Their places were this morning taken by luxurious and commodions street busses, which type of service will be maintained by the Key West Electric Company for Key West \in future. There are six of the busses in operation at the present time, in- cluding those that started some months ago, and they are cover- ing practically the same routes of the old troliey cars, but there is {an improvement in the schedule viding for the extension of time! \limit for reinstating and convert-| |ing war term insurance one year, or until July 2, 1927. There is; also a provision for the director, to extend the time beyond July 2, | 1927, for conversion when such) jconversion is made “impracticable ‘or impossible due to the mental! condition or disappearance of the, insured.” Under such extension “there shall be allowed to the in-|_ sured an additional period of two Lyears from the date on which he! recovers from his mental disabil’ty | in which . to ¢on-| and reappears, vert.” Another feature of the amend-| ment is the provision “that When | the amount of ‘an individual’ ‘monthly payment ‘is less than $5 eae aw pe disbursed annually.” He is also euthorized to issu, in addition to. the forms of converted policies al-| {ready provided for, a five-year |level premium term policy, and to permit the reconversion of any converted policy to a higher or \lower premium rate at any future \time.

The first street car sysiem in Key West started in 1884 and was {operated with mule cars until 1898, when the people here first ha‘led the appearance of the elec- | tricalty operated irolley car, The | trolley must now pass out to be followed by the greatest innova- | tion yet for street passenger transportation service, large and convenient. busses, which afford a greaer degree of comfort and | also safety for both passenger and | pedestrian, since they reccive and , discharge passengers at the side- walk, «nus affording immunity from danger of injury from pass- ing traffie and providing an easy and convenient ny of entering and leaving the busses. Key West is one of ‘he first of j the southern cities to adopt this modern mode of transportation to replace electric cars entirely, and it speaks well for the progress of the city and the enterprise of the operating concern.
