BANK STATEMENTS
SHOW increase IN
DEPOSITS Since Jan.
Community Well Of Financially Des-
pite Unparalleled Series of
MiSfOrtunes.

A few months ago the Herald pre-
sented 4 statement of the combined
deposits of the two local banks,
which showed that the community
prosperity has increased remarkably
during the past two years, and that
instead of being q poor town" as
some of its neigh bors refer to it, Pun
ia Gorda is really one of the most
prosperous towns of South Florida.
This statement showed that at the
beginning of 1918, or December 31st,
1917, the two banks had on deposit
total of $199,224.13; at the end Of
1918 the deposits had grown to
$27S,565.12, and on December 31st,
1919, they had grown to $405,563.-
40, an increase In two years of $780,
1896. On December 31st, 1919,
they held for every man, woman and
child, white and black, per capita de-
posts of $225, estimating the popula-
tion of the town and immediate sur
roundings at 1900.
In the face of the most unfavor-
able conditions that ever prevailed in
this section, deposits have steadily
grown since the first of January.
The fishing business has been very
poor this spring on account of stormy
weather and the towns income from
this source. which is a considerable
one, has been practically nil for the
OF he 20.
disaster overlook the truckers, with
the result that many of them were
heavy losers; some came out even
and some made a little money, but
as a whole the trucking business of
the section was bigger failure than
success In spite OF these misfor-
tunes, which have no parallel in the
towns history between the first of
January and May fourth, the com
bined deposits of the two banks in
creased to $462,173.63, or $57.61O.-
a in a period of four months, bring
ing the estimated per capita deposit
to about $256.75. If deposits con-
tinue to pile up at this rate for the
remaining eight months of the year,
and there is every reason to believe
they will. the poor people" of Punta
Gorda will have in the banks $575,-
393.91, or about 1920 each, which
will not be a fortune, but will show
that Purta Gordans know how to
make a little money and save it, and
added to the per capita investment in
liberty bonds and other securities
that cannot be counted as deposits,
will probably be equal to the per
capita wealth of any town of its size.
According to their statements, the
combined resources of the two banks
is now 1868, ,37O.48.

SENATOR SHOWN BAY
Fletcher Delighted and Impressed
With View of Harbor.

While here Saturday to address
the people. an invitation was extend
ed Senator Duncan U. Fletcher by c..
NJ. Carrier to return Sunday in
order to have an opportunity of see
ing a portion of Charlotte harbor
and the surrounding country and
sizing up the possibilities before this
section and judging of the merit of
its claim to recognition by the gov
ernment in the form Of apprOpria-
tions for river and harbOr improve
ment Senator Fletcher now has q
bill before congress asking for an ap-
preparation for survey of the har-
Dor and is vitally interested in its
passage.
Senator Fletcher returned on the
noon train and was taken to the
home of Mrs. M. A. Meadow for
lunch. About three o'clock the SEN
ator, accompanied by a party includ-
ing State Senator F. M. Cooper,
Mayor ]. N. Skies, Mr.. Carrier,
Messrs. DeLoach and Garrett and
Captain John Sands and Pilot Jack
McCann, who had been invited by
Mr.. Carrier, left on large boat for
a trip down the bay.
1t was evidently an unusual ex-
perience for the senator and one
which it could be seen he enjoyed
thoroughly. 1t was evident, too,
that he was surprised at the beauty
and expanse of the magnificent bay
that spread out before him after the
boat had proceeded to a point where
a fair view of the bay, stretching
away for 30 miles or more, could be
had. He was interested in obtaining
all the information possible relative
to the possible commerce that would
be handled on the bay in the future,
and this information was given him
by Senator Cooper. Before the re-
turn trip was begun the bay had be-
come quite rough and as the big boat
ploughed through the waves, now
and then a big wave would send d

DIFFICULT WORK ON
CHARLOTTE HARBOR
BRIDGE is FINISHED
Last Pile Was Driven Last Week
Expect TO Finish Structure
by December.

The last piling in the Charlotte
harbor bridge was driven last We'd
nesday and the pile driver that had
been here for several months on this
work left the same day for Tampa
The above announcement is a sig
nificant one, for it means that the
most difficult and slowest part Of the
work on the bridge has been finished
and that from now on those who go
out each Sunday to "see how things
are coming on" but who haven't
noticed much progress since work
was resumed, will be able to see
some results, for work on the super
structure will now progress at a
rapid rate.
Asked when he thought the bridge
would be finished, Mr.. King, the
engineer in charge under E. v,
Camp, replied that it depended to a
considerable extent upon the con-
tractors ability to get material and
upon the kind of weather that pre-
walls during the next few months. If
there Is no difficulty in getting mater
ial and if the weather is favorable,
he said, the bridge should be finish
ed in November or early December.
When complete the Charlotte har-
Dor bridge will be one of the finest in
the State of Florida and will stand
as a monument to the courage and
~ogressivene3s Of the people of Pun
ia Gorda, Charlotte Harbor and the
towns and settlements across the bay
for it will make 1t convenient for
them to come to Punta Gorda to do
their trading, whereas the people Of
all these settlements are almost COM
PEELED to 60 to Arcadia; t will bring
the people of this side and the other
side into a closer relationship as
neighbors and friends, which has not
been possible heretofore; and last
but not least it will make the con-
Meeting link in the Tamiami trail,
the distance to Tampa by
at least 40 miles
The roadway of the bridge and the
approaches both on this and the
Charlotte Harbor side will be paved
with asphalt, the paving on this
side connecting with Marian avenue.

Fletcher, and the audience voiced ap-
proval by applause.
The address was closed with an ap-
peal TO the voter to weigh carefully
all the circumstances, and to vote for
the man who is best suited to repre-
sent the State and Nation at Wash

DIVING DEEP
Proportional Representation and
Lobby Methods Discussed.

The Women'e Citizenship Glass
held its third weekly meeting in the
Tourist Club room Tuesday after
noon. One verse of America was
heartily sung by all present. Mrs.
Robinson read a report from the
French Union for Woman Suffrage.
The Chamber of Deputies voted full
suffrage rights to French women,
.325 to 88, but the enemies on the
Senate Suffrage Commission hinder
ed public discussion on the bill.
Since the war, the number of suf-
fragists in every class of society in
France has increased enormously
among men as well as among women.
The class leader read extracts
from a lecture concerning Fraud in
American Politics" by Prof. Merriam,
also conducted class work in proport-
ional representation. The value Of
the independent voter was favorably
considered by Mrs. Boyle. Discus
sion by the class followed.
Mrs Jordan read a report of lobby
methods in New York state, intended
to hinder the passage of workmen's
compensation laws; also a report of
the so called League for American
ism" in that state which name is but
cover for propaganda against COM
pensation laws and kindred legisla-
tion.
Mrs. Vernon Jordan presented the
following opinion from Massa-
chuetts man concerning the subject
of suffrage legislation by the demo-
Gratis and republicans. Both part
les have had to be forgiven seventy
times seven for neglect and contempt
not till, by enormous toll and
sacrifice by women. it became ex-
pedient to endorse suffrage. did

The class will meet in the Tourist
Club room on May 25th at $3.50.

Moore Haven Men Here.

Messrs. Andrew Carter, fire mar
shal of the everglades, and ]. B.
Mcdonald secretary of the Moore
Haven Commercial Club, were visit
ors to Punta Gorda last Friday and
attended the meeting of the Punta
Gorda Commercial Club. This was
Mr.. McDonald's first visit to Punta
GHrda and he expressed himself as
surprised to find such a live town.
He made very interesting talk be-
fore the Commercial Club and told
of the wonders of the muck country.
When he began to talk it seemed
that he was going to deliver a lee
ture boosting his town with no other
point to make than to prove that it
is the most wonderful place on earth.
but as he proceeded it was seen that
he was only leading up to the SUBJ
ject of county division, and before
he had finished he had knocked
down, torn up and pulverized the
argument that div
ision would be a bad thing for the
people because they could not take
care of themselves. Mr.. Carter also
made a short talk. While no bust
ness was transacted at the meeting.

ones held and 1t Is to be regretted
