at the door Of the syndicate.

property Of which the proposed light

a dangerous spot; many wrecks have
occurred there and with the increase
In shipping many more are likely to

that no amount Of damages, even

The syndicate owns a tract Of l5,
900 acres, which was purchased in lsl2
for 800 an acre with the intention OF
being transformed into a colony OF
homes for retired men OF wealth. The
government desires twelve acres as
