BROWN MAKING READY FOR FLORIDA'S EX-| / HIBIT IN WORLD'S FAIR OF SHORT TIME TALLAHASSEE, Fia., Jan. 21. (FNS).—With six candidates al ready in the field and more ex- pected to announce before the deadline for filing entries on Feb- ruary~1 is reached, interest in the race for the three seats on the Florida Supreme Court to be fill- ed.this year is running high. Two of the present members of the court up for re-election have opposition. Chief Justice William E. Ellis, whose term expires this year, will retire on full pay. Candidates opposing present thembers up for re-election have criticised the court for the manner in which it handled cases coming before it. Justice Rivers Buford, one of the candidates for re-elec- tion, has indicated that he is will- ing to debate that question with all comers. In a statement last week he said: “During the June term just ended the court disposed of 443 cases, and the total number of cases disposed of during the year of 1937 was 780. In the June term of 1936 the court disposed of 454 cases. Considering the multi- plicity of questions involved— many times there are scores in a single case—this record shows conclusively that the court has conduct his campaign during such time as his duties on the bench will permit him to be absent from the court. He is opposed by D. Stuart Gillis of DeFuniak Springs, it of the state senate, who in the field. Roy H. Chapman, ap- ernor Cone to the court made vacant Fred H. Davis, is .

Wednesday they went |fishing aboard Captain Ben De- meritt’s launch and Mr. Canfield brought in a 45-pound, four-foot- and-a-half-inch amberjack and a black grouper weighing 35 pounds. While fighting the grouper, Mr. Canfield’s light tackle broke, but seizing the line he pulled it in by hand and saved both the rod and reel and the grouper. Mr. Brown brought to boat a fairly’ large kingfish and grouper, and” both’ visitors caught various “other! specimens, including barracuda and yellowtails.

The opening of the Sarasota} Kennel Club gave the Racing; Commission one more track to} supervise during the 1936-37 sea-/ son, but this supervision was ac-} mplished with© 79 1 ¥m-! pre-| ment heads and general employees and 16 less employees in its intelligence and investigat- ing division, making a tota} of j113 less persons on the Racing Commission payroll for the 1936- 37 season than that of the pre- vious year. The records of the commission show that in the season of 1935- 36, the state had a total of 906 jracing days, employed 229 per- sons in supervision and 54 per- | sons as commissioners, attorneys, department heads, general office |and in its intelligence and in- vestigating division. Total at- tendance aggregated 1,854,292 per- sons who bet $38,826,132 through the pari-mutuel windows, giving the state a total revenue of $1,- 436,957.07 and a total operating cost of $315,359.74. For the season of 1937-37, the state had a total of 1029 racing days, employed 170 persons in Supervision and 20 persons as commissioners, attorneys, depart- ment heads, general office and in- telligence and investigating divi--| sion. Total attendance aggre- | gated 2,330,984 persons who bet, $50,121,647. through the pari-' mutuel windows, giving the state; a total revenue of $1,834,318.46/ and a total operating cost of} $210,282.50. | A summary of these two sea-/ sons shows that revenues in-| creased $397,361.31 and expenses decreased $105,077.24 for the sea-; son of 1936-37 as compared to the previous year, which made the operations of the Racing Com- mission worth $502,438.63. more to the state in the year just past. For those who like their statis- tics in a simpler form, it may be said that the Racing Commission spent 22 cents to collect each dol- lar of revenue received in the season of 1935-36, while it spent only 12 cents to collect each dol-|! lar of revenue received in the season of 1936-37. ! 4 West. the city contacting groups and in- Pio Key situation with” ref LAE LU Mr. Hilson has visited Key Key Westers, and others, for se- curing loans for building and also for renovation and remodeling.
