TALLAHASSEE. May 2s. :

TALLAHASSEE. May 20. -
ems. - State business leader:
presen ted strong argument
against Governor Caldwelrs pro
posed Improvement Commission
bill at a joint: bearing last week.
Harold Colce, executive vice
president of the Florida State
Chamber of Commerce, speaking
with the authority Of the Exceu-
tive Committee, told, thcjoint ses-
sion: fst
git is our opinion that this pro
posed bill presents a continuation
of u socialistic trend through its
invasion into the field of private
enterprise.
ut creates a statewide commits
sion authorized to buy, build or
lease for its own operation a null
titude of business enterprises in
Guiding warehouses, refrigeration
and freezing plants, pipelines, wa
ter supplies, etc, as we'll as toll
roads, bridges and tunnels. II al
So grants the right 10 condemn
practically any and all types Of
property for the purpose of the
act.
1T is our belief that the CTea-
ton of this commission would
endanser the welfare of the state
in that it could be used as club
over existing private enterprise
engaged in the various classified
items of BUSINESS enumerated: that
it would close the door to future
building or expansion by private
enterprise in these fields; that
projects of the commission would
be lax free, increasing the burden
borne by business and citizens
and decreasing revenue of coun-
ties and municipalities; and that
the unlimited scope OF activities
authorized would gve the comms-
ison unlimited and unreasonable
power and authority over private
business enterprises and citizens" "

LIEUTENANT COLONEL. IKE SALLEY
Is COMMENDED BY THREE GENERALS

nears the completion of its task
in the European thcatcf of sopef-
atoms, to pass on TO you our APP
probation of the efficient services
rendered by 1t. Col. Salley, engi-
ncer of the Eastern District.
Had it not been FOR his keen
interest, energetic work, and his
splendid cooperation, it is doubt
full whether we could have con-
tinued TO operate from our air
dromes without interruption
throughout the long perind of in.
tensive bombing which we have
just concluded.
You are no doubt aware that
at the time of the establishment
of Eighth Air Force air bases in
the U. K, a serious shortage OF
materials existed.
This prccluded the construc-
ton of perimeter tracks and rum
ways in accordance with specifi-
cations which we would have lik-
ed to have had, Moreover, as our
bombing increased we found that
we were operating a larger num-
Der of aircraft from each airdrome
than had ever been anticipated
and were carrying heavier air.
craft loads. This made the main
tenance of runways and perime-
ter tracks a serious problem
which required a high degree OF
resourcefulness and energy on
the part of your engineer. How
ever, 1t. Col, Salley was untiring
in his efforts and inspired the
troops under his jurisdiction 10
such a degree that they worked
long hours under very difficult
conditions in order to assure that
our airdromes were in a usable
condition.
Il would like TO express through
you TO 1t. Col. Sallcy my deep
appreciation for the splendid job
that he has done and to wish him
every success in his future under
takings."

Citizens Of State Urged to Observe
National + fire Prevention Week

Willard A. Sullivan, Insurance
Commissioner and State Fire Mar
shall. in issuing an appeal to the
people of Washington to observe
Fire Prevention Week, which has
been officially. proclaimed by
both President Truman and Gov
ernor Walgren as October Z to -
inclusive, pointed out that during
the war period, fire losses in the
United States alone, amounted to
sl.357, 1923, 100000; that 10000 per-
sons lost their lives and that &c.
600 people were injured. He said
that $4,000 of these lives were lost
on farms and that 100000, 100000
worth of farm property was de-
stroyed. MIR. Sullivan said that
fire costs the United States over
a million dollars a day and that
last year $4,000 homes, $4,000
factories, $4,000 public buildings,
such as schools, hospitals, etc., and
279,OOO miscellaneous buildings
were attacked by fire.
The Commissioner stated that
for fire causes, smoking and
matches headed the list with 1917
500 fires, causing losses totalling
$25, OO0,0 100000. The next cause on
the list was chimneys and nues,
which caused $1,000 fires, involv-
ing losses of $4,000, 100000. Third
Was the misuse Of or faulty cleo

heating equipment was next with
$4,000 fires and q loss Of 81, $780,
10000. These are but few Of
the % listed causes which during
1914 amounted to 100000 fires.
with loss of $403, 600, 100000, Mr..
Sullivan said.
There is a definite place in the
Fire Prevention Week program for
every citizen because the econom-
ic progress of the nation depends
on continued resources which fire
destroys forever. Moreover, 80 per
cent of all fires are preventable
and have their origin in some
thoughtless act or some unneces-
sary hazard, which tend to make
up the principle causes Of fire
which are matches and smoking,
misuse of electrical equipment,
rubbish and litter, unsafe heating
apparatus, defective hues and
carelessness with gasoline and
petroleum products, all Of which
declares the Commissioner, can be
controlled by slight effort.
Commissioner Sullivan suggests
that during Fire Prevention Week,
every home be checked from cellar
to attic for rubbish and oily rags;
that heating systems be examined
for defects; that chimneys be
cleaned of SCOT; ashes, he says,
should be kept in covered metal
containers; that ash trays be pro-
vided where smoking is permitted;
that matches be placed in metal
containers and kept out Of reach
Of small children; check electrical
equipment for defects and. re-
charge fire extinguishers. He also
pointed out that industrial estab-
lishments, schools, stores, hospit-
ais, etc., should be thoroughly in
spected for hazards which the To-
cal fire chief would be willing to
do, If asked.

Plant Bulbs Now Is
Advice of Gardener

Experiments show that now Is
the best time Of the year to plant
hardy bulbs" says S. E. Wads-
worth, w. S. S. professor Of nori-
culture and landscape gardening.
1T has been found that the best
time to plant bulbs for spring
bloom in this region is the period
between Oct. ! and Nov. /. Bulbs
may be planted later than Nov. 1,
in fact may be set as late as
Christmas but Towering is later
and is not quite as high In quality.
The month of October is the best
time Of ALL" Wadsworth adds.
