Water-fillad, it ranges in depth
from 10 to % feet, and stretches
alongside the highway almost the
entire portion between the Allan

was dug with the double purpose
of furnishing material and drain
ing the highway.
The principal safety problem
is to prevent automobiles out of
control from plung.ng into the
water. A cteel parrier along the
canal side is the most-discussed
remedy but Edmund s. Freedman,
county engineer, has estimated one
would cost $1,265, 900. The State
Road Department has before it a
proposal to construct a barrier
with discarded trolley rails.
Officials have declared that the
highway in itself IS not unusually
dangerous but that the long, level
stretches of straightaway tempt
motorists to unsafe speeds. The
pavement, now nine years cd, is
wavy and rough in spots, with UNI
expected bumps which might throw
a car out of control if hit at high
speed.
Sheriff D. G. Coleman said his
investigation showed most acci-
dents due to excessive speed. 9th
ers have reported the same find

means of preventing automobiles

Seventeen Killed

The greatest loss Of life in a
single accident was last January
% when Tampa-bound bus plung-
ed into the water. Seventeen of
its 80 occupants were drowned.
1t was that tragedy that spurred
officials to renewed safety ef-
forts. But a greater toll has been
taken in less spectacular accidents
in which one, two or three lost
their lives.
The Tamiami Trail had its be-
ginning back in 1915, but it was
more than 10 years later that the
state entered the picture and a
major effort was made to com
plete it.
Construction crews had to wade
through miles of water, mud and
sawgrass. For many miles the
only material. ohtainable was rock
blasted from the coral floor of the
Everglades. sn ,"
Sickness at times took a toll of
as high as q third of the workers,
but the project was completed
without the loss of a single life or
man being permanently disabled.
With the Tamami Trails open
ing motorists not only had a di-
rect road between Tampa and Mi
ami but had opened to them a vast
region OF the Everglades which
had been seen only by the native
Seminole Indians and hunters.
The region is covered with lush
tropical vegetation and flowers,
and is rich in wild life. Thousands
of birds and animals, protected by
game laws, are to be seen from ths
highway.
The name Tamiami was formed
by combining the words Tampa
and Miami.
