Roberts and read at the ‘city commission meeting last night, demonstrated that nobody knows definitely what sort of title to his lot he has until he has had an abstract made of the lot, Mrs. Roberts said that she had paid taxes on a lot during the time she owned it from 1916 and { for every year since that time, but, as she intended to sell the lot and the house on it, she dis- covered, when an abstract of the property was made, that she was not credited with having paid! taxes for the year 1916. She told the commission that she had paid taxes for that year, but could not find her receipt. The conclusion was’ that, inad+ vertently, she had not been credited with the payment. She | asked for an abatement, and, on} recommendation of, City Manager King, the commission agreed to} eliminate the 1916 charge. | Dogs Of War | i i ONLY OWNERS FINAN. CIALLY ABLE WILL BE FORCED TO CHANGE TO SEWER SYSTEM Why is the city ordinance pro- | Viding for the cleaning of lots jand the razing of outhouses in Key West not enforced? That was the gist of a letter, read last night by City Clerk Roy ; Hamlin, at a meeting last night of the city commission. The letter was received from Charles E. Smith, Jr., secretary of the Central Civic Organiza- tion. Mr. Smith asked that the Jaw in question be published, so that Key Westers may familiar- ize themselves with it, The commission directed Clerk Hamlin to publish the measure in condensed form, and decided, after its publication, to enforce the law. But it was explained at the meeting that no property owner will be forced to suffer hard- ships in razing outhouses, con- necting his home with the sewer main and _ installing modern conveniences. That action will be taken only in cases of owners who are financially able to make ; those improvements. As to clean- ing of lots, the attitude at the meeting was that anybody who ; owns a lot should be in a posi- Martial Law May ‘Be Proclaimed In All Of Palestine i (By Asxéciated Prens) LONDON, June 19.—The Brit- ish announced today they are considering ., instituting martial law throughout Palestine because Guard Food — | . \ For Berliners | AP Newsfeatures | BERLIN. — Thousands of veg- | etable gardens are sprouting to help feed hungry Berliners and} |now, to make sure that those| who have sown shall reap, po- lice have arranged to guard these precious “calories patches” | with patrols of specially trained dogs. “What the industrious Ber- liner planted in the sweat of his brow that shall he al- | so reap.” stated the newspa- per Der Morgen, pointing eut that poachers were no doubt waiting covetously for the ‘potato, tomato and lettuce crops to appear in such gar- | den plots as those in the famed old Tiergarten. Taking the suggestion, the; short-handed Berlin police de-| partment started schooling 80} dogs for the job.

Toval of Jews and British tédops who have been killed during riot- ing reached 20 today. Armored cars and troops afoot, with RAF planes roaring overhead, are being used while a search is being made for five British officers that were kid- napped by Jewish terrorists. It is believed that the officers were taken out of town in a large box that had been loaded on truck. It is presumed that they are being held as hostages til! it is learned what British authori ties in Palestine are going to do with two Jewish extremists who have been condemned to die.
