Volume I
SOCIAL EVENING OF CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WIDELY ATTENDED
One hundred and fifty people at tended the evening meeting of the Chamber of Commerce at the school. house last Friday evening. Invita. tions were extended to everyone and many who are not members turned out. The meeting opened with a short business meeting at which there was a report from the booklet committee, recommending an eight-page letter with pictures of the town and a copy of the airplane map as well as a small amount of descriptive matter, an explanation of the proposed plan of having a booth on the highway next win. ter where oranges can begiven away, and an appeal for a wholehearted response to the mayors Clean-up Week proclamation.
After the business meeting vocal selections were given by Mrs. Sullivan, Mrs. A. B. Rowland, Miss Eleanor Upmeyer and Mr. K. N. McPherson, accompanied by Mrs. McPherson. Mrs. Henry S. Thompson exhibited the trained parrot which she has this summer which talked and sang to the audience. Ice cream and cake and punch were served during the evening, and there was dancing after the other entertainment was over.
The hall was beautifully decorated with fall flowers and ferns. The entertainment was under the direction of a committee with Mrs. C. N. Beecher as chairman, Miss Upmeyer being in charge of the musical program.
GENEROUS RESPONSE TO Town FROM NOTE owners
As the notes which the Town of Maitland gave four years ago to raise money for paving the road around the east side of Lily Lake and the dou. ble road along Maitland Avenue through the center of town are due in 1927, the town has written to the note owners asking if they will take 25% of the value of the notes and renew them for the balance. It was reported at the last council meeting that these appeals had been met in a most generous manner and that all who had been heard from up to date had agreed to this arrangement.
SEPTEMBER , 1926
PROCLAMATION
I, E. A. Upmeyer, by virtue of the authority vested in me as mayor of the Town of Lake Maitland, Florida, do hereby proclaim:
The Week of Sept. 6th to 12th to be
Property owners and residents are requested to observe this proclamation and arrange, during the week above mentioned, to cut and remove all weeds from fence lines and yards, to repair fences and buildings, to clear out all rubbish, and to otherwise improve the appearance of their property.
Rubbish deposited in piles at the curb line will be removed by the town truck.
The cooperation of all citizens is urged in order that we may maintain our pride in Maitland as a delightful and attractive town to live in and that we may present it in its best form to the host of tourists and winter visitors.
Signed E. A. UPMEYER. Mayor.
Attest: E. T. OWEN, Town Clerk
Town HALL GROUNDS BEING BEAUTIFIED
Work has been commenced on the grounds in front of the new munici. pal building. The ground has been cleared of weeds and a grass drive planted in front of the engine house. The Bermuda which is being used for this purpose makes a very firm drive so that it will be a help in getting the engine out quickly as well as an im provement to the looks of the grounds. It will not be possible to plant a come plete lawn this year but the ground is being prepared to plant Italian rye as soon as the weather is cool enough.
A row of poinsettia has been plant. cd along the north side of the lot and a hedge of hibiscus along the south side and the front. This work is being done under the direction of Mr. J. G. Friedland, chairman of the street commission.
The old jail building has also been torn down and the blocks will be used to build a pump house on the well lot. Where the jail stood a movable
NUMBER 18
COUNCIL ADVERTISES FOR BIDS ON PAVING
September 21 has been set as the day on which bids will be received on a 95,000.00 program for paving, curb, gutter, storm sewers and side. walks. This includes all streets which have been advertised, that is, the first section of Greenwood Gardens, a number of streets in the south end of town and the gaps which have been left in the business district Inter Street, and Packwood from Independence to Vanderpool.
A further special assessment of 7, 000.00 for sidewalks was authorized at the meeting August 26. This will be for sidewalks on the east side of Independence Land, on Packwood from Inter Street to Central Avenue, on the west side of Maitland Avenue from the sidewalk in front of the post office building to that around Lily Lake, and on other downtown streets.
The Council directed the town at torney to draw up an ordinance requiring that all dry toilets within a reasonable distance from the water mains shall be removed. As this might cause a hardship on certain land own. ers, arrangements will be made by which those who cannot afford to fit nance such an undertaking at present may receive help from the town, which will finance them on an easy payment plan.
The town will make all connections on a standard price or unit basis and will supervise the installation up to the meter.
The matter of taking out liability insurance for the members of the fire department was discussed but no action was taken.
Arrangements were made to clean up the town property during Clean up week, and beautification plans were discussed. It is the plan of the Council to plant a small nursery by the shore of Lily Lake where plants can be raised for town planting. This will be a good place for a nursery and will not be objectionable pending the time when a real plan of beau. tification can be worked out there.
hose rack will be erected on which the fire hose can be spread to dry.

The Maitland News notes with in terest, that the Clean-up Week idea is being generally followed at this time all through this section of Florida. Clermont has come in first, her cleanup week being over now and having been carried through in an efficient and organized manner. Orlando has appointed a twoweek period, the first two weeks in September. Doubtless other communities will follow this lead if they have not already taken steps in that direction.
It behooves Maitland to show that she can not only inaugurate but carry through the work of this week in such a manner that we can show the same results that Clermont has achieved and that Orlando will doubtless attain to. This can be done if we all help. Our town authorities will do all they can, but they have not the same resources either in men or funds that the larger cities have, and it is only by the aid of individual effort that we can achieve.
A GOOD UNDERSTANDING SAVES A MISUNDERSTANDING”
There is considerable confusion in the minds of most of us as to the reg ulations and practices of the utility companies, and consequently misun derstandings arise and people feel that they are not being given a fair deal This is a natural result of the fact that we are more or less at the mercy of these companies and when we do not understand their rulings we are suspicious of their motives. This at titude of mind can be changed only by a complete knowledge of the methods of the companies which we find in the case of the Florida Public Service Company, they are ready to present to us, as the following letter shows. This company is also endeavo oring to get in close touch with Maitland by delegating local people to look after their interests, having appointed

Dear Madam: We are glad to give you the information requested in your letter of August 14th as to our methods of handling the electric light busio ness in this territory and appreciate your cooperation in passing this in formation on to the people in and around Maitland.
In applying for service the prospective customer should make application for connection either through notific cation of the Orlando office by phone or mail or through Mr. J. H. Bennett of the Maitland Electric Company. Before service is connected a deposit of an estimated twomonths bill is required. This deposit has no connec: tion with the meter itself, which is furnished free by the Company, but is required as a guarantee of payment of bills. The requiring of a deposit is the general practice of utility come panies throughout the United States inasmuch as it is not possible to bill a customer for electric service until after he has had 30 days use of it plus the time required to make up the bill and deliver it to him. This requires about six weeks, which together with the 15 days allowed for payment of bill, allows the customer to get two monthsservice before he has made any payment. The Company pays interest on all of the customers money during the time that it is held as a deposit.
Meters are read once a month and bills sent out allowing ten days from the date of the bill in which to pay. Bills may be paid either at the Bank of Winter Park, the Bank of Maitland or at the Orlando office at 100 E. Central Avenue. The owner of a building or house is not liable for the bills of the tenant unless he specifically contracts for the service under his own name. When a customer leaves, he should notify this Company either through Mr. Bennett or to the Orlan. do office direct of his desire for dis. connection. The meter will be read, service discontinued, and his deposit returned with interest after the final
bill has been paid.
As stated above, bills are due and payable within ten days from the date of bill. If the account has not been received in this office at the expira. tion of that time, a second notice is sent out notifying the customer of the

Company on August 23, and it is further stated that the East Coast Bank and Trust Company, also of Daytona, will reopen during the first week in September. Dispatches from Daytona say that the closing of both these banks recently was brought about by oversupply of frozen assetsand not by any adverse local conditions. It is stated that these resumptions are on the plan of frozen depositsthat is being pursued in the case of other banks which are being reorganized and a still larger number of lately closed banks will similarly resume business.
The formal announcement of the American Bank and Trust Company of Daytona said that they would resume general banking and trust business and that it had temporarily closed its doors on June 2 in order to conserve the interests of its depositors and stockholders; also that since then the situation has been satisfactorily worked out as was anticipated, and the Hon. Ernest Amos, Comptroller of the State of Florida, has authorized the opening of the bank with arrange. ments being made for the issuing of certificates of deposit on the basis of the depositors agreement.
At an enthusiastic meeting of stockholders of the East Coast Bank and Trust Company on August 17 a new board of directors was elected to take charge of the institution when it reopens on Tuesday, September . It is stated that almost 100 per cent of the depositors have agreed to let their deposits remain frozenfor a period of six months. Outside capi. tal has been interested and the group of stockholders is increased. Over four-fifths of the 268 stockholders in the institution participated in the meeting.
The Bank of Osceola County at Kissimmee, Fla, has also reopened after being closed for five weeks, and the confidence in the situation was
immediately shown by the receipt of 100,000 in deposits in the first six hours of business. It is stated that when the bank closed it had 50,000 capital stock and 32,000 surplus, but the State Bank Examiner listed 27, 000 worth of paper in the surplus as questionable. Thereupon stockhold. ers assessed themselves for 25,000 for surplus, but since then the amount of questionable paper has been reduced to 15,000. Furthermore, they have increased the banks capital to 100,000 paid in, and a majority of the depositors have agreed to accept their deposits in installments for a pe. riod of 18 months.”

SOCIAL EVENING OF CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WIDELY ATTENDED
One hundred and fifty people at tended the evening meeting of the Chamber of Commerce at the school. house last Friday evening. Invita. tions were extended to everyone and many who are not members turned out. The meeting opened with a short business meeting at which there was a report from the booklet committee, recommending an eight-page letter with pictures of the town and a copy of the airplane map as well as a small amount of descriptive matter, an explanation of the proposed plan of having a booth on the highway next win. ter where oranges can begiven away, and an appeal for a wholehearted response to the mayors Clean-up Week proclamation.
After the business meeting vocal selections were given by Mrs. Sullivan, Mrs. A. B. Rowland, Miss Eleanor Upmeyer and Mr. K. N. McPherson, accompanied by Mrs. McPherson. Mrs. Henry S. Thompson exhibited the trained parrot which she has this summer which talked and sang to the audience.

The hall was beautifully decorated with fall flowers and ferns. The entertainment was under the direction of a committee with Mrs. C. N. Beecher as chairman, Miss Upmeyer being in charge of the musical program.
GENEROUS RESPONSE TO Town FROM NOTE owners
As the notes which the Town of Maitland gave four years ago to raise money for paving the road around the east side of Lily Lake and the dou. ble road along Maitland Avenue through the center of town are due in 1927, the town has written to the note owners asking if they will take 25% of the value of the notes and renew them for the balance. It was reported at the last council meeting that these appeals had been met in a most generous manner and that all who had been heard from up to date had agreed to this arrangement.

Town HALL GROUNDS BEING BEAUTIFIED
Work has been commenced on the grounds in front of the new munici. pal building. The ground has been cleared of weeds and a grass drive planted in front of the engine house. The Bermuda which is being used for this purpose makes a very firm drive so that it will be a help in getting the engine out quickly as well as an im provement to the looks of the grounds. It will not be possible to plant a come plete lawn this year but the ground is being prepared to plant Italian rye as soon as the weather is cool enough.
A row of poinsettia has been plant. cd along the north side of the lot and a hedge of hibiscus along the south side and the front. This work is being done under the direction of Mr. J. G. Friedland, chairman of the street commission.
The old jail building has also been torn down and the blocks will be used to build a pump house on the well lot. Where the jail stood a movable

COUNCIL ADVERTISES FOR BIDS ON PAVING
September 21 has been set as the day on which bids will be received on a 95,000.00 program for paving, curb, gutter, storm sewers and side. walks. This includes all streets which have been advertised, that is, the first section of Greenwood Gardens, a number of streets in the south end of town and the gaps which have been left in the business district Inter Street, and Packwood from Independence to Vanderpool.
A further special assessment of 7, 000.00 for sidewalks was authorized at the meeting August 26. This will be for sidewalks on the east side of Independence Land, on Packwood from Inter Street to Central Avenue, on the west side of Maitland Avenue from the sidewalk in front of the post office building to that around Lily Lake, and on other downtown streets.
The Council directed the town at torney to draw up an ordinance requiring that all dry toilets within a reasonable distance from the water mains shall be removed. As this might cause a hardship on certain land own. ers, arrangements will be made by which those who cannot afford to fit nance such an undertaking at present may receive help from the town, which will finance them on an easy payment plan.
The town will make all connections on a standard price or unit basis and will supervise the installation up to the meter.
The matter of taking out liability insurance for the members of the fire department was discussed but no action was taken.
Arrangements were made to clean up the town property during Clean up week, and beautification plans were discussed. It is the plan of the Council to plant a small nursery by the shore of Lily Lake where plants can be raised for town planting. This will be a good place for a nursery and will not be objectionable pending the time when a real plan of beau. tification can be worked out there.
hose rack will be erected on which the fire hose can be spread to dry.

The Maitland News notes with in terest, that the Clean-up Week idea is being generally followed at this time all through this section of Florida. Clermont has come in first, her cleanup week being over now and having been carried through in an efficient and organized manner. Orlando has appointed a twoweek period, the first two weeks in September. Doubtless other communities will follow this lead if they have not already taken steps in that direction.
It behooves Maitland to show that she can not only inaugurate but carry through the work of this week in such a manner that we can show the same results that Clermont has achieved and that Orlando will doubtless attain to. This can be done if we all help. Our town authorities will do all they can, but they have not the same resources either in men or funds that the larger cities have, and it is only by the aid of individual effort that we can achieve.
A GOOD UNDERSTANDING SAVES A MISUNDERSTANDING”
There is considerable confusion in the minds of most of us as to the reg ulations and practices of the utility companies, and consequently misun derstandings arise and people feel that they are not being given a fair deal This is a natural result of the fact that we are more or less at the mercy of these companies and when we do not understand their rulings we are suspicious of their motives. This at titude of mind can be changed only by a complete knowledge of the methods of the companies which we find in the case of the Florida Public Service Company, they are ready to present to us, as the following letter shows. This company is also endeavo oring to get in close touch with Maitland by delegating local people to look after their interests, having appointed

Dear Madam: We are glad to give you the information requested in your letter of August 14th as to our methods of handling the electric light busio ness in this territory and appreciate your cooperation in passing this in formation on to the people in and around Maitland.
In applying for service the prospective customer should make application for connection either through notific cation of the Orlando office by phone or mail or through Mr. J. H. Bennett of the Maitland Electric Company. Before service is connected a deposit of an estimated twomonths bill is required. This deposit has no connec: tion with the meter itself, which is furnished free by the Company, but is required as a guarantee of payment of bills. The requiring of a deposit is the general practice of utility come panies throughout the United States inasmuch as it is not possible to bill a customer for electric service until after he has had 30 days use of it plus the time required to make up the bill and deliver it to him. This requires about six weeks, which together with the 15 days allowed for payment of bill, allows the customer to get two monthsservice before he has made any payment. The Company pays interest on all of the customers money during the time that it is held as a deposit.
Meters are read once a month and bills sent out allowing ten days from the date of the bill in which to pay. Bills may be paid either at the Bank of Winter Park, the Bank of Maitland or at the Orlando office at 100 E. Central Avenue. The owner of a building or house is not liable for the bills of the tenant unless he specifically contracts for the service under his own name. When a customer leaves, he should notify this Company either through Mr. Bennett or to the Orlan. do office direct of his desire for dis. connection. The meter will be read, service discontinued, and his deposit returned with interest after the final
bill has been paid.
As stated above, bills are due and payable within ten days from the date of bill. If the account has not been received in this office at the expira. tion of that time, a second notice is sent out notifying the customer of the

Company on August 23, and it is further stated that the East Coast Bank and Trust Company, also of Daytona, will reopen during the first week in September. Dispatches from Daytona say that the closing of both these banks recently was brought about by oversupply of frozen assetsand not by any adverse local conditions. It is stated that these resumptions are on the plan of frozen depositsthat is being pursued in the case of other banks which are being reorganized and a still larger number of lately closed banks will similarly resume business.
The formal announcement of the American Bank and Trust Company of Daytona said that they would resume general banking and trust business and that it had temporarily closed its doors on June 2 in order to conserve the interests of its depositors and stockholders; also that since then the situation has been satisfactorily worked out as was anticipated, and the Hon. Ernest Amos, Comptroller of the State of Florida, has authorized the opening of the bank with arrange. ments being made for the issuing of certificates of deposit on the basis of the depositors agreement.
At an enthusiastic meeting of stockholders of the East Coast Bank and Trust Company on August 17 a new board of directors was elected to take charge of the institution when it reopens on Tuesday, September . It is stated that almost 100 per cent of the depositors have agreed to let their deposits remain frozenfor a period of six months. Outside capi. tal has been interested and the group of stockholders is increased. Over four-fifths of the 268 stockholders in the institution participated in the meeting.
The Bank of Osceola County at Kissimmee, Fla, has also reopened after being closed for five weeks, and the confidence in the situation was
immediately shown by the receipt of 100,000 in deposits in the first six hours of business. It is stated that when the bank closed it had 50,000 capital stock and 32,000 surplus, but the State Bank Examiner listed 27, 000 worth of paper in the surplus as questionable. Thereupon stockhold. ers assessed themselves for 25,000 for surplus, but since then the amount of questionable paper has been reduced to 15,000. Furthermore, they have increased the banks capital to 100,000 paid in, and a majority of the depositors have agreed to accept their deposits in installments for a pe. riod of 18 months.”
