MUNICIPAL DOCK
A VALUABLE ASSET

If the people of this city will car
ry a bond issue for the purpose of
constructing a huge municipal dock
and warehouses On the riverfront the
action will be a step towards pro-
gress which will prove a perceptible
asset to the entire county. The plan
proposed last evening at the council
meeting was one which will appa-
rently work out well. It was well
received at the session-there being
no argument against it; and there is
little doubt that the same question
will be emphatically endorsed at the
polls when the vote is taken. It's
construction will be a big factor in
the matter of river transportation
and will have a tendency to force
down charges on such shipments
ssr,t continuing to be carried by rail.

TRADING ACCURACY

every detour spells progress" is
an expression which has been pub
lished in many Florida papers as a
sort of conciliatory sop to make the
comments regarding a most intoler-
able road less severe. 1t is most
incorrect expression as generally
used, although there are cases where
it may bear a tinge of truth, y
Progress is sure only where there
lis something being accomplished.
Many of the highways of Florida are
"a disgrace to the state and reflec-
ton to the residents of the county
where they are allowed to exist. De-
tours which have been made to allow
safe transportation for a brief time
are no ito be criticized-provided the
work shall be hurried on the main
line and an early completion made;
but there are many cases where con-
tractors are permitted to tear up
miles of fairly good road, thereby
necessitating extended detours, while
the new highway is being constructed
at snaiPs pace In such cases de
tours spell" not progress, but "out-
rage" q.
Among Florida's assets, of which
there are many, may be mentioned
good roads. Only those which have
been constructed within the past few
years may be styled good" because
prior to that time most of the road
work was but an experiment. Mil
lions of dollars have been frittered
away because those who planned
them did no tknow, those who con-
structed them did not know, those
who paid for them did not know, thai

Of local conditions-and because OF
the lack of information there were
long-standing detours which spelled
but progress. Instances of
this sort have been common on the
east coast-and there have been many,
cases where counties and cities have
suffered greatly because of poor road
conditions.
Gradually Florida is becoming the
best "roaded" state to be found. The
work which has been undertaken and
by the various counties,
where correct construction was in
sisted upon, have much over which to
boast; and that they do boast of such
things is assured. Once the state
road department shall succeed in

Death Was Result
Of Carelessness;
Blame Not Fixed

/ The inquest over the remains of
D. H. Martin, farmer, who was kill

held at the courtroom this morning,
and conducted by Thomas B. Dowda,
acting coroner, resulted in the fol-
lowing verdict:
That the death Of the said
D. H. Martin, while upon the
tracks of the Atlantic Coast
railway, was the result of care

to fix the blame.

for the case were the crew of work

TOLL-FREE BRIDGES
FINE PROPOSITIONS

Daytona is up against the same
proposition that many east coast cit
! les have to adjust; expensive bridges
to be used free of expense. Every
city and county in Florida having
such structures is besieged by those
who use it to discard the toll system
in order to add popularity to the To-
cality; never stopping to estimate
the heavy expenditures which must
ultimately be settled for the primary
construction.
In Daytona asbridge society once
took possession of the toll bridges
and ran them free for a time, so
great was the desire to have no ex-
pense attached to the crossing; but
later on the fallacy of that exempli-
fication of the right of eminent do
main was exploded. The people of
that section of the east coast realize
that the county or the district must
either buy the present structures or
build new ones, and one drawback to
the building is the fact that the war
department objects to navigable wa
tiers being crossed by bridges placed
near together.
If purchased by the public for pub
lie use the tolls will continue until
the cost of the outlay has been re-
turned, which, The Journal, of Day
tona, believes will be but a short
for quarter million dollars, bought
bridge and rebuilt it, and it is now
free for all; while the Flagler bridge
at the same point sells tickets as low
as one cent each. But all cities can
not enter into large deals so easily
as West Palm Beach. If Daytona
thinks, however, that the tolls will
"very quickly pay for the original
outlay in purchasing the bridge it
may meet with disappointment.
Putnam county and Palatka would
be exceedingly happy if the financial
obligation was being rapidly lifted
from the bridge spanning the St.
Johns so that it might be declared a
"free" bridge in the full sense of the
word; for the nominal expense of
two caretakers for the draw would
amount to but small sum that could
be easily financed. But there is a
continual outlay, for upkeep of the
structure which must be provided for
even though there is a continual
demand that lower rates shall be
granted. No business man will for
long conduct his establishment at a
loss, nor will he, when he finds that
he is sinking money in some venture,
so arrange his schedules that he will
lose a larger amount.
Possibly some forget the time
when cross-river traffic at Palatka
was entirely by boat, and that severe
rates were then the custom. They
may also forget that when the pres
ent bridge was built it was not a
question of tolls, but merely a ques-
ton of convenience. No figure with
in reason would have then been con-
sidered extortionate. But as the
years have passed and familiarity
has bred contempt" the demand has
been incessant that the tolls should
continue to be made the lower. Once
the bridge shall be paid for by its
receipts and there will be no objec-
tons, as in the case at Daytona, to
tabolishing all tolls; and meantime
the figures are being kept so low that
the debt threatens to long continue.
