The recessed term of circuit court for Monroe county,recon- vened -at_ 10 o’clock this- morning, | with Judge Jefferson B. Browne presid:ng and all other court offi- cials im their places. Except for the matter of report of the ‘grand re- ceiving the jury there was no business to re- quire the attention of the court, so adjournment was ordered at about 11 o'clock. The presentment of the grand jury is one of the briefest papers of the kind .submitted to circuit court in this county in a long, time. This is accounted for in‘a measure in the fact that a special and separate report was made on the case of Arthur Baker, when an indictment for. first degree murder was returned. Recom- mendation is made that a clock be placed in the court room, and that the sher#f enforce the law conterning cruelty to animals, with special reference to cock fighting. County Solic‘tor ,Busto, ithe sheriff and his deputies are complimented on their aid in mak- ing the investigations. Since this is the grand jury that indicted Arthur Baker for marder, who was afterward given a life sentence, the personmel of the panel will be of interest. The jury was composed of George A. T. Roberts, foreman; R. B. Cor- ty, clerk; Hugh Hind, Charles Olivieri, John J. Albury, Thomas B. Sweeting, Thomas Pent, Wil- liam V. Bethel, F. N. Page, P.

For 47 Years Devoted to the Interests of Key West PRICE FIVE CENTS Representative Of National Real Estate Association Predicts Glowing And Permanent Success For Key West __ Claims Realty Boom Responsible For Over Sea Highway Project WILLIAM HERREN AND PAUL MEREDITH DISCUSS ISLAND CITY’S POSSIBILITIES AT LA CONCHA HOTEL DINNER LAST EVENING; PROMINENT VISITORS GUESTS OF REALTY BOARD “The Over-Sea Highway would never have been spoken about if it had not been for real estate,” said William:Herren, .Fepresentative of the national real estate association last eve- ning at the Hotel La Concha. A ‘dinner was given by the Key West Realty Board for Mr: Herren and Paul O. Meredith, sec- retary of thé state association, Mr. Herren’said that he could predict the permanent suc- eess of Key West, and that the builders and developers of this city, were leaving a real heritage. * “There is every indication that 1926 will estate year you ever had,” he declared, In the establishment of the real estate association we be- gan building a profession, undertaking to prepare and adopt a definite code of ethics: We tried to gather together ideas and disseminate them so that we could improve methods of selling,” he said. “I have the utmost confidence in Florida, believing more ‘fully in the future of Florida ‘than ever before,” Mr. Herren stated. “However there are two things that must be done here: industrial and agricultural development. ; “We must stop grabbing off the easy.money and must get down to hard work, sane thinking and conscientious effort.” Mr. Herren spoke’at length on the golden rule in real es- tate dealings, stating that he wished to-go on fecord as sayilig that he would underwrite the realtor’ who follows the es * <USTRESSES FACT OF BUILDING = in Florida and that we ate seeking new achievements, build- ing homes, office buildings and highways by genuine business ability. The national convention will take placé Jane 7-11 at Tulsa, Okla., and Mr. Herren urged the local board to send a large rep- resentation to this conference, as the only way to convince them about Florida is to send,three or four hundred men there to sell them Florida. : 3 ; e Five fundamental! elements in real estate. were listed as fol- lows by the national representative; money making not the aim, public service, spirit of brotherhood among members, certain standards of entrance and a body of literature must be built on the profession. Mr. Meredith said that he had heard of the only frost-free city in the United States before coming to Key West, This city had a most able tepresentation at the Lakeland convention last year, he said, which made & most favorable impression. “I believe that there ate twp major problems ih Key West water and Over-Sea Highway. 1 have looked over the work be- ing done on the highway and believe that it is progressing rapid. it be the best real cae £ “Organization, education and legislation are the three heads under the assocjation. Florida has the largest state association of any state in the United States. There are approximately 55,- 000 salesmen in Fiorida and about 5,000 are in the organization.” EDUCATIONAL COURSES FOSTERED “Education courses are now being fostered in universities, so that salesmen can make themselves faniiliar with the stand- and practices of realtors.” _ The word realtor, he explained, means that a person’ is a © member of the local board, which is in turn connected with the national association. The purpose of the organization is not for monopoly, he said, but to protect the public, giving the right to remove those performing illegal and fraudulent acts. An effort is being made to establish # county agricaltufal . expcriment station. Another necessary thing is to secure a state- wide enabling act which will give the city power of planning,
