for the quarter also show an increase

ORLANDO MAKES BID
FOR CITRUS EXCHANGE.
FREE SITE is OFFERED FOR A
PERMANENT BUILDING.
Committee Named to Make Investi.
CATION of Advantages Orlando
Claims to Have.

TAMPA, Dec. 19-Offer of free
site for the erection of building,
made by Orlando interests, was
brought before the directors of the
Florida Citrus Exchange at their
regular meeting yesterday. Reports
that Orlando was seeking to get the
exchange to move its headquarters
to that city have been current for
some time, periodical efforts having
been made in the past by different
cities to secure the institution. AS
soon as the Orlando offer was an
nounced, D. C. Gillett, director from
Hillsborough county, stated that he
felt sure that he could promise an
available free sit in Tampa whenev"
err the exchange decides to build its
own home.
The fact that the exchange is de-
sirous of erecting an adequate build
ing of its own at the earliest practi-
cal date, and the further fact that
periodical efforts are made by other
cities to get the exchange to move
its headquarters to various places,
make it very desirable that the ex-
change settle the matter of its per-
manent location once for all, accord
ing to DR.. j. H. Ross, president. For
that reason a committee was named
to go into the matter, this commit
tee consisting of H. G. Putnam, Oak
Hill; P. C. Peters, Winter Garden;
4. C. Gillett, Tampa; E. Parkinson
of Alva, and J. W. Ponder of Sara
sofa.
This committee will make thor
ough investigation of the advantages
offered by Orlando and those offered
by Tampa and will take into consid-
Grafton a large number of points be-
fore reaching a decision. Among
these will be transportation, tele-
graph and telephone facilities, water
freight rates, etc. The exchange has
had its headquarters in Tampa ever
since it's organization and probably
will not move unless it can be shown
that a substantial benefit will result.

Governor Smith has been the best

ambitions of Hearst, who had built
up statewide organization and was
prepared to run.
In spite of this, during the guber-
