Editor, The Citizen: It has. come io our notice, through your paper, that the ord- inante, which calls for a distanee of 300 feet between places where liquor is sold-and all churches and schools, is in danger of being _ Set aside by the City Council. There is no need for this . change. On the contrary, there * is @ great need that such protec- tion as the above ordinance does - give should not be taken away Barometer reading at 8 a. m.: Sea level, 30.28. WEATHER FORECAST (Till 7:30 p. m., Friday) Key West and Vicinity: Partly cloudy with mild temperature to- night and Friday; moderate east- erly winds. Florida: Partly cloudy tonight and Friday; continued mild. Jacksonville to Florida Straits and East Gulf: Moderate easterly winds over south and moderate variable winds over north por- tion, and partly overcast weather tonight and Friday.

Moderate rain has occurred during the last 24 hours in Pa- cific coast districts, light snow from the northern Rocky Moun- tain States eastward along the northern berder into the Lake Superior region, and light rain or snow from Missouri eastward over the Ohio Valley and lower Lake region to the middle and a in Bs. ea and southern Plains eR and middle Missis- ‘sippt and Ohio Valleys, and Lake “fegion,. but readings are still above normal throughout the greater part of the country. CLYDE SMART IS NOW IMPROVING who resides at ces street, is reported to lowly improving from a se- rious illness. His many friends wish for him @ speedy and complete recovery. Cc Smart, 903 F be from the seliool children and the large number of the citizenry who desire this protection. There are many who, though not regarding , this questian as seriously as do somte others, yet value the dignity and sanctity that should surround the church of their choice. The ordinance now in effect is one that is honored in most cities of our country. Key West cannot afford to subscribe to anything that will lower its standing among other communities and lower our own self-respect. We speak for many others who are interested in the welfare of our churches , and schools. MRS. A.'D, LUETHE: MRS. W. W:DEMBRITT, . MRS. B. A: BAKER, MRS. G. F. ARCHER. MRS. K. M. SANDS.

Mr. Singleton, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, said it was his belief that the reorgan- ization of the project in Key ‘West would add at least 25 per cent to the interest being taken in the city by visitors.

Ladd, S.C. Singleton, Wm V. Knapp, addressed the board rel- a fire prevention precau- t m the bridges. Joining with Mr. Trevor was W. J. Ingling. a visitor from the west, who had a great deal of ex- perience and believed that these precautions would.be,,of great valué in saVih#he bridges from destruction by. fire. The idea_is-to have round .bot- tom buckets placed in réceptacies on the bridges-at:certain --desig- nated places, which are tobe de- ed and to the buckets ropes wil e attached. Ropes and buckets will be dipped in an as- phaitum liquid which lengthen the life of both bucket and ropes, and also act as a deterrent to theives who may be tempted to take them. It was explained that the ap- plication of the liquid would be a surface hard to remove except by iy scouring with coal oil for tal hours, and even after that the buckets would be practically useless for usual purposes. It was decided that before any steps were taken in the matter it first be taken up with the Road Department and the would bé decided follow- ing their, answer.

Shaft and bearings of a crank shaft on one of the ferries was ordered taken to Miami for weld- ing by a new method. Purchase of a new shaft would entail an expense of about $1,400, and the welding process will cost 3600 and the piece of machinery will be ready in about five days, and guaranteed. Manager Demeritt said that the shaft would be taken by him to Miami teday and the matter per- sonally explained. William Egan, operator of the Key West Information Booth at Miami, explained that there has been a great deal of criticism of the operation of the booth both in Miami and Key West. In Miami, it was either the Herald or News ‘Hello’ Means All Things To All People (My Axnociated CHICAGO, Feb. 10.—A visiting! cowhand told a Chicago editor that “out my way if you don’t cay hello to folks on the second or third meeting they're suspicious or you'll have a fight on your; hands.” The editor sent out a reporter to try rural cordiality on city folks.

As for the charge that he is away from the booth most of the| time, he admitted it, saying he} had been constructing Key West signs at highway locations and working on having-a new slip put in at Bahia Honda. Com- plaints that Mrs. Egan is not the qualified person to conduct the booth when he was away are un- justified Mr. Egan said. One of the criticisms, Mr. Egan said, was that she had never taken the in- terest to visit Key West. | Misinformation has come from the Miami-Key West excursion tour bus station and also from other travel agencies, which cut out the Key West ferry schedule and paste the name of their own agencies below, and not from the!
