Approximately 100 small boats, tossed upon the land by the violent winds and waves, are fyeing recovered from unbelievable places, some far inland, and are being salvaged and put into shape for transportation in case an epidemic should force the remaining population to leave the city. Reports from outlying villages, beginning to filter into Belize, say that hundreds of surviving inhabitants now are facing the danger of starvation unless relief comes at once. A severe squall hampered the work last night, when a typical tropical downpour struck the city. This, however, was not without a certain advantage, for through it the inhabitants hoped to catch enough water to prevent a famine i in the drinking supply.

Government Foresees Aerial Taxi Service Washington, Sept. 15.—(U.R) —The i Commerce Department is looking 'forward to the day when the individ- , ual will operate his own plane and when a network of air taxi services will span the country for short trips, which it is believed will be in the near future. To that end the department has issued a bulletin suggesting that airports be so constructed to handle this type of flying. "In the very large cities during the next few years, it is believed that suburban air travel will grow to a marked extent," the bulletin predicted. "This traffic undoubtedly will be of two classes, operation between the large cities and small outlying communities and flying by private owners, who will air commute daily to their offices."
