EATON W|THDRAWS FROM
MAYORS RACE; FRALEy
OUT FOR THE PLACE

A political sensation was sprung
last night, when it became known
that Hon. o. NJ. Eaton had with.
drawn from the race for Mayor Of
Lakeland Mr., r, j, Fraley, who
had previously announced for Munich,
raj Judge, withdraws from that race
and today announces as a candidate
for Mayor.
Mr.. Eaton's reasons for withdraw
ing are given in a signed statement
printed herewith. The chief consid-
Grafton Is the fact that he introduced
and passed the new charter bill,
which increases the Mayors salary
from 800 per annum to $500, and he
does not think it proper for him to
offer as candidate for an Office the
compensation Of which he had been
instrumental in raising. Further
more, his acceptance of the Office
would entail businesse sacrific
greater than he considers he could
! make at this time, in view of the sac
rifices he has heretofore made to
serve the city.
! Mr.. Fraley has frequently been i'm
portuned to become a candidate for
Mayor and he has a large following
which will be pleased that the oppor-
tunity is offered to support him for
this office.
Mr.. Eaton's card announcing his
withdrawal from the race follows:
To the Citizens of Lakeland.
Before the Legislature adjourned
made the announcement that l would
be a candidate for mayor. However
upon my return to Lakeland after ar
absence Of sixty days, I have decided
to devote my undivided attention tt
my business, and, feeling that have
at least done my "bit" for Lakeland
In the administration of municipal at
fairs, I hereby withdraw my candi
dacy.
Another reason for my withdrawing
from the race is that I was member
of the Legislature and introduced tn
bill (your city charter) which ad
vanced the mayors salary from on
to six hundred dollars per annum, ant
I do not think that it would be be
coming Of me to be candidate TO
this office.
l wish to say that I appreciate tn
feeling which prompted my friend
to urge me to enter this race. but
think they will agree with me unde
the circumstances I would like t
see a. lower tax rate in the City
Lakeland, as, when I left the may
or's chair three years ago, the raj
was 9 IL mills, in 1915 it was IL l.
in 1917 it was Is, and in 1918 1t we
1872 mills and the rate for 1919 NJ
rot yet been fixed.
Respectfully, o. M. EAloN.

It is thought oy the police that they will not only prevent bicycle riders from having numerous wheels broken up by autos driving into them while they are leaning against curbs, but it is also believed that fewer wheels will be stolen if they are parked in the racks rathe rthan left against curbs and buildings.
 In the past numerous complaints have been received by the police of wheels being rulned by autos driving up against them while they were lean ing against the curb. The new policy of the department in such cases will be to call the wheel owners attention to the fact that place for wheels to repose has been provided and that auto owners cannot be held responsible.

 An Earlier Enterprise.
 The dam was built on the site of the old Wolfley dam whose construction was finished twenty-six years ago and was destroyed the following year, or so badly damaged by floods, that experts were convinced that the con- struction then used would not with stand the floods. A letter from Joseph Jacobs, an engineer of Los Angeles to Arthur P. Davis, hydrographer of the U. S. Survey, in 1912 gives a history and detailed description of the enter prise.
 Tt was conceived and fathered" wrote MT Jacobs, "by Ex- Governor Wolfley of Arizona. He was without capital himself, but he, or rather, the Gila Bend Reservoir and Irrigation company Wnlch ne organized, let contract for the construction of the canal to A. A. Daugherty, who was able l to interest eastern capital in the en- | terprise. A construction company was organized to perform the work, this company agreeing at the same time to carry on the affairs of the G. B. R. X l. company, and they in turn were to be reimbursed from revenue derived from 1 the sale of bonds. Ultimately when it was found impossible or inexpedient to bond the canal the construction com pany offered to pay a bonus to the original company and assume the canal but this proposition was rejected and the matter was thrown into court.
 The construction company was in corporated as the Peoria construction company with N R. Gibson as genera manager and chief engineer and A. A 1 Daughter as superintendent. The con struction company and canal company were conducted separately GibsoT acted as chief engineer of the dan while T. J. Rask was retained by the c. B. R & I company as chief engineer of the canal. Active work on tn. canal was begun in May '92 and prose cuted continuously until February '9 when the canal and dam were com pleted.'
