Jack and James Miller, of Punta Gorda, who stopped off in Key West, to Spanish Honduras, they said while here. “Incidentally, I expect to log 2,791 square miles of mahogany forest while in Honduras,” said Jack. He is the proprietor of sev- eral lumber mills in his section of Florida, but says he had ‘to shut down the plants lately -be- cause prices have gone below production costs. ! “What I’m really off to Span- ish Honduras ‘for is the search for gold,” added Jack. He and his friend stopped off to see Tommy Woods, Key West seaplane op- erator, who is an ald friend of both. “Gold is plentiful there,” Jack continued. “The Indians have no trouble mak- ing $20 to $25 a day just placer mining. I'll go after bigger game. location for a mine and ‘then _ buy the rights to the metal I ‘take from it.” Jack flies his own*Piper Cub cruiser equipped with floats. He got 58 gallons of gasoline and a quantity of oil from Woods. From here ‘he flew to Cape St. An- tonio, Cuba, then across ‘to Co- zumel, Yucatan, and _ thence to Belize, British Honduras. Later he will take off for Spanish Hon- duras. “It should be a great adven- ture for my pals,” said Woods this week, with a gheam in his eye, as though he, too, would have liked very much to have gone along. xk k * ‘Sam Goldsmith is supervising the destruction of a house at Du- val and Eaton streets which was built by Philip Fontanne 1842. For years it was the old John. son homestead. The building rests on propertv 130 feet in Duval and 120 in Eaton. Many of the timbers in it are as good as the dav thev were installed. “An architect visiting in the tonmm-s@ity told me it was ‘a shame to = “tear down the old building,” said a ~ hte a eee Goldsmith.. “He~ said he would “give anything for it—if it was out on ‘the ‘Pacific coast, his home.” a The home’ is being torn down amecsieve.t9 Make way for a parking lot. _— “Later Mrs. William R. Warren and Mrs. Sam Goldsmith, listed as owners, plan a large building there. xk *«* * Presentation of a bill for $4. 50 frcm the the Overseas Road and Toll Bridge District for passage of the county engineer through the gates of the district was cause for considerable recrimination at the last meeting of the Monroe County Commission. “It's.2 crime,” remarked Com-. missioner Gerald Saunders. “The engineer goes up the keys on official business and the ‘county is billed for payment of tolls.” He snorted. “It certainly is,’ replied Commissioner Clarence Higgs. “Well, we'd better pay the bill, or the bridge commission will either fire the gatekeeper or charge Him personally for the amount,” said Commissioner. W. A. Parrish. “I've ‘paid: the tolls coming and going about 50 times a year and I.know it doesn’t do. any good to kick about paying.’ It was suggested by Saunders that the state should declare the bridges free to the public. “Let’s start something,” said. “I’m sick of paying tolls.” *The commission ordered the $4.50 bill paid, but took no fur- he ther action. x * * Clinton (Clint) ‘Giese and his . wife, (Nancy Jane, have a mo- tive.in deciding to settle in Key — West. -They are going to take motion pictures of underwater life around the kevs for event- ual sale to a Hollywood pro- ducer.
