DEMERITT RESIGNS POSITION SEVERS LONG CONNECTION WITH MONROE COUNTY FERRY SYSTEM Captain Eugene Demeritt, for} ‘almost 10 years associated with the Monroe County Ferry System as master and also as manager over @ long period, has resigned. This morning when asked by The Citizen his reason for his re- signation, Capt. Demeritt said that he had been working steadily for 40 years and felt that a short va- gation was due. He also said that certain condi- tions now extant in the operation of the ferry service mace it prac- tical'y impossible for him to con- tinue. Asked if he had anything else in view he replied that he had two offers, but had come to no de- cision as yet. —_———- WOeee vescccssessoseseeee TEMPERATURES Lowest Highest Station— ast night last 24 hours Abilene 48 64 Atlanta . 40 44 Boston 22 46 Buffalo 14 36 ‘Charleston 58 Chicago 30 Denver 34 Detroit - 28 Galveston 60 66 Havana _ Huron 2 Backsonville . 76 Kansas City . 32 44 KEY WEST .. 72 81 Little Rock . 48 50 54 46 78 18 68 40 60 a4 46 34 48 32 84 40 ~12 ~~ een tipnemgapeeen et it was stated this! ‘Franklyn Arenberg, who was in the November election selected ferry | to fill the offic of justice of the|started renovating the interior Matecumbe! peace for the first Monroe county|and will have the office present- distriet, yesterday opened his of- fice at the corner of Fleming and Whitehead streets, ‘Peace Justice A'renberg said |this morning that the office has jonly been used at rare intervals jover a period of years and pre- Harold C.
