During the same time 406 commercial vehicles of all kinds were re- | corded. a total of 10,175 persons came down ! highway. That’s a’ thumping . itt dog-’ day record, Study of the survey figures — that of the cars bearing Florida licenses, 1,157 came from Dade (Miami) coutity, | Se 277 from Monroe (Key West), Hillsborough (Tampa), 87 from Broward (Fort Lauderdale), and 82 from Duval (Jacksonville). While Florida cars were the greatest users of the highway, 39 of the other 47 states were represented in the traffic parade from July 1 to 10, inelusive. Auto- mobiles with licenses for Georgia, Ohio, | Alabama, Pennsylvania, Illinois, New York, North Carolina, Tennessee, . New Jersey, Michigan and Indiana, in the order given, lead the iis Only cars originating in the great middlewest grain states were not represented. One of the important lessons to bé drawn from this mid-summer survey. is the would be useless in the planting or hatvest seasons of the various states, and (pro- motional work would be likely to be suc- | cessful at this time of year in the northern | states and in the southeastern states. | Also the figures clearly prove that | Floridians have time for vacationing dur- ing the summer months: and that many of them fancy the Florida keys. Advertising judicially placed in Key West, “Miami, Tampa, Fort Lauderdale and Jacksonville should also be productive. As the keys are developed along the recreational lines be- ing followed by the national park service vacationists, fishermen and_picnickers. These developments as they ate completed | * should be-emphasized in the . advertising and publicity sent to the areas from which thé great flow of summer traffic eomes. Spring, fall and winter surveys to be wit- dertaken by the road commission will show advertising programs at those “periods: of the year. It seems to The Citizen that the road commission would be serving the public interest in Overseas highway and follow- ing sound business ,practice if it turned a deaf ear to those would-be spenders of the cash surplus piled up by the district until traffic surveys clearly point to the spots where advertising woud be most effective. Advertising pays in direct . proportion to the amount of thought and study pit into determining where it would do the most good. ABOLISHING COUNTIES Governor Leon C. Phillips, of Okla- homa, is said to nourish an ambition to re- duce the expense of government “by con- solidating counties. Undoubtedly, the Governor has logic and efficiency on his side. Practically everybody in the United States agrees that there are too many counties. Originally developed in the area before the . hotse- and-buggy days, there is no reason for the counties except the unwillingness of the merged. with another-and the ambition of coultty politicians to continue their. terms in offiee. Sooner or later, most of the states of the union will reform their county-lines to fit with modern transportation and cora- munication facilities.
