Other Changes Projected.


Other Changes Projected.
Juno, Fla, April 22,-The enterprising
people in this section, realizing the inn
portance of making Lake Worth accessi-
BILE from the ocean for vessels of ordinary

ment to do the work for them, but will
appropriate the money themselves. A
few days ago II. M Flagler, of New
York, whe has large property interests on
both sides of Lake Worth, offered to re-
open Lake Worth inlet If the people here
abouts would contribute the sum Of So, 600.
They have done So and the work will be-
gin shortly in the old channel on the
north side of the inlet, close to the rocks.
Lake Worth Inlet is five or six miles
north Of Palm Beach, where the Hotel
Royal Poinciana ostands, and about the
same distance from here. Its OPEN
ing to navigation will admit into
the lake from the ocean many
yachts and trading and passenger
craft, whore heretofore they have
been shut out by the shallow water. This
will be great benefit to every place on
the lake, and when the canal of the Florida
Coast Line Land and Transportation Com
pany is opened to the whole Indian river
country as well. About 100 men are now
on the ground to make the last cut of the
canal into Lake Worth. The canal will
be ready for business early in the fall.

provement Company will begin work on a

on the ocean beach near Juno. OIn this
