_Everglades National Park is a major achievement«-
It got under way when Spessard L. Holland, U.S. Senator
and former governor, suggested to you that it could be achieved
if The Herald got behind it.
The park had been authorized by Congress some 25 years
before with the proviso that it must cost the United States
nothing tc acquire the necessary acreage.
Interest had all but died, a minor spark being kept alive
by Ernest F. Coe~who was in his 8O3, and inept.
We induced the governor, Millard F. Caldwell to
reactivate an Everglades National Park Commission, authorized
by the Legislature years before, and through it as an agency
got a S2 million appropriation from the Legislature with which
to purchase private inholdings. The state also contributed some
one million acres which it owned.
