A recent report prepared by the U.S. bureau of the census for the association reveals that fiscal aid paid to local governments by the 48 state governments amounted to $2.6 billion dollars in fiscal 1947.

More plausible, perhaps, is the explanation that the Negroes slurred the Spanish name, San Juanee, meaning little St Johns as distinguished from the larger St Johns River of eastern Florida. A local Florida movement, well supported at time^ would have divided Jhe state in two at the Suwannee river.
