $40 al
acre for a part Of the land covered
by the fifty cent assessment he re
, fused to pay and has succeeded Il
| having set aside.
