Made upon the establishments, which will bring money directly; to the city’s coffers. Incidental-j ly, probably the first of the new) monies the city is expecting to} get will be applied to police and} fire department salaries, tnus do-* ing away with any stigma of a! police force which may take “cer-| tain apples off certain fruit stands.” The present police chief is making an earnest effort to keep the force clean and is driv-! ing after more and more material for his men. ° . RECALL PETITION Another rumor which is making the rounds today states that there is a recall petition being circulat-; ed around which has 700 names| on it. We have checked quite a| bit this morning on this rumor} and have found no fire to'all the smoke. The rumor ‘stated’ 'that the recall petition was directeal against three of the commissi6én- ers and of course this would mean | the three commissioners which have the majority in the com- mission at present. But checking| here and there, the only informa- tion I can dig up is that “prob: | ably” a recall petition will be| circulated after six months as di-| rected against Commissioner W.! C. Sweeeting. The charter states| that you must have 35 percent of the registered voters sign the re- call petition beofre proceedings can be started and that only after six months, Then, too, comes the really important point. The pe-} titioners must prove that there! are grounds for dismissal. . . RECALL ELECTION According to the City Charter the commissioner named for re- ay simply resign or if he e city commission shall fix a day for holding a recall elec- tion... Any such election shall be} held not less th than sixty n thirty, no more ys, after the expira- tion of five days following the recal] petition beirig' filed. In the election another*name can be filled in to put afother person} in office but a majority of voters} must vote the new name. The/ ballots are printed simply “For} the Recall of ———_———— and Against the Recall of —. e e } MAYBE NEVER BE But, maybe, this will never ever be because so far I cannot see a majority of persons voting| against any of the present com-| missioners. | ° ° | TAXI STANDS | One of the questions which! will come up in the parking me-} ters business is the allocating of} taxi stands along Fleming and} along Duval, which will take up} a reascnable amount f° Spice. General areg of the’ preserit taxi stands seems to be favored. | ° . DDT NOVICE? Vho shduld come bouncing in the other day and want flying in Key West's being-organized Fly- ing Club but one’of the DDT plane Pilots from Boca Chica. These aviation pilots really have some outfits in dress blue. Plain blue sailor suit, then red hash marks and the rate on the sleeves and a set of gold wings on the “crow”, of the sleeve and another over the left breast pocket. This lit-} tle fellow, calm and rather nice; appearing, walked in and asked about the flying club and was o e NO SLACKS ALLOWED Cable Schooner Western Union is up on Key West Marine Rail- ways. This ship was built by Grand Cayman carpenters, some! of the best in the Caribbean, and} was constructed right here in Key}; West. The carpenters, by the way, who are greatly religious, put up a sign at the ship which stated in effect that any woman who had the indecency to appear in slacks or shorts in front of the men building the boat were not welcome. Guess things were dif- ferent out in the islands. The Western Union goes out at sea between here and Cuba and here and the mainland repairing the | cables which are the great arteries of international communications. Captain G. R. Steadman has come in with all sorts ’*of’ tales atiout big coral boulders! built around the cables, oi, big fish tangled u in them! atid other aittiauities, BE keeping the underwater—-wires. humming. ° ° | MOWER TROUBLE | Roy Hamlin, one of the officers| of the Stadium Committee, says he wants to go on record as stat- ing that no other group than the Stadium Committee will use the new motorized lawn mower which through city funds. The Recrea- is being ordered for the Stadium tion, Department is willing to buy a mower but can’t get any down here. Meanwhile, weeds are springing high. Two laborers are available, besides their other, to operate the mower when the Rec-| reation Division can obtain one. e ° WEFDY BOTANICAL GARDEN !

But it is worth the bites to see the sights. Then, too, I would like to see tropical fruit trees grown in the same area. ° .
