A fearless city official, Comp- tfolier Charles W. Berry, in a publie statement recently, has ex- posed the fact that the 5-cent fare really is about an 8-cent fare. He has shown that the city is being compelled to pay. out of its taxes the difference between the cost of the ride and the fare paid. This @mounts to almost 3-cents on each ride or approximately $13,- 000,000 a year. The deficit has been hidden by not collecting eeeeseeseessese s : * RECOLLECTIONS * OF OLD KEY WEST . ‘ ° ‘ (By Edwin Mulrennan oeeeeeeeeseerve Reading in The Citizen a few days ago that the chief of the Key West Fire Department was about to demolish some of the old dilap- idated buildings about town, among them the old house on the south side of Southard street midway between Duval and White- | head streets, the old home of Fer- nando J. Moreno, where all of his children were born, excepting Stephen R., who was born in Pen- sacola. The children were Fer- nando, Cora, Louisa, Maggie and Mason. I remember well when Judge and Mrs. Douglas, who lived next to my father’s house, corner of Greene and Fitzpatrick streets, the judge’s office standing opposite his house, an old dilapidated building now occupied by Manuel Pino as a cigar factory, when. Mrs, Douglas and my mother used to go up to Mrs. Moreno’s to spend the day, always taking along one of Advertisements under this head the rate of 1c a word for each in- sertion, but the minimum for the first insertion in every instance is 25e, Advertisers should give their street address as well as their tele- phone number if they desire re- | sults.

Berry, in his public statement, has pointed out that the loss of $18,000,000 a year is not the worst part of the situation. The fact that this money is being lost also has acted in a legal way to tie up. the several hundred million about to be made available for building. new. subways. Berry points out that unless the situa- tion is remedied, New York City not only will face a terrific defi- cit which may ruin its credit, but also will be prevented from ex- tending its lines. The extensions are badly needed. Schools, hos- pitals and other public institutions ate suffering because of lack ‘of fonds. As a result of Berry’s state- “ment, an interesting political sit-} nation has arisen.
