FEDERAL AID FOR ROADS.

Florida's share of federal funds for
road building for the current fiscal
year is 81, 147, 447.92, according to the
announcement of DR.. c.. F.. Marvin,
assistant secretary Of agriculture.
This is to be used as federal aid for
the construction of roads during the
present fiscal year.
This money is appropriated with
the explicit understanding that either
the state or local communities to be
benefited shall raise at least one DOH
lar for every dollar the government
furnishes. On this basis of appor-
tionment at least $2,294, 1854 will be
made available for road work in Flor
ida as result of this federal aid
The amount of the federal aid comes
from two separate acts of congress
one approved July II, 1916, and the
other approved February %, 1919
The former appropriates $4,000 200
and the latter $75,000,000 for use in
the construction of rural postroads
in the United States during the fis-
cal year 1921. Before making the APP
portionment to the several states the
acting secretary of agriculture de-
Quoted SO, 100000 or three per cent as
the estimated cost of administering
the, two acts.
The meeting of the Florida State
Automobile Association, for the good
roads rally, which will be held in ST
Augustine Thursday and Friday, July
80 and 80, will be attended by good
road enthusiasts from all parts of the
state, and Escambia county is plan
ming to send a special car, the dele.
gates from West Florida to present
| their claims to state and federal aid
in a convincing manner. This part Of
the state has profited little, so far
from the federal aid fund, one reason
being that West Florida commission
ers have not done their full share ii
meeting the conditions laid down b,
| the government.

PENsAcoLA's HIGH SCHOOLS

No one. looking at the picture of the

journal and contrasting it with the
nresent ramshackle tabernacle pulio-
ing, on Gregory street, where the stu
dents have been housed for several
wears. can doubt bat that the bona
election will carry on july ~, Wnen
the naon1e of Pensacola wills be called
mon IN express themselves at o the
polls, either for or against gooo
schools, and particularly good high
school, forl this city.
Pensacola ranks lower than any
other city in the state in its high
school building and equipment Even
Milton, SO much smaller town than
Pensacola, has a high school that is
a matter of civic pride, and an insti-
tuition which is an inspiration to other
towns of Florida. expressing as II
does the interest that Milton takes
in its boys and girls, and the advan-
tages that those boys and girls are
receiving.
The present high school building is
an insult to the community and the
worst possible advertisement for this
city. The new high sehool building is
such as would rank with any city of
the same size in the country, and will
be a splendid Pensacola advertise
ment.
One of. hte best evidences of the
prosperity of any town is good
schools The man of family is always
the best workman, be he mechanic or
bank president, and no man who has
the right kind of family pride wants
to settle in a community which does
not offer it's growing boys and girls,
and particularly those of high school
age, such advantages as may be Sc
cured in other cities of the same size.
The splendid schools of ST. Peters,
burg, Fla, have done much to help
in building that town, and there can
be no doubt but that the new high
school will be a tremendous asset in
building Pensacola. That the cleo
ton will carry and the work soon be
underway no one can doubt who has
faith in Pensacola.

in contemplation of the picture over

the camp fire whose breakfast de-

unheeded across his arm; nor did he
make one move to strike, though
many a tempting change had offered.

But the Boss saw his 1.-the body

RICH EVERGLADES sEcfIoN.

The Supreme Court of Florida in a
unanimous and sweeping opinion up
holds the constitutional validity of
the drainage act, as embraced in
chapter 1862 of the acts of 1919 Laws
of Florida. This act was an amend
ment to other acts, all of which pro-
vide for organization, administration
and financing of the Everglades Dis
trict Of Florida, the amendment pro-
viding, for the enlargement of the
Everglades drainage district, the is
sue of two and one half million dol
lars of bonds of the districts
The Everglades drainage district
embraces most of what is known as
the Everglades of Florida, covering
an area larger. than state of Rhode
Island and Connecticut combined, the
largest and greatest drainage project
in the world and said to include in it's
boundaries some of the most fertile
bodies of land in existence. The valid
ity Of the Everglades act was con-
tested by Robert L. Zimmerman.
The Everglades scandal is fresh in
the minds Of the American people, but
there is no longer any doubt but that
this great tract of land will yet
bring billions of wealth to Florida
The growth of Miami and other cities
and the farming sections of the
'Glades, are ample justification of the
faith that Floridians have had in this
section of the state, sthe reclamation of
| which was the dream of the late Gov
ernor Broward, and to which much OF
his life was dedicated.
An idea of the wealth of Miami may
be gained by the statement that Mi
amrs financial institutions have
gained more than four millions in de-
posts during the last year, or ap-
proximately 81 per cent. The gain
made in the last twelve months is
the largest gain in a period of five
years during which time the deposits
| increased from S3,s55. loo to the pres
ent total of $15,761,29S.
