Lime Grove Area Expanding
Rapidly With More Building

What is known as the Lime
Grove property, norm of Flagler
avenue and west of the site for the
proposed stadium, will soon be as
large as a go9d-sized village.
In January, The Citizen ran a
story that the Taylor Construction
Company of Miami, had taken out
building permits to erect 10 houses
at cost of $4,000, and today per-
mits were issued to construct 10
more that will cost a like sum. Be
fore them, as was told in The Citi-
zen, the same company had begun
the construction of 80 houses.
The number of permits issued TO
the Taylor Construction Company
total 20, but the company is going
TO erect l04 houses in addition to
those than have been built or are
in course of construction. Arrange
ments thus far call for the con-
struction of a total of TIA houses
on the Lime Grove property All
the houses thus far completed are
occupied.
Still another company has ar
ranged to construct 20 duplex
houses. total of 40 units, in Key
West. Those structures will be
erected east of the site of the high
school building that is now being
constructed by the Federal Works
Agency.
The Stewart Page Company, of
Miami, will have those houses
erected. Joseph Camner, repre-
sentative of the company, was in
Kew West last week and he
said he would be back shortly to
obtain permits from Building In
spector Ralph Russell.

of houses have been constructed

Our Vivian Keeps EN- Flying

In all departments, including

machine, women are working.
One, a 220-foot machine, is oper-
ated by three women. In the

The girls know they are pro-

WariShOWn To Have Had

Success OF System Due To
Fact That Banks Don't

of The Key West Citizen)

WASHINGTON. -. c.. Feb. b.

tenn. in spite Of increased in
vesiment in war bonds.
At the end of the 1912 fiscal
year. the Key West Post Office

as compared with S4os.4l3 saved
by l.975 depositors in ls4l.
Nine years age. during the de-
preston. sss depositors entrusted
S334.s27 to the post office.
More people use this banking
system than is indicated by these
figures, for there are many with
draWalS. In Florida, $50, 292, 870
was deposited in postal savings
in 1912, and $30,833,904 was TAX
en- out, yet there was little change
in the aggregate overall deposit
at the end of the year.
Present success of postal saw
ings, it is said, is due partially to
the fact that many banks do not
want money, because there is
little opportunity to invest it
profitably in war years.
AT the end of the 1912 fiscal
year, the Post Office Department
had $1,315,410,402 outstanding in
postal savings accounts of 2,812,-
500 people. The principal was
larger than in 1941 or 1910, even
though in 1912 postal savings
were used by the public to pur-
chase a billion dollars in war
bonds.
Funds in postal savings do
their war bit, too, for almost all
this money is invested in Treas
ury bends and notes.
