Some Of The p
Improvements We Ex ect To
Complete At Miami Beach Before January 1, 1921
We expect to have the street car,electric light,powerhouse and cold-storage plant completed and in full operation
within three months from today.
We expect to open the FLAMINGO IIOTEL by December 1.
We expect to complete some 15 houses that arc now under the course of construction,ranging in price from$10,000.00
to $100,000.00—and have them ready for sale by the 1st of January.
We expect to complete the large apartment house now being built on Dade Boulevard.
We expect to complete at least 2y2.miles of bulkhead on the new Bay Shore Subdivision. We expect to have pumped
into this subdivision not less than 3,000,000 yards of fill by January 1.
We intend to complete the new 18-hole golf course on the Bay Shore company grounds,just north of the Collins canal.
We expect to have completed by January 1 a first-class theater—in fact,this will be the best theater in Florida or the
entire south. ..
We expect to have completed and in operation a first-class bank and trust company at Miami Beach inside of five months
from this date.
We expect also to have built and completed,in connection with the FLAMINGO HOTEL,one of the finest garages to be
found any place in the entire south—completely equipped with not less than 25 Packard and Cadillac touring cars for the
use of Flamingo guests.
We hope to see the completion and opening of the JAMES A.ALLISON AQUARIUM,the latter part of this month or
early in May of this year. The ALLISON AQUARIUM will be one of the finest aquariums in the world and will be one of the
big visiting points on the south Atlantic coast.
We expect to have completed ON STAR ISLAND by May or June of this year five of the handsomest residences in south-
ern Florida,all with water front. A complete boulevard system on Star Island,and a third of Star Island will be a park for •
the benefit of the residents of Star Island.
We have received the permit from the war department for the filling of the Flagler Memorial Island. The contract for
building the shaft of the Flagler Memorial has been let for over six months. We expect to see this island and shaft com-
pleted before January 1 of next year.
We expect to build and complete over six miles of boulevard on the Bay Shore properly,and over nine miles of bridle
paths.
Within three months from this date we expect to have our dairy—which we believe will be the finest dairy in southern li
Florida—completed and ready for full operation next January.
We have let the contract for the building of a complete little city for the exclusive use of the colored employes at Miami
Beach. The initial contract calls for 25 separate houses—two rooms,kitchen and bath—with septic sewer-tank system;
paved street in front of these cottages,and a centrally located church,meeting hall and moving picture auditorium will he
a part of the initial program for this colored city. We want our best laborers,cooks and assistants to live centrally on this
peninsula—and we have laid aside 50 acres of property for this little city. We are going to try and make It the most ideal city
of Its kind to be found in America. This city will always be under the control of the Bay Shore Company. The houses will
be leased under rigid rules and regulations. The houses will all be built of concrete block,stucco and first-class construc-
tion throughout,and with this class of house and equipment,we expect to be able to hold and keep here the very best class .
of colored servants and laborers.
Two miles of Ocean front property north of the Snowden residence will be bulkhended and filled some time during this
year and the early spring of 1921.
We believe we have more improvements underway for the year 1920 at Miami Beach than will be underway in any other
city in the United States of less than 100,000 population.
This Is our program for 1920. -
For the past three years these companies have been in the habit of announcing their yearly program. We are pleased
to refer to-our past record for completing the jobs we have undertaken.
