Map of a proposal to develop Fairhope into a planned Organic City, submitted to the Fairhope Single Tax Corporation in 1920 by Signor Cipriano Montoliu. In the November 1, 1920 FSTC Council Meeting, Secretary Gaston was "instructed to communicate to Sr. Montoliu the hearty appreciation of his interest and his carefully worked out plans, the same to be more fully considered at earliest opportunity." Montoliu was a Spainard and a single-taxer who was sponsored and befriended in the United States by Fiske Warren, founder of the Tahanto Single Tax Colony and a member of the FSTC. Warren traveled with him to Fairhope for introductions. Montoliu was a member of the Organic School (School of Organic Education) faculty for a short time. Montoliu's article "Fairhope A Town Planning Scheme for Its Development into an Organic City" was published in Fiske Warren's journal "Enclaves of the Single Tax." See 30.1.1-23 in these Archives to read the article. From the Fairhope Single Tax Corporation Archives. Courtesy of the Fairhope Museum of History, Donelson Collection. |
