there are 40 or SO towns, each with

Manatee-Arcadia state Road.

A movement is on foot in Manatee
county to issue bonds to build road
from Manatee to the DeSoto county
line. This road would go through
Arcadia to Okeechobee City and
from there to the east coast. Ac.
cording to last weeks issue of the
Manatee River Journal, assurance
has been received from the state
highway commission that the road
will receive state aid and will be
built according to specifications to
be furnished by the state highway

There is entirely too much division

! $40 miles of road from DCLand to
Pensacola is just like the road from
Harden Ferry, on tie south of Vo-
lusia county. to the Putnam county
line-and in abouv TIE same cordi-
! ton. This little stretch of Volusia
road is managed as follows: About 10
miles by the commissioner of Dis

men of the town of Orange City;
three miles again by the commission
rer of District No. |; two miles by the
commissioner of District No and by
three bond trustees; two miles by the
city council of DeLand; three miles
again by the commissioner of District
No.2; seven miles by the commissioner
of District No. 3; mile or so by the
councilmen of the town of DeLeon
Springs (if DeLeon Springs has a
city government at the present
time); and the rest of the way, 10 to
3 miles, by the commissioner of Dis
! trict No. 3. The State Road Depat-
ment is also doing some work on this
road, working prisoners in the north
end, and a truck and some men in
the south end. In oil there are three
county commissioners, Ia city coun-
cilmen, and the State Road Depart
ment in charge of this stretch of As
miles of road.
The system is wrong. Volusia
county pays about $4,000 year in
auto license which is returned to the
county, or spent on county roads by
the state Road Department; less
than one-half of this amount, if pro-
perly spent under the authority of a
competent road engineer employed
by the State Road Department (such
man in the person of Engineer Tur-
ner is now in charge here) would
keep this road in splendid shape and
hard-surface two to five miles a year
.of 1t. But $4,000 cannot keep it in
shape with the present divided au-
thority and ideas.

should take over all through roads

ARGUMENTS
CONCLUDED
In Contest Between Fac
tions of the Christian
Science Church
NO DECISION
BEFORE MARCH
Charles F. Choate, Jr.,
Made the Final Plea in
Boston

Boston, Dec. 1.-The future policy
of the Christian Science church lay
with the full bench of the supreme
court of Massachusetts to-day, Be
fore an audience that included persons
from England and other countries, the
court heard the last of the arguments
between factions within the church as
to the construction of deeds of trust
on which Mary Baker Eddy founded
the organization and its publishing ae.
tivities Except for the filing of briefs
it was declared the case was closed.
A decision is not expected before the
March sitting of the court.
The last word in argument was by
Charles r. Choate, jr., of this city, who
appeared as spokesman for Attorney
General j. Weston Allen. The attor-
ney general had turned over to him
the completion of his contention that
the deeds of trust executed by Mrs.
Eddy had created public charitable
trust of which he is the protector un-
der the state law. He also contended
that the board of directors was the
governing body of the church, and had
power to remove members of the board
of trustees which controls the Chris
tian Science Publishing society.
The court gave counsel opposed to
the stand of the attorney general un-
til next Monday TO file briefs.

which was founded in this city last
spring, met yesterday at the College Of
Agriculture This committee was APP
pointed to meet with President Bailey,
Dean Hills and Professor Ellenberger
and discuss the possibility of the State
College Of Agriculture establishing
courses which would afford practical
training for work in the commercial
milk plants of the state
At the present time these plants
handle over S30.0O0,0 900 worth Of milk
every year. which apFro&mates in
round numbers over 1000, 100000
pounds. IL is very difficult to secure
men trained TO this work. II was
proposed that the state college should
establish a plant for this purpose At
the meeting, however. il was pointed
out that the state at the present time
does not appropriate any money for
the dairy department of the college In
order to get such a plant going and
especially on a large enough scale to
give practical training. il would be nee
essary that the state give liberal tinan-
cial support.
The committee will look further into
the matter and find out if possible what
kind of a plant is needed and also how
much such a plant would cost Other
methods Of caring for the problem viii
also be studied, with view tot pro-
posing them at one of the future meet
ings of the federation. The committee
