Remember the tip we gave you about plans by. one construction outfit for building a home a day for 365 days. Well, we saw drawings of the homes this week and public announcement with assurance of FHA co-operation is anticipated by next week. The homes will be frame, located in the northwest part of Miami and will sell for $2,500. i Still no further construction activity on the Broward county horse race track.

It couldn't have been left at the post for there isn't any post. At the Chamber of Commerce meeting Wednesday night, folk gibble gabbling at a nearby table during a lull in the conversation said they had it on good authority that plans are under way in a well known Miami architectural office for the University of Miami pro- ject and that important developments are just around the corner, and a near corner at that. The National Association of Real Estate boards advises that the postoffice has issued a warning concerning the fraudulent operations of one Stephen Von Nemes, alias C. H. Gilbert.

His scheme is to advertise for clients desiring to obtain loans on real estate. He has served a term in the federal penitentiary. He is about 45 years of age, five feet ten inches in height, weighs 165 pounds, has black hair, is smooth shaven and has a very pleasant and convincing manner. He is said to be using some of the literature of the national association in making his contacts. The U.

S. attorney, Knoxville, holds a warrant for the arrest of Nemes and should be notified immediately by telegraph in the event Nemes is taken into custody. Says a department of agriculture bulletin: "South Atlantic states The decline of 21 per cent in income from crops in this region, from January to April, and a decline of 68 per celit in government payments, more than offset a 5 per cent increase in income from livestock and livestock products and total receipts were 21 per cent lower than in the corresponding period of 1937. Lower income from cotton and citrus fruits was the major cause of the decreased income from crops. The increased income from livestock and livestock products was largely attributed to increased marketings of hogs.

Florida has 2,551 registered real estate, brokers and 2,316 qualified salesmen, a more or less grand total of 4,867. There are 898 non-active brokers. Incidentally, comes word from the state commission that H. D. Blackburn has been assigned to the Miami district, succeeding Robert Dowling.

The first group of engineers and technical men will arrive from New York this week-.

Also there will arrive dur ing the week sound -making equipment. And you members of the art class who have been going around with your hearts in your mouth wondering if the dream can com true are assured that it can. That a not saying it will for all of you, but artists who qualify will "be paid from $18 a week to $250 a week and that comes direct from Max Fleischer to Abe Aronovitz. Miami representative of the Fleischer, organization. "Just so there couldn be any misunderstanding or false hope in connection with the 'class of about 90 paying tuition to learn the technique of animated cartoon work.

I wrote a personal letter to Max Fleischer and his reply was a re quest to Mr. Aronovitz to "clear it up from all angles." In keeping with Mr. Fleischer determination to merit the good will of the community in which he will live and operate his studios," said Mr. "he wishes to I make it plain that so far as possible residents of the Miami area will be given preference, and this, of course, applies to artists. The Fleischer organization has no con tract with the Miami Art school, nor official connection of any kind and does not guarantee members of the class employment.

Mr. Fleischer does indicate sympathetic interest and whenever possible competent artists who have been properly trained will be given employment. Such assistance and suggestions as properly can be given is being supplied the class." And that's that. Construction of the studios at N. W.

30th ave. and 17th st. is reported more than five-sevenths completed. John H. Ware, president of the Delaware Housing Ass'n, Inc, is the contractor, Mr.

Aronovitz further explained: "It is estimated that the studios will have a payroll in Miami of 350 persons. The studios plan their first production activity here in the latter part of September, transition from New York being scheduled for that time. The Max Fleischer Studios, Incflt is under contract to make three pictures a month. Therefore, it is necessary to begin partial production in the new studios, getting into full production as soon as possible. "The first major production, outside the regular Pop Eye, Betty Boop, Bouncing Ball, program output, will be a $1,600,000 colored production for Paramount." Gulliver's Travels is understood to be the picture to be made.

It will require 18 months to make and will be in color. Max Fleischer is in charge of production and distribution and Dave Fleischer is at the head of the story department, where themes, gags and continuity are developed. Included in the equipment arriving this week will be the $100,000 "sound truck," only it isn't a truck at all. It is the highly technical device used for recording sound and is mobile. Originally, it had been intended to vocalize the "pictures in New York.

Enlarged plans eliminated that procedure and all pictures will be completed in Miami and the studios in New York closed. Incidental to construction of the studios, which will have two and a half acres of floor space, is construction of nearby homes for employes. The entire studio property is to be highly landscaped.

More than 50 per sons attended the meeting, The habor project, sponsored by the city of Miami, involves pur- end of Biscayne bay, the construe tion of a causeway and a recrea tional park, and a yacht anchor age, ultimate complete cost approx imately $9,800,000, with cost of first improvements set at $7,000,000.

The project would be financed with government and city funds. It was explained to the realtors that a critical period has been reached and that immediate efforts on the part of all persons in favor of the project is urgent. Commissioner Lowrey said the iami port is first in the number i passengers handled from foreign ports who arrive by air and second for those coming into the United States by water. "If adequate facilities are pro vided, said Mr. JLowrey, we can have a port doing $100,000,000 worth of business yearly.

What's more, I have reason to believe that if we perfect our harbor a naval base will be established here. The board of county commissioners is behind this movement which must be county-wide." "What we most need right now echoed Prof. Hart, "is enthusiasm and lots of it we have everything else, so all we need is en- thusiasm promptly applied, be cause within the next few weeks it will be decided whether Mi- ami is to have the deep harbor Oi this part of Florida." Professor Hart referred to. the proposed recreational park, to be "created out of the various spoil banks, as an asset to Miami Beach. "On the other hand we need the powerful co-operation of Miami lJeach," he said.

"Your city government is recognized as one of five best in the United States. Your influence with important people is essential and it is important that you act now or it will be too late. I suggest that letters and information be sent Col. George A. Brown of the board of army engineers, Miami Beach, at once." President Frazure pledged support of the board and Walter B.

Wilson warned that "now is the time to act if we want to get it," and acting on a resolution presented by Guy W. Ellis, the board officially voted its approval of the project and pledged its President Frazure called attention to the fact that the last meeting of the summer would take place June 27, at which time an enlarged program will be prepared for the board members. BISGAYNE ISLAND PLANS FORMULATED 1 i Hearing Called On Proposed Bulkheading Completion of the island. 1,000 feet south of the Florida Power Light Co. plant at the east end of the county causeway, is contemplated by the Orleans according to application on file with the engineering office of the U.

N. Belcher and J. N. Lummus have title under name of Orleans Corp. to the island which has been thrown up during the last 10 years as a spoil bank in connection with harbor work in Biscayne bay.

M. B. Garris is the engineer. The plans submitted by the ap plicant show an island proposed to be completed by erecting wcodsr. sheet pile bulkheads, filling benin! these bulkheads with material to be dredged from the bay bottom.

The northerly edge of the Island will be parallel with, and 1.000 feet distant from, the northerly edge of the municipal channel across the bay. The south est corner of the island is the southwest: corner of fractional Section 4, township 54 south, ra.jge 42. east. The westerly and southerly sides of the island are the westerly and southerly lines of the above sections or those lines produced. The dimensions are as follows: the westerly and southerly side, measured northerly and easterly from the above section corner, 1,376.56 feet and 2.434.82 feet, respectively; the northerly side, parallel with municipal channel, 2,795.32 feet; the easterly side 100 feet.

The easterly end of the is land will be approximately 1.500 lect nortn of the northwest corner of Fisher island. Fill material will be secured by: dredging between the island andi the municipal channel to an ap-i proximate depth of 12 feet below! mean low water. i "QJj of extreme optimism the bridegroom 96 years old who spent the honey moon with his 78-year-old-blushing-bride looking for a home close to a schoolhouse.

Once the people decide to do the.

job themselves instead of permitting the office grabbers to play into the hands of forces that sit up nights planning dirty work at the crossroads, there will be a passle of termites now on government payrolls who once more will go back to honest work. In the meantime, while lots of good folk and true, up north, roll out of bed in the morning wondering whether they or some bureau is that day going to run their business, the sun and moon still shines in Florida, and more and more the harassed citizens of the republic are finding here the inspiration of smiling skies, a place for investment, some swell golf courses, 167 varieties of game fish and a disposition to stand when the band plays "The Star Spangled Banner."

Mr. L. B. Wilson. has asked me to give a talk on my home town, Miami Beach.

Miami Beach, known for many years as the winter playground of the world, is rapidly becoming recognized as a popular summer resort and is now prepared to entertain visitors the entire year. "Twenty years ago it would have seemed just as ridiculous to have thought of spending a summer vacation in the tropics as it would to taking a swim in the wintertime. Yet, Miami Beach is the one spot in the nation bestowed with a climate to permit each of these accomplishments. Although, it has taken years to convince people of the even year round temperature of Miami Beach, the official figures of the United States weather bureau have always shown this area to be cooler in summer and warmer in winter than any other section of the country. "For nearly 20 years Miami Beach has been known as a mil lionaire's playground.

This, of course, applied to the winter months when wealthy people came South to escape the frigid weather of the North. But in the last few years there has been an enormous amount of summer travel to this section.

The FHA has insured 303,557 mortgages. Construction has been completed and premiums are being paid on 231,365, representing about $950,000,000. Applications for FHA insurance increased 65 per cent in the first three weeks of May over the corresponding period last year, The agency reported. The USHA expects to have construction of multiple dwelling units started by August in at least nine cities where demolition of slum areas has started.

The authority began operations last Nov. 1 and already has earmarked funds totaling $357,000,000 for projects in more than 100 cities. The USHA was authorized to issue 500 millions in bonds.
