Let the Other Half Come to Florida.

The price of coal has almost doubled since the
beginning of the and this alleged peace has
not brought about prices greater supplies.
1t looks if the colder sections of the United
States are to have another winter of discomfort

who could afford to buy coal and stay home are
the ones who afford to Florida and
miss it all, while the poor devils who have no
money to buy coal must stay with the ice and the

Settle Sc ,tic Tank Case.

Carroll. Aug. THE long drawn out
discussion between several hundred
municipalities such as Carroll. and the
Cameron Septic Tank company is set
tied at least so far as Carroll is con-
cerned. The city has voted to pay
the company $50 which settles the
quarrel for Carroll.
The quarrel has a long history and
involves practically every town which
has installed a system of sewage dis
posal during the past ten years. The
Cameron Septic Tank company claims
to have patent on the process gener-
ally used.
discussion arose as to whether a
natural process such as sewage dis
posal could be patented. The Cam
eron company attempted to charge
royalties to all municipalities infring-
ing upon what they called their pat
emit process. In a lawsuit brought
against the town Of Shelbyville, Ken
lucky, the company secured decision
in it's favor. The municipalities effect
ed then united to form the National
Septic Process Protective League.
Carroll became q member of this lea
que. Not long ago. the Cameron com
pany reached an agreement with the
league and decided to accept a lump
sum Of IS, 900 royalty. CAROLS share
of this sum is $50. Before joining the
league this city alone would have had
to pay $4,000.
