SECRETARY OF THE A. A. A.
WILL DISCUSS GOOD ROADS
Many Ocaa People Expected TO be Present TO Hear Charles
0Connor al The Court House This Evening

It is expected that a large crowd
viii attend the meeting in the court
house this evening to hear Mr.. Charles
O'Connor, field secretary Of the Am
erican Automobile Association, tell
what the organization proposes do
ing for Florida in the matter of good
roads. Everyone who is interested
in good roads, and therefore in the
future of the state, is urged by the
Chamber of Commerce to attend to-
nights meeting.
The American Automobile Associa-
ton is the oldest and largest good
roads organization in the world, hav-
ing over eight hundred branches in
the counties from Maine to California,
and it has recently entered the south
eastern field. The A. A. A. has de-
eided to throw the entire strength,
financially and morally, of its organi-
zation in behind the construction of a
main trunk line highway from Chi
cago to Fort Myers and one from New
York to Miami. The first of these
win pass through Marion county and
Ocala. 1t is the plan of the A. A. A.
to have these two highways in good
passable condition by October of this
year.
More automobiles from the eastern
states visited one county in California
last season than came to the entire
state of Florida, although Florida is
two thousand miles nearer the center
of population of the United States.
Florida has better winter climate
than California and it is the purpose
Of the A. A. A. to put at least two
highways into Florida in good condi-
ton by next October so that next
winter the number of automobiles
coming into the state will be greatly
increased, thus affecting the saving of
several hundred dollars in the cost of
o trip from the eastern states. All
that Mr.. O'Connor asks at this time
In q hearing. A branch of the Amer
ican Automobile Association will not
be established in this county unless
the people of the county want it
Since January thirteen counties in
the state have enthusiastically adopt
ed the A. A. A. and arrangements
have been made for motor clubs in
every county along the two highways
with the exception of Marion county.

STREET PAVING WILL COMMENCE SOON
Council Has Passed The Necessary Ordinances and Advertising
For Bids viii Begin at Once

engineers. The bid of Mr.. Joseph E
Craig was the lower of the two and
as he had recommendations from re-
liable firms it was decided to have Mr..
Brumby engage him if he saw fit. Mr..
Brumby suggested renting a lot from
Mr.. George Martin and erecting q
cheap shed there to take care of our
street building equipment which is
now left in the weather. He was
given power to do this. Some one
had written Mr.. Brumby and requested
permission TO turn the roof water
into the city sewers. This request
was refused because the sewers are
not large enough to take care of sur
face water.
Mr.. Brumby reported that the city
had scraped many of the lime streets
with the new Fordson tractor but
that this work had been discontinued
because of the dry weather. He re-
ported test street that has been laid
with oil and various types of sand
covering. He has these sections chart
ed so that the city will be able to de-
termine which type of oil construction
lasts best.
In the sanitary department Mr..
Bl'umby reports good progress. The
city Is being cleaned up. He reported
that twenty-six loads of infiammable
trash were moved from the rear of
one of our public buildings
The ordinance providing for the re-
striction of white and colored passeng-
ers in cars for hire was indefinitely
postponed. 1t appears that none of
the council desired this ordinance
passed but it was introduced that the
other members of the council might
express their opinions on it.
