EARLY START may
Be MADE ON PAVING
PLANT CITY ROAD

The Plant City Board of Trade
realizes the horrible condition of the
Hillsborough county road from the
Polk county line to Plant City, and of
a meeting held by that body Tuesday
night the Plant City Courier says:
The Plant City Board of Trade, in
session Tuesday night discussed the
condition of East Reynolds street and
the Hillborough coury part Of the
Lakeland road at some length. and
decided to send committee of ten
to Commissioner Chas. H. Taylor
and his colleagues Of the Board OF
County Commissioners with a view
to securing an early start on the paw
ing Of the county's part of this road,
and also to confer with Chairman s.
d. Addison of the street committee
OF the City Council with a view to
having East Reynolds street regarded
and kept in the best condition pos
sible until it is paved with brick or
other material-if that is to be &C
complished at some future time. X
Is realized that the way things are
moving neither East Reynolds street
or the Lakeland road will be paved
this year, owing to the slow progress
being made on the West Coast road
hence 1t was decided to send a com
mittee to the Board with petition
that the work on the Lakeland road
be taken up simultaneously with the
west Coast road, il possible, since
most people who use the West Coas,
road, except Tampa residents, mus
also use the Lakeland road in gettinl
to Tampa before they reach the WesI
Coast road, and 1t Is not desired thai
the public be compelled to go through
another winter with the Lakeland
road in as bad condition as it is now
