"Air- lines, hotels and the police depart- ment -are working in a joint venture - to make •sure these people, are accommodated in an), way possible. The only thing Mr. Hayward has to worry about at this point are .his injuries and his wife's injuries," Thursday's shooting is typical of the crimes the chamber hopes to deter .with a new safety brochure for 'be tourists.

TOTAL _ a r °' 6y Histor1cfreservation loes out THt FLORIDA Historic: Preservation Advi- sory Council in August recommended a grutof$158,165fortheongbing restore- 6 of the Lyric Theater in the historic district of Miami's Overtown. It also recommended $220,000 for - additional restoration of the Charles Deering Estate In South Dade. The chances of either project receiving all that money already have evaporated; the chance of either project receiving any a money is getting slimmer by , the crisis. Florida's fiscal problems SNOWARD are striking as deeply at his- KIEINBERG toric preservation as they are at any other venture, SPECIAL perhaps more so. Last year CONTRIBUTOR the advisory council recom• mended $12 million for 54 restoration projects throughout the state, attaching priority rankings to each. When the Legislature finished with it, only $3 million of the recommended funds made it into the budget. Faced with just one-fourth of the funds, Secretary of State Jim Smith, whose office over- sees the council, chose to apportion the awards at a 60-percent level until the money ran out. Broward's Davie Elementary School restora- tion, ranked 17th, originally was awarded $375,000. Even though it received only $224,833, it fared better than, say, the Cape Florida Light- house. Also recommended for funding, this project was farther down the priority list (29th) and left empty-handed when the well ran dry. This year the council — composed of 12 mem- bers appointed by Smith from statewide historic - preservation organizations -- voted to recommend $9.8 million in funds to 45 restoration projects. There were 117 applications. Lyric Theater, Dade's oldest Of the 45, silt are in Dade County, three in Mon. roe, one in Palm Reach, and none in Hroward. Par- ing that further to a Top 20 list, we are down to three in Monroe and three in Dade. By ranking, the century -old Customs House in Key West +($250,000) topped the council's chart. St. Paul's Episcopal Church, also in Key West, was ranked Episcopal and recorn.-nended for $267,000. The San Carlos Institute of Key West ranked eighth and was 'recommended for $180 000. Homestead's Old 'own Hall, chosen for a $50,000 renovation, ranked 10th on the priority list. The Deering Estate was in 18th place, the Lyric Theater in 20th. Of Broward's two applications, the Davie school was withdrawn voluntarily when the final quarterly payment of the approved amount from the previous year's budget finally arrived, The other -- the Art and Culture Center in Hollywood's old Johnson - Foster Funeral Home — failed to win a grant. Funding doubtful for 1992 It is extremely doubtful that any grant below the rank of 20 actually will receive funds. In fact, any ranked below 15 should be considered endangered. There is no chance that the 1992 Legislature will fully fund the requested $9.8 million. But let us assume that the Legislature funds his- toric preservation at last year's level, $3 million -- minus the 5.5-percent across-the-board statewide spending cut ordered last month by Gov. Lawton Chiles and the cabinet. Then let us presume that Smith apportions the hypothetical remaining $2.8 million at the same level, 60 percent, as last year, The money would run out at the 20th ranking, Overtown's Lyric Theater. But the fear here is that the Legislature is not going to fund at last year's level; that the budget probably won't exceed $2 million. If that occurs, funds would run out well before the Deering Estate or Lyric Theater ranking. Recommended South Florida Gronta,1992 Rank Project Amount !1. Customs House, Key West $250,000 4.
