BRENNAN DENIES
MOVING STORY
Will Simply Take His Chill
dren to Florida on
Trip.

John A. Brennan will not leave Gary
for good nor has he sold his residence
as yet as was published in Gary
newspaper on Friday night.
What Mr.. Brennan intends to do is
this:
If he gets a good enough price for
his home he will sell it.
IT will sell anything 1 got if I get a
nice price," said Mr.. Brennan.
In a few weeks he is going to take
his children to Florida-at Brooksville
in fernando county on the west coast
where they will escape the rigors OF
the norther spring. His daughter
Dorothy's health makes the northern
climate hard for her and for this pur-
pose the man, who was candidate for
first mayor of Gary and recently for
county auditor, viii take the children
to the southern climate.
IF I see any good chances for in
vestment in florida I may buy and stay
there, but that is only matter of con-
lecture" said Mr.. Brennan today.
Mr.. Brennan a few months ago sold
his building at Sixth avenue and
Broadway for $4,000 cash. 1t cost him
$4,000 five years ago. He has large
holdings in Gary.
