GEN COX ENDORSES TELEGRAM'S PLAN, Lakeland, Fla., March 3, 1912 Editor Telegram: T desire to en- dorse most emphatically your posi- tion on the school house matter. It is absolutely fair to all. It is prac- tical and will bring results quicker than any other plan. As a member of the county school board for fourteen months I heard many plans discussed for the relief of Lakeland special school district, all of which were refected. Now it seems it is the time to get together, ston bickerings and make at once a long step forward in the interest of progress. 3 1. A. cox. SEEK T0 DISSOLVE. ain, MacDonough, Metzer, 1 A.

What Lakeland Has Done and Is Yet to Accomplish as Noted by the Tampa Tribune. Today the Tampa Tribune issued its Polk county edition and we reproduce a portion of the write-up given Lakeland, which shows the impression an outsider has of the best town in Florida: Few cities of its size in the Unit- States can point to a building record in 1912 that will equal that of Lakeland. Nearly a million dol- lars is represented in the new build- ings that were constructed last year fi. and adjacent to the city and the ed mer records will be surpassed. Over 300 new residences were built last year, some costing well up in five fig- ures, and the average being conserv- atively estimated at $2,000. This gives a total value of new hLomes erected during the year, in round numbers, of $600,000. For the list of new buildings and figures upon other improvements mentioned, the Tribune is indebted te G. C. Rogan, one of the progres- sive and well informed real estate men of Lakeland. He mentions the following buildings, with their esti- mated cost: L. p:wuonm-r station. . $ 25,000 10,000 30,000 100,000 15,000 25,000 -3 10,000 15,000 50,000 7,000 Refrigerating plant., . | Hardin building Deen & Bryant Innldmu Gentry & Futeh hailding . . Skipper building ........ Lakeland Highlands ¢ Iuh. ' City Cafe .. Citrus Exohange building.. 10,000 Stephens apartments. . ... 15,000 At the present time work is pro- gressing upon several large build- ings, one being a new fireproof ho- tel which will cost complete about $125,000. Another splendid struc- ture soon to be erected is the new city hall, the old building having been torn down last week. More than fifty new residences are heing built at the present moment and two new warehouses and two bottling plants are to be erected immediately. One construction company reports contracts in Lakeland aggregating $150,000 in new buildings and all o° these are to be erected during the curly part of the present year, In public improvements also Lake- land is taking the lead. Work is now being done on the system of paved streets for which a bond issue was recently authorized by an elec- tion. Practically every street is to be paved, brick being used in the business districts and asphalt block on most of the residence streets. Along with the streets will be laid a complete sewerage system and when these improvements are completed Lakeland will take front rank among progressive Florida cities. i All lines of legitimate business are represented here by a class of as hirh-minded men as can, be found anywhere, and the class of =oods that are handleq are of a quality to reflect credit on much larger places than Lakeland. The professional men are on an equally high Dasis and altogether there seems to be & spirit of progressiveness that per- vades the entire community, which h-numotmmntmdobfio city. The railway facilities are of the very best. The sgreat Atlantie Coast Lines have made a center herej for their entire system in the State. There are twents-seven passenger trains arriving and departing from; the handsome new depot dallv. Large shops are located here and the monthly pay roll of those employed in the movement of trains and the general work of construction and ac- a civil | th!hm of such large system, add in no small de the city. Targe packing houses are also lo- cated here and the new home cof the Florida Citrus Exchange will rival any of the packing houses in the (Continued om Page §.) t zree to the prosperity of
