Key West Improvement Inc., for the purchase of land and bay bottom land from the company. A deposit receipt of $15,000 down payment and the agreement were both signed by Mrs. Van Deursen, the complaint says. The land includes seven blocks adjacent to Roosevelt boulevard.

The company agreed, said Navarro, to make a survey of the land and to turn over the deed. Mrs. Van Deursen "refused and neglected the said survey', and the company has refused delivery of an abstract and a warranty deed.

Navarro asks for the deed and for damages of $30,000 the amount of income the company says it would have earned from a motel.

The delay in consummation of the sale agreement has prevented it from building the motel and realizing this income this year, Navarro company says.

Circuit Court Judge Aquilino Lopez, Jr., ruled that Navarro had to amend its bill of complaint. This, the company refused to do. Lopez said, hence the appeal to the Florida State Supreme Court.

Representing Navarro are J. Y. Porter and Abe and Sidney Aronovitz. Representing Key West Improvement, Inc., are Paul Sawyer and S. Pierre Robineau, Miami.
