Ellingson added that he doesn’t believe in “retarding progress,” and so in compliance with Ordi- nance No. 233 that has been on the books for over 10 years, the construction company was given the right to blast. The construction company was given a letter by Chief Leroy Torres which stated “You are permitted to blast with dyna- mite for a period of three weeks on Square 41 in accordance with ordinance number 23.” With this permit, the company began blasting yesterday and to! carry the rocks and gravel to sur- rounding houses and the Adams’ dairy plant, caused_ considerable complaint. Aftetthe-veaction of the blasts this morning Ellingson called both Phil Toppino and Frank Bentley and advised them of the non-compliance with the Chief of Fire Department’s Torres or-j; ders. Mr. Toppino came to the man- ager’s office this morning and agreed to have one of his broth- | ers stay at the blasting area dur- ing all the time that future blast- ing is being done. City Manager Ellingson said that in addition, Chief Leroy Torres will make repeated per- | sonal inspections to see that his permit is being carried out to the letter.

OF COMMERCE PLANS AN OPEN MEETING The Key West Chamber. of Commerce will hold an _ open meeting next week to acquaint the public with the aims and pur- poses of the organization. The meeting, announced by President Maitland Adams, is tentatively scheduled for Wednes-: day, October 16, at 8 p.m., in the auditorium of the Monroe County High School, contingent upon be- ing able to secure that space. A more definite statement wil} be made by Mr. Adams next week. The meeting will be open to members, old and new, and to the public. STREET PATCHING TO BE ACCELERATED City Manager O. J. S. Elling- son today stated that the city is making an extra effort to patch holes in the streets, and that this work should be greatly accelerat- ed due to the fact that a meth- od of mixing aggregates with asphalt at a centrally located place instead of mixing on each individual spot as is the present practice, will be ingugurated. By using a mass production method for mixing instead of a decentralized method the City Manager feels that production will increase and that the crew of five that is needed to do the job may be reduced to three, and the other two men used for other badly needed services. A further saving in lost motion may be made by having a roller | for compressing instead of doing the job manually as is now the case. This new method will start the early part of next week to be used by the Public Service De- partment.

Pritchard's funeral parlor had arrjved first on the scene and taken John Scribner, Katie Yates and the other unidenti- fied girl to the local hospital where Katie Yates’ injuries had been ascertained to in- few teeth knocked out and a deep cut over the right knee. Charles Wonnick was taken to; the hospital by the police when they found that he was suffer- ing from a cut above the right jear. No arrests were made and Scribner stated that as soon as he is able he will report the acci- dent officially to the police de-j| partment. The red and yellow convert- ible was found about 300 feet in the bushes by Sandy's gar- age, and Mr. Caraballo, prop- rietor, estimates that the dam- age done is about $600. Shatierproof pane glass splintered but did not break, | which may have held the dam- age down somewhat.
