Today some of those hotels are In trouble and there Is a shortage of money. At the same time Miami Is not pessimistic and there has been no let down In the elaborate plaas for the future of the city.

During the last year, despite the falling off of hue uess and the damage of the stornv public Improvements have been pushed. Vast expenditures are being made for streets, for harbor Improvements and on other publlo works. Has Outstripped New York. What Impresses the New Yorker most Is the tremendous scale of civic development to be noted here. Within five years this community has planned and carried through Improvements that it would take a quarter of a century to bring about In New Tork.

Great areas have been transformed from Jungle into well-ordered urban communities, with wide street, parks and modern facilities. The much advertised Coral Gables Is a tremendous development In Itself and fully lives up to ths attractive pictures that lure Northerners to this locality. As an Indication of the steady progress of Miami lt may be noted that more than 11,000 000 a month has been realized from Coral Gables sales during November and December of last year and the volume will greatly Increase now that the tourist season Is on. This Is far below the record of boom years, but lt shows that Florida Is not stagnating. On the contrary, the consensus down here is that the speculative Is subsiding snd a healthy, normal growth has taken Ita place.

Determined efforts to have a temporary restraining resolution passed preventing any further licensing are being made by Interested leaders In enjoyment for thousands who FLORIDA COMING BACK AGAIN WITH HURRICANE ENERGY Industry and Agriculture Trans forming State Into a Normal Commonwealth. By CLEVELAND RODGER (Staff Correspondent of Th Eagle.) Miami, Jan. 15 Another hurricane. of which the outside world has heard but little, haa visited Florida during the past three months a hurricane of energy and renewed confidence that rapidly sweeping away evidence of rormer troubles. Florida is coming back stronger than ever.

This is the conclusion of those who have arrived here during the last few weeks. It Is not an echo of high-pressure boosting and It Is not superinduced by maglo sunshine that dazzles visitors from less fortunate climes. It is based upon evidence from many sources, some of it of an unusual nature, since this erstwhile playground of alligators and millionaires Is quickly being transformed into a more normal Commonwealth, In which Industry and agriculture have Important roles. Romance Not Half Told. Florida's phenomenal development during the last decade is one ot the most dramatic stories in the history of America.

There Is drama also In the story of the boom that collapsed and the great hurricane that ravaged one of the fairest lands on earth waa tragedy of the most poignant kind. Tet a still more absorbing story rematnaunwritten. Lt concerns the way In which Florida has recovered from the twin disasters that at times seemed to threaten her very existence. Adequately to tell that story would take volumes, but lt Is symbolized hy the fact that overalls are taking the place of white flannels In large areas of Florida. Today the departures oi loaded freight trains are more common than the arrival of Pullman trains, and steamers attract more attention Blscayne Bay than private yachts.

In Dade County, where millionaires congregate In sizable mobs, the most populat arrivals during the past six months were a covey of 500 white Leghorn hens. Accepts California's Dcfl. Those hens reacted tavoraoiy to the well-known Florida climate and began doing their duty. The latest reports are to the effect that there are now over 1, 000 hens on this one ranch. Florida Is beginning to produce things worth cackling over.

What this means may be emphasized by reciting the bare fact that a carload of eggs arrives In Miami every day from California! Florldlans are rising to this challenge and are determined to remedy the situation at the earliest convenience of their Immigrant hens. It Is significant that Florida has become less of a beautiful illusion and more of a reality. That Is the main point about the new chicken-raising indastry down here. Florida is still Inviting tourists, but her chief concern these days Is to get down to earth, to develop her nat ural resources and make herself Inde pendent of the fluctuating tourist crop. The extent to which Florida haa developed her agriculture and in dustry within the last year or so is astonishing and eannot be visualized without extensive travel on both coasts and down through the heart of the State.

Next to the hens, Miami's chief interest at the moment is in the draining of the vast Everglades and In completing her harbor, both of which projects are now well under way. This of course does not fit Into the usual pfctures of Florida, but lt helps to explain the revival that has taken place In the last few months. A Great Celebration. By far the most significant development in Florida in years was the opening last week of the extensions of the Seaboard Air Line Railway on the East and West Coasts. Thla was celebrated In a way that left no doubt that Florida realizes the Importance of the new means of transportation that has been provided.

S. Davles Warfleld, president of the Seaboard, Inaugurated the new service by bringing down a special train of four aectlons loaded with bankers and prominent men representing 90 cities of the country to participate in what waa one of the greatest celebrations in the history of the State. The special trains went first to the West Coast and down the Fort Ogden-Fort Myers-Naples extension, then to Miami by-way ot West Palm Beach. It was an extraordinary Journey. At every station along the way virtually the entire population turned out to welcome the Warfleld party.

Until Forf Mvers was reached, this population was made up almost exclusively of people who are cultivating the soil or are engaged in industries. The new Seaboard lines open up much new territory and provide the first rail transportation across the lower part of the State. More Work than 10 States. The construction record of the Seaboard during the Inst two years Is without parallel. It haa carried through more railroad construction than haa been done In any ten States In the Union In the same time.

Th new extensions In Southern Klorldn, totaling more thnn 800 miles, represent an expenditure of approximately $80,000,000. This is President Warfleld's answer to the question, "What do you think of Florida's future?" Incidentally the opening of the new Seaboard lines was a great cer-aonal triumph for the president of the railroad. Itallroudlng In Florida has always been a personal matter. In large measure It has taken on the aspect of an adventure. Since the days of Plant and Flagler.

Florldlans have thought and talked of railroads In terms of personalities. S. Davies Warfleld, sensing tb'-has carried on' the tradition. He seems to know every one in the State and the greetings he received had the warmth and epontaneity of genuine admlrntlon snd friendship. He has a similar attitude tow patrons and employees, and the Seaboard, as a result, has a tremendous asset In the friendliness of the people lt serves.

They Have Faith In Florida, The Seaboard, however, Is not the only railroad that has been spending money in Florida. Within the last two years the Florida East Coast has expended $60,000,000 and the At. lantlc Coast Line has spent some $22,000,000 Irt double-tracking their lines and making other Improvements. From this it Is clear that the railroads that serve Florida have plenty of fnlth In the future of the Commonwealth. Here in Miami an unusual situation exists.

It is conceded that during the boom years Miami overbuilt in. the O. Polio Is a Brooklyn arrival at the Everglades Inn. Mr. and Mrs.

Would Pay for Itself. "Look at the magnificent new buildings that have been erected within the past two years on the Court st. side of Boro Hall, presenting a solid front of towering skyscrapers. Then Imagine, the Improvements that would follow on the Fulton st. side, If the elevated were abolished," he asserted.

"In this one block, immediately within the Boro Hall zone, there would be an Increase in land Value sufficient to more than pay for the demollshment program." Because of the structure, Boro Hall offers one of the most contrasting examples of civic development to be found In any metropolis of the United States. On one side of the huge new Municipal Building Is a skyline of modern structures, worthy of a community of 2,250,000 people. On the other side, in this very center of our boro, the development Is Zi years behind the times. "Actual demollshment of the elevated tracks ran only he accomplished after many months ot preliminary steps snd planning," Mr. James ssld.

"For this reason, I am emphasizing the necessity for a reawakened Interest in such a move, and the actual starting ot action toward the ultimate real. "Satisfactory substitutes to ampiy care for the diverted traffic must be agreed uponj and" such sdiiltlonal transit facilities should be under way at the same time as demollshment steps re taken, In order to assure no shortage or transportation.

The deadlock between th Dill and White factions Is further strengthened by the opinion of Representative White that public and Administration support Is behind him.

President vCooltdge's outspoken avowal of Interest In a bill similar to the White bill and his opposition to the Dm plan for an Independent commission is another Important factor. Whether the commission should be Independent or subject to Executive authority la the critical point Involved. Since the opening of Congress re-porta have been received alternately predicting optimistic hopes for passage of a measure before the close of Congress and equally pessimistic on the passage of any bill during the present session.

Because of the company's desire to maintain the record established by the Hank of New York and Its successor, of having done business continuously on one site since 1797, consideration was given to plans for the occupancy of 48 Wall while construction was under way. This proved Impractical, however, because of the foundation work which will have to be done and the character of the present building which dales hack from 1868.
