DUE TO OTHERS ALSO IN MISS PARKER CITES CASE OF COCONUTS HAVING BEEN DONATED BY FLAGLER HO- TEL SYSTEM Anent the beautification pro- ject recently.completed in the area bounded by United, Reytiolds and White streets and Flagler Avenue and an article covering the work which appeared in The Citizen of Saturday, Miss Mollie Parker, under whose direction the project was carried out, has the following to say: “While highly appreciative of the story and the credit given, 1 will thank you to make an ex- planation about the coconuts. In a sense they were my donation to the city, but I do not want the whole credit. “The coconuts were given to me by the Flagler Hotel System and came from the Long Key Fishing Camp upon my petition. They were brought to Key West by one of the tenders of the lighthouse department.” In concluding her talk with The Citizen Miss Parker says that while it was through her efforts the nuts were obtained and she cared for the seed nuts until they were ready to be set out, she feels that both the hotel company and Mr. Demeritt are entitled to their share of the credit and asks that this be done. FLORIDA BRIN 76 PASSENGERS (By Associated Prexs) TALLAHASSEE, Fia., Oct. 30. —A gigantic reforestation pro- ;gram, ultimately embracing 2,000,~ [000 acres and costing $8,000,000, will be undértaken by trustees of the state internal improvement fund if the national public works administration will advance the money. Cut-over lands now lying idle wouldbe made to produce fine timber under the reforestation program, the trustees said, and money loaned by the public works administration would be repaid through sale of lumber and for- estry products, and _ possibly through ultimate sale of some of the lands. Alveady,. the trustees have ap- plied #0 the public works admin- for. $494,000, the first quota of the fund. that will. be sought. This. would be used . to start reforestation work on 190,- 000 acres, located in three tracts. The first tract is in Wakulla, Leon and Liberty counties, a second is in Putnam and Clay counties, and the third in Pasco and Hills- borough counties, Governor Sholtz and members of his cabinet who are the inter- nal improvement fund trustees this week presented to Secretary Wal- lace. of the federal department of agriculture, who is the public i It was said semi-officially that the government would abstain from raising the question in parliament, and this policy, rather than his health, would be responsible for the absence of former Premier Edouard Herriot, be- cause his participation would rbe certain to revive the debt question.
