A few days ago the Miami Herald published
sixty-two pages 01 legal notices in fine print ad
vising owners of lots that th uarcels of land de
scribed will be offered for sale at public auction
for the payment of delinquet taxes. The typical
tax bill oustanding against these lots amounts to
less than $15. The typical assessment is in the
neighborhood of one thousand dollars. Appar
ently, thousands of former owners of boom'lots
are ready to permit t^eir property to slip from
their hands because of their inability or unwill
ingness to put up three additional $5 bills.
It involves a sharp strain on one’s senses of
reality to recall that the lots now advertised as
junk were only two years ago the articles of fren
zied exchange. What kind of madness was this
that two or three years ago set tens of thousands

era sweeping into Florida in search of lands that
they expected to build upon?
Imagination is all right in fiction, but it takes
more than that to fill 500,000 lots with bunga
lows. A point was reached when ima/ination
went stale. Trading slowed up. Then it slowed
down. Then it stopped altogether. Now comes the
sheriff. Thousands who “ bought” Florida lots

The lots will return to the la ad ^companies, to the
banks, and ultimately will lx* reconsolidated into

take Schwab is one of the bigg 4'men in the in
dustrial life of the nation, and may be interest
ing to some of our readers, particularly the young
folks, to get his viewpoint of life. Here is what
he says:

peace o f soul— what w u nia, wi h to emulate,
“ It's the satisfaction i

life that will
make you stand well in opinion i >f your fellow-
citizens, of having their good \\ islu s and their
love and respects.
“ To make workingmen content and happy; to
make them love their work and have a personal
interest in the business that’s the greatest field
of engineering I ever entered.
"This is a happy land. W e have 5 per cent, of
the people of the world and we do 50 per cent of
the business of the world. We have peace and
plenty and contentment among the high and low,
unbounded.”
,
Others can pass whatever judgment they
please on the activities of Mr. Schwab but the
young people of Jackson county might find it pro
fitable to realize that this successful industrialist
has taken no credit for hi- work in the fi.-ld of
steel.
