City's Future Concerns Planning Board

By JOYCE EDWARDS Coral Gables of the future lies in the laps of the seven newly-appointed members of the planning board. These men represent the fields of art, architecture, public utilities, engineering, and real estate, with each aspect being brought into the planning. A problem which attracted three of the men is the currently growing traffic problem. William D. Fuller, Florida Power & Light Co. points out that two of the key spots which need attention are at Alhambra Circle and Ponce de Leon Blvd., and at the Granada Entrance. Traffic Is Problem William H. Merriam, 1022 Avenue Malaga, finds the greatest traffic congestion to be at the Douglas entrance. "A traffic circle placed here," Merriam said, "would do a lot to relieve this problem. I believe it will be one of the first issues taken up by the board." A move that would probably relieve congestion, is the suggested transportation center. "I am interested in such a center," said M. B. Garris, 1822 Country Club Prado. "I understand it is to be located in the lot west of the police station, and include facilities for a bus terminal, taxis, railway express, and any other agencies connected with transportation." Waterfront Development Another interesting suggestion put forth by Garris is for the development of the bayfront property, and the opening up of the Coral Gables waterway. "By raising the bridges along the waterway, particularly at Hardee Road, we will stimulate waterway activity which should result in the eventual building up of the water front property." "There is enough work here to last us for the next 25 years," Garris said. "I think that if you plan for a long time in advance, then you will get somewhere." Again in connection with problems growing out of transportation, Garris spoke in favor of paving some of the streets which are in poor condition. "I also think," he continued, "That some sort of financial system should be worked out to care for the off-street parking." Protect Beauty The beauty of the city is of paramount interest to Artist Denman Fink, 760 Avenue Anastasia. "To me," Fink said, "The most outstanding job will be to preserve the things which made Coral Gables internationally famous. Many of these things have been neglected because of finances." "For instance," Fink said, "One improvement we can make is to take care of the lighting around the fountain. The neon lighting should be replaced by spotlights since the neon fails to show up the intricate design." "There are many other things to be considered such as the redesigning of street markers, and replanting and revamping of the plazas," Fink continued. Cites "Mile" Plan Fuller spoke for the beautification of Miracle Mile with the possibility of planting trees in a manner similar to that of Lincoln Road. Not to be slighted, Garris spoke for improvements to be made along Coral Way and Ponce de Leon Boulevard. In the line of street improvement, at the same time, it was suggested that a center parkway might be planned to run from Tamiami Trail to Flagler Street. Garris said that he believed this expanse of road was too wide, barren, and hot looking for a residential area. "Keeping this town the finest section in America is the overall job of the planning board," said Thornton M. Fincher, 733 Alhambra Circle. In order to do this it is the belief of Fincher that we need to take care of reserving the Gables for people who are earnestly interested in carrying out this ideal and who want to keep it a city on a high level. "We must maintain high standards and not let people bluff us," Fincher concluded.

He Won't Go Away

"Buckie," the Tappan family's deer at Lockwood, N. Y., just won't go away to the woods and be like other deer. He was found in a nearby field last summer when he was so young he could hardly stand. He likes the Tappans so well he goes after the cows with the children, eats calf feed with their calf, answers Mrs. Tappan's whistle. She's shown giving him a cookie inside the house, where he makes himself at home on occasion.
