MAYOR PETTEWAY EXPLAINS PURPOSE
AND NECESSITY OF The BOND ISSUE
To the Peonle Of Lakeland:

To the People of Lakeland:

proposed bond issue for which an
election is being called by the city
commissioners and the necessity for
same as seen by the board of city
commissioners.

This Indebtedness represents cOnsid-
cradle items owed by the City of
Lakeland to many of the merchants,
business houses. and citizens of the
City of Lakeland for work and sup
plies. 1t also includes considerable
past due salaries of city employees
and all of it is past due and must be
paid and it is of course debt Of the
City of Lakeland which has to he
paid by the taxpayers. | am informed
by the auditor that a great deal of
this Indebtedness has been accumu-
hating gradually for several Gears dur
ing the period of vast public improve
ments and city growth.
However, irrespective of causes and
reasons for the existence of the pres
ent financial condition of the city, the
fact is that it owes this money. whicn

city has no funds with which to pay

that takin ginto consideration our city

the sum of 100000 for the purpose
of taking up this indebtedness and
getting ii out of the way so that it
can be paid gradually and 50 that the
city can go on sound financial basis.
This was the only solution that the
bankers and myself could see and the
matter was then taken up by the city

available and We therefore passed an

WAS UNINJURED IN FALL
Paul Heinz, Jr., Fell From
Bundle Carrier Shaft on Third
Floor to Basement at Palace
Clothing Company.

A fall down a bundle carrier shaft
from the third floor to the basement
at the Palace Clothing company Sat
urday afternoon failed to even upset
the composure of Paul Heinz, Jr., s.
year-old son of Paul H. Heinz, judge
of the court of Topeka. Lighting on a
pile of waste paper at the bottom of
the shaft, little Paul looked upward
and remarked Indignantly:
-.Say! They ought to have floor in
that darned placei"
Mrs. Heinz was shopping on the
third floor when little Paul, playing
around the shaft, the door of which
had been left open, accidentally
stepped into it. He fell feet first, and
the only injury he sustained was u
scratch on the little finger of his right
hand. 1t is believed the narrowness of
the shaft served to check his fall ana
the waste paper at the bottom, of
course, made a soft place for him to
light upon.
However, his father and mother
suffered a goodly measure of mental
agony until they were sure the lad
was not injured.

Widman, Il could not doubt anything
good I read or head about it. Before
L took this medicine I had SO little
energy that dreaded to see day come,
for 1 just dragged myself thru my
work, so to speak. 1 fairly ached
from tiredness and got up mornings
feeling just as WORKOUT as when re-
tired al night. Some days 1 could not
eat, and being right down sick couldn't
be much worse than this miserable,
rundown feeling suffered from.
by the help of Tanlac I have over
come that condition and am feeling
just the way I like to feel. My appe-
tite never fails me. my sleep is sound
and restful, and am just as full of
energy as was listless and tired be-
fore taking Tanlac. The good Tanlac
has done me is also very noticeable in
my improved complexion as we'll as in
the ease with which do my work.
Tanlac also made a different person
of my mo.her after she had been i'll

and I think such a medicine is de-
serving of the highest praise
Tanlac is sold by all good druggists.
