Florida in big letters was discus-
sed at the Kiwanis Club‘s luncheon
at the Royal James today.
William C. Jessup, prominent Ki-
wanian and president of the E. H.
I-lotchklss Mfg. Co., and Charles
Mintz, Second district'realtor, were
the principal speakers.
Both discussed Florida at length.
Mr. Jessup drew on his knowledge
of 20 yoars’ experience there. Mr.
Mintz analyzed the real estate boom.
“Last week." said Mr. ~Mintz. “I
noticed in one of the local papers
an interview with Charles 11:. Hoyt.
president of the Board of Trade and
treasurer of the South Norwalk
Trust Company in regard to Florida.
“I certainly agree with Mr. Hoyt
in a great many things that he
brought out in his article iii regard
to the Florida real estate boom. lie
mentions that Florida is not an in-
vestment bug>a speculation. I
should say this it is about fifty-fifty.
and that there me still good invest-
ments to, be made in Fl‘uida and
plenty of speculation going on. I
think that city property is more of
an investment and thin acreage is
more of p. speculation. Of course.
greater profits are being made on
acreage with less investment. Mr.
Hoyt also mentions that paper pro-
fits are being made in Florida. This
is true that a. great deal of profit is
being made on paper. but a good
real estate trader will \always see
that he gets his original investment
back with a certain amount of cash
profit and the balance in paper pro-
tit.
“Mr. Hoyt also mcinions the fact
that good real estate investments can
still be made in Norwaik and I eer-
iainly agree with him. The great
trouble is that it is hard to convince

TO SAVE SON”
Others Save Them
A tale of heroism is being told in
Norwalk todaY.
Facing death in a gas filled sewer
AssistantICity Engineer Robert Bus-
sing of Jefferson street attempted to
New-
1'lclim lo
the insidious vapor himself.
‘I~Not deterred. George Wardwell of
Ill Washington street. a chuinman,
descended to where his two oom-
puuions lay, and tried to haul them
to the surface with a rope. With
the aid of a. passing iceuiun. liu
hauled Gregory to the surface. do-
ueended again and with the aid of
an unknown young 1111111. pulled
liussing to the street, apparently
dead.
Bustling and Gregory are in the
hospital today. where. although
their condition is graVe .iliey will
recover;
The men werevworking on the new
sewer in 'l‘hylor avenue near Crown.
Gregory entered.'x1iel111iiig to flash
:1 light through the sewer to Paul
iicardon. to see if the pipe were
clear.
The that intimation of danger was
when Bussing saw Gregory lying in
a. crumpled been at the foot of the
manhole. Without a. pause he
stdrted down the narrow outlet. 9511;
met the smell (it illuminaiiii‘i gait.
Net deteu-ed he kept on, while his
senses slowly became dcadened.
Wardwell watched his progress from
the top. and saw the engineer slow-
ly crumple over the body of the man
he had set out to rescue. .
Fully warned of the danger tlicre.
Wardwell knew that he could never
get the men up without a cool head.
He ran to a back yard, and ripped
down a clothes line. Back at the
manhole. he looked down at the two
men, and then, taking a full breath.
he plunged down to where they lay.
With the gas choking him. he got to
the bottom. and quickly tied the rope
round the unconscious Gregory.
Climbing to the top. he found an
unknown helper—an iceman—and
together they pulled Gregory to the
‘top .
Without pause, Wardwell descend-
ed into the gas hole a second time.
and tied the rope round his chief.
Weakened from the gas. he could
not get the rope round properly. and
at the top it was found that Bus-
sing's body “as jammed in the man-
hole.
Another unknown hero appeared-—
a young man. who volunteered to go
down the sewer, With scarcely less
courage than shown by the city em-
ployes, he elambered down the out-
let. slipped the rope under Bussing’s
armpits. and helped pull him to safe-
ty.
Bussing was apparently dedfl. and
he and the unconscious Gregory went
to the hospital. Wardwell refused
medical aid, and is back at work to-
day.
The men lune all suffered 110111
the gas to such an extent that they
remember little of the affair. and the
story was only pieced together after
some time. They cannot remember
the iceman. or the young man who
voluntered to bring up‘ Bustling.
