Dopp, director of sanitation and public works, said yesterday. | If proposed state legislation, re- quiring the state to return cig- arette taxes to the cities, is pass- ed it would mean $60,000 revenue year for Key West, Dopp A utility tax, chiefly on !electricity, would provide more than $40,000 a year additional, he | said. ; | With this income of better than ; $100,000 a year from the two taxes the city could build 23 miles of sewer and meet all its , paving needs in eight years, the ' public works director explained. | Complete sewerage construction would cost $303,000, while the streets could be put in first-class condition for $500,000, he esti- mated. Revenue on utilities could be realized by keeping electricity rates intact, Dopp said, instead jof lowering them. Under this ‘plan the surplus above what | would have been realized under lower rates would be used for sewerage and paving construc- tion. The more sewerage constructed at one time, the director said, the | cheaper it becomes per foot. For example, 680 feet of sewerage re- ; cently constructed for the school system cost four dollars a foot but 23 miles of construction con- age, said today that he was walk- ing along Southard street about 8 o’clock when Veal struck up a conversation and invited him to | Sewers Advocated | take a drink with him and a girl friend in Veal’s room in a house on William street behind the Bayview Apartments. Shepherd accepted the invita- tion, but “the first drink put me to sleep,” he said. The next thing he knew, he added, he was in the police station where Policeman for questioning. Meanwhile, Caraballo had an- swered a call to go to the corner of Caroline and William street where residing on Pickens Lane, had a firm hold on Veal about 8:30 p.m. Veal had been making a hasty exit, carrying a suitcase ‘contain-! ing his clothing. The young man holding Veal showed Caraballo where, he said, Veal had thrown’ a package just before being seized. The package proved to contain Shepherd’s $180. Upon going Caraballo found Shepherd with his head in a bowl, where the older man _ had ently been placed in an attempt to revive him. Shepherd was taken to the police station where he was finally revived. He said that the girl he was talking with, along with Veal, prior to drink- ing the “Mickey Finn,” lives at the Overseas Hotel. “I must ‘have been doped,” Shepherd said. He added that he had had nothing else to drink.

STATE OF VIRGINIA (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.—Gov- ernment attorneys were reported today to be prepared to argue against the contention of the John L. Lewis attorneys, at the trial beginning at 10 o'clock to- morrow morning, that he was not in contempt of court because he did not say or do anything, re- garding the threatened coal strike, after November 15, when he in- formed J. A. Krug, secretary of the Department of the Interior, that the United Coal Miners of America, considered the union's contract with the government would expire at midnight No- vember 20. The coal strike entered its sixth day today. Twenty-one states have issued orders for a dimout, and all railroad trains, operated by coal, have been discontinued. From Richmond, Va., news was | received here that that state has begun action against Lewis, charging him with having vio- lated Virginia’s security law. The attorney general of Vir- ginia explained that the security law provides that all transactions that require the payment of fees must be listed, and that Lewis, in “selling” memberships in the coal unions in that state, did not register the sales with the secur- ity commission. It was suggested today that ‘Lewis confer with mine owners, and disorderly.
