of New Jersey finance the causeways leading to the Beach. That was before World War I, right after Mr. Fisher founded Prest-O-Lite near the Speedway he was to build. But the land boonis during the *20's made Mr. Fisher. His pet was Montauk Beach and he had close to $75 million in properties during the height of the hoom. The de. pression dampened this colony and Mr. Fischer died in 1939. There's “a $15.000 memorial to him here, but what Will Rogers said about Mr. Fisher is the great‘st monument to this grand, terprising investor, Said the humorist: “Mr. Fisher's the man who took Miami Beach away from the alligators and gave it to the Hoosiers.” Now the ending might easily

‘ fore he knew it he was mayor of

a city valued at $20 million back ‘then. Most of the streets and hotels are named after investors who came down here as “binder boys” in the boom. : Binders were a receipt for purchase of real estate with 10 per cent down. The bindérs were ex-

changed, like cash, by those who needed ready dollars. For example, Miami's Bert Schreiber bought some 300,000 acres near the state capital, Tallahassee, for $1.7 million. He sold

it a week later for $2 million and never saw the turf.

Miami's Million BUILDING and buying land is still the big business around here. There are more than 400 hotels along the Beach and at least six more going up right now. George Sadler of Union Federal and Realtor Horace G. Wright have a 100-roomer going up at Harbor Island on the road to Hialeah. These two Indianapolis men hope-to open their hotel, “Isle of Capri,” by early next month. It'll be different, with 47 “houses” around tne main hotel surrounding a swimming pool in the middle of an architectural horse-shoe, . ~ = . - MIAMIANS ioudly predict a million population here by 1960.

Garage Connected To Utility Room

The home was have selected for this week is the increasingly popular ranch-style. The garage is sttached to the right front of the house. Inside is a door opening into the utility room. The house has been designed for horizontal siding and stone construction and the garage of vertical siding. The house measures 64 six. inches by 30 feet nine inches. We enter at the front door from a porch (extending across the living room and: protected by the overhanging roof) into the entry hall. At the left is a large coat closet, Just inside the front door on the right, the architect has designed a panel which could be made of glass blocks. This glass block panel would furnish more daylight from the living room. Or. if desired, a half partition with shelves above might be placed here. % r LJ ’ FROM THIS hall, we pass through an open doorway into a large living room extending “from the front to the back. Large picture windows at both ends afford views of both front ahd backyards, yet leaving plenty of space for furniture arrangement. Directly opposite the entrance doorway is ihe fireplace and be{yond this an open archway into the dining room. The dining room has windows across the entire rear wall, facing the backyard. Off this room and separated by a half partition is the breakfast nook, with two windows also fac-

ing onto the backyard. Another thought for this dining room-breakfast nook space’

would be 10 have one complete
