It was directed that the Key West Chamber will begin a cam- Paign in the state among various Chambers of Commerce for re- lieving the tolls on the highway. The Chamber announces that if it is possible to liquidate the outstanding indebtedness of the highway that free passage over the road probably can be real- ized. A. Maitland Adams, general! manager of the Overseas Trans portation Co,, said that the Over- seas Highway has the only toll bridge in Florida within the stete-maintained highway sys- tem It was reported that there was $3,150,000 of outstanding bonds against the highway. It was pointed out that $185,000 of the bonds will be liquidated April 1 by the Ov s Toll Bridge district. The bonds are slated all to be retired in 1958. It was requested by the Cham- ber directors that all citizens of | Lancelot Lester's salary to $2,400 | the city should apply pressure where they can toward assisting im cutting out the tolls on Over- seas Highway. “The entire state would bene- mit by the additional gasoline | tax which would be collected from motorists who would travel the highway if the tolls were re- moved,” Adams said. a The Weather FORECAST Key West and Vicinity: Cloudy ; with occasional light rain tod: and moderate to heavy shower: tonight and Thursday.

Little _¢lared his “I am against radios for the police and fire departments and against codifying the city laws. Although it would be a fine move it is something which can be eliminated this year.” Cooper said he did not agree with the Jaycees and the League that the city manager's salary should be cut from $6,000 to $4,- 800. He said he favored $3,600 salaries for both Roberts and Dopp. Roberts received $3,600 in °46 also. Commissioner John Carbonell also joined the landslide against the radio equipment and codifi- cation and fire and police ve- hicles. He differed with Louis Carbonell, however, regarding the latter’s opposition to hiring ‘an assistant city attorney. The Jaycees and the League had also Road and| backed the younger Carbonell on | this item. Favors Attorney's Raise John Carbonell spoke vigorous- ly for raising City Attorney J. and for hiring an assistant city attorney at $150 per month, He also answered the repeated con- tention of Scher and Burt Gar- nett that the maintenance and operation items throughout the budget ‘were extraordinarily high. John Carbonell said that the total for maintenance includ- ; ed gas, oil, tires, batteries and servicing. Scher and Garnett,} however, claimed that $25,000- $30,000 per year for vehicle maintenance is entirely too! high when the city has a muni- cipal garage. | Mayor W. W. Demeritt de-| views had already been expressed by John Car-} bonell. Harden said early in the meet- | ing that all salaries should re- maim unchanged from 1946, pro- j tested against the $1,700 item for the fire chief’s car and asked why the budget provided for an assistant attorney.

Many times the sender shows unusual taste in selecting a scent which comes in a heart-shaped package or one which has a name which will do Cupid justice. It isn’t difficult to find a ro- mantic name. It just depends how far you want to go. Remember though, if you can possibly get the romantic name and a good suitable scent for your jlady love, she will appreciate the winning combination.
