OUTLOOK ON RETURN TO
TALLAHASSEE
esq >c,aI to The c,tir-n,

TALLAHASSEE, Sept. Is
There is every reason to believe
that the forthcoming tourist
season will be the best in the
history of Florida as a winter
playground, according to Hunter
G.. Johnson, state hotel commits
sioner, who has Just returned
to Tallahassee from an extended
tour of the state.
During his tour, Mr.. johnson
discussed the outlook with hum
dreds of hotel and apartment
house men as well as managers
of motor camps, roornfng houses
and restaurants and Wide-awake
secretaries of chambers of
commerce who keep in close
touch with the situation.
4 found everybody in a fine
frame Of. mind regarding the
prospects for good season.
said Johnson. This was true
not only in the resort centers
along the coasts, but in the IN
terror of the state, as well. Adj
vance registrations were never
SO heavy at this time of year
than they are this season, / was
told by literally hundreds of
hotel and apartment house man
ayers and in those resorts where
registrations of winter visitors
are encouraged by chambers of
commerce, as at Clearwater, st.
Petersburg, Bradenton, Sarasota,
Fort Myers, Miami Beach, Lake
Worth, West Palm Beach, Or
lando, Sanford, Daytona Beach
and st. Augustine, to mention
only few, great increases over
former years, are being shown.
THE spirit of optimism found
in Florida is also shown by man
ayers of travel bureaus through
out the North, East and West as
well as by railway passenger Of
ftcials interested in travel to
Florida >. Al Blaser, New Eng
land passenger agent for the
Seaboard Railway, writing from
his Boston office, says in a let
ter: AT the present time we
have more advance reservations
than usual for passengers who
plan to leave during October,
November and December and we.
also are receiving more inquiries
than ever before from people
who are interested in travel to
Florida during the winter season.
Tourist and ticket agents all over
New England tell me that the
advance inquiries and reserya-
tons are coming in earlier than
in past years indicating that trav-
|el to Florida will exceed that Of
last season.
"a letter from S. B. Murdoch,
general passenger agent for the
.Seaboard at New York is along
the same general line. The sea-
son Of 194I-42 promises to be the
best in years, he writes, and he
adds, I find that already we
have more names booked for our
crack trains for the Christmas
season than the Silver Meteor
can accommodate. =
