Yesterday Mr. Greenberg met Everett Rivas and after a brief chat, Mr. Rivas invited the visi- tor to take a ride and see the sights. Within a brief time Mr. Greenberg had arrived at the conclusion that Key West people were the most hospitable he had encounterd in his travels, that Key West was a very interesting} city and he was enjoying every minute of his stay. Before he left on the plane yesterday afternoon, accompanied by his niece, Miss Thelma Gold- stein, Mr. Greenberg purchased a number of curios several hundred cigars and insisted that the name “Key West” was was to be plac- ed on each box, and declared that his trip wag one of the most ins teresting and entertaining he had ever enjoyed, He said he had teen in a very disturbed and dissatisfied frame of mind when he arrived in this source: | “Old Age Assistance as pro- HOME OF WATSONS | vises inser we 1937 Porta Wer | fare Law and the National Se- Mr. and Mrs, Robert Watson | curity Act is not a pension.

The question of. occupational licenses was taken up and thor- oughly discussed. It was brought to the attention of the council that there are many one handling fresh meats, which it was stated are not paying the necessary license, which was shown to be in competition with those who do pay the required license for handling these prod- uets. Practically every line of goods handled by different merchants, in addition to various other busi- nesses and professions, which come under the head of licenses, was gone over, with the ides of fixing a proper amount to be col- lected in the way of occupational licenses. The time for payment of ocen- pational licenses begins on Octo- ber 1, and the council has decided to have the new schedule ready in order that there may be no delay in making collections from those doing business in the city in va- jrious capacities.
