LAKELAND MAY HAVE
GOOD HOME BAND
If PLANS SUCCEED

That Lakeland will have good
local band. that will furnish music
all the year round instead of for a
few weeks in the winter, is indicated
by plans now being worked out by
local musicians and the American Lee
gion. with the cooperation OF the
City Commissioners.
The cheapest imported band that
could be secured, among many with
whom the Commissioners have been
in correspondence, would cost the
city $1,000 week. Orlando, st /.
Petersburg, st. Augustine and other
Florida cities are paying bands H.
the neighborhood Of $4,000 for sea-
son Of two or three months. With a
good leader, who has been tentatively
selected, and with the cooperation of
local musicians, it is estimated that
an all-the-year-band can be had for
about $4,000 the year. Such band,
giving concerts three evenings in the
week, and on Sunday afternoons,
during the winter, and possibly two
concerts a week during the summer,
would be a source of great pleasure
and satisfaction not only to the win
ter visitors but to our home people.
No official action has been taken, in
the premises, tut the plans indicated
are being considered seriously and
wnen worked out in further detail
will doubtless be adopted.
