Joe Maduro, owner of Havana's Gran Stadium bought the club for $40,000 plus about $5,000 in debts incurred to date this sea- sen. The Club was owned pre- viously by the Washington Sen- ators. Negotiations here were car- ried on in semi-secrecy due to the fact that Joe Cambria, pre- sident of the Cubans asked that word of the impending transfer come from him and not the press to the league management.

MOVE TO FENCE (Continued from Page One) pointed out that the cemetery is overgrown with weeds and littered with empty whiskey bottles. They added that it is a “hideout for drunkards and immoral persons. It was brought out that during a recent funeral, a drunk was 9ob- served. lying between two graves. The clergymen made three spe- cific recommendations for immed- iate improvement including the in- stallation of adequate fencing, a their plots and the installation of roads and directional signs. King said that he will make im- mediate plans for the fencing, He added that the fence will probably be six feet high and topped with barbed wire to prevent scaling. It | will be of the “interlocking chain” type.

It would take a year to run a test case through the Supreme Court. However, the Boston firm said that they could probably obtain an opin- ion acceptable to themselves short- ly. The fact that under a city ord- inance, sewer service connections may be severed for non-paymentlern Railway, Kennecott Copper, is held to be a point in the city’s favor. And the fact that the city should be able to finance the bonds by existing revenues, especially following the recent increase was pointed up by ©. T. McCreedy, the city’s fiscal agent. Even with the recent 50 per cent increase, Key West sewer rates still could be doubled and be be- low the average: for the state of. Florida, he averred. The sale of the bonds is the last step in the lengthy negotiations for the repairs to the sadly neglected WPA-built system now in use. The Federal government is kicking in with a grant of $771,914 and a loan of some $300,000 for the work. Construction will start this. month if the deal can be pushed through for the sale of the bonds. 17 STUDENTS STAND (Continued from Page One) standingly qualified and capable a teacher.
