MILLIONS OF ACRES
COVERED BY FLOOD
Overflow of Drainage bitches
in East Florida Damages
LoWIand Areas.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MIAMI, Fla., october 15.-Drainage
bitches overflowing from recent heavy
rains caused an enormous lake to con-
verge on lowland sections of Miami
Hialeah and other points in this section
of Southeast Florida today.
Millions of acres were flooded by the
gigantic sheet of water, but the flood
was not expected to reach into Miami
proper.
Hialeah, in the immediate path of the
slowly moving flood, was faced today
with the prospect of complete evacua-
ton. With water already standing from
a few inches to several feet deep in
Hialeah, a suburb of Miami, an in
crease of six inches more would make
living there dangerous, said j. o. Frank,
American Legion off1cial, in charge of
relief work.
Emergency Funds Voted.
An emergency fund of $21 900 has
been voted by the Miami City Com
mission for cutting a drainage ditch
in the southwest section of the city
to reduce the high water and allow it
to flow more freely into Biscayne Bay.
A fund of 1000 likewise was appro-
priated by the city council for emer-
gency relief purposes.
G Carl Adams, engineering head of
the Glenn H. Curtiss properties made
an aerial survey of the huge lake and
reported that the west dykes of the
Miami Canal had broken in one place
to the north of Hialeah thereby letting

 This success enabled Clay to pur- chase tract of land 8 few miles southeast of Lexington. beautifully located. Here. in 1909. he erected a handsome brick dwelling. which ever after remained to him . be- loved retreat from energetic public life. He named it Ashland.
 The mansion originally consisted of a main building two stories and a half high, fanked on each side by wings the full breadth of the house though but a single story high. to which are attached the Us" pro- jecting to the front.
 The present mansion does not de- part materially from the original plan. although years ago. during the time it was occupied by Clay's son. James B.
