Turkeys from South America Flourishing Subdivisions On Key Vaca Show Activity 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 $150 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 subdi in the office of County s 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- ous subdivisions in the area of the Key covered this week as they nals.
