Schonfield Opens Office Here for Real Estate

Simon C. Schonfield, a former Coral Gables builder, has opened a real estate office at 101 Andalusia Ave. Schonfield headed Schoney-Bilt Homes between 1947-50 and once attempted to construct a 61⁄2-story apartment at 720 Biltmore Way, the site of the highly controversial 12-story apartment recently proposed by A. H. Sakolsly. The new real estate broker lost out in his bid because the city felt the building was too much structure for the site.

Home Robbed

Nearly $1,000 in personal property was reported stolen from the home of Ernest Lieberman, 629 Bird Rd., Sunday. Lieberman told Officer Glenn. D. Arp that he returned home shortly before 9:30 p.m. to find a mink stole, 100 silver dollars, a portable sewing machine and other items missing and the house ransacked.

Did You Forget To Pay Those Taxes?

Coral Gables property owners are reminded by the city's Assistant Tax Collector, T. H. Cleary, that real estate and personal property taxes became delinquent April 1. Delinquent fees, according to Cleary, are now considered a lien against the property, in the same manner as special assessments. Therefore any waste fee that became due and payable on October 1, 1960, or before will be sold at the annual tax sale for non-payment of these liens. A list of delinquent properties will be available this week. The sale will begin at noon on May 26 in the Commission chambers, City Hall. Personal property taxes are subject to a 1 per cent penalty per month until paid, and deputy collection fees may be added if they are not paid for by May 1st. Information about delinquent real and personal property taxes, waste fees, occupational licenses or special assessments liens may be obtained from the Tax Collector's office in Coral Gables City Hall, HI 6-0881.
