C. GILLETTS SPLENDID ADDRESS AT HOME PRODUCTS DINNER LAST NIGNT (Continued from Page 4.) 1 am proud to say that in my opin- ion Tampa Board of Trade is en- titled to all credit, for starting the movement and placing confidence behind it resulting in ' Hillsbor- ough's fine system of vitrified brick roads. 1 was on a committee of the Board of Trade which was instruct- ‘ed to investigate the cost of main- tenance of our poor roads and re- jsult of this investigation revealed 1lhe startling information that ;Hillsbnrough county was expending, 1 believe, $140,000 per annum in llhe up-keep and building of the' worthless highways which then ' prevailed. Shortly thereafter the Board of Trade of Tampa appointed a committee of prominent citizens ,and this committee working in con- {junction with the county commis- | sioners went before the people and Iadvouted her million dollar bond i‘““e which was carried by a large lmajorlty. The saving thus effected lto Hillsborough county today not }nnly provides the interest on her bond issue but also a comfortable is(nking fund for the retirement of | her bonds. {1 have attended good roads meet- ings in Polk county on numerous {occasions and whenever the LAKELAND MEN RESPOND LIBERAL) 10 CALL OF COMMERCIAL SPIRIT The enthusiasm and “Lakeland Spirit” that is present in the re-or- ganization of the Board of Trade, and its conversion into a Greater Chamber of Commerce was never more strongly manifested than when, at 9:30 this morning about 50 of the busiest business men in town reported promptly for service in making a canvass in the interest of the movement. This force had previously been formed into some dozen or more committees, - with their work cut out for them, and these sallied forth with a confidence and enthusiasm that must have been infectious; for when the workers re- assembled for luncheon at the Colon- fal Cafe some two hours later, they had secured 83 new memberships, representing pledges agsgregating $4,980. Hardly a man approached failed to cheerfully subscribe to the movement, and the progress of the various committees was, in each in- stance, what might be called a tri- umphal march. This is the first day of three days of actual campaigning, and the re- salts so far have been most gratify- ing. Tomorrow morning, at 9:30, Chamber of Commerce rooms, and devote the time until luncheon to a further canvass. They will meet again at 12:30 tomorrow for lunch- eon at the Colonial Cafe, where they will make their reports and plans for Friday's final clean-up. There is a splendid spirit of co- operation evident among the work . ers, met by responsiveness upon the part of the business men approached, which augurs well for the great and lasting commercial structure to be built by this movement. e e — through your towns and you will REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS witness an influx of homeseekers and investors beyond your fondest| H, expectation.

[ cannot conceive that our farmers of Polk county lack the in- telligence to vote a bond issue for Polk county good roads of a perman- ent nature, provided they have the assurance and confidence that the money derived from said bond issue will be economically expended and while you are making these tests do you not know that you are retard- ing the growth of other counties by reason of the poor roads which will prevail here until yu do connect them up? Follow the example of Hillsborough county and of other counties to the north-—connect up yur main truck lines with brick abut which there can be no ques- tion as to endurance, give the peo- ple who are anxijous to see the beau- ties of Polk county an opportunity to get within ur borders on passable roads, then make your laterals and less important roads of your sand oil material or something similar, but build roads-—that is the crying need of Polk county today and the Board of Trade of the City of Lakeland could undertake no more important work than to become the champions of a brick highway con- necting up the Jacksonville-Tampa route, which is so badly needed. | We complain bitterly of the cost lof transportation but if the truth on outskirts of the city, I am going I were told it would probably devel- op that it costs Mr. Farmer as much to haul a crate«of strawberries or a box of oranges into Lakeland or Winter Haven as it does to trans- port them one hundred times that distance by rail.
