Sperry, lying at the confluence of the Jupiter, Loxahatchee and’ In- dian Rivers, just inside Jupiter. River and opposite Jupiter Light, has been purchased by the Palm Beach Point Association. It will be'divided into five hundred home- sites and then beautified as the Tequirements of a limited, high @rade, residential park, naturally @ictate. The Sperry Estate has long been known as one of the fiést beautiful and beautifully situated on the entire East Coast. The previous owners have enjoyed it “as an homestead for thirty years and, naturally, have brought it to a high state of development. ‘The homestead borders the Jupiter River and stands directly opposite the mouth of the Indian River, Eastward, through’ Jupiter Inlet, a magnificent view of the sea is en- jeyéd.. Along the river bank is @ beautifully grassed cocoanut, grove . of mature trees and the gardens contain a wealth of care- fully tended, tropical flowering plants and shrubs. In the re- modelling of the property, the ves and gardens will be dis- urbed as little as possible. ““The Palm’ Beach Point Asso- “eiation is headed by Felix D.

In 1766 a small boy reached his hand in the tomb and drew out the jawbone. It became a relic in the boy’s family until, in 1906, a des- cendant returned it to the Abbey. By command of the late King Ed- ward it was restored to the tomb./ DEMOCRATIC VOTERS OF THE TWENTY-FOURTH SENATORIAL DISTRICT _ OF FLORIDA I wish te announce my candi- dacy for re-election to the Flor- ida State Senate from the Twen- ty-fourth district, subject to the Democratic primary. There will be a number of matters of vital importance to this District, and particularly to Mon- toe County, in the 1927 session | of the Legislature. The bound- aries of the City of Key West will have to be changed to include the Florida East Coast Railway terminals. The ten year contract | will expire with the 1927 session. I am a party to the contract ex- eluding the terminals from the City in consideration of the con- struction of the Casa Marina ho-| tel in 1917. I very much desire} 40 personally see that’ these ierminals are reincluded in the City limits. No one has in the slightest degree intimated opposi- tion to the terminals being rein- corporated in the City, neverthe- less if I am reelected to the Sen- ate I pledge that the terminals will be placed back within the cer- porate limits of the City of Key West. My long service in the Senate qualifies me for efficient Service. During the campaign I will make further declarations of principles which shall govern me in the Sen- ate.

The only speech for the “defense” was. made by Henry J. Smith, Miami real estate dealer, acting as rep- Collier, developer of Collier county, who is. making ef- forts to, reroute the trail through ‘his county at the spot where original plans call for its-building in Mon- roe county. One of the high points in the meeting was reached when T. A. Price read a communication from Capt. J. F. Jaudon, pioneer of the Tamiami trail, who is de- clared largely responsible for the progress which has already been made. Captain daudon, who is confined to his home by illness, had pre- pared the lettér for the meet- ing. “There is no use to mince words any longer,” the letter said. “Barron G. Collier, John W.. Martin, Fons A. Hathaway, I. E.. Schilling, Henry J. Smith and their various spokesmen have fool- ed the people of Florida long enough.” Captain Jaudon began his letter with an explanation of the formation of Collier county by Mr. Collier, who, Captain Jaudon says, made promises to spend $10,000,- 000 a year for improvements in the ¢ounty. “People who knew him knew that he did not intend to spend $10,000,000 a year} Flo in Collier county, and.they knew he did not intend to spend any of his personal money Bee m_., Collier simply | fol ushed the legislature of rida into creating Collier He has promised ® (From The Miami Daily News of Tuesday, April 27, 1926) » promisés and talk, but now} Tamiami trail on the shortest line, the quickest constructed constructed line. And he said that if the state road department would not give to the people of Dade county and southern Florida the Tamiami trail. on} the shortest line, the quickest cheapest constructed route, that the he gets Governor John W. Martin and Fons A. Hatha- way, chairman of the state road department, and Henry J. Smith, who owns an op- tion to buy the alternating sections in township , 53, ranges 33 and 34 in southern Collier county, to speak for him. “Mr. Smith, of course, is interested in having the Ta- miami trail go through the property on which he-holds purchase ‘contract, and he made a statement in the Miami Herald last Saturday that the Tamiami trail, if built through Monroe county, | the trail, my faith in Dade would be 12 miles longer than if constructed on the Jenkins survey, or Collier's! “proposed rerouting. “If any reader ‘will refer to a map he will see that Henry J. Smith’s statement has just about as much truth in it as the statement that Barron G. Collier would spend $10,000,000 a year in Collier county, or the state- ment that Barron G. Collier intends or ever did intend to build any portion of the Ta- miami i} at his own. ex- pense. If the taxpayers ‘of Collier county will build the trail, or if the state road de- partment, sponsored by Gov. John W.’Martin and Fons A. Hathaway, will spend three, four, or five million dollars to build the trail for Barron G. Collier, then Barron G. Collier is willing to take the credit for building the Ta- miami trail. “I defy Gov, John W. Martin to prove that the Ta- miami trail through south- eastern Collier county over the ‘Collier route’ is. more than a mile shorter than the Tamiai trail constructed from Miami due west to the Monroe county line, thence northwesterly to Carnestown and the crossing of Deep Lake railway of the trail> “I defy Gov. John W. Martin, Dr. Fons A. Hatha- way, Henry J. Smith, I. E. Schilling, Barron G. Collier or anyone else to prove that the Tamiami trail from its) present terminus in Monroe county to’ its nearest con- necting point in Collier county cannot be completed quitker than the so-called Jenkins ‘survey or Collier route.
