COUNTY DIVISION

Whom VIII County Division Hurt
We believe that every interest of
DeSoto county people would have
been better served and the country
at large been better off had the coun-
ty been divided several years ago.
Tie enormous growth and develop
ment of remote sections of the four
corners of the county in the past two
or four years makes division almost
imperative at this time.
Arcadia, Wauchula and Punta
Gorda have spent enough money on
these division fights to have built all
the court houses needed and meet
the extra taxes several times over.
All these sections are now able to
stand alone and go into business for
themselves. Why not divide the
county in a way that will settle the
matter for all time and be@done with
it? Who will be really hurt by coun-
ty division anyway?
Much stress is being placed upon
the mater of extra taxes necessary
to build new court houses. You did
mt hear anybody around Arcadia
worrying about the taxes when we
spent $4,000 on new court house.
The assessed valuation then was
little more than half what it is now
and we paid the bill without any ex-
ira increase in millage. We argued
then that the court house could be
built and we would never know the
