was found that the cost would run at
least so pr cent over the anticipated
figure. This added cost, it was
feared, might make the investment
Improbable.
However there is possibility that
some change may be made in the
plans that may permit going ahead
with the building, or some smaller no
tell in place of it.
Mr.. Fisher has plans for the build
ing of Is or 20 residences, costing
from $4,000 to $4,000 each, at the
beach and on Starr island this fall
and winter. Some of these are al
ready under way, but the largest part
of the work is being held off until the
winter when labor conditions may be
more settled, mechanics will likely be
more plentiful, and the lively appear
ance which this amount of construc-
ton will give the peninsula will
awaken among visitors greater inter-
est in property in that section.

ways to the seas of the world, there
fore, are Southern asset, and an
American asset. Nor has the useful.
ness of Senator Fletcher ended with
these items to his credit. He has
been one of the most studious, intel
ligent and enterprising members of
the American Senate, and there is not
a piece of important legislation that
has passed since he went to Wash
ington, that he has not in some way
helped and benefited by his studi-
Gus attention to details.
There has not been an act which
was passed for the vigorous prosecu.
ton of the war, that was not helped
by Senator Fletcher. He has been
one of the staunchest' supporters Of
the President, in American policies,
and his service to his country has
been more worth while than that of
a great majority Of the members of
the United States Senate.
We feel just as much interested in
Senator Fletcher's reelection as If he
were up from Georgia, for while a
congressman represents a district, a
senator represents not only his State,
but his nation, in the broader sense,
and Senator Fletcher has been a most
useful senator to his State and his
Nation. He has been one of the most
active of the men in the United States
Senate to secure improvements of
Southern ports, and get ships for
them, since the war. He has been
one Of the most useful senators in Sc
curing equalized freight rates, which
will help the traffic Of the whole coun-
try by diverting much of it from East
ern congestion, and relieving traffic
in the North and East.

Senator Duncan U. Fletcher is serv
ing his second term in the United
States Senate. His long service ant
his ability have given him committee
assignments that are not only valua
BILE to Florida, but to the South. His
service in working for the system Of
farm loan from the government, we
now have, has been the best piece OF
legislation since the civil war, when
it comes to the matter of relieving
the American farmer from enormous
interest rates and limiting his capital
1t is the only thing that has been done
for the American farmer that gives
him the same chance to expand his
business, get money at, reasonable
rates, and make profit out of his
business, that is given to the indus
trial enterprise, or the business or.
SdnlZdClOn.
But the senator's unselfishness has
not ended there. Senator Fletcher
has served his State wonderfully we'll,
in securing government appropria-
lions for the improvement of Florida's
rivers and harbors, until today, that
State has three splendid ports, not
counting Key West, nor including
Miami, which is fast being developed
as possible port. These Florida
ports are southern ports, and add
that much to the drawing power of
the South, to attract Industries, be-
cause of the large number Of gate.

Union &C nmenting upon this expendi-
ture Of aoney in preparation for the
winter rites as follows:
The report Of the supervisig archi-
tect OF the Florida State Hotel Com
mission contains much food for
thought in connection with the rapid
ly growing tourist business of the
state.
This report shows that in four
months fromb pAril II to August H.
1919 there have been thirty-four per-
mits issued by ire supervising archi
tect for hotels and apartment houses
in the state and the valuation Of these
ia placed at $1S75,500. which means
that considerably over 100000 will
be expended by the owners before
they are completed and furnished.
Practically all Of these permits were
issued to people in tourist cities,
Miami st. Petersburg. Daytona, Or
lsndo' Sanford and Seabreeze being
IN the lead. Inasmuch as every one
OF these resorts has been building
constantly for years. this is remark
able record. It does not include many
buildings which were started before
April and a numbre which are now
being planned, SO It is safe to say that
at least three orfour million dollars
will be invested in new hotels this
year in Florida.
Florida can we'll point with pride to
its rapidly increasing tourist business.
Twenty years ago there were less than
100000 people who came to Florida in
a season. Now 1t is believed there
are more than million and from
present indications this number will
be substantially increased during the
approaching season. The number of
new hotels and apartment houses do
not begin to indicate the accommo-
dations that are being provided for
winter visitors and residents, as thou
sands of residences and smaller hotels
are being erected all over the tate,
which will be occupied by people from
other sctions Of the country this
winter.
1t Is doubtful If any other section
OF the country can show such build
ing progress and such rapid develop
ment either III connection with the
tourist business or in general devel- |
opment of cities. farming, live stock
and new industries. Florida is great
state indeed'-St. Petersburg Times.

Miami, Sept. High cost of labor
in Miami, coupled with sharp adj
vances made recently in material
prices, will probably hold up the
building of the two-million dollar
Flamingo hotel at the beach, on which
Carl Fisher and allied interests had
intended to begin work next month.
Information to this effect was secured

1t is reported that the unsettled con-

item of cost quite an uncertain guam

Among the most important amend

by the commission Friday night were
the provisions that any nation might
withdraw from the league on a two
years notice, which meets the criti-

the provision permitting the appoint
