Most | lof these were mere guesses, and ! none of them were 'hL product of any serious thought or based 'upon facts. ‘ Before The Herald goes u|t9 wth actual story of the cost, 1t wishes to state that the future cost of the hard-surfacing will be somewhat less, owing to the; fact that Mr. C. C. Martin, of the Prairie Pebble Phosphate com- Ipany, as general manager, one lof the foremost good roads; workers in the country, and Mr. Burdett Loomis, Jr., of thei Pierce Phosphate company as managers of these properties, have placed at the disposal of County Commissioner Lancas- ter and Superintendent lkuher.l materials from the mines, that will not only make of these | roads the very best that can be! obtained, but the fact that the hauling of the materials is of short distance, will considerably lessen the cost of doing the| work. To these two gcntlcmcn} The Herald wishes to pay tl}isi‘ slight tribute for their public-; spiritedness. Considerable criticism was ex- pressed from a certain individu-; al who formerly resided in Pierce about the condition of the road from that center of in-' dustry to Mulberry, but who now resides in other parts. To all such critics The Herald once fe 2 imore wishes to call attention to “All The noad from Lakeland to Christina; is now an actuality, the rest of the road will in good time be hard-surfaced. We must remember, first that the lerew of twenty-five convicts moved from its site at Christina to Pierce, is now hard at work and that this crew has been join- ed this week by that released by the finishing of the work on the Lakeland to Kathleen road, along with machinery and teams has just reach the first gang of sixteen, were all placed on the road south of Lakeland on the first day of October and have finished their work to the Chris- tina bridge by the first of April. Many of us are gurious to know the amount of mileage built in that time and at what cost per mile. The distance was careful- ly measured Wednesday after- noon at the request of The Her- ald and showed an even five miles by a speedometer on Mr. J. C. Whidden's car. Mr. E. S. Whidden accompanied the party as a verv muchly interested on- looker. That part of the story is now complete and through the kindly action of other frun:l~ of The Herald we are enabled, by the examination of the books at Bar- tow to ascertain the costs of this piece of roadwork and find that the sum of $6.363.51 or $1,272.70 per mile. The foad itself in a most greditable and satisfac- tory conditon and a little infor- ymation, gleaned from Mr. Whid- den shows that during eight (years, the upkeep cost of this jroad was ngt over ten dollars iand that with proper care and |attention the present road will last for a greater number of years at a very low cost of up- keep. In this connection we be- lieve that when this road w. kept up previously, it was was | not the worst road in the coun-| try by a jug full. At the prc<-| ent time, with a crew planned to'! keep up the present system of roads by a maintenance crew, : Polk county wil have some of| Florida, that at a cost so low that the | good roads advocates will not! hesitate to help with both cash! and boosting and not have the' county in debt for future "umra-‘ “lf(\ilh to pay off. —\Iulherr\ Her-' the old Biblical = saying, and ; WANTED—Ticket to (‘lncmnan‘ Chicago, Indianapolis or Terre | Haute.
