FIOurishing
Subdivisions
On Key Vaca
ShOlU Actiuity
BY SUSAN McAVoY
REAL ESTATE EDITOR

The Marathon subdivisions and
resubdivisions reflect the real es-
tate boom of this little Key.
Though some conservatives say
that property is inflated in price,
some places as high as $50 an
ocean front foot, others say that
this is natural in view of the boom
there.
Marathonites themselves do not
like the rapid expansion of their
community called a boom. They
prefer it called growth.
A glance at the subdivision books
in the office of County Tax Asses
sor Claude Gandolfo shows the
steady activity of the big owners
of property on Key Vaca in re-
cent years. Large tracts were first
subdivided, then resubdivided and
finally additions are filed to these
divisions.
One subdivision, Esctasy, owned
by J. w. Worth and his wife of
Woodstock, Illinois has 134 lots.
Sadowski and Sons have numer-
Gus subdivisions in the area of the
Key covered this week as they
did last week.
R. D. Zetterower, new Peace
Justice of the Third District is also
a big owner on Key Vaca.
Here are the final eleven sub
divisions recorded in the court
house. The first Is were covered
on last weeks real estate page.

sion of Lots one and two of Casa
Manana Shores. Plat for this area
was filed by Mr.. and Mrs. Charley

Edmond'S Acreage tract which is
Subdivided into other smaller acres
was recorded as a subdivision by
Thomas P. Edmonds in 1919.

sion Of Edmonds tract was re
corded at the courthouse by Peace
Justice r. D. Zetterower in Jan

closet doors. Why not put shelves
or racks for small items on the
door of your kitchen cabinet?
Here is a suggestion which
helped Mrs. Elmer POynter, of Fell
ton, with her storage problems. 1t
may help you, if you have a con-
ventiOnal dining room suite, and
would like more room in your din
ing room: Cut the legs off your
china closet, then saw the legs off
your buffet, leaving them about 4
inches from floor. Put rollers or
casters back on each leg. Then
place china closet on top of buffet,
and screw tightly together You
still have the top for dishes and
bottom for linens, etc, and this will
give you one extra wall space.
These are only a few of the ideas
which are being discussed by the
Home Demonstration Club. If you
are not a member of a Home DEM
OnstratiOn Club, l will be glad to
send you the bulletins which are
being used at these meetings. They
include many easy-tO7make sug-
gestiOns for improving your stOr-
age facilities. The address is:
