A Big Improvement

One of the most noticeable improve
ments made in Punta Gorda recently
has been affected by the alterations
and additions to what is generally
known as "the inn" on Goldstein
street. The inn was purchased recent
ly by Chadwick brothers, who have it
completely remodeled and refinished,
and it now presents the appearance of
a modern apartment house. There
are thirty rooms in addition to a
large lobby and wide veranda, ex-
tending from the building to the side
walk, has been built. 1t is under
stood that the rooms will be rented
singly or en- suite and when all the
contemplated are made
this will be one of the most attrac-
tive rooming houses in the town.
Another recent and very noticeable
has been affected by
three coats of white paint applied to
the Masonic hall.

CITY VALUATION BOARD
NAMED BY COMMISSION
Whitten, Hagan and Fries Appoint
ed; viii Equalize. the City
Assessment

At an adjourned meeting of the
City Commission, January 18th. w.
M. Whitten, John Hagan and G. l..
Fries were appointed on the valua-
ton board in accordance with the
new city charter.
The duty of the valuation board is
to make diligent inquiry as to the
value of all real property" and sub
init in a written report its finding
to the city commission. The values
as reported by the board "shall be
the values at which the taxable land
and improvements in the city shall
be assessed" subject, of course to re-
view by the City Commission.
1t will be the duty of the valuation
board to determine the value of all
property in the city in relation to
other property. For instance, the
owner of one of the most valuable
and desirable residences on Marian
avenue pays s35 a year in taxes,
while two little shanties on small lots
in the rear of his property pay SIT.
1t is obvious that if the SIT tax on
the two shanties is not too high, then
the man paying $35 should pay much
more, but If SIT is too much tax on
the shanties, then s35 may be about
right for the fine house on Marian
avenue. 1t is such things as this the
valuation board must decide, but the
new charters provisions are such that
every property owner is given, and
must be given, every opportunity to
show that his assessment is too high
or too low, whichever the case may
be.
At meeting of the commission
Tuesday night the new license tax
law was passed on second reading.
1t will be passed on third and final
reading at the next meeting. The
new ordinance defining the fire zone
is published in this issue of the

CLUB STILL GROWING
Punta GOrda Tourist Club Now Has
1O4 Members

The Punta Gorda Tourist Club add
ed 10 new members to its list Tues
day evening. when one of the most
enjoyable meetings of the season was
held. Every seat in the hall was
taken and everyone seemed to be
glad they attended.
On account of the Woman's Civic
Association having an entertainment
next Tuesday evening, it was decided
that the next meeting of the club be
held Monday evening so that those
who so wish may attend the Civic
Associations entertainment, whic
the club has been assured will be
very enjoyable.
After the regular business meeting,
the entertainment committee took
charge and delighted everyone.
The glee club quattet sang "Old
Black Joe," which was enjoyed by
all.
Fourteen states are represented in
the clubs membership and as the
secretary called the name of state.
those from that state were asked Ito
rise and some one of that states del
egation make a short talk about their
state. This seemed to drag for Just
a few minutes, then nearly everyone
caught the spirit, and all were so
proud of their states it was hard to
find stopping place. Many splend .
talks, full of both information and
wit, were made and this feature prov
ed the "hit" of the evening.
No less enjoyed, however, were
several pieces played on a french
harp by Mr.. Sellars and the clog
dancing by Hugh c. Card, ST., aged
70, which would do credit to one in
the prime of life.
Two readings given by Mrs. Pep
per were delightful and in full keep
ing with the enthusiastic meeting
Mrs. Goldie announced that the
woman's needlework club would meet
Wednesday, and all ladies are invited
to attend.
