Rope Plant At St James City To Begin Operations
A $65 000 rope making plant using sisal hemp will soon start operation at St James City on Pine Island Lee County. Large sisal hemp stocks on the islands will be turned into rope and related products. Congressman Sparkman has introduced a $100 000 public building bill for Bradentown. The proposal moves through local Boards of Trade and would classify Manatee County’s seat as a $100 000 post office town once funds are approved for site purchase and erecting the building.
