VARIOUS STORIES CARRIED
IN ISSUE OF FLORIDA
HIGHWAY MAGAZINE


Florida Highway Magazine, is
sued by the State Road Depart
ment, has so many stories about
Key West in it's December num-
Der of So pages, it would not be
altogether wrong to call it a Key
West Magazine"
Stephen Cochran Singleton,
secretary of the Key West Cham
Der of Commerce, has two fairly
long stories in Florida Highway
about Key West and the Florida
Keys generally, and there are
several stories about the Key
part of Florida written by former
WPA writers when they were
stationed in Key West.
And there is still another story
about the Gulf Stream as it pass
eS along the shores of the Florida
Keys, with comments about the
fishing in these waters. The con
clusion of the writer is that the
best fishing for sport in the world
is in the waters of the Florida
Keys.
Still another story about Key
West deals with the supply OF
fresh water. The account gives
particulars of how the pipe line
of water was obtained, its daily
gallonage and the distance it trav-
els from its source in Florida City
to Key West.
One article by Mr.. Singleton is
entitled, There's Sons him G

FALLING OFF
SHOWN in REAL
ESTATE SALES
THIS PERTAINS TO PROPER
TY IN KEY WEST AND AL
so ALONG UPPER FLORIDA
KEYS

According to records in the
office of Claude Gandolfo, Mon
roe county tax assessor, the sale
of real estate in Key West and
elsewhere in the Florida Keys
has not been as good this year as
it was in 1941.
AS was pointed out in Mr..
Gandolfo's office, last year realty
in the Florida Keys had begun
to show signs of a small boom,
though nothing like the plung-
ing and paper" transactions
that occurred in Monroe county
in 1925.
Last year the sales were not
made on a speculative basis, ex-
cepting those transactions of
acreage in the Everglades that
resulted from the possibility
that oil may be discovered in
that locality. Acreage has been
sold this year in that section at
prices that exceeded those charg-
ed for similar land in that area
in 1925.
The digging of two oil wells
and the reported presence of
the steady burning of a gas jet
near one of the wells were the
actuating motives behind the
sales. But elsewhere in Monroe
county land was bought as an
investment. and, in a good many
instances, it was improved by
the construction of buildings on
it.
Up to the backstab at Pearl
Harbor, realty was picking up,
but that treacherous blow put a
temporary end to the sales. Since
then real estate has picked up
slightly, though not to an extent
that is comparable with the
transactions in 1941.
Shortly after January l, all
transactions made up to Deem
Der 81 of this year will be re-
corded. showing the parcels
transferred in the names of the
new owners
