Summary: Model Land Company sales agent Frank Pepper writes to president James Ingraham that a Mr. D. P. Council of Lake Worth and Boynton wishes to sell his property because the Drainage District taxes are too high, and that he has found a possible buyer, Alfred Minsos of Christiana, Norway, who desires the land to have Norwegian settlers build a colony of farmers there. Mr. Council plans to donate 40 acres to be developed into a community center, with houses, a store, a club-house, a fruit and vegetable packing shed, and a lighting plant. Council and Minsos request the Company to donate land on which they can build a rock road.
