He stressed what he said was a fact that there is no shortage | of sugar in this country, and that | there is no sound reason why the price should rocket when the ceiling is removed. Because of the abundance of sugar, he added that the increas- } ed price probably will not last more than 30 days, provided speculators do rot try to corner (the market. i If speculators begin .buying $208,000, and hoarding sugar, he predicted shortly arrive in the city. that its price would advance averages 14 billion can be provided for the people of the “United: States ‘and -niuch’ would be left for . shipment abroad.

Key Westers Save $250, 000 I represent the City Commission on the Utilities Board of the City Electric System. As Key Westers may recall, I maintained the rates of interest they were paying on the System’s bonds were altogether too high. I made a motion, which was carried, that the bonds be refunded. Two representatives of the John Nuveen Co., which issued the bonds, came to Key West and asked me to meet them at La Concha. I refused to go there, and told them the right place to meet me was with other members of the board at a regular meeting. The representatives came to the meeting, and sub- mitted a proposal that would have reduced bond in- terest slightly more than $100,000 for the life of the bonds. I insisted that sum was too small, and advo- cated the refunding be made on a competi ‘ive basis. One representative said, “Will you give us fifteen minutes to change our proposal?” I said, “Yes.” They left the meeting, and when they returned their proposal showed a saving of slightly more than $250,000 for the iife of th e bonds. My record in office shows I have fought for the interests of the people of Key West, both as a mem- ber of the Commission and a member of the Utility Board. I submit my record for your consideration.
