KREHER HEADS NEW CONCERN
THAT ABSORBS TAMPA FOUN-
DRY & MACHINE COMPANY

Organization of the Tampa Ship
building G. Engineering company was
completed last night by the selection
of Ernest Kreher as president, Peter
o. Knight, vice president, and Max
Kreher, secretary-treasurer, at meet
ing held at the First Savings & Trust
Company building. With the formal
organization of the new company the
Tampa Foundry and Machine conpa-
ny goes out of existence, its plant be-
ing taken over by the new concern.
The Tampa Shipbuilding & Engineer
ing company assumes charge of the
property of Ernest Kreher on the es-
tuary (about forty acres), and will
have its plant there, taking charge of
the business formerly done by the
foundry, as well as going into the
ship building industry.
The board of directors was chosen
as follows: Ernest Kreher, Peter O..
Knight, Max Kreher, A. L. Cuesta,
Frank Bruen, T. E. Lucas, L. H. Nc
Intyre, E. H. Buffum and William
Forger, the latter of New York.
The company is capitalized at $780,
900. The formation of a shipbuilding
plant here has met with the heartiest
endorsement of local business men,
and t is predicted that the enterprise
will prove highly successful and mean
much to the city, not only because of
the added payroll, but because of the
advantages which accrue to the steam
ship lines entering this port.-Tampa

are to constitute the bill Of fare, a re-
Iecption by Mr.. and Mrs. William Jen-.

the leading hotels of Miami.
Governor Cats has been invited to
be a member OF the party and also to
speak at the banquet. The former
secretary of state may also make the
trip through the Glades and be among
the banquet speakers.
The Bryan reception will be held at
Mr., Bryan's winter home at Cocoanut
Grove. The commoner is himself an
Everglades land owner and enthusiast,
and is expected to make some interest
ing remarks on the subject of drain
age legislation.
Members of the party are expected
to arrive at Fort Lauderdale not later
than Monday morning. Upon their ar
rival they will embark on boats and
barges for Davie, and will spend the
ensuing three days and two nights in
the heart Of the Everglades, return
ing to Lake Worth through the Palm
Beach canal on Wednesday. Although
the North New River canal, which is
the main line of transportation from
Fort Lauderdale to Lake Okeechobee,
Moore Haven and Fort Myers, has
been accepted and paid for and is
marked as finished on the official
drainage plans, there is distance of
several miles in this canal from which
the rocks have not been removed, and
through which only boats of the shall
lowest draft can pass. This canal, of

We find the conditions at the Jail
to be in fairly satisfactory condi-

be cleaned out to decrease the fire

We recommend the installation of
