Be Constructed

Fort Pierce has awakened TO an ap-
probation of the real value and beau.
ty of the Atlantic ocean Scientists
tell us that there is an ounce of gold
in every ton of ocean water. There
is a ton of gold in every ounce of
bridge building spirit that will tie the
Atlantic to the busy streets Of Fort
Pierce.
Greater things will happen when
the Indian River bridge connects the
peninsular strand, beautiful with its
natural growth o. mangrove, with
here and there a grove of oranges,
and miles and miles of shining beach
and natural motorcar beach track.
The city of Fort Pierce is only
sweet sixteen and as a baby everyone
believed in the promise of the future
princess of the mid-East Coast.
Now the bridging of the rivers
breads expanse is assured and at an
early date. There has been much
talk on the project, but no certain or
ganization effected until now and that
is consummated.
Interested men have got down to
business and to hard work and have
accomplished much. Subscriptions to
reorganization stock in the bridge
company reach into the thousands
and are still accommodating and the
promoters are sanguine indeed.
There can now be no doubt Of the
perfection Of the plans for furthering
the movement and as everything
points to quick action a full story Of
the formation of the bridge company
and the work it has accomplished will
be given to the public soon.
1t is with pleasure that The Tribune
is permitted to state that as soon as
the bridge is completed so that
building materials can be transported
across to site on the ocean beach,
10 tourist hotel is guaranteed to the
bridge company and will be construct.
ed then. Pavilions, bathing houses,
golf links and amusements will be ar.
ranged for and the tourists will be
held here by these attractions for
more or less period of time on their
trips through the state.
The plans of the bridge provide for
pedestrian walks and for automobile
to-and-fro driveways. The cOnstruc'
ton of the bridge will be of such ar
chitectural design that beauty will
not be sacrificed to safety and con.
lvenience altogether, but will be built
for service with the ornate features
lacking in no particular.
From far north and south of Fort
Pierce the bridge will be both lux.
urious convenience and a business
commodity for the truckers on the
peninsula.

Bridge To Ocean
For Fort Pierce

come with pleasure and but little
waste of time and with small ex-
pense.
The bridge company has the guar
antee that there will be Immediately
constructed 40-foot hard-surfaced
road from the abuttment of the
bridge on the east end of the struc-
ture to the ocean beach. A large
area will be surfaced for the parking
of cars at the beach side and this
road will be constructed by property
owners on the peninsula without cost
to the bridge company.
The great advantage of the bridge
to ST. Lucie county and to Fort Pierce
in particular can not be estimated
and the company feels more than con-
lident that the revenues derived from
the time the bridge is opened will
more than crafty the fortunate share
holders in the enterprise.
One member of the promoting COM
pany said that no project could be
conceived that would be bigger
boost for this city and this section of
the East Coast for miles. That the
advancement in the values of real
estate in Fort Pierce and in the lands
adjacent to the city would be great.
The business and the manufacturing
industries would be so greatly en-
larged that the city of sixteen sum-
mers wiuld be the envy of the coast.
The spirit of the men in the move
ment is fine and they have at no time
been led into vain speculations in per-
fecting their plans and in prosecuting
their work. ~
Composed of level-headed business
men of calm judgment and fine dis
elimination, they have heard the call
fof the bridge and they have carefully
weighed the advantages to be gained
and are making no mistakes in wild.
eating methods SO frequently used
by mere promoters who have no per-
manent interest in the things they
champion other than the quick money
in sales of stock or in commissions
on promotion.
The bridge will be built under the
wise and economical direction of
these men. Every dollar put into the
project will be spent in the construc-
ton Of the bridge. Each unit will be
finished before another Is projected.
The contracts will call for completed
work as extended into the river. Ev-
cry shareholder will see the dollar in
vested today spent in the construc.
ton Of the bridge tomorrow. There
will be no long delays. Material as.
sembled for the first unit will be
placed within that unit and finished.
The second unit will then be con.
structed and when the last unit is
finished and connected with the 40
foot boulevard to the beach the bridge
will be opened to the public traffic
and advertised far and near that the
great trans-river highway is ready
for the travel of the world.
This will open the only great ocean
resort on the coast Of this county
from Vero to Stuart and will invite
the thousands who 60 and come to
one of the many splendid hotel re-
sorts on the coast.

WHITE LEADERS BACK BETTER
NEGRO SCHOOLS.

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 25.-Atlanta' s
board Of education has voted by a
two-thirds majority to turn one of
the white public schools into a junior
high school for Negroes on January
/, 1920. This is the first high school
for Negroes in Atlanta, and so marks
distinct advance in the city's edu-
cational policy. The boards action
followed hearing granted a COM
mittee Of the cit's leading white
churchmen. The committee is part
of larger body on Church CO-opera-
ton composed of delegates from all
Protestant denominations, and is es-
pecially charged with matters effect
ing the interest OF Atlanta Negroes.
1t includes leading pastors and BUSH
ness men of the city.
The Knoxville, Tenn, board of edu-
cation has planned broadly for its
Colored schools. 1t has several ex-
cellent buildings for Colored child
rem and will open another in Sep
TENDER just erected at a cost of
$4,000, and containing full modern
equipment.
In Greensboro, N. c., the Chamber
of Commerce has undertaken to
raise $500 to install an adequate
heating plant in Bennett College, a
Negro institution.
"This school," writes a member of
the Chamber of Commerce, has been
in our city for approximately twenty
years, and we feel that they have ac-
complished a great deal. especially
toward the solving of the Negro
| problem"
