Miami newspapers achieved notable things during the days following the storm. It was impossible to issue papers from their own plants for the lack of electric power, but the Miami Daily News never missed an issue, printing a bulletin upon a job press Saturday, in which brief storm news was given, along with the announcement of its contribution of $5,000 for relief work. The News must have the credit of opening the relief fund. The Miami Herald issued its paper from the press of the Palm Beach Post and the Miami Tribune was printed from its sister press of the Palm Beach Times, until power service was resumed in Miami which was only a few days, so far as concerned newspapers and certain downtown sections. Many weeks will pass, however, before service is resumed throughout the city. The power company has done remarkable work in reconstructing its prostrate poles and lines, and making repairs to its plant. The loss to this company alone must run into millions.
The Miami Post building which had been completed only a short time before the hurricane, was the most thorough wreck that came under the observation of this writer. It crumpled completely, and as the machinery in it was practically new the loss was heavy. the Post lost no time in reconstructing a shelter for its plant, however, and again is at home to its friends on the same spot.
The printing plant at Miami Beach which publishes Miami Life and the Miami Beach Beacon, suffered severe damage, but Life didn't miss an issue, though its storm edition was only a handbill. Alton Little, associated with Editor Kent Watson, of the Beacon, was one of the first victims of the storm. He was killed by a falling beam in the Wofford Hotel and Watson also was hurt, though not seriously.
