E. Day told The Citizen today, “is to raise funds to publish many more of the Key West Booklets which comprise rtinent information about Key West together ‘with a tour of the city. Later we intend to form the committee as a permanent ad- vertising committee”. At the Junior Chamber of Commerce meeting last night, S., C.

The City Council does not need a two thirds vote to override the veto of the mayor of the city. It needs but a majority! The Citizen yesterday stated that the absence of Doughtry al- lowed the council -to ovcrride Mayor Willard M. Albury’s veto of the twice—amended liquor or- dinance allowing John Blackwell to operate bis alcoholic dispensing shop in front of the Harris Scheol after school hours. Doughtry, extremely ‘chagrined yesterda: morning, when another council- man phoned and informed _ hift that his absence allowed the passing of the amendments, did not know this, Other councilmen didn’t either, though you couldn't get them to say so. President Earl Adams said that he read all laws in connection with the council operations when he first went into offie so that he could judge such cases. City Attorney and Mr. Adams this morning then pointed out the sections in question to The Citizen: According to the statutes the State of Florida the ma jority overriding of a veto w: allowed in 1927 repealing the two- thirds vote required in a 1919 laws.

Finds Charm Not seeing the real charm of Key West in a summary tour of the: city the Stones were disap- pointed with their visit to the city at first until Mr. and Mrs. Walden took them in tow and gave them a complete tour of the city from Aquarium to Tur- tle Crawls after which they were delighted with the city. Today the Waldens and Stones are out deep sea fishing in a sail- boat and will encamp on the beach at a nearby island for lunch. The group will go fishing again tomorrow. A feature of the tour yesterday was a Spanish dinner, “dutch” treat, which Mr. Stone insisted on in deference to the fact that school teachers usually get very little pay. A speaking engagement today upstate was cancelled when ti charm of city began to fall upon the s. They will re- turn Mone Contractor M. J. Herre who was in charge of the construction of the station tells The Citizen that he has heard many admiring re- marks made on the beauty of the sign and is glad to say that Key West is more mod- ern than other Florida cities in this respect.
