were surprised to be told that there
has been graft waste and downright
theft in connection with the opera
lions Of the ship-building corporation.
Nor was it surprising to be assured
by Admiral Benson that the affairs Of
the board had been conducted with
an unusual measure Of honesty and
efficiency. There Is no reaso why
both statements may not be true.
contradictory Is they appear.
The organization had to be ex-
banded within a few months from
nothing to a great manufacturing
concern handling hundreds Of mil

all Stages Of manufacture. 1t had to

employees from a population entirely

percentage Of It's effective for armed
service. 1t had to obtain material at
a time when material Of all kinds
was in the greatest demand, and the
most difficult to obtain in the history
fof the world.
In the conduct Of IN enterprise OF
such mammoth proportions under
the circumstances waste was inevita-

the various Community Improvement
Associations.
Your committee fully realizes the
Importance of the project to provide
Fairgrounds, the plan to connect the
various lakes lying within or border
! ing on the city, and many other things
that would make Lakeland better and
more beautiful; but it regrets that in
view of the condition of the finances
OF the city. and the present high rate
OF taxation, these things, if undertake
en- at this time, must be financed in
some other way than wholly by city
funds.
We would recommend as one of the
most urgent needs of the city at this
time the paving of the walks in the
City Park, and would urge upon the
Commissioners that, II possible, this
work be done by the opening of the
winter season.
Your committee has not undertake
en- to go into details, leaving these to
he worked out by the Community
Council and the various committees
1t may find 1t expedient to create; but
submits the outline plan herewith, con-
scious that it is imperfect, because
much that is desirable had to be elm
mated from consideration because of
the p resent status of municipal f.
nances. The committee feels, however,
that II the suggestions submitted are
made effective and continuous pro-
gram conducted as indicated, the
close of each succeeding year will
find marked advance in the physical
appearance of the city.

CASE AGAINST
EATON DISMISSED
COURT RULES Law
UNCONSTITUTIONAL

The case against o. M. Eaton, nor.
mated by the Democratic party -
the late primary for the Office OF State
Senator, was called today IN IL
County Court, and motion to quash
the indictment on the ground that tn
Trammell Corrupt Practices law =
unconstitutional, was presented ~
Senator Eaton's attorneys AftG
hearing the arguments of counsel,
pro and con, the court sustained ~
motion, quashing the indictment, thu
settling the matter in Senator Eaton.s
favor
Senator Eaton's heinous Offenso
was that in making his campaign ~
spent few dollars more than Il pro
scribed by the Trammell act. That Il
doing this he was absolutely innOcenf
Of intentional wrong doing lis eviden1
from the fact that he furnished an
swOre to his detailed expense account
making no effort to conceal anythine.
The principal cause of Mr.. Eatona
overstepping his expense limit Wa
the increase in newspaper advertisilr
rates. He sent out his announcemeuE
and placed his platform in the vari0us
papers of the county, without asking
for rates, supposing they were prac-
tically the same as two years ago. n
most cases, however, these charges
were practically doubled, but he al
not know this until the services had
been given and the bills rendered.
There was nothing for him to do then.
Of course, but to pay the bills, which
caused him to overstep the limit
Mr.. Eaton's host of friends viii b
pleased to learn that his case han
been satisfactorily disposed Of.
