ROAD PAVING NOW
BEING SPEEDED UP
Nunez Ferry Highway Paving
Already Completed To Point
Beyond Jewish Cemetery.

Work on the paving of the Nunez ferry
road from the city limits to the crossin 8
of the NJ. S. 3. & P. railroad at West
Pensacola, which was delayed for several
weeks during the car shortage caused
by the recent nationwide railroad strike,
is now progressing very satisfactorily and
the paving has been laid to point more
than block beyond the Jewish cemetery.
With return to a normal car supply
so that construction materials may be
secured without a hitch, this stretch Of
two and a fraction miles of highway will
be completed with but little delay, as the
equipment which Contractor Gerkens has
on the Job is capable Of laying several
hundred feet of paving each ten-hour
day.
Mr.. Gerkens is now on one Of his per-
iodical visits to Mississippi. in which state
at several points, he is executing extern
sive highway construction contracts.

TAX AMENDMENT IS
URGED BY WORKMAN
TO SAVE SCHOOLS
Says 1t Is One of Best Pieces
OF Proposed School Legisla-
ton To Be Brought Up.

How do you stand on the proposed
constitutional amendment making 1t
possible for a special schol tax district
to levy maximum tax Of ten mills,
Journal reporter inquired of Prof. J.
Fl. Workman. principal of the high school.
yesterday.
'T am heartily in favor of it," he re-
piled, adding that he considered ii one
OF the best pieces of proposed school
legislation brought up in some time
Prof. Workman, although he admitted it
more or less a selfish tax, the proceeds
being spent entirely within the district
which voted it, was of the opinion that 1t
would be the salvation of many of the
states pubic schools. If approved.
Under tho present law fourteen mills
is the highest possible tax that can he
levied for schol purposes. That includes
the one mill state tax, which is general
the 10 mill county levy and the three
mill special tax that any district may levy
providing a majority of the qualified
electors Of the district who pay tax
on real or personal property shall vote
in favor of such q levy.
Three mills is the maximum millage
that can be levied for special school
purposes under the present law, but the
proposed amendment to be voted on at
the general election along with three
others would make it possible for the
electors in any district to vote as high
as ten mills for special school purposes
in that particular district.
Text Of Amendment
The following amendment to Section
10 of Article XII Of the constitution Of
the State of Florida, relating to educa-
ton. is the ono that will be presented
to the voters of Florida for approval or
rejection at the general election in
November:
Section 10. The legislature may pro-
vide for the division of any county or
counties into convenient school districts
and for the election biennialy Of three
school trustees. who shall hold their office
for two years, and who shall have the
supervision of all the schools within the
district; and for the levy!ng and collec-
ton of district school tax, for the
exclusive use of public free schools within
the district. whenever a majority of the
qualified electors thereof that pay tax
on real or personal property shall vote
in favor of such levy; provided, that
any tax authorized by this section shall
not exceed ten mills on the dollar in any
one year on the taxable property Of the
district

LAUNDRY WORK
FOR COMMUNITY
Establishing One in Country
Relieves Farmers Wires of
Much of Their Drudgery

1t is hard to imagine what would be
the effect on dairy farming if every
creamery should suddenly cease oper-
ations. Certainly one OF the results
would be rapid and serious reduction
i'll the number of dairy cattle on our
farmA
The day when every farmer churncd
all his cream is past We have found
it much more economical and profitable
to operate a cream separator instead of
a churn and sell our cream to the neigh
boring creamery. To go back to the old
method would be decidedly inconven-
lent 1t would be decidedly expensive.
1t would entirely demoralize all our
present and efficient methods of con
Quoting dairy farms. 1t would make ths
successful operation of large dairy
farm impossible unless we were willing
to build and operate our own creamery
at an expense which would prove too
heavy for many of us.
A community laundry is almost as es
scntial as community creamery.
Why should s'Blue Monday have n

PEELED to suffer all the hardships and
inconveniences of doing the family
washing? A community laundry can
do it better than she can do it. If we
take into account her time and the
danger to her health, a community laun-
dry can do it cheaper.
a community laundry is as practical
as community creamery. For years
such a laundry has been in successful
operation at Chatfield, Minnesota.
An addition was built to the creamery
at Chatficld and a community laundry
association organized with capital
stock of $4,000. The stock sold at So
a share. The equipment cost $4,000.
The only additional help needed was a
superintendent, foreman, five or six
girls and deliveryman.
Farmers wives send in their family
washings along with their cream. 1t Is
returned along with the empty cream
cans. Town work is collected and dc
livered in the usual way.
Farmers have their family washing
done for six cents a pound Town peo-
pie pay 10 per cent more for delivery.
About zoo families patronize the laun;
dry each month. Fully half are farmers.
The average cost of each family wash
ing is $1.37.
The plan has worked most success
fully. 1t has made house work lighter
for the farmer s wife. 1t has made
farm life more pleasant. 1t has done
much to keep girls on the farm.
What the Chatfield community has
done, other communities can do.
