A friend In Ind.anap-n'lls. Indiana, told Those who have not recently visited and sWpn the development under way in Cherokee Hills can hardly visualize the transformation taking place in what was considered, one of city's eye sores. Where formerly was a narsh, frequently overflowed heavy rains, i rrow high Iry land, a deep canal has taken place of the meandering stream, the land has been wrought up to the level of Park avenue and when the improvements, ana beautiflcatlon have been completed, this section will-represent the finest residential property In Tallahassee. City engineers are now instal-ing a new culvert across St Augustine road to take care of hat they claim, more water has ever sought an outlet from the section it is to take care of. The preparation of this land for Cherokee Hills has jeen a nuch bigger engineering project than the average man imagines.

It is involving the expenditure many thousands of dollars; it 's a big thing for the city as it iot only wipes out an unsightly ection but represents property immense value as a close In, highly restricted, residential section. It presents many advan-ages in that it is but three min-ites walk from the center of the ity and seven minutes walk from ihe high school yet It is well from the taint of com mercialism.

Hathaway did not return with the other members and attaches of the office from the Tampa meeting of the commission. He is expected to be here Monday for the meeting with the I eon county board of commissioners in regard to road matters in this county. Those who know the efficient service of Jim Stratton for 26 years janitor at the Elks club and who have long respected the real man beneath the dark skin of thin faithful servant, will grieve to learn of his death. They will rppreciate the fitness of the attendance of the local lodge at the funeral service which will be held at the cemetery Sunday afternoon. In discussing the proposed call for an extra session of the legislature for which it is said the county commissioners of the several counties of th state in a session held at Orlando Friday have determined to ask to validate the road and bridge bonds issued by special districts, attorney General Johnson said "there ig no parallel between tke creation of road and bridge districts in Florida and road and bridge districts in Texas.

The process differs materially. While the decision of the United States supreme court In the Texas bond case may affect the marketability of the bonds issued in this state, in my opinion it in no way effects their validity." This is the concensus of opinion of many of the leading lawyers of the state.
