Everglades Of ;
Florida Viewed
By Hoover Party
CLEWISTON, Fla., Feb. 16.—— j
President-elect Hoover expected to- j
day to conclude bis Inspection ef
what Floridians call “the last out
post of America”—the Everglades
section, which, with the aid of the
federal government, they hope to
cotivert into a great sugar bowl
with an annual hundred million dol
lar crop.
Mr. Hoover was impressed by
what he saw on the first day of his
journey and Governor Doyle E.
Carlton, and members of his cab
inet who are accompanying him are
hopeful he will be even more im
pressed today by the will with which
the people of Clewiston and Canal
Point are going about rebuilding
after the catastrophe they suffered
six months ago.
Before going into the last phase
of his journey, the president-elect
viewed pictures showing what hap
pened in the 1928 hurricane aroui^
the southeastern shores of Lake
Okeechobee and listened to an out
line by Maj. Gen. Jadwin of the plan
of flood relief which army engineers
have recommended to congress.
Th:s plan contemplates three
phases—the building of a levee on
the south side of the lake 31 feet
high, drainage canals from the lake
into the Caloosahatchee river, and
the Improvement of the Saint Lucie
canal into the Atlantic near Palm
Beach.
