WILSON HOME THIS MONTH, CONGRESS CALLED BY JUNE
FLORIDA SPENDS
FOR GOOD ROADS
BY W. D. BENSON

wish to give a few facts in
regard to good roads in Polk
county, Florida. Spent last Jan
uary and February in this coun-
ty and drove over the most of
the rcads and | will say for the
information of any who might
think it a burden on Crisp com-
ty to build paved roads, while
| saw nothing except small
orange groves, no farms except
very small truck farms, many
of them you would not consider
worth while, yet this county has
built $50 miles of good asphalt
roads and is still building. and
if these people can build $50
miles with the source Of revc-
nue. that | saw, it seems t2 me
that Crisp county could easily
build and pave every public
road in the country now
while it is necessary to have
good roads for travel.
The real estate people iii
Polk county told me that the
lands on the good reads were
worth from % to so per cent
more than on other roads. So
you see that the road will more
than pay for themselves before
they are finished.
