for a camp site for tourists should
have, in our judgment, the following
provision inserted after the word
tourists:
" 'Escambia county shall not be
obligated to make any improvements
upon the said site except at the option
and discretion of the board OF county
commissioner
with reference to the deed of the

merce, deciding certain property in
trust for the purpose of fixing a price
on this property for hotel sites and
resort locations, and the release of
this property by Theo. Baars and wife
to the Chamber of Commerce, our
recommendations, under the existing
conditions, that the Chamber of Com

sion to fix the price and there should
be a clause providing for, not only
the minimum price, but the selling
price to be agreed upon.
with these corrections and the
showing that all judgments have been
cleared UP. which we understand have
been practically completed. we would
recommend the matter be closed at
once.
