Porter me sometime ago about’ his purchases of land along the Boulevard on the eastern side™ and also of other land which was purchased at the “head of thé island”. This land was purchased by Mr. Porter just about the time the Florida East Coast Rail- .road came to this city in 1912. Abstracts of the property are now being drawn up but thus far no other lega] work has been or- dered as to actual sale although Mr: Yorter contemplates sale to interested properties. was telling ° e CIGAR FACTORY SITES Another good piece of property which will figure greatly in hous- ing developments of the future will be the cigar factories along Flagler Avenue.’I hope when this property is ready for sale that it is eekb to a developing *corpora- tion, , and Authority. neyed ‘to Northwest Have, y the Li section’ River and ‘Mian. and sedn the woogeh omnes ~ and, then the:loster Ibjjock: Koines, eath with ovartieslored;: roofs) wich yerg. erected out there just before the war.

Would this sort of gambl- jing not be sufficient to supply j the richer gamblers and would; the city itself have to operate the! larger gaming rooms as in Monte! Carlo overseas.
