Favorable Reports Regarding Florida Roads.
The friends of Maj. B. s. Henning, formerly
general manager of the l., B. & W., will be graf
ified to learn that the system of roads in Florida
of which he is president is doing good business,
and that the investment is proving profitable
one to the parties interested. The lumber inter
est, which has been in a depressed condition for
two years is coming out from under q cloud
and promises to be valuable auxiliary to their
traffic. the property is carried at paying rates.
Then, from the shipments OF fruits and vegeta
bles the company is deriving handsome rev.
enue, which class of business will increase
largely from year to year, as the country becomes
settled. Major Henning has spent several
months in Florida, and, while there, he has been
enabled to ascertain the needs of the shipper,
and where 1T will be for the best interest of
the roads to offer the largest facilities to build
up their local as well as through traffic.
