MANY COMMUNITIES
STUCK IN THE MUD
Rural Virginia Enduring a Blockade
Worse than the Oldest Inhabi-
tant Can Remember
ASSOCIATED Pressl

Richmond, Va, March s.-Reports
from rural sections of the central Vir-
ginia indicate many settlements are
virtually mud bound as a result of
the frequent rains and SHOWS since
early January. In some sections bus
iness is reported at a standstill and
the merchants are unable to reach the
railroad stations to obtain goods
shipped there, putting their custom
ers on short rations. In many coun-
ties physicians are said to be unable
to reach their patients, even on horse
back. State Prohibition Commissioner
Smith says that the country merch-
ants in the hills and mountains north
of the Southern Railway line between
Charlottesville and Washington are
unable to reach the stations and get
their freight. They have been COM
pelled to limit customers to FIVE
pounds of sugar and to correspond
ingly restrict sales of other merchan-
disc. Mud is knee deep throughout
the section. One physician said he
was advising his patients by tele-
phone, being unable to make personal
calls.

WANT To HELP THE
0. '. RAILROAD
Conference Between Ocala and Palat-
ka Business Men in This City
Tomorrow Night

Some of the business men of Palat-
ka have asked for a conference in
Ocala tomorrow night with the ship
pers of this city for the purpose of
discussing the shipment of freight
over the Oklawaha Valley railroad and
the Palatka boat line. The Oklawaha
Valley has reduced its rates on all
classes of freight from 25 to Is per
cent between Palatka and Ocala and
reverse, so that the combined rates
by the boat line and the o. v. now
equal the rates from Jacksonville to
Ocala over the Seaboard or the At
lantic Coast Line.
At the request of the Palatka bust
ness men the Marion County Cham
ber of Commerce has arranged for a
meeting of the shippers tomorrow
night at eight o'clock in the Chamber
of Commerce room. During the recent
hearing here in regard to the o. v.
the merchants of Ocala pledged them
selves to take all possible advantage
of the reduced rates that were prom
ised upon the resumption of traffic on
the Oklawaha Valley.

PAPER in which to publish the delin-
queht tax list. He said that the Star
published the list last year, so the
council selected the Ocala Banner to
publish this years list.
Under new business the names Of
H. S. Chambers and E F. Beale were
submitted to the council as applicants
for the position of fire chief When
a ballot was taken Mr.. Chambers was
declared elected.
Mr.. Goldman suggested an ordi-
nance which would allow any new
building in the city to go untaxed for
q period of five years in order to en-
courage building projects, pointing
out the fact that many cities had
adopted this plan. 1t was shown that
such an ordinance would conflict with
TIE charter and could not be passed
until the charter was amended.
DR.. Henry moved that the council
extend thanks to Mr. Elwood Ray
mond for the able service he has rem
dered the city in his capacity of chief
of the fire department. This motion
was passed.
A short discussion was held on the
rewly painted red streaks on the dunn
my, policemen. The council is trying
to find some way of making these
policemen visible in their own shad-
ows at night. They are now expert
menting with a red streak on the
concrete part for daylight visibility
and red streak on the light globe
as a warning at night.

istered at the rest room for the past

Under the head of bills Mr.. Gold
man moved the payment of all bills
when approved by the proper authori-
ties. Motion carried.
A bill from Mr.. S. H. Christian for
$500 for 100 feet drilled on the new
sewer disposal we'll was ordered paid
Under the head of officers reports
Mr.. Brumby made his report. The
first thing that Mr.. B1umby brought
up was the matter of fire truck. He
had been in communication either
orally or by letter with several COM
panes building fire trucks and gave
in brief the following report of the
results:
The Stutz Company wrote that it
did not care to talk at all on the terms
five years to pay) as outlined by the
city. The REQ Company offered a
A50-gallon per minute pumper that
was not received with much favorable
thought. The international had a
10O0-gallon pumper but it was
thought it's engine was too small to
operate it successfully. The White
Company wrote that it had ceased to
make fire truck.
Mr.. Brumby stated that he was in
Orlando and saw their fire equipment.
He said they had two bumpers, a hook
and ladder truck and beautiful
chemical engine with four chemical
tanks.
After listening to this report upon
the investigation made by Mr.. Brum-
by on fire trucks, Mr.. Pedrick moved
that the city buy an American La
France truck. The council appointed
Mr.. Pedrick and Mr.. Brunby as n
committee with power to buy the truck
as described below and asked that
they work in conjunction with Mr..
Hooker In drawing up the contract for
the purchase of this truck.
The truck to be purchased is an
American LaFrance triple compound
chemical. pumper and hose truck full
ly equipped. The truck has 105-hp.,
six-cylinder motor, centrifugal
pump with a capacity of 750 gallons
per minute, a 4o-gallon chemical tank,
ladders and all other fire fighting
equipment that usually goes with such
truck. It is equipped with pneu-
matte tires, 3S x front, 40 x rear.
This truck was demonstrated and sold
to the city by Mr.. H. Fl. Barnard. Mr..
Barnard made demonstration of this
truck to Mayor Peek and Councilman
Pedrick in Atlanta on their recent
visit. It will cost s12,750 and the
city will have six years in which to
pay for 1t.
Mr.. Brumby then talked for some
time upon the question of water mains
and street paving. He is opposed to
paving until such changes as are go
ing to be necessary in the water
mains are made. A long discussion
was held on the question Of grades
to be established Before the paving
program could be carried out. 1t was
agreed by all that this matter should
be in the hands of the city engineer.
Mr.. Brumby stated that he had not
yet been able to look over the pro-
posals of all applicants for the posi-
ito of city engineer but that he would
be ready to submit these proposals to
the council at an early date Friday
night, March 10th, was set as the date
for special meeting to consider these
proposals and elect an engineer.
