The crews, which moved into West Florida late in March after completing the survey in Central Florida, have just completed the survey in Franklin and Walton counties. Northeast' Florida was completed in November. The survey will report by coun- ties on timber volume, species of trees available, growth qualities, and depletion from fire and cut- ting. The last inventory of the state's woodland resources was made in 1935 and was not in suf- ficient detail to permit planning on a county or sectional basis. The data compiled by the survey crews will be available to interested per- sons when the survey is com- pleted.

The representatives of throe in- ternational unions with 86 locals in 10 southern states agreed to ask for a "reasonable" general .wage in- crease, and asserted that the indus- try's market conditions and profits of the past year justified the hike.

Wages go to a maximum of $2.45 for the highest classifications of skilled workers.

Costin Jr., was instructed to con- tact the St. Joseph Land & De- velopment Company on behalf of the board requesting that the land company give the county easements for a road right-of-way from the public road at Niles to Lake Wim- ico. Mrs. J. T. McNeill and Pick Hol- linger also came before the board asking the county to build a road from U. S. Highway 98 to Indian Pass, explaining to the board the condition of the beach and the road that now runs along the lagoon side and behind the homes and cot- tages along that part of the beach.

McNeill and Mr. Hollinger to present' the board with right-of-way deeds for the proposed road and the matter would be taken under consideration as a future road project. House Given Bill To Raise Gas Tax Would Slap On Additional .Cent To - Increase Levy To Eight Cents A bill to place an additional one cent per gallon tax on gasoline and return the revenue to the counties was introduced Tuesday in the house. This would raise the tax to eight cents on every gallon. Rep. Leo Wotitzky of Charlotte, father of the measure, said enact- ment would materially reduce local property tax levies and "contribute greatly to giving Florida a better highway system. Revenue from the new tax would be distributed by the comptroller- in the same manner as the so-called "second gas tax," which is used by the counties to retire outstanding' bonds and to maintain and improve county roads. County Spelling Bee Held Here Last Night Hunt For Cash Now Big Problem Of Legislature Many Important Measures Still In Hands of Vari- ous Committees With cattle fencing and flood con- trol and public utility regulation still in the fluid stage, the Florida legislature is settling down in this last half of its 60-day session to hunting ways of providing more money or, in the alternative, of convincing Governor Fuller Warren and state officials that they can economize enough to take up the slack. Both'the house and senate have passed bills-to keep livestock off the highways. The senate bill, how- ever, carries out Governor War- ren's campaign pledge more fully by requiring all livestock to be fenced. The house bill, largely in control of the cattlemen, simply prohibits livestock .from being at large on the public roads of Flor- ida. These bills are now in the hands of a conference committee, and failing agreement between them, Rep. Charles Luckie of Du- val county has promised to intro- duce a whole new bill before the session ends. The vital issue of flood control is now squarely before the legisla- ture following speeches by U. S. Senators Holland and Pepper and a statement from flood control au- thorities outlining the -ecuiirements that this legislature mud-- meet if Florida is to lake part in 'he $208,- 000,000 federal plan. It calls for a yearly appropriation of $3,250,000, and in view of the care with which the field has been prepared there seems little doubt that this will be approved. Meanwhile, the Ever- glades- Drainage District will be gradually merged into some new lo- cal authority in South Florida after its $3,500,000 debt is paid.. The notorious bookie bill now is law and the bribery charges level- ed by Senator C. L. Alford of Grand Ridge against John Scruggs, the Democratic leader of Leon county, have been more or less sidetracked (Continued on page 5) Graduation Exercises Set for May 29 30 Principal Marvin Rooks states that graduation exercises for the Port St. Joe high school will be held May 29 and 30.

As The Star remarked editorially last week, "It doesn't make any difference from what sources new taxes for our state government cone--poor old John Doe Citizen will be stuck for the entire amount." IT'S A DIFFERENT KIND OF PAPER The Star doesn't bring you up-to-the-minute news on national and world affairs; you won't read in it about millionaire heiresses in Miami being beaten by their husbands nor of earth- quakes in California; world series baseball games aren't even mentioned, nor are the big college football tilts. You will find, however, news that is never in other papers-news of yourself and friends, mar- riages, births, deaths, school news, club news, church news, news of events that occur in this area that aren't considered important enough to he included in nearby daily papers, but which are often of great importance and interest to us here. And, too, you won't find the friendly rib- bing of individuals that goes into almost every issue of- The Star. The Star doesn't try to compete with nor to imitate any daily paper because, as a weekly with news devoted to a restricted area, our pa- per is a different kind of publication that fills 'a different need-the need to keep the people of this vicinity and former residents who have hied themselves to distant parts informed about hap- penings here.

Merchants Petition for Paving 'A delegation of merchants oper- ating stores on Reid Avenue ap- )eared before the city commission "Tuesday night requesting that Reid Avenue from the railroad to Fifth Street be repaved full width before further paving is done in other sec- tions of the city. W. W. Barrier, -spokegman for the group, said that the unpaved shoulders allow dust and dirt to enter stores, ruin stock, ,and create an finsightly appear- vance. The delegation was assured ;by Commissioner B. W. Eells that 'plans had already been formulated for paving Reid Avenue. Williams Opens Night Club Port St. Joe's first night club is 'now in operation at the Williams skating rink in Highland- View. Dancing is being enjoyed night and day with special affairs on Wed- inesdays and Saturdays. The new night spot is being operated by C. ,C.

Millard Caldwell has asked the house rivers and harbors com- mnittee to recommend reimburse- ment of the $200,000 spent by Gulf ,county for construction of the con- necting channel between the intra- coastal waterway and St. Josephs Bay. A recent repayment request was disapproved by the corps of en- gineers on *the grounds that the project was built primarily to serve the paper and lumber industries in Port St. Joe.

Total for 1940, including federal taxes collected from Florida, and the state, county, school and muni- cipal expenditures, amounted to $211,543,582, while the figure for 1948 amounted to $776,413,550. The .per capital income for people of Florida in 1940 was $523, while in 1948 it had reached $1,010. Per capital cost of government was $111.49 in 1940 and $345.05 in 1948.

JOE, pULF COUNTY, FLORIDA HUNT FOR CASH (Continued from page 1) into the regular -law enforcement channels of the capitol county. This legislature has now put into law the requirement that everyone must pay for damage he'causes as an automobile driver. The 1947 fi- nancial responsibility I a w was amended to require every driver to be financially responsible for his first accident instead of his second, and failing that, he will lose his driver's license for a year if he is unable to pay for the damage he causes. At week's end the senate had approved and put on its calendar a, bill to regulate privately owned electric and gas utilities. The house public utilities committee has taken a little longer to consider the matter, meeting with stiff op- position from cities which either own or hope to own their own light plants .and from the REA, which al- ways has opposed uniform rates in Florida. However, the chances ap- pear good for establishing state regulation of these rates under the railroad and public utilities com- mission which now regulates all other utilities in the state. The big undercover argument in the legislature is whether the state needs another $70,000,000 in new revenue for the next two years, as Governor Warren has advocated, to finance common schools and ex- panded old age pensions and im- provements for the universities and other state institutions, or whether the state can get by with no new taxes and instead economize suf- ficiently to pick up the slack in the -common school fund. While the senate finance and tax- ation committee is sitting tight on the governor's program and refus- ing to report most of his recom- mendations favorably, it also is giv- ing encouragement to the bills by Senator John Mathews of Jackson- ville for a one per cent transaction tax to yield $60,000,000 a,-year,-plus, a constitutional freezing of auto- mobile license tax money to finance some $300,000,000 worth of bonds to build new school houses, new roads and new bridges all over the state. In the house, Rep. Richard Simp- son's finance and taxation commit- tee is engaged in a letter writing contest with the governor over whether or not the departments un- der his control could economize fur- ther. The house committee is sit- ting tight on all revenue bills and has house 'approval to hold them al- most to the end of the session. The appropriations committee, mean- -while, is attempting to whittle off of its appropriation bill several mil- lion dollars, in funds asked for its common schools, notably in sal- aries for school boards, construc- tion of new buildings and providing supervisors for the counties.

Sikes was referring to the actions of negro actor Paul Robeson and others in praising communist Rus- sia and condemning the United States at the communist front peace conference in Paris recently. "People of Robeson's ilk who have grown rich here and now find so much at fault with our country, are perfectly free to leave and to stay gone," said Sikes. "America will welcome their exodus."
