MAYOR BANS DANCING ON
STREETS, BUT LIFTS LID
Dances VIII Not be Allowed in Mar
ian Avenue But May be Held
in Taylor Street

Considerable discussion pro and
con was heard early this week when
it became Fnown that Mayor Carle-
ton had deCreed that dancing in the
streets would no longer be permitted
Recently the local band has been Civ
ing a dance in the street each Friday
evening, and these affairs have been
largely attended by the younger fry
and by people who came to watch the
dancing and hear the music. Mon
day Mayor Carleton gave notice that
dancing in the street would no long
er be permitted. Just what obiec-
lion there had been raised to the
street dances aside from the fact that
they made the use of the main street
rather inconvenient is not known,
but some say that there had been
objection based upon the presump-
'tion that dancing is improper.
Mayor Carleton indicated that his
chief objection was based upon the
ground that the dances hinderpd traf-
fiC and might be the cause of acCi-
dents.
At the meeting of the City Com
mission Tuesday night the matter
was brought up and caused consider
able discussion. City Commissioners
Seward and Jordan could see no
harm in the dances and Mayor-COm-
missioner Carleton expressed no dis
approval of dancing but did object
to the use of the main thoroughfap
for this purpose. City Manager
Price was inclined to think that to
stop the dances altogether would be
a mistake and a great discourage
ment TO the band and suggested that
danci1g be permitted in Taylor street
between Marian avenue and Retta
Esplanade and said that if lights
were necessary the town could install
them. This seemed to be an agree
able solution of the question, Mayor
Carleton agreeing TO permit dancing
there, where it will not interfere with [
traffic, so it was agreed that in fu- /
ture dancing in the street must be /

Up Grade and Dig Sixteen
Foot Ditch

According to the Fort Myers news
the short route road between Punta
Gorda and Fort Myers is to be start
ed in the next few days. Work will
start at the Caloosahatchee river and
will be pushed as rapidly as possible
to the Lee-Charlotte county line, a
distance of eight miles, The grade
will be completed within three and
"a half or four months, according to
Fl, C. Edwards, who has the contract
for the grading.
4 big dredge that has been in use
in the Iona drainage district of Lee
county will be moved across the riv-
er and as soon as it is in the proper
location, work will begin in earnest
The grade will be constructed with
a 16-foOt drainage ditch on one side
and an adequate ditch on the other
side. 1t is to be surfaced with local
rock and mari.
Reports from Lee county since the
visit of Mr.. Green to Fort Myers,
when he told the people there that
the State Road Department was going
to concentrate its efforts on State
Road Number Five as one of four
main projects, indicate that the two
factions that have been warning for
the past two or three years over
roads five and two have signed an
armistice and both are now working
in harmony for road five, although
an effort is still being made to Sc
cure the quick completion of road

DON'T BURN THE WOODS;
CAUSES A SERIOUS LOSS

Forest fires destroy in a few min
utes that which months, years and
decades grew, and that which to the
farmer is worth many carloads of
the very best fertilizers
Still there are many farmers and
fl lends of farmers who see no par
ticular harm in applying a match to
heavy growths of woods grass and
underground. Little do these per-
sons realize that this heavy growth
of grass and underground (if not
destroyed) will in the long run pro
vide cattle. sheep and other grazing
animals with more nutriment than
will the constantly burnt-over woods.
And little do they think of the ter
rible destruction of young trees, the
source of future lumber and naval
stores, when they apply the match.
Scientists and practical farmers tell
us that the one greatest need of Flor
ida soils is humus. Then it seems
nothing less than waste to destroy
this humus so often and SO needless
ly. Instead of destroying it, we
should make every effort to protect
and conserve it.
In consideration of the timber
phase of this question of burning
the woods" Professor w. L. Floyd,
of the Florida College of Agriculture,
says. The future of Florida's for
ests, especially her cut-over lands, is
They may be made to
produce continuously crops of timber
As the supply decreases and the de- |
mand increases, prices will soar, and |
therein is seen our duty to posterity |
to protect the future of our lumber |
industry. There is no better way of |
doing this than by refraining from |
burning the woods
"The only time burning the woods
is iustifabIe is when it is done to de-
stroy pests harbored in and protect
ed by the grass and under-brush.
The occasion for this, however, is the
exception rather than the rule, and ii
should be done under most careful i
control precautions"

February First

Something new and unusual in the
way of entertainment features has
been provided by the fair manage
ment for the opening day of the great
South Fair and Gasparilla Carnival
to be held on Feb. l to 10, 1928.
On Feb. l, the opening day, the Tam
pa battalion, 10th Field Artillery,
National Guard, is to be in charge.
The battalion is to present an ex-
hibition drill and artillery maneuvers
inside the big ring enclosure, and ar
rangements also are being made to
stage realistic sham battle, during
which many of the evolutions of field
artillery in action wili be illustrated.
The drill. sham battle, etc, will be
preceded by a parade of the entire
battalion through the down town sec
tion of Tampa. This will be the first
time that Tampans and visitors from
all over the State will have had an
opportunity to see the newly organi-
lied battalion in action, and the drill,
etc, is certain to prove as interesting
and instructive as it is thrilling.

ESTIMATED VAL UE BUILDING
FOR YEAR IS S1OO 100000
New Building Less Than for 1921
But Additions and Alterations
Probably More

The total value of building in Pun
ia Gorda for the year 1922 is con-
sewatively estimated 10 total in val
ne at least 100000, this amount in
cluding new building, repairs, alter
atoms and additions to old buildings.
New building was less in 1922 than
in 1921, but there was more repair
work. more alterations and additions.
New building for the year is esti-
mated to be worth a minimum of
1000. Included in this estimate
is buildings now under construction,
but no repair jobs or additions cost
ing less than $500 are included in
this estimate. Small additions, re-
pairs and alterations. it is estimated,
will bring the total value to 10000
or over. This takes no account of
building at Cleveland or anywhere
outside the Incorporation, VIII ere
there has been considerable amount
of construction.
Four new residences are now un-
der construction, one for w. w.
Knight, one for E. L. Enngren, one
for j. l.. Johnson, and one for J. Fl.
Howard. These are included in the
estimate. During the year residpn-
ces have been built for Mrs. Yeager,
two for the Messrs. Griggs, the Bap-
fist Minister and while il cannot no

CHANNEL PROJECT TURNED

Engineers Think Punta Gorda Ouobt

would not approve or recommend an
appropriation for improvement OF The
local port by dredging an extension
to the present channel. This was
after a favorable report had been
made by the district engineer and af
ter the town had accepted a plopo-
sit!on made by the government to aid
IN the proposed improvement.
Several reasons have been given
for their refusal to recommend an
appropriation. The latest one is ex-
plalned in the letter which follows
which was written to Senator Fletch-
er by the Board of Engineers and
copies sent to the Herald and others
mere who are interested in improve
ment of the towns port facilities.
Inc letter is dated December II and
is signed by G. X. Young. Major
Corps of Engineers.
our letter of the 9th intsant rel
ative to the proposed Improvement of
Charlotte Harbor, Fla. has been re-
ceived. The board will be, pleased
TO comply with your wishes by de-
laying final consideration of this mat
ter for reasonable time to afford
opportunity for gathering additional
data
Ihe letter of December 1st, from
the Punta Gorda Commercial Clrb
TO which you refer, is presumably the
same one which was sent to this{
once. In replying thereto we re-
duested the club for such additional
information as might be readily
available concerning the number.
draft and capacity of the vessels in
the line now running between Tampa
and Fort Myers, and any other perti-
nent information regarding the oper-
ations of this line.
The principal reasons for the nm
favorable view taken by the board
~S''"'hSu III the ora and dth
paragraphs of the notice of Noyam-
Der 3, 1922, which was sent to all
interested parties 1t is probable
mat you We're furnished with n copv
but for your convenience / am en-
closing another copy herewith. II
may be stated in addition that the
board gave consideration to the close
proximity to Punta Gorda of Fort
Myers, which already has a 12 foot
channel to its wharves. and which
serves much the same TERRITORY as
Punta Gorda; from which il might
be assumed that further expenditure
by the government Is hardly justified
on an additional port of the same
character so close to Fort Mvprs,4.
Any data bearing upon the above
points would be of value in reaching
conclusion, and will be given the
most careful consideration by the
Board"
