’ pila st CS eT AAAS tone am memes: SIN ET poe eligi abe TT BILL LEE * Polls on Overseas Highway “should no longer be charged, eos many “lieve. “The state ought to make pas- sage over the roads and the 3 bridges absolutely free”, said one «businessman this week. The state collects gasoline taxes, :¢doesn’t it? And at 7 cents a gal- lon the total runs pretty high. ‘f" “Suppose only 100,000 cars come down here every year. Its “certain that without the bridges .,and the road the ears could not ome here. The distance from Mi- ami is about 165 by car. Round _ftrip totals 330 miles. “a “Roughly it takes about 25 gallons. of gasoline to go from “Miami to Key West and back t “Miami again. That. figures to afound 2.500.000 gallons of gaso- ‘“Jine for 10,000 cars on which the state collects 7 cets a gallon. t #900 a year. es “Overseas Highway is an asset % the state. The state should set it free. The entire bond issue of } fe highway is less than $3,000,- 80, I understand. The state ®6uld wipe that off the books in no time at all.” * “We agree with that man’s “views. The state should make Oversea Highway free. It is the wpply..toll road in the state and to @ continue to charge $1.25 for a car jand driver seems silly. Rae ee. * It isn’t often that a man comes jright out openly and tells a }nmewspaperman a story he wrote : the previous day was very good. j They usually tell you when its “wrong, but rarely when it’s * right. .. “A story you wrote yesterday really got results,” said Charles .

Wardlew: to the writer the ‘other dey. “Why. even the , Humane Sotiety is backing the drive for rabies injections into } Shree members of the city “commission now see the need for Sa better system of dog catching ‘for the city.

They usual- ly sit on a regular seat or on boxes, preferably the boxes. “Let's clean up around here,” suggested one of them, and promptly got a broom. Then he stood back and bossed the job. At all events the spot is ciean. |, xk *k * Harold A. Laubscher, acting manager of the Kev West Chamber of Commerce, is glad to be back in this city after spend- ing a week in the University of North Carolina learning C of C practices and such like. Enroute to Chapel Hill, N. C., where the university is located, Harold got H. G. Williams, presi- | dent of the Gulf Atlantic Trans- portation Company, of Jackson- ville, on the telephone and tried {, to make an appointment . with him, Wilhams’ is -head of: the ; company: which: ptans to, operate: the ferry system ‘to Havana!" ‘“¥m' not selling anything and I’m not offering anything,” said Laubscher over the telephone to Williams. Williams said he was going to Pittsburgh the weekend. Laubscher said he would be in Jacksonville again. “So I didn’t get to see Willi- ams”, said Laubscher. “But I have a friend who saw the ferry, the Carib Queen, at Jackson- ville. He tells me work is soon to be started to finish the ferry.” It is difficult to see how the ferry could be operating here by December 1. The ferry is not finished and nothing has been done yet about building the wharf and dredging the channel at the foot of Duval street. x * * It seems certain, if Congress appropriates the fund, that Key West will shortly be made the permanent seat of a rather new | section. Navy officers here will not discuss the coming of the section, for the nature of it is highly confidential. But it is known that the sec- tion wuld ‘place 25 officers and about 3@0 enlisted men and their familes fs permanent residents of the city. The section is now based at .New London, Conn. Their coming would be a good thing’for the city, for it would be as important an addition te the Naval installation here as the Fleet Sonar School.
