Mr. J. C. Chase,
Orlando, Fla.

.Dear Josh:

Your letter of the llth a-dressed to
Atlanta, care of the Henry Grady H tel, reached
me last night. I did. not receive it when in Atlanta.

Regarding the drainage of the Everglades.
I think it is high time that a rangements should be
made to make united opposition to allowing the
political speculative tunch p .ss a law which would
penalize the entire state in order to make it possible
for sone speculators to rnak a profit on the drainage
bonds which they now hold, a well as the reclaimed
land vhich they imagined vws so valuable.

*The majority o the Representatives and
Senators who go to Tella' assee are not -Tosted on what
should be done in coruie tion with this Everglades
reclamation scheme, and are influenced more by what
somebody tells them th n by -what they actually know,
and off-hand they all eel that something should be
done. /

I am goin-g o try to wise up the two repre-
sentatives from Semi ole County, but as they are liht
weights there is no aellin, what they are liable to do
when they get to Ta rahassee.

I Yours very truly,





30CG:HIER.
