Father A. M. Buchheit writes from
Wanatah, Ind, renewing his sub
scription to The Leader. He says it
is very hot and sultry in Indiana, and
concludes his letter thus: Hoping to
see glass factory in Tarpon Springs
soon and that the proposition of Mr..
Welsh's will be realized very soon in
the beautiful Tarpon Springs, yours
/ for a greater Tarpon Springs, the
Venice of the South Father Buch-
heit."
Lieutenant Christopherson was in
Tarpon Springs Saturday and Sunday
having been sent on a special mission
by the Washington authorities to in
spect the E. Macrenaris Shipbuilding
corporation with view to sizing up
its ability to do certain government
work under contemplation. The lieu
tenant was well pleased with what he
saw at this plant and went into rap
lures over the beauties Of Tarpon
Springs. He remarked that he would
like to bring his family here and set
tie down.
George Emmanuel informed us to-
day that work will be started next
Wednesday repairing the Greek church
| to fix it suitable for use until some
decision is reached regarding a new
church building. This church was
badly damaged by fire several months
ago and we understand there has been
much inconvenience regarding a set
Element with the fire insurance COM
panies, thus delaying the work of re-
pair. In the meantime the Greeks
have been using the Episcopal church
I for their services.
Mr.. and Mrs. Earl Stumpf and two
daughters returned to their home in
Tampa this morning. Mrs. Stumpf
and daughters have been guests DUR
ing the past week of Mr.. and Mrs.
J. K. Cheyney and were joined by Mr..
Stumpf for the week end. The little
Misses Stumpf appeared at the Royal
again on Saturday night, giving a de-
ilightful repetition of their Friday
nights entertainment, and playing to
la full house. Mr.. Pitman will arrange
as soon as possible to have these at
! tractive little ladies appear in Clear
water, as he has been requested to do
so by people there who have heard of
their splendid performance here.
| We We're talking to a good-natured
| fat Jew from st. Petersburg yester-
day, and he said, among other things,
that Tarpon Springs had all the adj
vantages to offer tourists that st. Pc
tersburg possessed. Yet he remarked
there is such demand for houses and
apartments in st. Petersburg that the
rental agents are fighting each other
! to secure places for their customers.
He said an eight-room house was
rented few days ago for the season
for $4,000 This gentleman also re-
marked that st. Petersburg was 60
ing to be port some day, as it was
only few hundred feet from the
deep channel and was % miles nearer
the open gulf than Tampa. He said
all the perishable goods which come
from Bradentown and the Manatee
river section by boat could be unload
ed at st. Petersburg ard save much
time in reaching the northern mar
kets-especially will this be true when
the west coast route is again in use.
