100000 per mile. At the end of five
year period it will probably be neces-
sary to resurface the road placing
about one half the original amount or
$4,000 per mile per year. (This last
item will depend on whether or not
the traffic has increased.) The total
of the above for maintenance of
tar treated crushed stone road is
$166500 per mile per year.
Macadam is Cheapest
In comparing the above figures, it
must be remembered that we are as
Stunning that we should surface treat
only roads which carry over 500 cars
per day as roads carrying less num-
Der of cars than this can be maintain
ed for considerable less money by adj
ding crushed stone from time to time.
These maintenance costs may look
high to the average reader but when
you consider that there can be spent
the sum of $166500 per mile per year
on maintenance and the community is
getting a road that is perfectly salts
factory for $835.00 per mile per year
less than a concrete road, it is some
thing worth thinking about. The point
that 1 desire most to bring out is that
we can spend considerable amount
of money for maintenance, thereby de-
laying the building of concrete roads.
(There of course will be certain sec
tions of road that will require con-
crete pavement due to concentration
of traffic; but it can be seen from the
above figures that no money is saved
by placing a concrete road before the
travel warrants the expenditure.)
SO Miles Built
During the past five years 80 miles
of road have been built with federal
aid in the five counties and only five
miles of concrete paving has been
laid. Of this Al miles was concrete

Oh we will build no concrete paving
on our Federal Aid Projects, and on
tie county and state aid work there
will not be over one mile of concrete
placed in the five counties.

TAX|CAB OPERATOR
HELD FOR MURDER
IN ORLANDO KILLING

ORLANDO, Fla, March -
Frank Hurkner, 24-year-old taXicab
driver, was bound over to the grand
jury late Tuesday by Judge Charles
0. Andrews, under $4,000 bond, on
the charge of murder in the first de-
gree in connection with the death of
Mrs. Anna Macdonald
When the hearing reconVened in
the afternoon, the defendant took the
stand and testified that in con-
Versation with Mrs. Macdonald, she
said she was going to kill Perry
Joiner, an alleged liquor runner
here, and George Jump, detective on
the Orlando police force.
Mrs. Elizabeth Jenson,. star wit
ness, for the state, failed at the
morning session on the application
for writ of habeas corpus to identi-
fly Hurkner as the murderer of
Mrs. Macdonald, who was found
dead in her home week ago
ed apparently by Il blow from a
Ratchet. Hurkner was held by the
sheriff's office for four days without
charge, until an application for a
writ was petitioned Monday by at
of murder in the first degree WAS
entered at that time.
The story Hurkner told the police
is to the effect that he answered the
call to the Macdonald home, and
was invited in by Mrs. Macdonald.
He says he sat in the front room
with her for more than half an hour
drinking liquor. She then told him
to drive around the block and she
would meet him, us she did not want
to get into Il car in 'front.' of her
home, according to his story. He
drove around the block and then
heard the shots fired.
Until Monday night the police and
county officials working in conjunc-
ton were searching for man sup
posed to have been taken to the Mac
Donald home by Hurkner, and the
investigation WAS carried on late
Monday night under the direction OF
Il. +. MCGUIRE, prosecuting attorney
and w. +. Crawford, city attorney.

PRODUCTION
TOD HEAVY DESPITE
RAIL APPOINTMENT
BY j. C. ROYLE
Ueased Wire Service to The Journal.)
(IOnVrioht 1924

Copyright, 1924
NEW YORK, March 11.-EXpan-
sion of markets is the problem
which now is attracting the keen at
tension OF every fruit grower in the
south, particularly those CT Florida.
Production has grown until the
citrus fruit growers are having diff
ficuIty in disposing OF their products
at a satisfactory price in spite Of
the improvement this season in
transportaticr facilities.
There is no indication that produc-
ton in Florida will be curtailed. In
fact it can be counted on to in
crease steadily, growers say. The
annual automobile migration to
Florida has attrcated thousands OF
agriculturists from the middle west,
who have decided to devote them
selves to the cultivation Of oranges
and grapefruit on small acreage
rather than continue to face the un-
certainties of wheat farming on
large acreage with it's attendant ex-
penSe.
Perhaps the most striking develop
ment of the year in the expansion
Of markets for citrus fruit has been
the success attendant on the can
ming OF grapefruit. Three large COM
panies now are turning out. this
product, which is finding an eager
market. The fruit is peeled and the
inner skin between the divisions re-
moved with the seeds. The sections
are then packed in cars much after
the fashion of sliced pineapple.
When the can has been iced the
fruit is ready to be served.
Development of this new industry,
growers assert, will enable them to
withhold a very considerable portion
Of their grapefruit crops wien the
markets are fooled and will insure
further sterilization of prices
throughout the year.
Cooperative marketing asSocia-
tons have not as yet gained the
foothold in Florida that they have
in some other sections and many
growers are advocating their wide
spread formation.
To a lesser degree q similar situa-
ton faces producers Of other Florida
fruit and vegetables. It is a notable
fact, however, that southern prod
uce can now be obtained at retail
in this and other northern markets
at approximately the same prices
paid by consumers in Flor.Ca.
Markets for all southern products
of this character have been ma.
terially extended by the presence in
the south of northern commission
men. The latter, many Of them,
have seized on the dull winter sea-
son in their business to take vaca-
tiOns in the south. They quickly
saw opportunities to combine bust
ness with pleasure, and are buying
and shipping consignments OF fruit
and vegetables to their own custo-
mers in sections the growers have
never been able to reach before. This
businss at the start was largely
speculative, but is now developing
into a distinct factor in the move
ment Of produce.
