MAITLAND PLANS BIG THINGS FOR 1926
GREAT INCREASE IN BUILDING The following comparative table of building permits for Orlando, Win. ter Park and Maitland, issued in 1925 and 1926 will give some idea of the increase of business during the past year. These figures are good only for purposes of comparison, as the amounts entered in building permits fall far below the actual cost of construction. ORLANDO April, 1925, 393,930.00; April, 1926, to 19th only, 537,595.00. WINTER PARK January, February and March, 1925, 87,000.00; January, February and March, 1926, 468,000.00. MAITLAND Year, 1925, 85,225.00; To April 19, 1925, 23,175,00; To April 19, 1926, 54,050.00. AUTOTAG slog AN CONTEST ANNOUNCED Mr. L. L. Coudert, president of the Maitland Chamber of Commerce has offered a cash prize of 5.00 for the best slogan for the town of Mait
land. The following rules govern the
contest:
1. The slogan may be of one or
more words, but must contain not more than fifteen letters in all 2. All slogans must be in the hands of the secretary, E. T. Owen, on or before Tuesday, May . Already submitted are: Gate City. City of Wisdom. City of Kindness. Town of Lakes. Best of Towns. City of Orange. A Beauty Spot. A Growing City.
AMERICAN FRUIT GROWERS TO Build New pacKING HOUSE We are glad to be able to announce with the authority of Mr. Frank L. Skelly, manager of the American Fruit Growers, that the company will open in Maitland a new and uptodate packing house completely equip
water struck in Maitland WELL After three weeks continuous drill. ing, water was struck in the Maitland municipal well on April 16, at a depth of 410 feet, with a flow of 299.86 gallons a minute. This is the full capacity of our pumping out. fit, and it is estimated that the well could furnish over 600 gallons a ute with a stronger pumping outfit. The water stands at 26 feet three inches and is lowered 15.53 inches under constant pumping, rising again to 28 feet in one minute after the pumping ceases. The drilling for the first 100 feet was rapid, there being sand for 45 feet, then a mixture of shell, gravel, mud and sand to a depth of 70 feet, after which all trace of sand was lost and there was pure gumbo mud. In the second stratum an interesting collection was found of shell, star fish, sharks teeth and other sea ob jects. At 96 feet rock was struck, first two feet of black rock, with a one foot cavity of water above the lime. stone stratum which has continued in varying degrees of hardness down to the full depth of the well. A fifteen inch pipe was driven down 105 feet 6 inches, entering the limestone and sealing off the first cavity as it contained surface water. Two other water pockets found in the limestone feed into the well aug. menting the main supply. Through the limestone there is no pipe neces: sary, the sides of the fifteen inch drill being formed by the rock itself. The water is soft, clear and taste. less, apparently free from mineral deposits. Samples have been sent to Tallahassee for analysis and testing, and it is expected that the full report will be ready before we go to press,
ped with modern machinery in time for next years citrus season. All residents and well-wishers of Maitand will realize the importance of this announcement, as the loss of the
ackinghouse would be a serious to our prosperity.
Mayor Outlines Plans of Council for Coming Year
Mayor E. A. Upmeyer, at the Municipal Reception, gave a resume of the work of the Council during the past year and outlined the proposed plan of work for the coming term. According to this plan the chief work of the Town in addition to regular routine work will fall under the fol. lowing heads: Completion of the initial paving project, including all streets for which the town bonded last year. Contracting for new paving on the special assessment plan, for which a number of petitions have been accepted. Institution of a program of side. walk construction. Completion of project. Installation of a system of street cleaning and garbage removal. Beautification of Lily Lake. Improvement of the central park. Proper upkeep of the cemetery, including the installation of a water system and a plan for perpetual up. Codification of the town ordinances and printing of same. Securing abstracts and perfecting title on all lands owned by the town. Construction of a new town hall. Organization of a volunteer fire department. This is an ambitious program, but considering what has been already accomplished and the personnel of the town officials, there is every reason to believe that it will be done and well done, provided every citizen gives his full support and assistance.

what makes A GOOD subDivision? Any land can be subdivided, in fact so can water, but there are cer. tain fundamental requirements for a GOOD subdivision, which in our limited space we can barely mention. These fundamental requirements should, however, be carefully considered by anyone considering invest. ment in a residential lot particularly. First there is location. Is the land suitable for the purpose? If it is to be a residential community it should be close enough to the business center to be accessible by good roads and sidewalks. It must be high and dry and not exposed to objectionable smoke, smells and noises. It must be fit to live in” Second there must be comprehensive plan for streets, park areas and properly located homesites. Every lot should be so planned as to be available for a home of beauty and comfort. Every lot should have a pleasant outlook on its neighbors. Third, to preserve this plan and perpetuate the desirability of the com: munity there must be restrictions wisely drawn and adequately administered. They must be written into the deeda covenant with the developer, your neighbors and yourself before you build your home, and not wished for afterward. Fourth, a subdivision must be ade

quately financed to ensure the car. rying out of the promises of the developer and to assure you of the future home your family has a right to expect. Your title must be good, and you must have a pride in saying, I live in Suchand-Such Heights, Soand So are the developers. If you are looking for a homesite, go to see them they will treat you right." Fifth, you should expect your modern good subdivision to have wide and properly paved streets, permament curbing, drainage and sidewalks, water and electricity available to every lot, preferable on the back lot lines, street lights and a complete system of beautifully landscaped parkways with abundant shade trees.
COUNCIL DISPOSES OF 540,000.00 waterworks bond issue
At the meeting of the Town Council on Thursday, April 15th, water. works bonds in the amount of 40, 000.00 were sold to the highest bid. der, Wright-Warlow Company of Orlando, Florida. It is understood that a very satisfactory price was ob. tained for these bonds, higher in fact than that obtained by many other Florida cities in the past few months.

VoluntE I

Greenwood Gardens Opens April 15th
Matt LAND To HAVE MODERN FIRE DEPARTMENT
Resolved that immediate steps should be taken to lessen the liability of a repetition of the recent destruc. tive fire which on the evening of March 15 destroyed the buildings of the American Fruit Growers and the Maitland Lumber Company, the re. tiring Town Council at its last meeting took definite action toward the organization and equipment of a modern fire fighting department by the purchase of a modern automatic fire engine from the Boyer Fire Engine Company of Logansport, Indiana, and soo feet of fire hose from the Eureka Fire Hose Company. The fire engine is mounted on a standard Reo Speedwagonchassis, thereby assuring immediate local repair work or replacement of parts in case of accident or breakdown. It is equipped with double chemical tanks so constructed that one can be recharged while the other is in action, thereby assuring a steady and uninterrupted supply of chemicals. The pumps will have a capacity in excess of 350 gallons of water per minute and will throw three one and one fourth inch streams over a hundred foot high building within the next few days the Council will begin the organization of a volunteer fire department consisting of a chief, two assistant chiefs and nine firemen with an auxiliary or ganization of alternates to act in case of the absence of any members. with the placing of hydrants at all the important street intersections throughout the town and of fire plugs around the many lakes, the modern waterworks plant now being installed and the fire fighting apparatus as above outlined, Maitland will have one of the best equipped fire depart ments of any town of its size in the
state. The Town Council is to be con
gratulated upon its progressive action in the matter.
Town COUNCIL closes EvenT. FUL YEAR
One of the busiest and most fruit. ful years of the Maitland Town Council has just come to an end by the installation of the new Mayor and Councilmen on the evening of March 25. At this meeting the out going Council composed of Mayor J. A. Brown and councilmen C. J. Woodward, Kenneth N. McPherson, Joseph H. Bennett, E. A. Upmeyer and Albert N. Pettis turned over the affairs of the town to the new Count cil composed of E. A. Upmeyer as Mayor and J. A. Brown, S. B. Hill . C. J. Woodward, Joseph G. Fried land and F. H. Manning as council 11-11.
Among the outstanding achieve ments of the outgoing Council are the disposal of a sits,000.00 bond issue, and the subsequent paving of all the principal streets in the town, the dredging and bulkheading of Lily Lake and the purchase and improve ment of a new Central Municipal Park, the passage of a 40,000.00 bond issue and the subsequent instal lation of a modern and comprehensive water system; the purchase of modern automatic fire fighting equipment and the starting of a modern and efficient fire department; the installation of a White Way two miles long along the Dixie Highway from the south corporate limit to the north corporate limit, the securing of a right-of-way one hundred feet wide through the corporate area for State Road No. 3, thereby assuring Maitlands future by making her the only town on that highway between Sanford and Or. lando, and the creating of the officers of resident Town Surveyer and res. ident Attorney.
The new Council has ahead of it the many propositions confronting al growing towns, but with the cooper ation of the townspeople 97% of whom are estimated as being whole
heartedly in favor of progress and the
record of the past council as an example to emulate, there is every prospect that all problems and difficulties will be met in characteristic Maitland
style.
Sales of Mainlands First Large Residen. tial Subdivision to start with Formal Opening
The Maitland Realty Company an nounces today the formal opening of Greenwood Gardens on Thursday, April 15. This development, extend ing along the Dixie Highway from the north limits of the business district to the northern boundary of the town, is the first large residential subdivision to be offered in Maitland.
The entire development of approxi mately 150 acres is on high land covered with pine and oak, except for the forty acres in grove it touches four lakes and has 500 feet of front age on the Dixie Highway, thus make ing it possible to offer purchasers a great diversity both in character, location and price.
This development has been in prep. aration for the past year and there have been a number of predevelop ment sales, with three residences al ready under construction, but the Maitland Realty Company who are the developers have not placed the property generally on the market until the plan of the entire development was ready.
The first section extending from Sybelia Avenue north to Marion way is now platted and ready for sale, and reservations will be taken on the second section comprising all the other land east of the Dixie from Marion Way to the north end of town.

We have long felt the need of getting in closer touch with the people of Maitland so that we may better understand each other and the things for which we are all striving.
To that end we determined to send out periodically a trade letter or house organ. In considering this idea and talking it over with friends we thought we might enlarge it some what and make the publication a com: munity newspaper of more general in terest and give our fellow business men an opportunity to reach the townspeople at the same time. Their response to our invitation has been most gratifying and the financial aid thus secured will be a material help in defraying a part of the cost of printing.
Arrangements have been made to publish the Maitland News regularly twice a month. We are sending the paper to members of the Chamber of Commerce, resident and non-resident property owners and others who we think will be interested in news of Maitlands development. We will be glad to enlarge this list by including names of a limited number of your friends who you feel would be interested. It is the hope of the editors that the townspeople will make use of our columns in announcing meet ings and reporting items of general and personal interest.

Sentiment regarding the necessity of a hotel in Maitland crystalized at the Chamber of Commerce meeting in the appointment of a committee con sisting of R. A. Wheeler, J. H. Hill and S. J. Stiggins to obtain subscriptions for stock for a hotel. 3000.00 was subscribed immediately, which sum has been increased to 6,000.00 as we go to press. The site has not yet been selected but tentative plans submitted by architect F. T. Marsh call for a hotel of twenty rooms, with restaurant and offices on the first floor.

Maitland: FIRST, LAST, AND ALL THE TIME:
The Bank of Maitland, our newest business institution, is demonstratinga fine spirit in promoting cooperation and a tradeat-homespirit, as evi. denced by their mailing to pay trons a card bearing the following message: Do you realize that when you spend a dollar away from Mait land that dollar is forever lost to the Town? It is gone, and will never return. On the other hand, when you spend your dollar in your own town it continues to do its part in the development of the town. It gives the merchant with whom you spend it his profit, it goes to the bank. The bank makes a profit of that dollar by lending it to someone else in the town who, in turn, makes his profit by making good use of that dollar. Do you see the difference? Your local merchants can probably give you the same goods you may be getting else. where, and at the same price. Remember that every dollar you spend at home is not a dol. lar lost, but one that goes ondo ing its duty in building up the town. We wish to take this oppor: tunity to thank you for the busi. ness you have given this institu. tion, and to assure you that we will do our best to merit a continuance of your patronage. BANK OF MAITLAND.
The annual meeting of the Needlework Guild was held at Under Oaks on last Monday afternoon. A report was made of the work done by the Maitland Auxiliary during the past year as well as the garments turned in by the members of the Guild. The absence of Mrs. L. P. Bronson, who has been president since the beginning of the Branch twenty-seven years ago, and is now suffering from a serious fall, was deeply felt by all present

Home People
- They Deserve The Best
Homes are the basis of American independence and prosperity, and nowhere else in America do we find a finer home community than Orange County, Florida, nor a finer suburban town than Maitland.
On April 15th will be opened to the public the first section of Greenwood Gardens, Maitlands beautiful homesite development. Two years have been spent in planning this community for our home people. During this time little has been said of Greenwood Gardens, but no expense has been spared in securing the counsel and services of experts in landscaping and modern subdivision engineering, with the result that every homesite in Greenwood Gardens, while maintaining and emphasizing the beauty of its own natural setting, has been provided with every facility and convenience of the modern suburb.
We invite you to investigate these modern homesites and see for yourselves the advantages of living in Greenwood Gardens. For those of our townspeople who want a real home of their
own we have a plan that will help you get it you
Lots are all ample and well located. Prices are reasonable. We are giving special generous dis. counts to those who choose their homesites now and assist us in building up Maitlands first com: plete residential suburb.
YOU want to know about ANY good thing for Maitland.
