CRITICISMS OF THE
TOURIST AUTO CAMPS
Estate Board of Healthy

Estate Board of Healthy
Tourist auto camps are an nstltu-
tion in Florida. Whether these camps
are good or bad for the community
they are here and must be supervised.
During the winter season 192O-21
there were many faulty camps in the
state, the faults however were not so
much with the camps as with the lack
of supervision and management of
them by municipalities wherein they
were located. As result OF poor
municipal supervision many of the
camps were grossly criticised, con-
demned and subsequently abandoned.
In several cities ordinances were
adopted prohibiting any further mu-
nicipal camps.
What were the evils of the camps
last year? First, many towns adver-
tising camps and bidding for this
class of tourist made no provisions
for sanitary upkeep. The tourists
came and lived as best they could in
the. midst of inadequate facilities;
second, many of the campers were
winter laborers who went forth in the
respective communities bidding for
employment; and third, in several OF
the larger camps, commissaries We're
| established and food sold to campers
alta price cheaper than in the neigh
boring town. These conditions could
all have been regulated by the Local
authorities.
| Why should the citizens of a com
immunity criticise condition for which
lthey themselves are directly response
fble? 1t is true that many campers
Iwere careless, Indifferent toward!
property and rights yet the errors o.
a few should hardly be sufficient t.
condemn all when municipal regula
tions were wholly absent. A town o.
city should not bid for auto tourist
unlesst such town or city is willing T.
be responsible for the camp mainte
nance.
There were some excellent camp
in Florida last year. The camp at DE
, Land was model, also that in DeSot
Park of Tampa. In the latter cam
there were at all times about 100
campers under strict municipal super
vision and everything went well.
There are going to be some ba
lcamps this year for reasons state
above, but as fast as found thes
\ camps will be condemned by the Stat
Board of Health The State Board

A PROTEST AGAINST
BUREAUCRATIC MEDDLING

Whereas, under a recent ruling OF
the secretary of the treasury OF the
United States of America, the manu-
facture and sale of beer is permitted
within the territory of the federal
government; and, whereas, the people
of the United States by direct vote
and through their legal representa-
tives have declared against the manu-
fGcture and sale of all intoxicating
liquors when they, in due and legal
form, amended the federal constltu-
tion by adding the eighteenth amend
ment thereto; therefore be it resolved
by the Sunday school of the First
Methodist church of Ocala, Florida,
that we respectfully request our rep
resentatives in the United States Sen
e,.the Hon. Duncan u. Fletcher and
the Hon. Park Trammell, to use their
influence to have enacted the "anti-
beer" bill now on the calendar of the
United States Senate, thus giving the
American people the benefit of their
federal constitution which is being
nullified by executive department rul,
ings. Signed:

The marketing problem came up
again and again in the reports and
discussions, it being set forth en-
