Assistant State Attorney Will- {iam V. Albury said he would ap- , Peak the case to the supreme , court, a procedure that is adher- jed to in cases of that nature, so ; that validation of bonds cannot ' be questioned by buyers, in the event the bonds are approved by ‘the highest court in the state. Outstanding question regard- ing the beach bonds centered on .the wording of “qualified electors who are freeholders” in Monroe county. In the election the qual- ified list was made up of voters who had signed an affidavit as- serting that they were freehold- ers, and a majority of them fav- ;ored the issuance of the bonds. | Attorney Albury based his ob- jection on another section of the bond laws, which holds that all ' freeholders, who. are qualified as electors, are eligible to vote in }an election of that nature. He estimated that, at the time the election. was held, freeholders, who were ‘qualified électors, numbered more than 1,800 in Monroe county, and that a ma- jority of that number did not participate in the election, U.S. A.

WASHINGTON, June 28..—, have resulted’ in consumption of Monroe county consumers used 65,633 more pounds of meats, fats and oils and sugar annually dur- ing World War II than they did during World War I, it was re-, vealed today by* the department of agriculture. | Using the 1943 civilian popula- tion as the basis for comparison for World War Il, and applying 1918 consumption figures to that population, it is found that the World War I rate of consumption would have resulted in greater conservation of sugar and fats and oils than the World War I rate. i Only item where World War II consumption rates were lower than World War I was in meats, At World War I consumption rates, Monroe county’s 19,889 residents in 1943 would have eaten 101,433 pounds more meat than they did. | Sugar consumption in 1943 in Monroe county was : pounds greater than it would have been under the World War I voluntary conservation system. } World War I's system would Auto Cars Fiber Seat Covers ROY’S KEY WEST AUTO PARTS | 121 Duval Street \ wewueees Phone (42a Aan ame thon Re it Sane a j Palace Theater | KIRBY GRANT in “CODE of the LAWLESS” | | News and Serial | RUTH'S BEAUTY SALON 409 GRINNELL STREET Phone 863 Announces that MISS ANN ADAMS js 55,689 fewer pounds of fatsand oils in ‘Monroe county than was consumed under the ration card system. Comparisons between the two methods of conservation become significant as. serious considera- tion is now being given to re- storing rationing on meats and fats and oils and extending it to wheat, in addition to retaining it on sugar. This has been pro- posed as a means of meeting U. S. committments to feed starving populations throughout the world. OPA officials have frowned and smiled alternately, on pro- posals to restore and extend ra- tioning. Opposed to rationing is former President Herbert Hoover, whose job in World War I was direct- ing food conservation efforts in this country. Summing up the case for methods he used in World War I, he said: “1. No black markets. No local famines. No card rationing system. Prices advancing less rap- idly than now, taking into ac- count bla¢k market prices and bsidies. “5, Less consumption per cap- ita by the civilian population than that which was had in the 1944.” 2. “4 ar ——__——_—— _ Asse ARE aac SLOPPY JOE’S BAR Where You Can Get the Best Drinks in Town YOU NAME IT—WE HAVE IT!
