ROTES HEAR GOOD
ROADS MILLER ON
MOST VITAL NEED
Putnam Is Paying Tax
For Roads She
Hasn't Got
MUD AND SAND COSTS
Business Men Also Are
Earnest in Stressing
Needs of Roads

Hon. F. O. Miller, Florida's ardent
good road advocate, was the guest of
honor at yesterdays Rotary lun-
cheon and spoke on the general sub
ject of good roads in which he said
that Putnam, like many other coun-
ties in the state, is paying taxes on
roads that she hasn't got. He meant
that the lack of good roads in this
county is daily diverting trade and
new residents from Putnam.
Henry Mckenzie was in charge
of the program and before introduc-
ING Mr.. Miller called on other men,
bers for general preliminary dis
cussion of the road problems of the
county. But before introducing any
of the speakers Mr.. Mckenzie sub
mjtted some startling figures on
what it is costing Putnam county
every wear to keep up the present al
legged system of roads. "As we all
know" said Mr.. Mckenzie, 1.-THE pre-
sent system is purely political, and
many of us do not take the trouble
to 90 into the matter and see what
4 waste there is of the tax payers
monev." He submitted figures to
show that the general road fund Is
expended every year at an average
of $50, 900 and that at the end of the
wear the county is in no better shape
for roads than before the money was
spent This does not take into con-
eideration the amount that is spent
by the special districts.
Need Road Supervisor.
Ernest Rowton, former chairman
of the board of County Commission
ers said that while he was a member
of the board he tried to escape from
some of the political penalties OF the
office and have a road engineer ap-
poipted and put him in charge OF all
tbo roads of the county. He was
voted down, he said, because some OF
the members of the board seemed to
fear that he was trying to create a
;oh for somebody. He said that a
competent engineer to take charge OF
the roads could build them up even
under the present system and save
many times his salary
Jack Blake prefaced his remarks
with a story of an official OF the
Rr;ck Motor Co., who came to Put
nam county with an idea Of invest,
ing. but that after he had wrecked
car over some of the county's ROADS

those who might be inclined to pes
simism at times should look back
twenty-five years ago when one could
only get into Palatka by boat or train

the state, is constructing. This road,
he said will do the enetire state good,
as will every foot of road that is con-
structed in Putnam county. He urg-
ed the equipping of the county with
a system of good roads that might
give full play to its unlimited re-
sources.

one skipper who has been forced to
remain at anchor here for the past
eight days.
According to reports received from
