SENT
HERE OBTAINS MUCH
DATA ON PROPERTY
VALUES

John w. Burke, representative
of the ]. G. White Engineering
Corporation, New York City, who
came here for o conference with
Capt. Clark D. Stearns relative to
the fresh water supply pipe line
from the mainland proposition,
left last night on his return trip
to New York.
When Mr.. Burke called upon
City Clerk Wallace Pinder yester-
day to get some figures and infor-
nation concerning the present
salt water distribution system in
order to gain an idea of the scope
of the proposed fresh water dis
tribution requirements, his con-
versation indicated clearly that he
is interested in Key West in more
ways than one.
He had gone out and looked
over the tract owned by the city
on which the incinerator plant is
located, and desired to know IL It
is really reserved for park pur-
poses. He also wanted to know
the owners Of the property west
of this tract. It is understood
that he made further inquiries
about property in that section. and
It is expected that proposals tc
purchase whatever lands are avail
able out there win soon be made
The city owns more than twen-
ty acres in the tract mentioned,
and it is one Of the finest pieces
| of undeveloped property on the
island, the value Of which would
be difficult to estimate at this
time.
It Is considered as very evident
that the concern represented by
Mr. Burke contemplates invest
ments in Key West on . large
scale. and may open negotiations
In the near future.
