Thus 91.8 per cent at the Monroe county population lives under the double government of the city and county, paying for both, while the other 8.2 per cent makes up the population for which the county gov- | ernment actually is intended. Admitting that the county in this case | does perform many of the functions of a | normal city, it is difficult to see what the taxpayers of Key West gain by supporting do the same job at less ee and with greater efficiency. governments in the nation as a whole, it is Webster's dictionary, for instance de- fines a county government, and adds that Sieh government is leas important than the po t than the town and’ city in the middle west. The obvious reason is that the more thickly populated, urban sections of the northeast. get sufficient government from the cities and towns, with the county carry- ing on the minor job of caring for the few who are not so governed. In the south, with greater rural areas, the need for a county government is proportionately greater. Manatee county, with an urban pop- ulation of 55.7 per eent, just about strikes the average for the state and provides a good example of the true purpose of city and county governments. (The state popula- tion is divided between 55.1 per cent urban residents and 44.9 per cent areas.) | Manatee, which is listed in the census as having a population of 26,098, has its population almost split in half between its three cities and one town on one hand, and its farm districts on the other. government there is obvious—but why | here? YELLOWSTONE WONDERS In 1872 Congress square miles of land, mostly in northwest- ern Wyoming, since known as Yellowstone National Park, in order to preserve for pos- natural phenomena in the world. The park is situated on a mountainous plateau from six to eight thousand feet above.sea level, with many-high peaks of volcanic.origin, but now extinct. Théie are several lakes, thé largest) . being.,//Yellow- stone Lake} about 10 by 20 miles in extent and lying 7,741 feet above sea level. The falls and canyon of the Yellowstone River are among the most spectacular and beauti- ful to be found anywhere. Of paramount interest to many are the | geysers, about 100 in number—more than | exist in all the rest of the world. Most of | these spout water and steam, others spout thick mud. Exeelsior geyser is the largest, flowing 4,000 gallons of boiling water a | minute and throwifig a great column of water and steam 100 to 250 feet high at ir- regular intervals. Old Faithful geyser dis- charges a column 150 feet high every 64 half gallons at each eruption. Good roads and modern conveniences for the comfort and pleasure of visitors are to be found in the park, which annually at- ts a great number of tourists. ‘is forbidden, but fishing is permitted. The ‘park is one of the greatest wild bird and ‘animal preserves in the world.
