Congressman Small Back
Home From Florida.
Congressman John H. Small has
Juat returned from Penaacola, Flor
ida where h? attended tha annual
Convention of the Mlaslaalppl to At
lantic Inland Waterway Association.
In response to a request from the
Daily News, Mr. Small made a brief
statement as to the meeting of thia
Association and some of his impres
sions on the trip.
"Tbis Waterway Aaaociatlon,"
said Mr. Small, "was organised sev
eral years ago to promote congres
sional legislation for the conatruc
tlon of a waterway across the stste
of Florid*, connecting the Atlantic
with the Gulf of Mexico and thence
an inside ronte from St. Oeorge's
Bay on the Oolf Coast by a protect
ed route to the Mississippi river and
New Orleans, a survey with a
favorable report waa made some
years ago for a route acroaa the
peninsula of Florlds which begun on
the St. John's river on the East
coaat and thence almost a direct line
to the neareat point on the Oulf
coaat near St. Oeorge's Bay. An
other survey waa authorised by <
congress in the river and harbor act 1
of March 1909, the report on which
has not yet been submitted. This t
project Is intended to be merely a t
continuance of the Intrx-Coastal wa
terway from Boston to Florida, sf- t
fording a protected passage from t
the Mississippi snd Guir ports to the t
waterway snd ports and rivers alonK 11
? he Atlantic; Seaboard. Congressman
1. Hampton Moore, or Philadelphia
^resident of tho Atlantic Deeper Wt?
:erways Association. alBo attended,
ind our purpose was to invite the
Toroperatlon of the association In
he Gulf states with the Association
vhlch is promoting the construction
>r tho Waterway from Boston lo
?"lorlda. Yr.\ Moore ami I were
nost cordU'.lly repaired.
"I believe that there will nereai
er be greater activity on the part
thfl Senators and representatives
rom
hese two great projects." 7^
When asked about PeQBacola. Mr.
Imall said, "ThlB Is a city of 30,000
irople With diversified industries
nd possesses a magnificlent harooi
rlth a present dftpth of 3:"? feet. a
urge navy yard Is maintained ut tl
his port."
Asked about Florida. Mr. Small b<
aid. "There were among others twn hi
istlnct impressions made on my tfc
lind. One was the largo number of th
ettlera from other states who have tt
loved Into Florida, and the other in
;at> the enthusiasm of the ptople
or Florida and the effort made to
dvertise the state abroad. Man*.*
eople from other states have mad*
helr homes there and the movement tl
till continues. Strangers arc up-' ni
?arently welcomed and no discrim- j
nation Is either felt or practiced ai
gainst them, and they are at once ' tl
dopted as u part of the citizenship. I
made many Inquiries and did not cl
iear of thA slightest Jealousy upon ( ll
he part of the native born resident ! n
igalnst incomers, nor of any com
?lalnt by new settlers as to the man- [ If
ler in which they had '?een recelv- [ t<
'd. They appear to extend a glad j h
velcome to anyone who will Bettle' y>
imong them and help build up the b
..and of Flowers." ii
"It Is quite apparent that a large
lumber of the people of that sta.c
appreciate the valu* of publicity.
Every city and town has Its active
>oard of trade and one of their pri
mary purposes appears to be the
gathering of data and Information
-egardlng their community ana sec
ion, and publishing It with attrac
tive illustrations, and distributing
the same throughout the country
This custom has undoubtedly help
ed to attract settlers to the state.
"The state of Plorida is engaged
n reclaiming swamp lands by drain
age on a large scale. Surveys and
plans hare been made to contracts
tiave been let for the drainage of
thousands of acres of lan<f In the
Everglades, the result of which wlli
l>e to provide a large area of most
fertile lands. No trouble la contem
plated in the sale of theee lands, In
tact much haa been sold in advance
>f the completion of drainage."
