The Ocala Star thinks we are in
doubt. Well, we are to a certain ex-
tent and We'll ask the Star to remove
that doubt by answering these ques-
tions: Why does the state road de-
partment employ men as road engi-
neers who don't know the difference
between soft, mushy, loblolly clay and
clay that will hold UP under all kinds
of weather conditions. And, has the
road department put these engineers
thru an examination or do they get
their jobs thru political influence !?
We have come to this conclusion:
First of all, the state road department
has been given too much power and
it is hoped the next legislature will

Former Bisbee Man
Hailed as Hero in
Near Gas Tragedy

According TO word received by Mrs.
A. Kindred from her son, George,
who is manager of the Southern
Counties Gas Company at Oxnard
Calf, he and four fellow employees
had a narrow escape from being
overcome by gas few days ago.
George, who was reared in Bisbee,
with other employees of the com
pany went into manhole to re-
pair a leak. They were overcome
by gas from an open plug and had
to be pulled out by other employees.
According to the OXnard paper Kin
dred proved himself a hero yb aid
ing in the rescue of his companions
after he had been overcome and re.
vived so that he could direct the
work of cutting off the gas supply
