An unearned run in the third to right field with the bases inning enabled the Raiders to, loaded which broke a tie in the nose out the Machinists in five} sixth Inning.

What’s that I hear, a chorus of noes? You're; mistaken, folks. Last Thursday Delio Cobo qualified in the; county clerk’s office to be a can-j didate for the Democratic nomi- nation, in the May primary, for} representative in the legislature from Monroe county, and that, fact was duly published in The; Citizen. Yesterday, three days! later, a Miami paper said: “Pre-| diction: That Dr. Delio Cobo will) qualify as a candidate for state representative.” You've heard) that fellow bark over the radio| about “Predictions of things to come”? Well, you'll find it ever so much more fun to try your, hand in “Predictions of things that are past.” e e ANOTHER THING The same Miami paper said in a vein of prediction: “That Frank Bentley, Maximo Valdez and Allan Parrish will be candidates for re-election on the county commission.” Probably Allan Par- rish will be, but not this year, for his term of office does not ex- pire till January of 1949. e e APPOINTMENT OF DION Look for the appointment of Fred Dion as city tax assessor and there will be some salary, attached to the job. Principally the job will be done from the standpoint that no one is avail- able to do it at present and Fred has. agreed to step in and carry! the load. It will probably be a, thankless job because all persons! whose taxes may be raised will] blame the city commission, City ; Manager Dave King and Tax As- sessor Fred Dion for the raise in taxes. Sam Pinder, Jr., I under- stand, has agreed to take the job but will only do the necessary bookkeeping and record keeping and will not establish policies. } His salary will be $210 a month. The Dion appointment is expect- ed to come’ through latea tonight following a final conference to- day. e e RAMSEY OUTSTANDING Someone was telling me the other day that Ernest Ramsey is getting to be one of the outstand- ing men of the community. Ern- est is chairman of the Aqueduct Commission, secretary of the City Electric System Utility Board, Municipal Hospital head (Miss Marie Hartell is superintendent of the Hospital itself). This calls for a lot of figures besides a great deal of policy making. Keeping these large accounts in order is a mammoth job and Ramsey has certainly taken on a big load. As this city grows there ‘must be more men big enough to shoulder | these loads. | e e NO NAVY ACTION Don’t attach too much stock to rumors going around that an un- favorable report on the Aque- duct Commission has been filed by a naval investigator and that there will be action following. CITY SPORTS Every Type of Play DIAMONDBALL at Bayview Park Field (Night Games) Games to be announced.

More records later. i completely ,even_ constructed , the Rest Beach housing projects \ The unfavorable report hes gone lin from an investigator who was ‘down here ahd was submitted to the Bureau of Yards and Docks but there will probably be no action on it. The line is \essen- tially a military line amd the Navy needs it very much, If the Navy took over the line it would probably receive adverse criticism | and unnecessary trouble stirred. Don’t believe local Naval forces are contemplating any sort of a proposal such as this and would probably even oppose it. The Aqueduct Commission and Navy are working together very har- moniously. e ° POLICE DISMISSALS Some say there will be police dismissals probably next month with the higher increase in pay Chief Eisner at a caucus last week warned police not to go into questionable places, to ac- cept no favors and to keep their noses clean. If this is not obeyed look for quick dismissal with- out further warning. e e FISH LIFE LATER No allotment for replacing of fish life in th City Aquarium has been placed in the $9,000 recommended by the Navy for doing the work. This is still something which has to be tak- en into consideration, e e JAMMED FOR POWER Just to show you how much the City Electric System. is pressed for power the Navy quite often has to feed ‘back power into the city lirfes’ when the load gets too great. The Navy has its own generat- ing plants on the station and has lines out to with .the understanding that when the power is upped at the City Electric System with the addition of the new engine that pew will be supplied the pro- ject. Key West In Days Gone By FROM FILES OF. THE CITIZEN OF JANUARY 14, 1936 County Tax Assessor J. Otto Kirchheiner said today that, evi- dently, many residents who filed applications last year for home- stead tax exemptions are under the impression that they will not have to file this year. He ex- plained that applications must be filed by April 1, else full taxa-} tion will be assessed. Mr, and Mrs. Chester Allen of Benson, N. C., and daughter, Li- tha, are visiting Mrs. Allen’s mother, Mrs. Maria Pinder. Mrs. M. S. Del Pino, Simon- ton street, entertained friends at bridge last night. The house and grounds com- mittee of the Key West Woman’s Club decided, at the meeting held yesterday, to give a trop- ical bridge luncheon at the club- house, Division street, Thursday afternoon, January 23.
