TAMIAMI TRAIL RECOGNIZED
AS A STATE HIGHWAY
Result Of Contest Made Before the State Highway Commission
By Committees From Sarasota and Puna Gorda = Sur
vey By State Engineer Sarasota Punta Corda
Section to be Made to Determine Route

A telegram from the Commercial
Club committee, filed in Tallahassee
Tuesday night, and received by Edi-
tor Garrett yesterday morning,
brought the gratifying news that the
committee had won the contest be-
fore the State Highway Commission
for the recognition Of the Tamami
Trail as a State highway and, as such
is entitled to State aid.
More particularly stared, Road
Number Five, from Sarasota to Punta
Gorda, has been officially designated
as a state road, placed on the map
and will be given State aid. Thus,
thanks to the live men of Sarasota
and Punta Gorda, the threatened di-
version of this great highway from
the original route has been averted:
and not only this, but the construc-
ton of the road is now assured.
Meantime, work is progressing as
rapidly as possible at various points
along the route.
. Since the above was in type, we
have received the following copy of
the resolution adopted by the State
Highway Commission:
The Punta Gorda herald. [volume] (Punta Gorda, Fla.) 1893-1958, 1922-06-02

No. 5 from the first available funds
of the department upon condition
that Charlotte county bond for $3.50
600 TO apply to said road, what
should be done with this proposition?
Under the recent act of congress,
which greatly simplifies the process
of securing Federal aid the $50, 900
placed under control of the State
RoaC Department with which to
match an equal amount of Federal
funds, will enable the department,
with the approval of the secretary of
agriculture, to proceed to contract
for roads, the estimated cost of which
amount to 100000, which amount
ought to build about 20 miles of road
that will meet Federal specifications.
By the time the first project is
complete and possibly before that
time, the $4,000 State approprfa
ton will be available with which to
match another $4,000 of Federal
aid and enable the department to con-
tract for roads estimated to cost
100000. This should build about
seven miles Of road to comply with
Federal Specifications and complete !
the road through Charlotte county.

A TVVICE-TOLD TALE
One of Interest to Herald Readers.

Good news bears repeating, and
when it is confirmed after a long
lapse of time, even if we hestitated to
believe it at first hearing, we feel Sc
cure in accepting its truth now. The
following experience of a Punta Cor
da woman is confirmed after four
years.
Mrs. j. T. Griggs, grocer, Marion

attack of kidney complaint. l had

STATE. aid HIGH WAY
Committee Will Go to Tallahassee
and Ask State Road Department
for Aid on Tamiami Trail

Following the story published last
week to the effect that certain per-
sons would make an attempt to divert
the route of the Tamiami Trail to the
Wilderness way, this matter was TAX
en- up by the Commercial Club and a
committee, composed of Messrs. Gar
rett, z. Hewitt and Seward, was APP
pointed to go into the matter and
organize to fight any attempt at
changing the route, the methods to
tees hands.
Previous TO the meeting of the
club, member of the committee had
communicated with interested part
les at Sarasota. This correspond
ence resulted in Messrs. futile and
Landers, of Sarasota, coming to Pun
Ia Gorda to confer with the local
committee as to the best course to
pursue. Monday morning, the above
named gentlemen met with the local
committee and a number of repre-
sentative citizens and discussed mat
ters at length.
1t was decided tina tbefOre any
other action was taken that a COM
mittee be sent to Tallahassee to ap-
pear before the State Road Depart
ment, which will meet at the capital
on September seventh, to present the
claims of this section to state aid for
the Tamiami Trail. 1t is thought
that by presenting the facts in the
case the State Road Department will
be inclined to designate the Tamiami
Trail as a state-aid road which
would leave those who would change
its route without any valid argument
in favor of changing it.
Messrs. f. NJ Cooper and z. C.
Hewitt We're chosen to represent this
section before the board They will
be accompanied to Tallahassee by
committee of four who will represent
Sarasota.
1t was learned from Messrs. futile
and Landers that Sarasota and Punta
Gorda are one in their attitude to-
ward a member of the State Road
Department and the department.
past policy in apportioning road
funds, and it was decided that if the
department refuses to recognize the
rights of the two places after having
the facts laid before it, further action
of a more dractic nature would be
resorted to.

State Road No. 5

Editor Herald: Can we build State
Road No. to meet Federal specifica-
tions?
This question is one of the main
issues of this election.
To go into the matter briefly, so
that the voter can intelligently un-
derstand the conditions that confront
us in this matter, we will go back to
the time when n c. Hewitt and Capt.
! w. H Johnson went before the state
board at Tallahassee at its meeting
on September seventh, 1920, and had
the road designated as a STATE
ROAD from SARASOTA to Punta
Gorda. (The Hon. F. VI. Cooper was
appointed to go to this meeting as
one of the delegates but because of
ndisposition at the time Mr.. John
son went in his place) Since then,
through the efforts of various organ
izations along its route, this road has
been extended to Fort Myers, and it
has been designated as a primary in
ter-stato Federal highway and as
such entitled to Federal aid
At the last meeting. through the
efforts of W. w. Clark. our state
highway commiss. Oner. Charlotte
county WIS given the services of an
engineer and $4,000. This much |
has cost rs only the expense and eff
forts of a few delegate.
Now, to derive any benefit from ,
the above we must bond to do our |
share of this work. This we are |
pledged to do, and upon our action !
in regard to the proposed bond issue /
absolutely depends the action of the /
State and Federal governments. In
other words, if we don't bond, we
don't get aid from them.
According to calculations made by |
Mr.. w M. Written, a summary Of
which is given below, We can com
pete this road. He bases his calcu- |
latOns, on a road costing $4,000 a ,
estimate being, apparent |
", high. end shows clearly what can
be done with a bond issue of $780, |
900 and the $4,000 the State Road |.
Department has given us By the |
time we are ready to use the money
we are to get from the State and Fed |
eral governments, it will be avail |
able But at all times we must keep !
in mind that any money spent on this |
road by us must be given to the |
State Road Department to be- spent |
under the supervision of State and |
Federal engineers. In no other way |
can we get the aid promised us. All |
money spent by our commissioners in
trying to buil6 his road, in any other |
way than state I, would in the end |
be wasted and would give us only q |
temporary road; therefore if you will
study the figures given below care
fully, you will see that it will only
take a determined and intelligent eff
fort ON our part to get this important
road built in such way that it will
never again cost us a cent.
