To the Patrons of the 0cala Post

ly asks your cooperation, for your
benefit and convenience as well as
ours. No one likes for others to re-
ceive and open their private mail.
This can be avoided by never failing
TO put your street and number on the
letters you send out. II you move
from one street to another, or out on
a rural route. come to the postofice
and sign a card showing the change
and we will keep the directory
straight So easy for you to say, ''the
pOstofice force knows me and knows
where / reside" Yes, but there are
two persons in Ocala by the name Of
Mrs. Bertha Jones, two by the name
of C. S. Walton. two by the name Of
Thomas Johnson, two T. H. Williams,
two j. ]. Wilson, two CIV. White,
two Mrs. z. B. Green-each of these
reside on separate streets, some on
rural routes by the same name How
can we tell in which box to place
letter, or to which residence to send
a letter, or parcels post. If the street
number or box number. is not on the
letter or package? The letters and
parcels are liable to be delivered to
the wrong person of same name if

rural box number is not on the letter
or package directing rs.
The Christmas rush viii soon be

US unless you have done your part.
Please avoid sending out little un-
dersized envelopes and cards if you
expect rapid transit and delivery The
understood envelopes and cards can
not be cancelled on the electric can
ceiling machine and therefore are de-
layed by being cancelled by hand.
Again they are liable to be delayed in
transit as they can not be bundled and
tied with packages of standard size

In view Of the fact that the ap-

usual interest in city affairs, the
council feels that the citizens should
be advised as to some of the more
salient facts in regard to the city's
financial condition
Some misapprehension seems to
exist in regard to the light and wa

fore be called to the following figures.

I'm addition the city furnished free
lights and water to Marion County
Fair, Marion County Hospital and
several other public institutions. The
city also paid all of the expense of
the installation Of the white way
(other than standards) amounting to
s1756.76. also installed some fifty new
street lights and made numerous ex-
tensions and improvements, all from
the earnings of the plant.
The new turbine installed this year
has 40 far exceeded every guarantee.
Due to defective OIL pump one of the
thrust bearings burned out. Mr.. r.
IA. Burford JE., of Burford, Hall G.
Smith, at once on being notified of
TIE accident wired for new bearing
and came to 0cala personally. The
price of the new bearing was $120
and it required approximately ten
hours labor to install. Mr. Burford
has never made any charge to the city
for either his time or the new bear
ing. The engine was not injured in
any other way and since repaired has
operated as well as ever. In regard
tc the efficiency Of this new turbine it
| is hardly necessary to say anything
other than TO give the following
facts:
In the city plant is regular type
Skinner steam unit. This unit with
one boiler viii carry load of $50 K.
IW. H, while the turbine with one
boiler and identical fuel consumption
will carry load of $50 X. w. d.
i This turbine is the same make and
TYPE used by the United States in its
torpedo destroyers built during the
recent war. The efficiency, power and
lspeed of these boats was a matter oi
national pride. and of course largely
depended upon the efficiency of theiI
Iengines.
4 The boiler water softener recently
Installed is meeting all guarantees
