In the face of the work of recon- struction before the city and its citi- zens, the Miami Realty board, under date of September 25, wired the Na- tional Association of Real Estate boards as follows: "Our executive committee adopted a resolution today to the effect that the Miami Realty board will immediately proceed with its plans for the enter- tainment of the mid-winter meeting of the National association. "We want you to know that the dele- gates attending that meeting will be cared for as well if not better than we had planned prior to the hurricane." The telegram adds, "We can give them no assurance however, that they will be able at that time to see any evidence of the havoc wrought by the strongest wind which has ever swept the mainland of the United States." "We are already well advanced in our rehabilitation plans," the Miami board further reports, "The spirit of Miamians is today building a greater city than our fondest hopes ever an- ticipated." E. E.

Four years ago Mr. Schroeder, who at that time owned 800 feet of vacant here, said the market value of the prop- erty was only $12 to $14 per foot and with no takers at that. There were only one or two build- ings on the street, whereas fourteen have been built the past year. The street, it is said, is to be opened soon, into Wilmette avenue, and con- necting with the other section of Six- teenth street extending from Wilmette avenue north. Goes to Miami, Fla., to Rebuild Apartment W. H. D'Arcy of 1330 Central ave- nue left Tuesday for Miami, Fla. to rebuild the apartment building in which Paul Schroeder is interested and which was damaged by the recent storm. Mr. D'Arcy will also take with him to Miami the balance of the fund which Wilmette friends have raised for George Rettke, a former Wilmette resi- dent, who lost so heavily in the recent hurricane. A total of $260 was raised by Mr. Rettke's friends for his as- sistance. PROPERTY DAMAGED A. E. Russey, who formerly resided at Fifteenth street and Forest avenue, Wilmette, but who has been in Florida for the past two years, owned a two- story office building on the Dixie high- way in Biscayne park which was par- tially wrecked by the storm.
