E. C. officials announce the; last excursion of the year from Miami to Key West Saturday and} Sunday of this ‘week. The same| prices prevail,. 01.50 for the; round trip. Advance sale of tickets indicate the arrival of about 1,500 visitors. This announcement was made yesterday afternoon by Lynn J. Irmin, district passenger agent of the Florida East Coast Railroad who was in Key West yesterday. Mr. Irwin met with County Clerk Ross C. ‘Sawyer to discuss the proposals made in a letter to the company relative to extending the time of excursionists in Key West several hours. This pro- posal was made to the board of commissioners at the last meeting, in a communication signed by local merchants, Mr. Sawyer wrote the request } to the officials of the railway and Mr, ‘Irwin decided’ to’ personally convey his ‘reply in order-to ora | the reasons why this action on the part of the road would work a hardship on many of its patrons. Many of those, said Mr. Irwin, who come to Key West on the ex- cursions drive their automobiles from 50 to 100 miles to Miami to take the train. Arranging the schedule for trains to leave sev- eral hours later on the return from Key West, would mean that num- bers of the excursionists would not reach their homes before the next morning. However, the departure of the trains from Key West will be 40 minutes later in the future, said Mr Irwin, as the schedule to be; adopted on December 15 is 5:40; o’clock instead of 5 as it now is. NO NAME GARAGE IS TORN DOWN CORNER LOT TO BE BEAUTI- FIED BY CWA COM. MITTEE That unsightly building known as No Name garage at the corner of Front and Duval streets is being rased and the entire lot is to un- dergo a transformation. Miss Mollie Parker, chairman of the Beautification Committee of the CWA, decided that the sight was painful to visitors, as she her-' self had a feeling of abhorrence when she saw the building and its surroundings. Gaining the consent of the own- ers yesterday to tear down the structure and beautify the spot, Miss Parker asked for a number| of men from the relief rolls. These were assigned and early this morning the work of demolish- ing the structure was started and the beautifying plans will be car- ried out as soon -as the area is ready for the plans to be put into effect.

POSITIO ACTION TAKEN AS RESULT OF RULING PERTAINING TO CITY OFFICIALS is oe Leo Warren, president of the. city council, has resigned his ‘po- sition as supervisor of construc- tion on'C. W. A. projects ‘in Key West. Understanding that it was not the intention of the government to permit city or county employes to act in two capacities, Mr. War- ren tendered the time book and other data to Arthur Sheppard, (By Associated Press) TALLAHASSEE, Fia., Dec. 14. — The federal government, through its civil works administra- tion, holds out no hope of im- mediate employment for nearly 50,000 persons registered on federal re-employment agency lists in Florida. Harry Hopkins, federal CWA administrator, and Alan John-| stone, southeastern district ad- ministrator, informed the state CWA headquarters here that prospects for employment for these persons were not in - view at present, : Florida’s allocation of 85,500 persons in the national CWA pro- gram is not sufficient to take care of persons now actually on federal emergency relief administration rolls, and the CWA provision was that these should come first in consideration for employment. An additional 19,500 are being paid weekly amounts for work under direction of the ‘emergency relief} ‘administration. Aoray of hope for ‘the vast number in the’ re-employment} rolls was’ provided, “however, through quickening of business in} general as the civil works payroll in ‘Florida claims steadily toward $1,000,000 a week.: Many Withdrawn Already, said Chairman C. B. Treadway, hundreds of persons who were on relief rolls have ob- tained employment in private; business, notably the citrus and} winter crop harvesting, and have| withdrawn from the relief rolls. Definite figures were not avail- able, he said. Considering the plight of per-, sons who registered with the re- employment service, but who had not actually been on emergency! relief rolls, Chairman Treadway,! who also is chairman of the state road department, sent this appeal| to highway contractors: “Whenever you need employes in carrying out your contracts, call upon the federal re-employ- ment agencies to provide them. Persons on relief rolls will be pro- vided employment through” the! civil works projects which are not. under contract.” z Treadway said the road depart- ment, in selecting men for. work fit does with its own forces, is choosing them from the re-em- ployment lists, in order that the spread of employment may be as ‘wide as possible. Vast Expenditures | At present, the road depart- ment has under execution con- tracts totalling about $4,000,000. These are being paid for out of he state’s $5,231,000 share of e federal $400,000,000 emer. gency highway construction pro- gram. Contracts for an additional $1,000,000 will be awarded during the next 60 days. Chairman Treadway said numer-; ous other state road projects started under the civil works were selected only to provide employ- ment for men as rapidly as pos-| sible. They are of such nature} that' they can be suspetided’ when. county CWA boards ' agree ' oh, worthwhile public projects’ which will provide jobs for men on’ re- lief ‘rolls, Treadway said. Meanwhile, the CWA ‘executive! committee; by formal resolution,) designated as primary — projects! the repairs to schools and roads damaged in last September’s storm} that raked across central Florida.)

In these messages, how many have been actuaily sent has not been learned, the. senders set forth their severe criticism of the manner in which employment of skilled and unskilled, labor has been carried out, it is understood, and a request that the chief ex- ecutive investigate conditions is embodied. One official of the organiza- tion was approached by one of j the complainants and advised of the action he intended taking and asked for comment. The official replied that a message to the president may bring results. At least it was a good idea to inform the president of the mismanagement of affairs, as he the sender of the message saw it, and in the event of an answer being received may have some matters clarified that at present are not thoroughly understood. Whether any satisfactory results have been received by the objec- tors has not been learned.

As a result, the committee made formal notification to county boards that persons who now have jobs. are not to be considered for employment in the CWA: projects. Only persons actually on the Emergency Relief lists can be con- sidered for the jobs. As the CWA swung into its sec- jond week of active existence, a | tabulation showed it had approved expenditure of $5,460,953, of which only $1,272,377.74 is for materials. Projects covered by these allo- cations were expected to provide 11,097,650 man-hours of work, out of th state’s total allotment of 29,754,000 hours. The Civil Works program will cease February 15, unless con- gress, in the meantime, makes pro- visions and appropriations for car- rying it onward.
