This won- derful riot has broken all sorts ‘of records in New York in regard to literally putting its many au- diences “in the aisle.” It is doubt- ful that the play needs any real introduction. At the next meeting of the Play- ‘ts on Monday the cast will be Selected. This will be np easy task and there are a great number of Toles to be filled. The: chief con- cern of the group is to get a uf- ficient number of men to try for the roles of the eleven male char- acters.

(jg), Hayes presented. a.very,|, interesting and enjoyable series of articles and poems to the group following the closure of the busi- ness at hand. -It is the policy of the players to select one or a few of the members to entertain at the meeting, and Mr. Hayes was well accepted for his.

G. Kilpatrick, representing the! Labor Relations Board of the Fed- eral Works Agency, in which he stated that Key West will after the war be able to. obtain a larger and better hospitab:than the one which is to constructed on Stock Island, and many other im- provements, prdviding that pub- lic officials begin now .to engage in a post-war planning program. Mr. Higgs requested the council to appoint a committee to work in conjunction with the Carpen- ter’s Union committee, and other agencies in the interest of the matter. The council appointed a committee as requested, compris- ing Councilmen Gerald Saund John Carbonell and Paul G. bury. A letter was read from R. B. Beck and Company concerning matters dealing with the city’s proposed purchase of the Key West Electric Company. One of the items contained in the letter from the engineering company, which is making a survey of the proposition for the John Nuveen Company, which is negotiating the deal, stated that they found ev- erything very satisfactory in the operation of the electric system, and said that all of the employes of the electric company were found to be very satisfactory, and that they would all be retained in AL the event that the deal is brought For Captam of f ciice to a successfu: conciusion A letter was received from Ver al C.
