The Daytona daily news. [volume] (Daytona, Fla.) 1903-1926, 1920-11-24

There is no denying that G. A. Ran
dali Of the East Coast State bapk Is
Jointly and vitality interested in the
welfare OF both Daytona Beach and
Seabreeze.
fou can put me down as beiax
most heartily in favor of complete
land harmonious ccrss aaticn-
without any strings. ~ willing
Ito make any reasonable concessions
liz order 10 accomplish it. said Mr..
Randall most emphaticaiir 10 a News
representative today Some Sea
breeze taxpayers. in opposing consol-
iuaiion, have argued thar il would re-
suit in raising their tax levy as well
as their valuation" he continued.
but ! am in favor OF agreeing upon
plan which would avoid any such
result In this county cur road im-
prosemeats are handled by districts
and one district man make an i'm
provement and increase its expenses
without affecting the others In
Greater New York. Brooklyn. Man
haitian. the Bronx or any one OF the
Other districts can go to any expense
IL may desire and Install any improve
menf the people of that particular 10
eality Wish. while the other districts
take no part In il nor are they called
upon 10 share In any he cost 1t
seems to me some 81 4 plan could
easily be carried o. re. Under a
CONSOLIDATION we could have two pre-
feincts and each precinct could vote
upon its improvements and expendi-
lures and the people OF the Seahreeze
precinct could retain their present
tax millage and property valuation
and the Daytona Beach side could
control it's finances and vet in gem
erai way they could be one city with
one set OF officers. one postofFice and
one rame | am perfectly willing
each locality snali fetain its own In
sdsyiduaIity 50 far as il does not inter-
fere with the general good or in any
material. manner retard the progress
OF the community as a whole.
AS for the name Of the CONSOLE
dated town" urges MIR Randall. such
. thing Is not worth fighting over I
am for consolidation and willing 70
accept most ans. name would be
willing 70 call il either Seabreeze or
Daytona Beach. or select a new name
altogether For instance. a name
like Florida Beach. or Nolusia
Beach. would suit me all right. and
there Is no other p0stofiiee in the
state OF like name ! have given this
lauextion considerable thought and
tried TO look AZ il from every angle
bnf am thoroughly convinced that
there are many good reasons wny
there should BE- consolidation and
none why there should not.
