Mr. Campbell said that the area in which the work is being con- | ducted has been fenced off andj} no one is allowed to enter unless! by permission of an official of the company which must be in; written form. 1 Asked by The Citizen how deep the machinery now in use could sink a well, Mr. Campbell said that the drilling outfit could sink a well to a depth of 10,000 feet, that the drilling company’s, present contract was for 6,000 feet, but that at this time the depth reached was just 1,000 feet.

The vessel has been designated ‘to go to the Dinner Key seaplane {base for the purpose of relieving | |buoys and other important work jom aids to. navigation, but has jbeen prevented leaving because of uncertain weather conditions. Were the waters of the Intra- coastal Waterway navigable for intendent W. W.

NEW “E” PLANE GIVEN TRIAL LONDON.—Imperial Airways’ new “Ensign” or “E” class 40- | seater airliner was tried out over this city recently. A high wing monoplane with four Armstrong- Siddeley engines providing 3,- 400 H.P. and a top speed of 200 MP.H., it is 114 feet long and | weighs 21% tons. The machine is the first of 14 to be built for 'the Imperial Airways Continent- jal and Empire routes. this type of vessel. said Super-i Ewen said. | The fish, according to the af- fidavits, was 58% inches in ‘length and nad a girth of 22 5-8 finches. It was caught on a |Pfleuger Templar reel with a jlight Thomas Wilson rod. Mr. McEwen said he had _ lost. his ;smaller high test line and had substituted 24 thread heavy cot- ton line. This facilitated the catch which was made in an ,hour. On one of the fish’s runs it took out all the line on the reel, about 260 feet before it was stopped. * When Mr. McEwen hooked the fish hé turned to his companions and Asked that they stop the boat as he, felt he had snagged the bot- tom. Even after the fish had been brought into the small skiff r McEwen said he did not know it was a record fish. He will stop at Miami to register the fish with Erl Roman, interna- early Spring. and Mangroves”; Eleanor Reed—' sailing to her destination in the tional sport fishing authority.

Mr. Ladd said that it was an- |ticipated there would be more than 1700 sold to owners in Mon- roe county but there have been sold to date not more than 715, which is far from the expected number. There is an unusual rush of tag buyers as the last days of the pe- riod draws near for sales to be brought to a close, the tax collec- tor said, and there will have to be a steady stream of! buyers from this day forward, he said, if the ; quota for Monroe county is to be J reached.
