The housing situation, which is a
frequent affection of the large cities,
seems to have reached Lakeland in
its epidemic spread, and much discus.
sion is going on here as to causes and
remedies.
The high cost of lumber and labor
is the reason generally advanced for
the shortage Of houses throughout the
country. As regards Florida in gen.
eral, and Lakeland in particular, we
must also take into consideration the
large number Of new citizens. "Peo.
pie are going to other towns because
we can not find homes for them here, .
says G. G. Rogan.
1--WE could fill fifty houses inside a
week il we had the houses" says Mr..
Holworthy Of the Chamber of Com
merce.
The estimate Of houses needed at
the present time varies from fifty to
one hundred. There seems to be no
doubt that the demand is not being
met, and we may expect the demand
to increase with the approach Of the
tourist season. The scarcity of
houses produces a scarcity Of rooms,
for many families are occupying
rooms who would prefer to own or
rent houses.
There is a good deal of building
and remodelling going on" says E.
L. Cordery," but Lakeland needs new
houses"
H. l.. Snooks is Of the opinion that
two fine, large apartment houses In
addition to those we have, are very
much needed. Something for those
who are willing to pay a reasonable
price for what they want" he says
1T doesn't pay to cater to the cheap
class of tourists. The towns that cat
er to a good class of tourists are get.
ting a good class of tourists"
M. G. Waring is Of the opinion that
in addition to making the necessary
provision for the spending class, we
should also consider the needs of
those who wish to enjoy our climate
with as little expense as possible.

SECRETARY PAYNE
FAVORS RELEASE OF
ALASKA RESOURCES
(By Associated Press.)

Minneapolis, Mimi. Aug. IT,
John Barton Payne, secretary OF the
interior, who passed through here
with Secretary Daniels upon their re-
turn from Alaska, will urge speedisg
UP development of Alaska's re-
sources.
Some Of my predecessors" Sec
retary Payne said, seemed to think
that mine or a tree were things to
be locked. up and preserved. But
Alaska is not to be developed by lock-
ing 1t up. A strict conservation pol
icy cannot be applied to new coun
try scantily settled which must in
crease its population by using its re-
sources. I believe that for a time the
wealth Of the territory should be used
without stint for the benefit OF hu-
manity."
Mr.. Payne declared legislation Is
needed to provide easier access to
Alaska. Transportation, both for
freight and passengers, must be
cheaper and provision made to han
die traffic during the rushing summer
season.

thus actually bringing in more money

Mr.. Holworthy believes that the diff.
fculty and the delay in securing both
material and men is the reason that

demand, a statement that is borne
out by Contractor Wilson's remark

TOBACCO MEN TO
DECIDE UPON PLAN
TO REDUCE OUTPUT
(By Associated Press.)

Lexington, Ky, Aug. II Dele
gates representing hurley tobacco
growers of three states will meet In
Lexington, Wednesday, Aug. IS, to
decide whether $4,000 hurley growers,
producing an average of 3000000O0
pounds of tobacco annually will cut
out the crop in 1921.
Delegates to this meeting will be
celected at county conventions to. be
held throughout the hurley district of
Kentucky and in the hurley producing
sections of Ohio and Indiana.
At meeting of the leading hurley
growers held in Lexington, Aug. 5,
500 farmers from 2S Kentucky, Ohio,
and Indiana counties went on record
as unanimously in favor of cutting
out the crop next year. This action
was not taken as final, however, due
TO the fact that many hurley raising
counties were not represented In the
convention, and the second conven-
ton was called in order that all
growers of the three states might
have chance to act on the question.
General opinion of Kentucky farm
ers is that crop cutout in 1921 not
only would give the manufacturers 8
chance to dispose of their excess OF
low grade weed, but would also put
the tobacco land in much better con-
dition for future crops of hurley.
Most of the opposition to the cut
out is expected to come from the
Bluegrass section, of which Lexing-
ton is the center where much high
grade hurley IS raised.
