IN DANGER OF BREAKUP

not made inquiry of the Board of
Trade concerning housing facilities.
1t has not always been possible to put
the inquirers in touch with what they
wanted. The opening of 1921 has
found not a vacant house for rent in
Ccala, and rooms and suites of rooms
for light housekeeping are exceeding
ly scarce; with the result that winter
visitors are again leaving the city
because they cannot find teh accom-
modations they want, and it has not
been possible to answer inquiries by
mail in a satisfactory manner. There
is no doubt whatever of the fact that
Ocala can be filled each winter with
visitors if proper accommodations are
provided At present there are only
two vacant stores in our city, one only
recently vacated and the other a
small store on side street.
AS the result of steps taken by the
Board of Trade to meet the housing
shortage, the Citizens Investment Co.
was reorganized and this company
has been able to make some headway;
for one thing, having provided one of
the hotels with seventeen additional
rooms; although the company has
been handicapped by lack of finan-
|cial support. Two enterprising citi-
zens have started the building of
series of modern bungalows for sale.
A number of new apartments have
been provided. But there is still not
enough to meet the demand even for
those who would locate here perma-
nently. The high cost of building con-
struction has been a drawback here
as elsewhere. With the construction
costs now lower there should be con-
siderable building done. Rents are on
a better basis than they were.

this Ocala and Marion county have

Marion county has been featured and
is known as general farming section,

few farmers moving into Florida. The
vast majority of the new citizens in
Florida have come into the state for
winter pleasures and homes, citrus
fruits and early vegetables. The pub
licity that the city and county have

offering new and modern
homes of good architectural design
and modern landscape settings. In

PROGRESS BEING

the Reparations Problem
ASSOCIATED Press)

Paris, Jan. 28.-Progress toward
reaching a solution of the German
reparations problem is reported by
the expert committee appointed yes
terday by the supreme council.
The basis for discussion was the
Belgian proposal that Germany be
compelled to make an annual repara-
ton payment of six billion gold marks
as the maximum amount and three
billion marks as the minimum. The
plan would not fixe the number of an
nual payments but would leave this to
Dc determined later.
A supreme council session has been
called for late today, when it is hoped
the expert committee will be able to
present complete report.

Housing
In the spring of 1919 there were
many vacant stores and houses in
0cala During the latter part of 1919
the housing situation began to get
serious. Your secretary began calling
attention to the fact and then and
since has from time to time given
publicity to the fact. During the
tourist season of 1890 much assist
ance was given parties seeking rooms
and apartments and the height of the
season found the shortage of accom-
modations such that winter visitors
