urged TO attend.
pro and con, he said, is the bond
refunding proposition which was
handled by the senator and Assist
ant State Attorney J. Lancelot
Lester.
Results are already showing in
this and one of them is the fact
that the millage on the tax rolls
has been reduced 40 mills for the
present and ensuing year. Not only
this but the interest has been re
duced to three percent for the
first 10 years, four percent for
the next 10 years and five percent
for the next 10 years Of the 80
year period, or an average of
per cent annually on the bonded
indebtedness of the county.
The senator believes that this
refunding plan which is now
operating smoothly will eventually
wipe out the bonded indebtedness
of the county, and this at no very
distant date.
Books for pupils in the public
schools from the first to the 18th
grade is another bill which was
sponsored by the senator. and al
so the bill which provides not
more than $3.50 for operations for
blind persons, and there have
been a number of persons in this
county who have been benefited
by this bill.
Pension Bill
Pensions for the aged in Flor
ida is another of the bills which
intrigued the interest of the SEN
ator, he says, and during the 1895
session he offered amendments,
to every revenue bill introduced
in the senate, which called for
setting aside certain parts Of the
funds for the old age pension
fund.
Another bill which later became
law was the Homestead Ex-
emption Bill, which provided for
nonpayment of taxes on home
steads valued at less than $4,000.
This bill was originally introduced
by Senator Gomez in 1881, de-
spite everything said to the con-
trary, he said.
"I have considered the position
of county attorney not only from
legal standpoint. but he is a
travelling salesman for his county
and as such can do many things
for the benefit of his home sec
ton, and I feel that in this mat
ter | have acquitted myself ably.
zone of the best accomplish
ments during my time as county
attorney was the fight necessary
before the supreme court of the
state in the matter of tax abate-
ments in connection with the
Overseas Highway and Bridges"
said the senator.
''For three days and nights I
sat with Attorney Henry Taylor
and Lance Lester in Miami franz
ing the pleadings which were to
be presented to the tribunal. and
I am today happy to say that our
combined efforts as, presented to
the court bv myself. gained a
victory for the county" ~ ....i.

Asked how long he had been
IN the senate. Mr.. Gomez replied
that for the past seven years he
has been serving this county and
felt that he had done the best
possible. had put forth every eff
fort and that though he had
made some mistakes his accom-
plishmsnts, he felt, outweighed
many times his shortcomings as
senator.
The senator fees, he said, that
the most important bill he will
present at the coming session will

payment Of current taxes.
Relative To Taxes
DO you know" he asked, "that
less than 40 percent of the peo-
Pc IN this county are at this time
paying their taxes? And this is a
deplorable condition. But with the
BIN being enacted into a law, and
people taking advantage of this,
~ they certainly should do, the
county and its good pepole will
have a new start, and be back on
a sound basis"
Another matter in which the
senator said he is deeply interest
ed i the proposed consolidation
% city and county which has been
for many years discussed from
every angle. "The Citizen has
been advocating this consohda-
tion," he said, "and everything
necessary has been done except

he was asked.
There Is still time to frame this
