A carefully prepared busine: survey of the | state is published. It deals with perman- ent improvements in shape of rail- roads, highways, drainage of the Everglades, manufactures, fisher- i tate taxation, schools and col- leges, tourist business and other factors in Florida’s growth. It is shown that Florida has 5.2 miles of railway per 1000 inhabi- tants, more than any other south- ern state. Earnings have doubled in 10 years. A tax of four cents a ‘gallon on gasoline yields ap- proximately $8,500,000-a year for good roads, in addition to millions being raised by counties for this purpose in bond issues. Number of telephones _ has trebled in £0 years. Total bank esources of the state increased 153 per cent\in a year with only about one-third of 1 per cent of these resources invested in real estate, demonstrating the “liquid” condition of the banks. It is estimated $33,400,000 will be spent by Florida’ for highway construction this year. Florida state roads now embrace approxi- mately 5,564 miles. City and county roads probably embrace an equal or greater amount. The state has no bonded indebtedness for construction of highways, needed funds being derived from automobile registration, gasoline tax, automobile license tax, fed- eral aid and gasoline inspection. City and county road construc- tion are financed mostly through bond issues, sold principally northern bond barkets. A sub- stantial amount is bought by Flor- ida banks. For first ten months of 1925, approximately‘ $30,000,- 000 of highway improvement bonds were issued. These bonds are a direct obligation of the cities. ‘New Yards for Florida East Coast | Ft.

But most business men! find trade as good as it was this time last year, and so much better than it was two years ‘ago that there is no comparison. Predicts Rural Development | “The old Miamians put away cash last summer. They never! expected conditions to last. They knew the rush of business could} not last. Trade has turned to the| point they expected it would, and business is good. I expect to si the back country open up, becau: now people everywhere are look- ing to its possibilities. We are} waking up to the necessity and the} financial possibilities lying there. | Potatoes this year brought prices} that made people open their eyes. | A customer in the bank said that! farm land held at St. Augustine | which had found a sluggish market | \for a long time was now in de-|} mand. | “Miami used to ship many crati of vegetables. Lately people he have been too busy with real tate and development to ship produce. _ But, with added rail and | boat facilities, Miami ought to} ship five and ten times that} amount, and then would not come| near filling the market. | “I am certain the South will| have a much greater industrial de-| velopment.

Outlines Future on Industry | “Miami must have the labor| conditions and supply ready, and| industry will quickly find it out.) The back country will supply the| country with food.! People who want to live in Miami will find the work they desire. Industry will start in a small way in each line,} and expand as the labor supply! fitted for that industry is avail-| able.
