GSLADES DRAINAGE AND TWO RESOLUTIONS. Recently the West Palm Beach Board of Trade strongly commended the trustees of the internal improvement fund, including Gov. Catts, because of their view's on and plans for Everglades drainage. The West Palm Beach people want the trustees to continue their longdistance, ineffective drainage work, Instead of turning it over to able business men who will be "on the spot" at all times. This in spite of the fact that after 10 years of work not more than 10 per cent, of the drainage work has been completed.

The attitude of the West Palm Beach people results from the fact tbat they, also the large railroad-owning land companies, have been the principal beneficiaries of drainage work done so far, while the wage-earning purchasers in the 'Glades proper have been given nothing but loss and de-teat The Miami Chamber of Commerce follows with a resolution calling1 for the passage of the Hughlett bill Which will provide for real drainage Instead of makeshift work thereby benefitting helpless purchasers as well the big companies which got their lands for little or nothing. A hard fight Is being made in behalf of justice for the small purchasers and great hopes were aroused by the pre-electon promises of Gov. Catts.
