This issue of bonds is an indirect obligation of the State of Florida as the State
is not only obligated by law to pay the annual drainage taxes expressly levied on
all lands owned by the State of Florida within this District but in case the drain
age taxes on any other lands in the District are not paid, the title thereto auto
matically becomes vested in the State of Florida in the absence of other bidders
at delinquent tax sale and the State is thereafter obligated to pay the drainage
"laxes on these lands the same as on all other -lands owned by the State within
said District so that in effect the State of Florida guarantees the payment of all
drainage taxes, and the bonds payable from said taxes.
The State of Florida owns approximately 1,250,000 acres of land within this Dis
trict valued at over $40,000,000 upon which drainage taxes are expressly levied
under the Statute authorizing these bonds. The District embraces 4,927,759 acres
in Southern Florida, including over 90;r of the three important Counties of Palm
Beach, Dade and Broward and a large portion of the five Counties of Monroe,
Lee, De Soto, Okeechobee and St. Lucie. The total amount of Everglades District
bonds outstanding, including this issue is $4,500,000. These J'onds are not only an
indirect obligation of the State of Florida, but are also a d'ect and general obli
gation of said District. '
These bonds are signed by the Governor. State Treasurer,' ,tate Comptroller, At
torney General, and Commissioner of Agriculture. The tftanagement and control
of said District are vested in these State Officials as the Board of Commissioners
of Everglades Drainage District.
These bonds have been validated by the Supreme Court of Florida, r.ach bond ha en
dorsed thereon the approving opinion of the Attorney General of Florida which under the
law makes these bonds incontestable for any reason except on the ground of forgery.
These bonds are receivable'by the State Treasurer to secure State Deposits.

' The cloud that appeared on the horizon of
the pleasant relationship between the Employ
ing Photo-Engravers of Philadelphia and the
Engravers' Union has been fully dispersed by
the sunshine of good sense.
The fine spirit of co-operation between
employers and employees that has existed here
uninterruptedly for twenty-five years asserted
itself and on Monday, January 17th, all Philadel
phia Engraving shops reopened and resumed
operations.
Philadelphia has for many years enjoyed
the reputation of producing the finest printing
plates known to the trade. Many of the great
improvements, new ideas and new effects in
engravings have originated with the men and in
the shops of this city. Hand in hand with high
quality has gone an ever-widening idea of serv
ice on our part and its realization by the clients
we have had an opportunity to serve.
The
Pric
of
Photo
En
graving is
Not
Goin
Up
The executives and tlie workers in this industry are
united in the desire to fully assist in a return to normal
business conditions. We all believe that this nation is
substantially and fundamentally able .to readjust and
to go ahead. We believe that as a people we are going
to make, market and consume more merchandise than
. ever before, and that thefpr3!cts of America's work
shops will find increased consumption abroad.
To this end the Employing Photo-Engravers of
Philadelphia, together with their employees, have joined
hands in a mutual desire to produce the best that in
them lies and to sell it as reasonably as possible.
Photo-engravings are an exquisite combination of
artistry and riiechanieal craftsmanship. The first can
no more be measured by dollars and cents than can
inspiration and ideals be constructed out of beef and
beans. For the second we ask a fair return on the
investment in plant and the most generous wage possi
ble for the worker.
wV'h at this time to express our appi
tVNJ Dusmess friendships that have started and
mattevd in years gone by, and we sincerely hope that
in the years to come, as our ability to serve keeps pace
, with our desire, we may merit continually increasing
confidence as workmen.
