Dear Dr.'Will: I appreciate the word about Belle Glade and the way Jameson impressed the church and was received. I will be unable to come to 4 Ft.La derdale, I fear, but eqn assure you that I will keep in close touch with your church situation. I asked Bro.Jameson to see Bro. Johnson and learn more of his condition and to perhaps get the parsonage key so he could stop there while in Belle Glade. I can not say just yet whether we can consider Bro.Johnson done. Of course officially he is the pastor until conference unless he health keeps him out of the work or unless he voluntarily gives up his appointment. That is, we don't want to take the iniative in pushing him out with the consequent ill feelings that may develop. It will be better for us to go a little slow about that, don t you think. In the meantime if bro.Jameson will continue with your work we will have a good chance to size him up and if we later find Johnson can not be back then we will -kciow whether we want to ask Jameson to take the work over permanently. I am glad you raised money with which to defray Jameson's travel'expense. I have sent Bro.Johnson some missionary help(to tide him along a while. If there is any new development after next Sunday please let me know. It is fine to hear from you again.

And the Back Qbuntry will then help the town. Lauderdale needs the Glades worse than the Glades need Lauderdale. Lauderdale can't live on tourists. SHE MUST PRODUCE. * 4That means her Everglades must be farmed. Then, as in Dade County, factories till follow. These will bring pay-rolls, and a YEAR-ROUND TOWN. But the Everglades must have reclamation funds. Hence the Broward Drainage District must sell its bonds. But it must first have more people and more values in it.' This the bond-buyers insist on. This won't cost Lauderdale one cent. It will cost Broward County one little mill on the dollar, About $7,000 or $8,000 per year. But the new taxes and new business this will bring will turn this little outgo into a BIG INCOME. Further, it will help put a foundation under Lauderdale, and make it a city. Do you know how the Everglades have been carrying the Coast? Do you know Broward's Everglades have paid in $700,000 or $800,000, most of which has helped build the Coast, rather than the Everglades? Do yofl know that, for 15 years, most of the 20,000 old Everglades 'buyers have been barred out from their own properties. kept froin voting, and taxed without representation? Do you want to keep this up? Do you know that, badly as. it hurts the Everglades buyers, it hurts you still worse? If you want to do justice to Evergladers and yourself at the same, time, VOTE "Y E S" on this referendum. Some have said, "We won't vote any more money to the old Board." But do you know that these men are all out? You ask, "Who will follow them?" I answer, "Let the Everglades, owners name their own board, by petition; and then let us all petition the Governor to appoint them. If, later, the Ever- gladers want these men removed, let the Governor remove them." That's POPULAR GOVERN- MENT, and it's the solution of this problem. a VOTE "YE'S." And then help the Evergladers get their own kind of a Board. THOMAS E. WILL, ^* 209 S. W. Sixth Ave., City. Wrigslt Printery ( W.

I wrote you on SFeptember 30th, to I'o. 625 Seventh St., 11. t., 'ashington, D. C., and as the letter has not been retwrne3d, I trust it was forwarded to ::ou. The article from the Hiiami Herald relative to the development of 70,000 acres of land in Eroward County, is, of conrye, interesting. I arn trying to get Ilr. Williams, whom I wrote to you about on Sept. 21st, to agree that wh-"n he is next in '7ashington, to dig into this matter along the lines vou have indicated. I am due for another interview with him within the ne::t few days and will tell you what progress is being made. Keep me advised of any new developments, in order that I may pass them along to those in interest here. I trust that your motor trip vtith your son was most pleasant.

My Dear Mr. Will:- I have gotten those interested in the 42,000 acre tract pf INerglades land, to let me make an effort towards getting the Federal VGovernment to build Road No. 26. I will have to work fast to hold their attention. First, they want to know how much bacataxes they owe and ap- proximately what sort of a compromise (not at once) can be workeAdput with the authorities. Our people do not feel at all alarmed but that, even if already sold at a tax sale, they can redeem the 1a4,. Let me mnow the Florida law on this. You no doubt have in your files all the tracts in the name of J,-Richard :K. LeBlond, et al, but I am sending herewith a copy of a plat you made for me- in 1926. I would like you to go, at your earliest convenience, to the Court House at Ft. Lauderdale and get the information indicated above, and am enclosing my check for $25.00 towards your travelling expenses if Y-they come to more let me know, I am financing this preliminary work myself, with the hope that it may develop into something worth while, and must ask your co-operation. Later, I may want you to cQpe to '7ashington, at my expense, to help me pick up the threads, so that if the "set-up" looks good we can put the "Big Guns" behind the proposition. The tracts indicated in blue make 20,480 acres, I suppose the balance of the 42,000 lie in Range 37? I depend upon your discretion, not to let the Court House crowd at Ft. Lauderdale know why you are getting this information, my thought being to work opith the Federal Authorities alone and quietly, until we have to secure ths co-operation of the Florida crowd,. That do you think? I have your last letter of the 14th inst., with newspaper clipping, telling of the '?verglades project of Mr. liossbarger of M.iami.

Will:- I have your letters of the 23rd and 25th inst.. I would be pleased to know when you figure on going to Ft. Lauderdale to get the information I asked for in my letter to you of the 21st inst. If the report seems to justify my going to Washington, I will probably do so short- ly after hearing from you. As I understand it, getting the Government's assistance in building road lo. 26, does not depend in any way upon the future action of Congress, it being at the Road Department's discretion. By the way, I saw in the paper the other day that General Lytle Brown, Chief engineer, ' had been deposed and another put in his place. -4 My thought in suggesting that you do not publish the reason for your getting the information, relative to the 42,000 acres of land, to the employees at the Ft. Lauder- dale Court House, was1that I thought some'lsmart people might think it advisable to get some sort of a title to a part of these lands, hoping to profit by the improvement we 'contem- plate, and making those who were instrumental in getting it, pay for same in reclaiming the land.

This letter is to tell you of a special Singletax meeting called at the home of Mr. and Mrs. walter N. Campbell, 1409 Newton Street Northwest, on Thursday, November 2, to hear Chester C. Platt, editor of a Batavia, N.Y., newspaper and former secretary to Governor Shultz of New York (who was impeached through the influence of the pow- ers that be, wasn't he?) who will probably report on the Chicago Single- tax Convention, held at the Miedinah Athletic Club a lovely buTiling. And a week from today Monday, November 6 (the day before those six States make repeal a fact) the next regular meeting of the Woman's Singletax Club will be held at the home of Mrs. Jennie Knight, Apartment 210, the Cordova, 20th and Florida Avenue. (Take Mt. Pleas- ant car to intersection of Connecticut and Florida Avenues and it is a few steps east.) I heard Platt at the Chicago Convention, which I attended in connection with a Y.W.C.A. six-day all-expense tour last month. We had four days at the Fair, and I tried to see the Exposition, attend the Convention, and visit Mr. Mackenzie's cousins, so I was divided in- to three parts, like all of Gaul, and was kept on a hustle. The cous- ins gave a family-reunion dinner party in my honor Sunday, with eleven at the table (plus two babies which almost made 16!) Our excursion left washington Saturday, September 23, and at 5 a.m. Sunday we were awakened by a crash and our train came to a stop with a jolt as the emergency brakes were thrown on. We had col- ;lided with a big truck carrying five automobiles, and the driver was so seriously injured that he was rushed to a hospital (we never learned whether he lived or not) and the front of the engine was demolished and another one had to be telegraphed for. The iron bar of the truck tore up tne floor of several cars, and put the air-conditioning system out of commission. The heavily loaded train, carrying some fifteen cars, was /going 65 miles an hour, and required nearly half a mile to come to a full stop. The landscape on both sides was littered up with splintered auto- mobiles, and we arrived in Chicago nearly three hours late. Marie Heath -2- attended the Exposition the week before, and their train, the "Liberty Limited", ran into an open switch, shaking the passengers up pretty badly but it is a wonder that it wasn't more serious than that, May- -be it will be after the 18th Amendment is repealed. Sunday was the dinner party and was devoted to visiting. My cousin-in-law and her husband brought me back about nine o'clock after which I promptly lit out for "Bughouse Square", as the park near there which is dedicated to free speech, is called, and there I attended four open-air meetings. Wish we had a little of that freedom in the D.C. Monday forenoon was devoted to a sightseeing automobile ride around the most beautiful parts of Chicago, including blichigan Avenue, the Lake Shore Drive and the newly opened Sheridan road along the Lake, v-where most of the celebriVi&agjincluding Amos 'n' -Andy) live; past the Saddle and Cycle Club, whose,,daes, owing to the depression, have now been reduced to 1500, the guide told us; and back through the Loop District, past iarshall'fIelds store (which was being picketed as being "Unfair to Labor"), and through the Chicago University site, with its 429,00i4000. worth of Riockefeller donation (small wonder noprofessor there dares lift his voice against the prevailing system), and arrived at the Fair grounds about one o'clock, in time for luncheon at the Italian Gardens. The af- ternoon was spent in si,-htseeing, but I left the party after dinner, to attend the Convention, as my hostess of the day before had expressed an interest in the Sinrletax (I had quite a nice little audience at the ta- ble to talk to on the' subject, and I didn't waste the opportunity) and Said she'd like to come to the Mlonday night session, which she did. I attended the Convention Tuesday morning also, and then left for the Fair which was where I made my mistake, I should have reversed my program, remained at the Convention Tuesday and spent wednesday at the 4air, but I reasoned that as the bus was to call for us at the Fair roundss that evening anyway to take us to the steamer for a three-hour moonlight boat ride, I'd have to go anyway but alas! soon after I reached the d'air grounds, it began to rain, and not a common or garden variety of shower either, but a downpour which lasted all that day and evening, so I splashed around without an umbrella, soaked to the skin, with chills dancing a tango up and down my back, punctuated by sneezes, but I had two comforting reflec- tions: I couldn't get any wetter, and I was wearing old clothes. If the buildings had been arranged compactly as in the other Expositions, it would not have been so bad, as I could have stepped out of one building and into Sthe next, but this was an Exhibit of Magnificent Distahces, and it was nec- essary to take the little tyu that made a circuit of the grounds, in order to get from one group to another nice for the bus company, but not so con- venient for the visitor, who had to choose between time and dime in order to see much. Of course the exhibits were wonderfully interesting and I only wish I had a month to wander around in, but, compared with the dignified - I ~_ -3- ,beauty of the buildings of Chicago's "White City" of 1893, or of the Buf- falo Exposition of 1901, that collection of cheap structures with their freak architecture and loud, gaudy, incongruous colorings, reminded me of nothing else so much as a country circus. It was jassz in art. One of the most interesting buildings was the Hall of Science, and I could have spent a whole day there, instead of the fraction of an hour which was all the time I could afford. Trying to see that Fair in Sone day was like sitting down to a banquet with but five minutes to eat. One exhibit which remains most persistently in my memory is that of drops of various liquids placed before powerful lenses and their images, magni- fied 350 times, thrown upon a screen. And after seeing what we take into our system when using vinegar and watching them wiggle I'm off that fluid for life! But by far the most beautiful,wonderful, and impressive thing Il saw while there was the Planetarium, a description of which, copied from the official guide book, is enclosed. And on the way back from Northerly 'Island, across the lagoon, where the building is located, I wasted nearly an hour of that precious afternoon waiting under a leaky canopy for a bus that wasn't too packed and jammed even to hesitate as it passed the little bus station. It's a good thing I don't take cold, or I'd have laid in a (beautiful case of flu or grip or some of those things that people are al- ways catching when they get chilled. If I took cold every time I got wet, I'd be in a bad way. Well, instead of the bus taking tie to the steamer for a three- hour moonlight trip, it took us back to the Y.W.C.A. in a pouring rain and we got a dollar refund on our tickets but I'd rather have had the trip. ihe next day was cloudless, but I felt I ought to attend the Con- vention, which was almost as interesting as the Fair and besides, I expect- ed two cousins-in-law in the afternoon, but they didn't come. At 8:30 that evening we left, and I left the excursion party at Akron &t 5:30 the next morning, taking a bus to Painesville, Ohio, to spend a ccuple of days with Mr. Mackenzie's sister, as our tickets were good until October 1. I hadn't expected to write anything about my trip when I started this letter my original idea was merely to tell you about those two meet- ings, but having got a start on the subject, I rambled on like Tennyson's well-known brook, thinking of you as being back inFlorida where perhaps you are, although I hope not. And if not, I hope we may see you on Thursday or Monday evening or both.

Will, Belle Glade, Florida Dear Dr. Will: I am enclosing herewith printed copy of Chapter 16090, Laws of Florida, Acts of 19553, relating to the Okeechobee Flood Control District. This Act sets forth the changes that were made in the Act govern- ing the District at the last session of the Legislature. You will note that the area of- the Flood Control District was not changed but that the acreage taxes were removed from a great deal of land within the District. The One Mill tax remains on all taxable pro- perty within the District. Very truly yours, OKEECHOBEE FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT By SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM WASHINGTON, D. C. November 1, 1955 Mr. Thomas E. Wills, Belle Glade, Fla. Dear Mr. Wills: Receipt is acknowledged of your letter of October 25 with reference to an old blacksmith bellows which you believe it might be possible for you to secure for the proposed museum col- lection. The thoughtful interest which prompted you in bringing this matter to our attention is very greatly appreciated. The responses to the publicity given this matter have been very numerous and from letters at present on hand it seems quite likely that we shall be able to secure by donation from persons in the immediate vicinity of Washington a sufficient quantity of specimens to make up the proposed exhibit. Very truly yours, A S REOALTV Wrm.^.?oland & Co. heaI s+ate. I8 EAST FOUPTi STREET FOURTI NATIONAL 1AN. BLDG. RooMs,.o.io,3 November 2nd,-1933. Cincinnati, hKio Mr, Thomas 3. Will, General Delivery, Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Dear Mr. Will:- When I returned to my office this afternoon at 2:30, I found your telegram reading: "Clerk requires hundred dollars deposit will be applied to taxes if paid says available bonds will reduce taxes about one half" and I replied at once, "Dont understand olerk's charge Writing you Special General Delivery Lauderdale". You and I together, looked at the tax roll at Ft. Lauderdale Court House, one afternoon some three years ago, and as I recollect, there was nothing intricate about it, each item show- ing the Name Acreage Valuation Rate Special Total Assmta. John Smith 640 This tax book was open to the public as I guess is the case in all states; it is,I know, in Ohiod As this.particu- lar land is held not in lots but in 640 acre tracts, I felt'it was not asking too much of you, under the circumstances, to check up in a more or less informal way,the 65 items of .aQ .acres each, to see what the taxes are,charged againsrthe tract. I felt that aside from some mythical value placed against the townships (640 acres) touching the canals, the whole of the balance would be assessed just alike, making a monotinous parade of some 50 townships assessed all alike. I don't see what the County Clerk can charge one hundred (o100) dollars for, if the matter be handled as indicated above. I can come down and get what information I want for much less money. Will you send me a night letter (50 words) collect, on receipt of this, letting me know the situation? e u ly yo /7 /CLASS OP SERVICE DESIRE DOMESTIC CABLE TELEGRAM FULL RATE DAY LETTER DEFERRED NIGHT NIGHT MESSAGE LETTER NIGHT WEEK END LETTER LETTER Patrons should check clams of service desired: otherwise message will be Erasumitted as a full-rate ommailication.

Letter sent via Miami by Air Mail, and supposed to reach General Jelivery, Ft. Lauderdale, on morning of 3rd. Whils I had been turning the matter over in my mind as to the most efficient method of getting Federal aid for the 42,000 acres -verglades Tract, it was your note September 13th from Washington, and subsequent cor- respondence which galvanized me into action. As I explained to you, I have sold the present personal of the Syndicate that this is the opportune time to interest Uncle Sam. I show m faith by advancing the barest expense (I'm like other Realtors, broke) to report whether I think Route 26 can be pushed over; first reporting whether in my opinion the land can be sold at a profit after the taxes and charges have been paid. To do this I wish an approximate idea of the charges against the land. If you will again read my various letters, you will see that this Syndicate is receptive but not enthusiastic. In order to show my faith in the matter (and you) I agreed to get certain data, to secure their co-opera- tion. Therefore I want to tell them, in a general or approximate way, what the taxes and assessments are. So I ask my good friend, Er. Will, to look at the tax duplicate at Ft. Lauderdale, not in an exhaustive manner as though the property were being purchased or transferred, but enough to get the tax obligation of a few sections in order to approximate the obligations on the whole tract. For example (see enclosed plat, original you furnished me ) get taxes and assessments on say, Sections 11 and 23 in both Range 37 and Range 38. Should you find any of theme Sections subdivided, take one that is not, Here, wiith the shape our records are in, it would not take over an hour or so to get this information, I certainly did not expect to put you to several days work in this matter and probably should have suggested in the first place, this "average" plan I am now suggesting. If the information can be given me in a telegraphic night letter (50 w.-ords) I woule be pleased to have same sent, collect.

I1 r 1E~iS j VOTE "YES" 'ON THE Broward Drainage District RAeferendum This referendum ought to carry, BIG. It's the ONE THING that will help the Back Country. And the Back Country will then help the town. Lauderdale needs the Glades worse than the Glades need Lauderdale. Lauderdale' can't live on tourists. SHE MUST PRODUCE. That means her Everglades must be, farmed. Then, as in Dade County, factories will follow. These will bring pay-rolls, and a YEAR-ROUND TOWN. But the Everglades must have reclamation funds. Hence the Broward Drainage District must sell its bonds. But it must first have more people and more values in it. This the b'ond-buyers insist on. This won't cost Lauderdale one cent. It will cost Broward County one little mill on the dollar, about $7,000 or $8,000 per year. But the new taxes and new business this will bring will turn this little outgo into a BIG INCOME. Further, it will help put a foundation under Lauderdale, and make it a city. Do you know how the Everglades have been carrying the Coast? - Do you know Broward's Everglades have paid in. $700,000 or $800,000, most of which has helped build the Coast, rather than the Everglades? Do you know that, for 15 years, most of the 20,000 old Everglades buyers have been barred out from their own properties, kept from voting, and taxed without representation? Do you want to keep this up? Do you know that, badly as it hurts the Everglades buyers, it h urts you still worse? If you want to do justice to Evergladers and yourself at the same time, VOTE "Y E S" on this..referendum. Some have said, "We won't vote any more money to the old Board." But do you know that these men are all out? You ask, "Who will follow them?" I answer, "Let the Everglades owners name their owni ' board, by petition; and then let us all petition the Governor to appoint them. If, later, the Ever- gladers want these men removed, let the Governor remove them." That's POPULAR GOVERN- MENT, and it's the solution of this problem. VOTE "YES."

JtL^ I HARRY LEE BAKER STATE FORESTER RENDERING ASSISTANCE TO THE LANDOWNERS AND FOREST INDUSTRIES IN APPLIED FORESTRY AND FOREST PROTECTION Proj. U'allahassee,Fla. State November 18 1 9 5 53 STATE BOARD OF FORESTRY S. BRYAN JENNINGS. PRESIDENT J. B. GLEN. VICE PRESIDENT STANLEY S. SHEIP. SECRETARY MRS. LINWOOD JEFFREYS HAROLD S. FOLEY Mr. Thomas E. Will Belle Glade Florida Dear Mr. Will: Applications for three loans for the purchase of self-liquidating forest lands were taken to Washington sometime ago and it has been necessary to revise the amounts upward in order to comply with the Public Works Administration's desire that at least 70 per cent of the total amount of the loans go to labor and materials. The applications have been taken to Washington again by Governor Sholtz during this past week and we probably will not know what success he had until next week. Should we get favorable action on these projects we will rapidly examine and submit others but we do not feel justified in spending money for examinations until we are reasonably sure we will get favorable action on those submitted. Our available funds are quite limited and the field examinations on the three projects submitted were quite costly. I am sorry I cannot give you any definite en- couragement concerning the establishment of a forest at the head of Lake Okeechobee. We have been offered a large area in that locality but I am afraid the price is too high considering the ability of the land to pro- duce revenue. Enclosed herewith is a small circular entitled "State Forests For Florida", which was recently gotten out for the purpose of informing the public in regard Forest Fires Make Idle Lands Idle Industries Idle Hands Stop FPrs, Grow Trem Keep Forest Land Working __ IYICII - ~ ` we are trying to do and how we propose doing Yours very truly, ( C.

I am doing this because you might have some difficulty or delay. in cashing a check, which ycu would not have with the Money Or,5er. I ami just in receipt of a telegram from the IT. S. Sugineer at Jacksonville, that he will be in his office on Friday, the first of December, and I accordingly will spend as much time as necessary with him on that day. From a Florida iast Coast Railway time table, which I have be- fo Ia me, I see th-t there is a train leaving Jacksonville at 10:00 o'clock at night, arriving at Ft. Lauderdale at 6:13 the next morning, If I take this train, it will save me a day, because the only other train is one at 8:45 A. ie., arriving in Ft. Lauderdale at 5:57. If the Broward Hotel is still open and running in Ft, Lauderdale, I would like to meet you there for breakfast, on Saturday morning,December 2nd, at eight o'clock. If for any reason, I am delayed, I will telegraph you at the Telegraph Office in Ft. Lauderdale. I do not know how much time it takes to go from:BelIe Glade to Ft. Lauderdale, but presume that you will make the entire trip by bus. If for any reason, you feel it necessary to get in touch with me at Jacksonville, you could write or wire me c/o J.iajor D. C. DLinn, 512 LDyal-Ppchurch Bidg., i'o. 4 Bay St. As I told you in my letter of the 25th, I will Wednesday evening, iNov. 29th. be leaving here Believe me, II I 1 111 1 I II 1 111 1~ '' lovv-6 ~~-~-~1.~~- -- 1. ` --~..1. ~-.
