SITUATION Hon. F. C. Bowyer, president of the Tampa Board of Trade, was a morning. While in the city, Mr. ' Bowyer took occasion to call on Sec- Trade, and discuss the light and wa- ter proposition. Mr. Bowyer is a large property owner of Lakeland and naturally takes a great interest '_in everything pertaining to the city. [ In the course of hig conversation with!, " Seeretary Yglworthy, .\Ir.;' Bowyer said: “I read with much interest your article in the Evening Telegram re- garding the proposed sale of the Lakeland light and water plants to a private corporation. Your position is undoubtedly correct, and cerely hope and believe that the good people of Lakeland will vote down the proposition to sell if it isl submitted to them. | I sin- “The city of Tampa gave away her light and water franchise to pri- vate corporations years ago, and | now our people realize the great mistake that was made and. they have for several years been making an effort to buy them back. The wa- ter company has recently made the city a price of one million dollars for its plant, and the Lord only knows how much the lighting com- panies would ask for their plants. So far the city of Lakeland has profiteq by the experience of Tampa, and if it will retain its lighting and | water plants, improve and extend them as public necessity may re- quire, and conduct them on a busi- ness basis, the earnings in the course of time will pay the entire bonded indebtedness and enable the people to enjoy the minimum rates, which, primarily, is the object of municipal ownership." Miss Estelle Butler, who is one of the successful teachers of the An- drew D. Gwynn Institute, Fort My- ers, Fla., left today for Rock Hill, S. C., to take a special course at Winthrope College. She also intends to visit Mammoth Cave, Niagara Falls, the Great Laxes and points of interest in Canada. Miss Butler will stop over to visit her sister, Mrs. J. E. Ortagus of St. Augustine, but will be in Fort Myers to resume her duties by the 1st of September. Mrs. Ella L. Speed, district man- ager of the Tribe of Ben-Hur, is in the city, meeting the citizens and trying to organize a chapter here. Mrs. Speeq is located at the Lake Mirror hotel and will be pleased to see any one interested in the orga- nization of the chapter. C. A. Cole, seniér member of the firm of Cole & Hull leaves for Chi- cago today. He will meet Mrs. Cole at Chicago where he will spend about 10 days buying goods. Mrs. Cole will go north to Michigan to go to Jowa on business. Mr. and Mrs. Guy Arendell are the parents of a sweet little daugh- ter, born at noon today. Mr. Lloyd Adams left this morn- ing for Bradentown, where he goes to accept a position as inspector on the sewerage work, now being in- stalled in that city.
