Important Work
Faces Next Legislature

HELENA-In less than five months
the next biennial legislature will be in
session at Helena. In some ways it
will face more serious and difficult
problems than any previous legislature
has had to meet. Already preparations
for the session are under way.
The senate chamber at the state CAPT
toll has been occupied for more than a
year now by large force of engi-
of the state highway department. Con-
struction of the new highway office
building is now under way. The con-
tractor, Fred Duploy of Great Falls, is
under contract to have the building
ready for occupancy by December Is.
A heavy penalty is provided in case
there is any delay after that date. BY
January it is expected to have all
the state highway departments that oc-
cupy needed space in the capitol build
ing transferred to the new highway
building.
The new highway building is located
across Sixth avenue to the northwest of
the capitol.
The new building for the liquor adj
ministration is already completed and
occupied There will be large amount
of new legislation asked from the next
legislature on both highway and liquor
requirements. The highway patrol
which has been in operation now for
more than year, will probably ask
for a building Of its own for head
quarters purposes.
A movement to place a separate COM
mission in charge Of the liquor depart
ment and remove it from politics has
already been inaugurated.
This year the new old age pension
bill was put into operation. The de-
mand is widespread for needed change:
in the pension law Already move
ment is under way to get added reve-
nues through a transaction tax BY
which the pension can be increased
from the present maximum Of $50 ;
month to $50 month and reduction
in the age limit from 65 years to g.
years.
These four questions or subjects
highway construction and maintenance
state highway patrol, liquor handling
and old age pensions are by no mean
the only ones that will make the mex
legislature face some difficult prob
lens. The experience with drouth thi
year and water conservation require
ments will be in foremost place.

FORGOTTEN AGAIN.

Announcement was made in last
Saturdays daily press to the effect that
the state highway commission will let
contracts for nine additional projects
on August Is. People of Lincoln coun-
ty looked with longing eyes for any
mention of a project through this part
of the state-and met with the usual
disappointment. To be sure, one small
project is scheduled for construction in
the county-the memorial campsite
honoring the late S. M Logan. That is a
worthy project but it cannot cost more
than few thousand dollars, and that
sum is so extremely small when placed
against the needs of this district for
better highways.
The smallness of that allotment
stands out all the more wildly when
placed against the total of the August
Is lettings The news article said the
nine projects were figured to cost
100000, and nearly all Of that $500 900
goes to other parts of the state, I'M
doubtedly into sections that are already
very we'll supplied with modern high
ways During this fiscal year the state
will have $4,5OO, 900 for the furtherance
Of its highway program
In the face of repeated assurance
that No. 2 highway through this dis
trict would be rapidly pushed to COM
pletion, we are beginning to wonder
what understanding highway officials
have of the word rapidly" And out
of years of waiting and disappointment
a cry goes up from this entire dis
trict, How long, O Lord, how long,

made on the Tender Alpha.
Mr.. Demeritt said this morning
that all aids in the additional area,
and along the intracoastal water
way are to be inspected and also
the lighthouses at Jupiter Inlet
and Hillboro Inlet.
The area which is to be added
to this district consists of about
SO miles of shore line, formerly
part of the Sixth district, Within
the area of the district which is

ANOTHER BOOM
FOR FLORIDA IS
NOW In MAKING
RECEIPTS FROM SALES OF
GASOLINE, ISSUANCE OF
BUILDING PERMITS, AND
OTHER ITEMS, TAKE JUMP
Especial to The Citizen)
JACKSONVILLE, Nov. 20.

JACKSONVILLE, Nov. 90
Florida figures, from building
permits and gas-tax payments to
fishery products and retail sales,
all bear proof of another, but
safe and sane Boom, according
to the research department of the
Florida State Chamber of Com
merce in a statement today.
8 Building permits for the first
ten months OF 1886 are greatly in
excess of the total for the entire
year of 1885. Permits thus far
this year have totaled $38, 656,924
as compared with $29,209,243 for
last years total amount.
Gasoline consumption for the
first six months of 1886 is well
ahead Of that of 1888 and gas tax
payments for 1885 we'll in front
of those for 1884, the State Cham
Der said. Florida used 47,679,-
$50 gallons of gas the first six
months of 1885 as compared with
11O,615,39s gallons for the same
period OF 1888. Gas tax payments
the 1886 fiscal year were ST.
865,732 as compared with &c.,
499,7 for 1885.
A SO per cent increase, largest
gain of any state in the nation,
was chalked up by Florida in in
ternal revenue collections for
1886 Fiscal year, over 1885.
The fiscal year 1885 had a total
of SIS, POS, 1880 which was mag
nificently topped by $30,080,-
1924 for fiscal year of 1886.
Life insurance sales and debts
to individual banking accounts for
the first six months of 1886 and
the corresponding period of 1885
also showed great increases. Debts
to accounts were 1921, 1921, 900
that far in 80 as compared with
only $407, 425,000 in the first
half of 1885. Life insurance sales
the first part of 1886 were $780,
461, 200 against s21,386,OOO for
the same period of '35.
The 1885 citrus crop was valued
at S42, 300, 900, gain of approx
mately 10 million over 1885
value of $32,62O,O0O. Total re-
tail sales in Florida during 1885
were S421,249.OOO to the low
figure of 1888, $4,000 in 1888.
The combined total of agri-
cultural. naval stores and fishery
products for 1885 was $158,072,-
600, a very satisfactory increase
over the 1888 figure of $11S,-
$4,000, the State Chamber said.
