Town Will Be Built
 on Tract in Florida

A town is to be built in connection with the development of tract of E, lr' acres between Tampa and BradentoWn' which has just been purchased by James E. Bruce and c. w. Bruce, says the Tampa correspondent of the Industrial Index. A S25,0OO clubhouse, hotel, garage, store and other buildings will be erected. The tract, which is in one of the best citrus fruit sections of the state, was purchased from John Blue. w. A. Blue and w. J. Upchurch. lumbermen of North Carolina.
 While the land has just been trans ferred, the purchasers have had an op- ton upon it for sometime. Plans for the development of the property have been mapped out along lines similar to those of the Oldsmar Realty company. Hirman McElroy, a civil engineer of this c1ty, has been employed to survey the prop erty. laying it off in 40-acre tracts, and has begun work.
 James E. Bruce is president of the bt Neal institutes through the United States, Canada and at Adaliad, Australia He IS also known as one of the leading bank CTS of the west. At the present time he , is in Chicago but recently notlhed ms son that his plans are to leave Chicago : February 15 and arrive in Tampa about February IT with number of people who expect to settle on the newly acquired property.

Georgia County to
 Improve Its Highways

The commissioners of Glynn county.
 Ga, have decided to make at this time
 complete programme for the improve
 ment of the main highways of the coun- ty, says Brunswick special to the Manufacturers Record. It is proposed to pave with some standard paving material the Dixie highway and to widen and complete three main roads leading to adjacent counties, one on the northern side of the county leading to Jessup, in Wayne county, one through the center and one on the south side leading to point of connection with highway to Waycross. These three last roads to roads, and later the most, important to be paved. The commissioners made ap- plcation in 1918 through the state high way commission for federal aid, and re- certly renewed this application. The ten- ta tive plan as outlined is to issue bonds in the sum of SSOO,OO0 with a view to securing a like amount from the federal government, or from the proposed state bond issue, or both. No definite decision can be reached about state aid until the next legislature takes action, which now seems assured. The Glynn county programme provides for 70 miles of inn proved highways, including 5 miles of ,, the Dixie highway, which is it's length outside of the corporate limits of the city of Brunswick in this county.
 The county commissioners have request ed the Board of Trade to appoint com mittee of five citizens to act as an ad- visory committee in deciding the roads to be improved, the kind of material and the amount of the bond issue.
 The city of Brunswick also decided to

Signs of Activity n
 Construction Work

The columns of the Industrial Index in which is published advance news of construction work to be done and ln- formation of construction contracts awarded show steady, substantial m crease in building. Each week now there lis an increase over the preceding week,
 and there are the most reliable lndlca- tions that with the full opening of the spring season-now at hand-the volume
 of construction work in the southwest
 will be enormous.
 Immediately after the restrictions upon
 construction were removed, there were intending builders who felt that 1t would
 be best not to build until prices might
 be lower. The number of these now Is small. however and is growing smaller.
 Intending builders realize that the prices of building materials and of other things entering into the cost of construction
 cannot be appreciably lower until the
 costs of other great commodities are re- duced That some time must elapse De- fore this occurs there cannot be any doubt In the meantime those who did not build would be losing the profit on their investment-and it should not De forgotten that rents are higher. along with other things. Builders realize that with the great demand now for more structures those that are finished earliest can have the pick of tenants as it were For the erection of structures that cost large sums, financial arrangements can be negotiated now on most satisfactory basis, as a rule.
