CORRECTION
Mr. Garry Gossett., who was sick
and unable to be interviewed by our

and informed us that the values of the
lands exchanged by Mr. Cleveland and
himself should have been ««0,000.00
instead of $100,000.00 as published in
last week's Beacon, and asked that
we kindly make this correction, as he
did not want anyone to think he had
inflated the value of his property be-
yond reason, but had simply asked
what it was really worth according to
a very conservative estimate. He was
also very positive and emphatic in
stating that he and Mrs. Gossett had
no intention of making their home
anywhere else than Palacios, and that
he had reserved a lot j»at south of
his East Bay Boulevard property, up-
on which he is planning to build a nice
home in the very near future.

ber of visitors have come for hunting
this season than usual.
