Buy Bonds And
Beat Initiation
Treasury Urges
Especial to The CitixenI

JACKSONVILLE, June 81
The people of Monroe county in
vested $66,737 in U. S. Savings
Bonds during the month of May,
according to figures just COM
piled by the Treasury Depart
nent. Florida sales of Savings
Bonds for the same month to-
tailed $8,266,872, bringing the
statewide monthly average for
the first part of 1916 to more
than eight million dollars.
Calling initiation the country's
Number One domestic prob
lem," w. w. McEachern, chair
man of the Treasury's Saw
ings Bonds Advisory committee
for Florida, in commenting on
the peacetime program for the
continuing sale of government
securities said: Il can't too
strongly stress the Importance
OF Savings Bonds as sound IN
vestments, for there was neve:
i time when national interest as
Well as individual welfare
called more imperatively for
spending restraint on the part of
the people,"
"The amount of money in cir
culation is now more than three
times the total at the end of
1910; demand deposits in banks
have scared from about IS bill
lion dollars to rs billion dur
ing the same period, and time
deposits have risen from % bill
lion to so billion. The Treasury
is now conducting a campaign to
inform the public of the urgency
for investing in Savings Bonds to
back their future.
'If the public will put more of
its cash reserves in bonds, the
danger of initiation will be sem
sibly diminished, provided of
course new sales are not offset
by redemptions of bonds pre-
viously purchased, and that is
why it is important to buy bonds
for keeps"

BOARD WILL OPEN
HARRIS SCHOOL BIDS

Tomorrow afternoon at l o.
clock the Monroe county school
board will open bids for repairs
to the Harris elementary school.
which was partly destroyed by
fire week before the end of the
last school term, Superintendent
Willard M. Albury said today.
He explained that while the
project has been approved by the
Civilian Production board in this
district, it does not mean that
the contractor who receives the
bid will be given priority in OBJ
tanning materials.
Mr.. Albury explained that the
action of CPB is in the nature
of a "go sign, and that obtain
ing materials is an altogether
different matter. He added that
he thought the schoolhouse will
be completed for occupancy when
public schools in Monroe county
are re-opened on Sept. 8, in the
event the contractor can get
adequate materials.
The same thing, Mr.. Albury
said, applies to the construction
of the proposed schoolhouse at
Marathon, contract to build
which was awarded to Vincent
Cremata. That building will be
of concrete block construction,
and Mr.. Cremata is making the
forms in Key West. When they
are completed, work will begin
on the building at Marathon.

Hospital Grant Act
Explained 10 Officers
OF State Agencies

The Hospital Survey and Con-
struction Act was explained to the
officers of State health agencies
who will handle the funds In their
States yesterday afternoon in the
Public Health Service Building
The session was the closing one
for the State and territorial health
Officers, who have been meeting
here this week.
Under the hospital act, Federal
aid will be given to the States and
Territories SO that they can build
enough hospitals to serve all the
people. The Act sets up two funds
from which the States can draw
money for the projects.
One fund is 100000, which
will be used for surveys and plan
ming. Part of this money has been
appropriated. The other fund.
which has not yet been appropriated
provides $375, 100000 for construc-
ton. The Federal Government will
pay from these two funds one-third
the cost of the survey and con-
Struction. The State must pay the
other two-thirds.
DR.. Herman Hilleboe, associate
chief of the Bureau of State Serv-
ices of the Public Health Service,
presided at the meeting and DR..
Vane Hoge, chief of the Division of
Hospital Facilities, explained the
provisions of the act and answered
questions from the State health
officials.
All the States cannot draw the
same amount from the funds. The
survey and planning allotment fol
State is based on population, ano
the construction allotment is based
on the number Of people in the
State and the per capita income
No allotment for surveys will be
less than $4,000.
Before State can draw from
the Federal fund for the survey
1t must name or set up State
agency to manage the survey and
planning and set up State plan
for providing hospital beds and
health centers. 1t also must be
shown that the new hospitals will
serve equally, according to need,
every race, creed and color.
