There is every likelihood that it will be accomplished soon, however. City Manager Dave King inau- gurated the action last June 10th when he wyote A. E. Golan, of the Key West Improvement Company, requesting that a “swap” of land be acomplished so that the 13th. St. extension would lead directly into Sigsbee Road. Otherwise, the mew street would have to be put across City-owned land several hundred feet north of the Sigsbee Park entrance. This would add to ee traffic hazards of the intersec- It is proposed that the City of Key West give an equal portion of its land whcih borders the Key West Improvement Co. for a like amount of the Company’s land. On June 16, Golan requested ad- ditional information and was for- warded blueprints of the area. Yes- terday, Mr. King received a letter from Vincent Conley, of the Im- provement Co., stating in part: “Tt is our earnest desire to co- ite with you, and the propos- you have outlined is entirely ac- eptable to us, If you will have the mecessary papers drawn and for- ward them to us, we will submit them to our counsel for approval. You may rest assured that there will be no delay on our part. “We appreciate the many court- esles you have extended to us, and it is a pleasure to do what- ever we can to make the dreams for a better Key West come true.” This 13th. St, extension is a mat- ter of prime importance to the school children from Sigsbee Park who will attend Poinciana School mext year. It will provide a short- er route by at least two miles to the school as well as do much to alleviate traffic jams which now occur on Flagler Ave. during the peak traffic flow hours of the morning and afternoon, SUB SQUADRON 12 (Continued From Page One) latest in American undersea might, the ceremonies were at- tended by top Naval officials in- cluding Admiral Irving Duke, Commanding Cfficer of the Key West Naval Station and Forces.

Water Shut-Off Saves 56,000 - Gallons A Day The 56,000 gallons of water each day being saved by the early morning shut off of water are be- ing consumed as fast as they are saved, Ernest Ramsey, manager | of the Florida Keys Aqueduct com- mission reported. There are no water reserves in Key West. Just as fast as the water comes down the 130 mile pipeline it is used by the ever growing number of consumers in beer and Key West, Ramsey said. The shut-off merely saves these gallons for consumption during the | day-time hours. Each morning at 1:15 the water is turned off thru-| out the Isand until 4:15 a. m. After that users turn on their faucets | hopefully and get a gallon more} per person than they would have | without the shutoff. Romaguera New Legion District Committeeman Frank Romaguera, Past Com- Purpose Is To Aid In Subjects Difficult To Youngsters, Not For Skipping A Grade For the benefit of the parents of elementary pupils who wish their son or daughter to do some studying in one or more elemen- tary subjects before returning to school next fall, Leland S. March, General Supervisor of Instruc- tion, has requested all elemen- tary teachers who would be in- terested in tutoring io give him their name and summer a*dress. The following teachers signi- fied their interest :n_ tutoring: Miss Helen Taylor, 1227B Flag- ler Avenue, phone 2415, all ele- mentary subjects; Mrs. Betty Jane Leiter, 812 South Street, Phone 1-555-R, all elementary subjects; Mr. John Marzyck, 3510 Avenu- E, elementary science; Mrs. Mizpah Crutchfield, Doug- lass School, 806 Thomas, phone 38, all elementary subjects and mathematics and English on the secondary level; Mrs. Winifred Johnson, Douglass School, 324 Truman Avenue, all elementary subj>cts and social studies, math- ematics and English on the sec- ondary level. A recommended scale of pay for tutoring is as follows: 1 pu- pil — $2.00 per hour; 2 pupils — $1:75 per hour; 3 pupils — $1.50 per hour; 4 pupils — $1.25 per hour; 5 ; upils — $1.00 per hour.
