The Port St. Joe City Commis-
sion voted Tuesday night to pro-
ceed with preliminary plans for
construction of a new secondary
sewage disposal plant in the City.
Plans for the new system call
for a plant which will take care
of waste productsifrom the city's
industry as well ,as sewage from
the city's collection system.

ned at the directip.n o the S.tqte

questions to be answered were;
if such a project could be done
and how would it be accepted by
State and Federal boards.
About six months ago, Com-
missioner Bob Fox, who is in


charge of the Water and Sewer
departments, asked Commission-
er Tom Coldewey to approach

such a system while he dealt in-

Wes Thompson Comes Here


As Florida Power Manager


Wesley W. Thompson, Jr., has
been named District Manager for
Florida Power Corporation at
Port St. Joe. The appointment
was announced by J. F. Roesel,
Northern div ion manager for
the utility. Thompson succeeds
Robert E. Brunner who has ac-
cepted a position in the St. Pet-
ersburg service area.
The new manager has as much
enthusiasm for this area as has
many an old timer. According to


Thompson, he and his wife had
hoped to move, someday, to this
part of Florida, and were "de-
lighted" when the promotion and
transfer was announced.
Last year, the former St. Pet-
ersburg-based FPC e n g i n eer
taught a company course for
Port St. Joe and Apalachicola em-
ployees. He "fell in love with
this country" and subsequently
spent his vacation camping with
his family in T. H. Stone State


Park.
He said that the company has
predicted exciting growth and
progress for its entire service
area, and that this appointment
I has put him into the best part of
it. He also stated that much of
the $400 million to be spent for
new construction by FPC during
the next five years will benefi-
cially affect Port St. Joe. For
example, Wes announced that

president of the local 'Rotary
Club, and with other cl6b offi--
cials to obtain information on
the group's plans for its service
activities and to offef sugges-
tions on Rotary administrative
matters.
Mr. White is one of 298 Rotary
governors throughout tle world
who are serving as representa-
tives of Rotary International in
districts composed of ,member
clubs. Each district leader is re-
sponsible for supervising the
clubs in his area. Rotary, an in-
ternational men's service organi-
zation, has more than 654,500
members in some 13,752 clubs in
146 countries.
A member and past president
of the Rotary Club of St. Augus-
tine, he was elected, to office at
the Rotary convention in Hono-
lulu, Hawaii, in May 1969 and
will serve until June 30, 1970.

District has called a meeting.

Gulf County Board of Commis-
sioners.

Construction Company
Wins Area Contract

Ward Ridge Construction Com-
pany, of Port St. Joe was award-
ed a contract last week by the
State Department of Transporta-
tion for construction of 11.488
miles of road construction in
Franklin County.
Ward Ridge Construction will
construct the road on St. George
Island and at St. George Islafid
Park. The company's low bid was
for $409,985.
The project is scheduled to
be completed by July 1970.


two percent of the cost of the
system, or an estimated $60,000.
A plant to serve the city alone
was estimated to cost about $300,-
000.
The proposed ,system would
' handle about 60 million gallons
of effluent per day, :or, about!
'twice the present projected load.
This would allow plenty of room


for growth without enlargement
of the system.
. During the next few weeks the
Board of Commissioners will be
involved with the hiring, of an
engineering firm to draw up pre,
,liminary plans for presentation
to the State Board of Health for
approval. Much .of the planning
work has already been done by


the Paper. Company's engineer-
ing firm and has been presented
to the City for its use,.
Proper sewage disposal has
long been -a problem in the City,
with an. out-dated system that
was taxed tp, serve the present
population. Tuesday's move was
the result of' ome 18 months of
.planning and preliminary work.,,

It's been right amusing reading for the last week or
so about the bill that slipped through the last session of
the Legislature granting a tax free status to the savings
and loan people. "A mistake" said some; "the language
was vague", said others. The clincher of the' whole deal
was the most widely publicized excuse, "I didn't know
what the bill said."
This last excuse was probably more to being correct
than any of them. This happens to a lot of bills that
make their way through the, valley of the lawmakers, but
few will. admit it.
Probably what made this bill so well publicized was
the fact that it will cost the state so much money. Some
estimates, are that the boo-boo will put the state's already
precarious budget into the red.
It seems lately that those who said they "didn't know
what was in the bill" have had some of the same soul-
searching that Teddy Kennedy had of late and have de-
qided to change their story. One after another Legis-


An oddity has happened right here in our county as
a result of the decision by the Gulf County Commission
to proceed with the work of widening and re-paving the
road which leads from State Road 30-A (old U. S. 98)
to where it joins on to the St. Joseph Peninsula State Park'
road near the Coast Guard Station at Cape San Blas.
The oddity is that nobody claims ownership of the
road. -
The county, in realizing that the road was badly in
need of maintenance immediately as well as the exten-
sive and overhauling and improvements being planned by
the county, decided to call for the State to repair the road
to make it safe for travel while the' paper work was pro-
ceeding for the overhaul job.
The state replied that they didn't have the road on
their books, neither as a primary nor a secondary road.
This was strange, as virtually every paved road outside
i of one of the county's corporate municipalities is included

lators have begun to reveal the fact that' "I knew wi
was in the bill and what it said ... and I thought ever
body else did, too". Meaning, of course, that it is bet
to admit voting for a bill that may put the state's
nances into a troublesome position than to admit voti
for, a measure whose contents were unfamiliar.
As one commentator put it, "You didn't have su
as this with the 'Pork Chop Gang' ".
It just appears that the various Legislators have be
so busy reorganizing the state government into a hodj
podge of bureaus and departments under a single he
that they have forgotten the State of Florida and its '
fairs need tending to.
As a result of the goings-on in Tallahassee this spri

that the road was there and was dedicated for pub
use. ,
As likely as not, if the road were wide enough;
it was in good repair, and if nobody had gone lookil

Regardless of who owns thl, road, it (is in need

$2.4 Billion Collected
By State and Cities

All collections of monies by the
state and all the local governments
in Florida reached $2.4 billion last
year, 46 per cent more than five
years ago, the Florida State Cham-
ber of Commerce reported in its
Weekly Business Review released
yesterday.
iat "Taxes, charges and licenses col-
ry- elected by the State of Florida, by
r all the counties, districts and cities
ter within the state, are included in
fi- this sum," Ronald S. Spencer Jr.,
ng chamber manager stated. This a-
mounts to $384 for every Floridian,
man, woman and child.
lch Comparisons, between F 1o r i d a
and other states are possible only
when state and local taxes are com-
!en bined especially because of the
ge- imposition of taxes at different
ad levels in different states.
af-^. "Florida's per capital state-local
tax stands 32nd among the fifty
states," Spencer said. "This attrae-
tively low rankAs some consolation.
ng In addition.' Florida's per capital is
its presently increasing at a slightly
nd slower rate \than the average for
the balance of the nation." Spencer
at pointed out, however, that neither
'borrowings nor federal grants were
included in these state-local figures,
all of which are based on a special
U. S. Department of Commerce
study.
The $2.4 billion total in Florida
was made up of $707.9 million in
property taxes, up 47 per cent in
five years; $1.1 billion in sales and
his other taxes, up 36 per cent; and,
$584.1 million in charges, licenses
and the like, up 62 per cent. These
iad -tabulations cover .the fiscal year
or- 1967-1968 and include only a small
portion of sales tax collections at'
the increased rate.

if visited Forbidden Caverns, near
the Great Smoky Mountains, to
g, view the many'natural formations
aid in the cave.
Forbidden Caverns, a short drive
from Gatlinburg and Sevierville,
of Tenn., was opened last year after
two years of excavating and con-
struction work, in the initial sea-
son, over 52,000 visitors saw the
caverns.


It seemed to us at the meeting last Tuesday night concern-
ing the Oak Grove Water District and its possibilities of getting a
system a a much lower rate than the City of Port St. Joe offered,
that some of the people thought the City was trying to charge too
much for the desired service.
This isn't so, and we'd like to explain why.,
First, the cost of the system contemplated by the City was
practically the same as the cost quoted Tuesday night for wells,
treatment plant and sewage system. The whole difference was
that the City needed its money back, in 10 years. The proposition
offered by engineer Max W. Kilbourn was based on the Federal
Government giving Oak Grove a gift of half the installation and
system cost and .amortizing the other half over a 40 year period.
This makes a big difference in the monthly cost to customer.
As it is, the people of Oak Giove will pay a higher water bill
(based on figures presented Tuesday night) than do the people of
Port St. Joe. Figures Tuesday night showed that Oak Grove would,
start with a minimum bill of $3.00 for 2,000 gallons of water and
graduate down to 50c per thousand gallons. 'The City of Port St.
Joe water customers pay $4.00 for the first 3,000 gallons and the
rate graduates down to 25c per thousand. -
'We hope Oak Grove gets the water and sewer service. They
need it and' it would be to our .advantage from a health stand-
point for them to have it, We hope they don't go in over their
head to get it, however, and wind up with an operation that j q
burden financially and mechanically to operate.
In round figures, water and sewage treatment service would cost '.-
the average home-owner of Oak Grove $10.00 per month (baseit'
on figures presented last Tuesday night). An estimated 150 cus-
tomers were thought to be willing and anxious to have the ser-
vice. This means a gross income, of $1,500 a month for the sys-
te'n. The only question we have ,is, whether that $1,500 a month
can pay the one or two men that will be needed to operate the
system, buy the necessary chemicals, pay the electric bill, buy and
maintain a vehicle for service.and still make payments on the esti-
mated $125,000.00 loan. It will be cutting it close and .won't leave
much for the inevitable repairs that come from things mechanical.
The system is 'so engineered that it can be tied into the City
of Port St. Joe or any other new city in the Oak Grove area that
may spring up and become a new town in the county. It' would be
a pity to have a water and sewage system in Oak Grove, then in
a few years maybe they would desire to join another community
and have a system such that would have to be abandoned. This
is good thinking.
We say again, we hope the citizens of Oak Grove can get these
facilities, but we hope that the system will be such that it will be
self-sustaining and not prove a burden to the people of Oak Grove
or to the county.

I saw Police Chief "Buck" Griffin out and about last week on
his 'crutches and in his police uniform. It's nice to see you out
again, Buck, and hope you continue to progress as well as you have.
Buck doesn't have a chance to get tired though, because he
can't take a half dozen steps before someone stops him to inquire. '
as to his health and pass the time of day. Plenty of time to rest
along the way.

Myers said, 10to take into account
the longer period over which they
will be receiving payments,
Many of those now receiving the
disabled widows benefits did not
think they would qualify for them
when the change in the law be-
came effective. Some did zot apply


until urged to do so by family or
friends. Myers said. These pay-
ments can be retroactive for no
more than 12 months from the date
a claim is filed, and unnecessary
delay in filing could cause a loss
