Paul Richardson, 701 Florida Street, would like to thank him for returning $17 which was stolen from his wife’s pocketbook in their home two weeks ago. Richardson, a Navy yard worker said that two weeks ago, his wife returned from the store and placed her purse on a table in the hall where it was visible from the front door. Shortly, a couple arrived to in- spect an apartment which they their home. The Richardsons’ wrote the money off as “‘lost’”’ since they had seen no one entering the house al- though a neighbor reported that he had observed a “young blonde man” knock on the door at the same time Mrs. Richardson was showing the apartment. They said that he had a news- Paper rolled up under his arm and the Richardsons theorize that the youth was answering the ad for the apartment and had spied the Pocketbook and helped himself. Richardson did not report the matter to the police since he did Person who took it “may have learned a lesson.” “Whoever that man is, I want to thank him,” Richardson said, “he made a mistake and I think he is sorry for it. I hope he continues to live an honest life.” Mr. Richardson asked me to emphasize the fact that the inci- dent has been “forgotten” and that the person who “borrowed” the money is in no danger of get- ting into trouble. A bill presented to the Utility Board at their meeting on Tues- day bore this fascinating item: Holes, not used....$20. The bill was presented by the Richardson Company (no kin to the aforernentioned) which is con- structing the Big Pine Key electric line and represented four holes which were dug for electric poles and then not used because of an error in their placement. They cost the company five dollars each. Merville Rosam, City Electric System comptroller, suggested that an engineering study be insti- tuted to find a way to transfer the holes to Key West where he fig- ures they may be put to use. Hank Day, veteran Miami Daily News staffer and the Dean of newspapermen in Key West, is the butt of a lot of good-natured rib- bing these days when it was learn- ed that he is listed in the newly Published Key West City Directory as a “Cub Reporter”.
