DEVELOPMENT
HAS
ARRANGED 70
TAKE 1T OVER
Final Deal Expected to
Be Consummated This
Afternoon
LOT TO Be IMPROVED
Real Estate Not Includ-
ed in Deal for. the
Wrecking

All conditions for the requirement
by the Palatka Development COM
pany of the Putnam house, not in
cluding the lot on which the building
is located, have been completed and
some time this afternoon the final
contract will be drawn up and sign
ed, according to statement Of DR..
L. w. Warren, president of the Pa
latka Development company. At the
earliest possible moment work will
be started razing the building, sal
vaging the material and clearing the
lot for whatever Improvements the
owners desire to make.
By many this is considered the
most important transaction that has
taken place in Palatka in years, as
it will change the entire physical
proportions of the business district
of the city. 1t will mean the devel-
opment of section of the retail Sec
tion that has been neglected, to a
large extent, on account of probable
investors being uncertain as to the
future of this valuable piece of prop
erty and how it would be developed.
The Putnam House is the property
of Oscar Dalton, of Valdosta, and
Edward and Claude Ferrell, of Palat-
ka. 1t was acquired little over a
year ago from the Putnam National
bank, and since that time has been
operated as hotel on the European
plan. Some months ago fire in the
rear of the building gave property
owners in the immediate vicinity
such fright that sentiment began
to develop there for some plan by
which the fire menace might be re-
moved. When the owners were APP
preached to set figure on the build
ing as it stood, without the real es-
tate, the price was considered more
than could be realized out of salvag-
ing the furniture and material in the
building. 1t was then planned for
property holders to make
up the difference and committee
called on business interests with the
result that the difference was rails
ed by public subscription and it was
ascertained this morning that this
money is in sight.
Murphy to Wreck 1t.
The razing of the building and sale
of the furniture and other appurte-
nances will be in charge of ]. J.
Murphy, and it is expected that the
actual work of tearing down the
structure will begin within the next
few days, or as soon as the furnish
ings can be disposed of.
Edward Ferrell stated this morn
ing that his plans for improving the
had not yet materialized
He has several projects under con-
1t is pointed out by insurance men
that the removal of the Putnam
House will serve to lower the insur-
ance rate in the retail district, and
it is belieevd that it is certain to ere
ate sentiment that will demand the
tearing down of other fire menaces
along Lemon street

GERMANY TAKES AMERICAN HELP FOR GRANTED

PARIS, Nov. 15.-That Germany must find a way to get S00,000, 900 marks worth of grain with which to feed her people through the coming year was the information gleaned by the Preparations Committee which recently went to Berlin to investigate the German default in the payment of reparations. This sum Is twice the amount of the paper money which is now circulating in Germany. The Committee found that 1t seems to be taken for granted in Berlin that both credits and food for the German peo- pie must come from America.
