These plants are of great value from _both health and cconomic stand- points, and many cities are installing them. Lakeland has the in Florida, but there is a certain de- gree of hardness which if eliminated woulg result in a great saving of goap, Jonger life of pipes, plumbing, boilers, etc., besides destroying any bacteria that might exist and ren- dering the water more pleasant to use. At some future time, when the city shall be in better position to add improvements, it is not unlikely that such a plant would be very fav- orably considered. The cost of in- stallation in a town of this size is estimateq at $8,000. best water THE EVEMYG TELEGRAM LAKELAND, FLA., JUNE 6, 1914.

Ninth Birthd'ly Little Miss N is entertaining Nan Elizabeth Melton a number of her CITY OFFICIALS ARE BONDED DESPITE REPORTS TO CONTRARY The Editor of the Telegram: Cer- tain parties are circulating a report Ithat only one of the officials who handle money for the city bond to the city. These parties are mistaken. All of the officials who handle money for the city are under bonds to the city . These officials anq the amounts of their bonds are as follows: H. L. Swatts, city clerk, for $2,500. A. (. Armistead, bonded for $4,000. R. L. Marshall, bonded for $1,000. The report that there is a short- age in the accounts of the chief of police is incorrect. There has been paid into the city treasury every dollar accounteq for in the police court docket. Yours very truly, bonded treasurer, chief of police, DONALD F. McLEOD.
