Deeming him'"one of God'i noble=
men to whom liie 'was not a goblet
to bet drained, but a measure to be
tilled," J. 1. Conklin, construction en-
gineer for the late- John S. Collins,
"father of Miami Beach." paid rev-
erence to hie memory yesterday fu a
brief statement.
"Everyone who knew Mr. Co111os,"
be said, "feels 'a eenee of personal lose
in his passing. He was a tried and
true friend. He had a seer's vision,
the courage of hie convictions and the
practical knowledge and energy to
carry then to realisation,
"The beautiful homes and broa
thoroughfares of Miami Beach are
'tributes to hie foresight and monu-
ments to his memory.
Sir. Conklin assiated Mr. Collins
in the early development work of
Miami Beach after the Collins bridge,
'on which he was construction engi-
neer, was completed.
' At the age of 74, when most men
consider their llfe's work about com-
plete. Mr. Conklin said, Mr. Collins
began his bridge. lila' energy in
starting such a large project at that
age has been the subject of much ad-
miration and comment.
"You could always tell when Mr.
Collins liked you," Mr. Conklin said.
"If be did, he would give you the
benefit of his Quaker vernacular, ad -
dreaming you with 'thee' and 'thou'."
Sympathy for the family and the
community was expressed in a reaolu-
'tion passed Saturday by the Miami
Beach city council, as follows:
"Wbereaa. God in- his. infinite wis-
dom has taken from us on Feb. 10,
1028 onr esteemed first citizen, the
'father of Miami Beach,' John S. Col-
lins, and
"Whereas, the vialou of thia pio-
neer, who came to the site of Dllami
Beach when it was not inhabited, u
half century ago, is now reflected iu
our prosperity and beauty and
"Whereas, this community recog-
nises the masterful leadership, the un-
conquerable courage, the constructive
genius, and the Innate love'of his fel-
low man of John S. Collins, to whom
