Toll Roads Are
Proposed For All
Over The State

| LAKELAND tR - Jess Var
brough, Dade County commission
member, has proposed that the
State consider construction of toll
roads in many parts of Florida to
alleviate traffic problems.
Meeting here with directors of
the County Commission Associa-
ton, Yarbrough said if such tour
| ist centers at Miami, Sarasota, st.
Petersburg and West Palm Beach
do not have good roads entering
their areas, tourists will pass them
up.
Yarbrough advocated construc-
ton of the East Coast Turnpike.
He opposed ideas advanced that
some main traffic arteries be four
laned.
If U. S. No. / Highway is four
laned, he said, the State Road De-
partment would spend its budget
for 10 years on that project alone.
If highways u. S. No. /, Ala.
U. S. n and the Tamiami Trail
have four lanes it would cost the
equivalent of the State Road Agen-
cy's budget for so years.
He said most motorists using
the highways are from outside
Florida and they, instead of coun-
ty residents, should pay the bulk
of the costs for building and main
tanning such highways.
The directors discussed a pro-
posed legislative program to be
presented at the Associations state
meeting in Tallahassee March ST.

Eisenhower repeatedly will lell the
III. S. Seventh Fleet to let the
Chinese Nationalist on Formosa
attack the Chinese Communist
mainland. This would not prevent
the fleet from blocking any at
tempt by the Communists to raid
Formosa.
Such White House order to the
fleet would be official blessing to
something which has been going
on anyway for more than a year
on a small scale: While Chang
Kai-shek's main body of troops is
on Formosa his forces have been
making commando like raids on
the mainland from 80 islands off
China's coast.
Even with the fleet pulled aside
it's doubtful Chang could increase
the size of such raids for some
time. His delegate to the United
Nations, DR.. T. F. Tsiang, says
large-scale operations against the
mainland could not be made for a
year or two, and they could be
done then only with American help.
At the same time an Associated
Press reporter on Formosa wrote
over the week end that the Com
munists at present do not appear
capable of invading Formosa,
which is separated from the main
land by 80 miles Of water.
He said they could make air
raids on the island and that Chang,
who has some planes, could do the
same to them. And the Nationalist
who have some small boats, could
help the U. S. blockade the China
coast if a blockade should be
undertaken.
On Formosa Chang has at the
most 100000 troops, not all of them
ready or equipped for a full in
vasion of the mainland. He prob.
ably couldn't attempt it, when
ready, without u. S. help.
The unanswered question. even
with the issuance of a White House
order to the fleet, is the unpre-
dictable one: How. deeply can
Chang get involved In fighting the
Chinese Communists without get
ting the U. S. more deeply in
volved?
The most immediate effect of
this reported first get-tough effort
of the Eisenhower administration
may be more psychological than
anything else. II will give the
Chinese Communists, who have
been concentrating their forces
and attention on Korea, something
else to worry about.
Since they don't know whether
this is just the first of a series of
American moves to end the Korean
War, they can't tell where the next
vii! hit them. The purpose of this.

would be to put pressure on the

HAL
BOYLE
SAYS

NEW YORK = R-Should dog
owners be allowed to list pooches
as dependents for income tax pur-
poses?
| hate to add this problem to the
woes OF Congress-. Corporations are
pleading for removal of the tax
on excess profits. Commuters want
to deduct their railroad fares from
taxation. Housewives want the
same privilege for THEFT rbeauty
costs, contending it's their business
to stay pretty.
Everybody has been crying for
tax relief except dog owners. Now
some of them are setting I'D a
howl for help too.
Their big yelp is that the upkeep
OF mans most faithful friend costs
more today than it did to raise
a kid generation ago.
My wife paid $500 for our
French poodle at a department
store" said an acquaintance of
mine. Imagine that-buying dog
at a department store! And she
cost exactly three times what nv
own parents paid for me.
We named the poodle Simone.
We took her to a vet and he de-
clded she had to be inoculated. de-
wormed, operated on, treated for
incipient anemia, and then sent
to an obedience school.
She came back with a frustra.
ton complex and bad tonsils. Have
to have them out as soon as |
can afford it.
Most dogs think they smell
sweet enough if you pump them
full OF chlorophyll. Not our Simone.
She sulks if we don't spray her
with perfume. Got to touch a little
behind each ear, too, just like my
wife does. 1t is hard to keep dog
happy these days.
Altogether I have forked out
more for Simone in food, clothing
and medical expenses than it cost
me for year at college. She also
has chewed up about 1000 worth
of furniture.
why shouldn't the government
allow me measly $500 dependency
deduction for herr"
He also argued a dog had as
much right to be listed as a de-
pendent as has a babylon the
ground that a dog might bite a
burglar, whereas a baby would
only smile at him.
Other dog owners don't press
this point, realizing that a pooch
with a really genteel upbringing
today is too snobbish to approach
strange, shabby intruder with
out proper introduction.
But they have another argument.
"Your dog now often determines
your social standing" one man
said. "And the trend now is toward
more dogs. The more you take out
for walk on leash the more
important your neighbors think you
are.
They have to be matched dogs.
of course, and bluebloods. If you
go for a stoll along Park Ave.
with less than matched pair, the
gossip starts that you aren't doing
so well, and your wife is wearing
last years mink.
Certainly today dogs are as
much a legitimate business ex.
pense to some people as the money
a salesman spends to entertain
buyers.
1t looks like Congress will have
to show real craftsmanship TO
deal with this tax relief problem.
For some dog owners are COM
planning their pets cost so much
they are being forced to give them
up for cats. And the cat owners
have meow, too. They say cats
are so expensiv ethey are getting
rid of them and buying canaries.
Something has got to be done |
10 make the cat and dog lovers |
more happy. They've got enough |
votes to put the bite on any poll

shall, chairman of the Plumbing
Board of the City, may, | under
stand, issue an order that the wash
tubs in the easements must be dis
connected and remain so until such
time they are connected with the city
sewer line.
The case is very much complicat-
ed, due to the fact that the city's
plumbing inspector apparently APP
proved plans for the houses (there
" ere about so constructed and Sold
with some of the plans showing
laundry tubs in the basement and
other plans not showing them.
The plumbing Inspector stated
however, very definitely, that no
final plumbing permits for these
houses were ever issued by him.
Although the meeting on Monday
afternoon lasted for nearly three
hours, the only definite things that
came out of it were: the fact that the
connecting of the laundry tubs TO the
laundry tubs to the dry well was a
violation; and the fact that it will
very definitely bring about a more
thorough inspection of plumbing in
homes in the future, than apparently
has been done in the past.
II was good to hear from Senator
Mclaughlin that the Bellevue Home
will not be disturbed during the
building of the Chronic Disease Hos

II was thought for while that the

when the work on the hospital got
underway, but the Senator now in
forms me that he has received def
mite assurance that this will not be
done.
The calling for bids for the new
hospital is still being held up be-
cause of a dispute over an architects
fee. But it is expected that this will
be Strengthened out shortly and then
the State Board of Public Works will
call for bids.
