WEATHER BUREAU. 
Whereas, The Florida Times-Union 
and the Evening Metropolis of Jackson¬ 
ville, Fla., are publishing the daily 
weather maps; and 
Whereas, Such action places import¬ 
ant weather data in the hands of fruit 
and vegetable growers every 12 hours, 
and makes possible a wider field in the 
distribution and study of meteorology—a 
science so vital to the interest of this State 
and to the public at large; Be it 
Resolved, That the Horticultural 
Association of Florida hereby makes 
known its appreciation of the enterprise, 
and commends said papers for their effort 
in furthering the cause of knowledge. 
And further be it 
Resolved, That the Secretary be in¬ 
structed to furnish the Editors of the 
publications named with copies of this 
Resolution.

SCHOOL BUILDING AND EQUIPMENT. 
Whereas, There is now pending be¬ 
fore the Florida Legislature, a bill au- 
189 
thorizing counties to issue bonds for the 
erection of school buildings and school 
equipment, therefore be it 
Resolved , That the Florida State 
Horticultural Society heartily approve 
this bill and instruct the Secretary to 
send a copy of same to Tallahassee to be 
instrumental in the passage of this bill, 
that our legislators may be advised of 
the facts that we are strongly in favor 
of same. 
GOOD ROADS. 
Whereas , I learn with deep regret that 
we cannot hear Mr. Chas. H. Hoyt’s 
paper on “Good Roads” tonight, especi¬ 
ally as he came so far to give it, and as 
I am probably the principal offender in 
taking up the time I feel we should ten¬ 
der to Mr. Hoyt our sincere regrets at 
his not being able to stay long enough to 
give his paper, therefore be it 
Resolved, That the Florida State 
Horticultural Society regrets circumstan¬ 
ces were such that Mr. Hoyt could not 
deliver his illustrated lecture on “Good 
Roads” and that the sincere thanks of the 
Society be tendered him for his attend¬ 
ance at the meeting to deliver the lecturre.

GREEN FRUIT. 
i 
Mr. Hart: There is one other matter 
which I think should be brought before 
this Society and upon which they should 
take action. That is the matter of ship¬ 
ping green oranges out of the State. That 
works against us more, perhaps, than any 
other one thing, and I think some official
