HINES DENIES THAT THE RAILROADS
SUFFERED In HANDS OF GOVERNMENT
Says They Were Turned Back In Fully AS Good Condition As When
Taken 0ver-Refutes Previous Statements

Washington, JAN 24.-Assertions
that the railroads were turned back
to their owners after the period of
government control in a broken
down" condition were refuted today
by Walker D. Hines, in statement
before the Interstate Commerce COM
mittee in which the former director
general of railroads said he believed
the government had substantially
maintained the equipment" of the
roads. Mr.. Hines told the committee
as witness in it's general railroad in
quiry that representatives at the end
of the federal control showed locomo-
tives to "be in distinctly better con-
dition" than at the beginning and the
condition of freight cars ito compare
favorably" with that time. 1t must be
remembered, he added, that both gen
orally were in exceedingly poor con-
dition" at the beginning of federal OPP
Grafton. There could be no better
proof of the conditions of the roads
when turned back, the former director
general said, than the present volume

MATERIAL Is BEING
COLLECTED COUNTY
EXHIBIT TAMPA FAIR

William Gcmme, county agent, and
George w. Peterkin, agent for the
Polk county exhibit of the South Flor
ida fair, are making their last round
in the interest of the exhibit, as the
fair begins February g.
Although Polk county was first last
year with her citrus display, we failed
to secure the prize for the best gen.
eral display. and this is matter that
is being held in mind this year, for
Mr.. CONNIE and Mr.. Peterkin both
feel that Lakeland can win this prize,
also. by giving little more attention
TO securing variety in the display of
farm products.
Those who have material for the
exhibit are asked to leave it in charge
of Paul Collins, of the Growers Sup
ply Company, near the Lakeland Man
ufacturing Company's plant, not later
than Monday for the truck will leave
Tuesday with the last load. If anyone
is unable to bring in his material, he
Is asked to notify the Chamber of
Commerce and arrangements will be
made to secure it.
The exhibit will be in charge of Mr.
CONNIE, Mr.. Peterkin, Miss Cooley,
ard Mr.. Reifenberg.
Prospects are said to be excellent
for a splendid display.

of business which they began to han
die in four months of that time in
1920, without, he asserted, any
marked improvement in the condition
of their rolling stock.
Mr.. Hines said the railroad admin
istration had substantially over
maintained" rolling equipment, gem
orally, because it wanted the main
tenance put on equipment which it
could Immediately use. He contradict
ed a statement which lie said had
been made before the committee by
Daniel WiIli1r, president Of the Balti
more and Ohio railroad. that the adj
ministration had ordered a change in
the car repairs standards, asserting
that the tests of inspection under fed
eral control were probably more
strict" than prior to it.
Quoting from the reports of region
al directors for 1918 and 1919, Mr.
Hines said these showed a "vigilant
and efficient performance of the pub
lie service, handling the business
under particularly difficult conditions"

METROPOLITAN
ADDSLAKELAND
TOLOAN LIST
Big Life Insurance Company Has
Appointed Central State Bank
To Be Fiscal Agent

The Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company of New York City has decid-
cd that Lakeland is now of sufficient
size and importance to warrant the
investment of q portion Of their sur
plus funds in Lakeland real estate.
Following a recent visit to New
York by President A. F. Pickard, of
the Central State Bank, when he in
terviewed the officers of this COM
pany, comes a telegram to the Cen
trail State from the Adair Realty ami
Trust Company of Atlanta, who han
die southern loans for the Metropoli-
tan Life Insurance, to the effect that
the Central State has been appointed
official agents for Lakeland.
This announcement follows closely
on another made in the Sunday Tampa
Tribune that the Citizens American
Bank of Tampa was named as Tampa
agent for the Metropolitan.
When interviewed by the Evening
Telegram, President Pickard and Vice
President Charles l. Dwiggins init
mated that this very important bank
ing connection would mean the plac-
ing of large amount of additional
money in Lakeland real estate. 1t
may mean as much as million dol
lars within the next two or three
;ears. Definite plans will be an
nounced Immediately for the terms
and arrangements by which this
money will be available for those who
desire to erect their own homes in
this city.
No announcement of more impor-
Xance to Lakeland has been made in
recent years. The coming of the Me-
Life money is a recogni-
lion of Lakeland's real importance as
4 growing community and in addition
will make available funds that will
provide for a future growth and ex-
pansion that will far exceed the rec
ord of the years that are gone.

BILL WOULD END
DISPUTE BETWEEN
TWO BANK CLASSES
Federal Reserve and Country
Banks At Issue Over Exchange
Charges On Checks

Washington, Jan. 24.-Chairman
McFadden of the house banking and
currency commission today introduced
a bill which he declared was designed
to dispose of the fight between coun-
try banks and the federal reserve
banks pertaining to par collection of
checks"
The measure provides that a bank
not a member of the federal system
may elect whether it will make an
exchange charge when renting for
checks drawn upon it, but if the bank
decides to do so it will be required
to pay similar charge for the service
rendered by the federal reserve banks
in the collection of such checks.
Non-member banks which are not
RENTING or paying to the federal re-
serve banks at par, are obtaining the
full benefit of the federal reserve
chock-clearing facilities, Mr.. McFad-
den said. by sending checks deposited
with them to correspond with member
banks which in turn clear the checks
at par through the federal reserve
banks.
