Tells Stery Wickland said. Mrs. Sanders told "\him this story: She took the baby and ‘her two other daughters, Phyllis, 5, and Sharon, 4, in the family car and drove over a back road to the lake. After parking the car 300 feet from the shore, she left the two girls in it and walked 300 feet to the lakeshore.

CORONER’S JURY {Continued trom Page One) “could have been born in Key West without somebody knowing about it” Other Witnésses Other persons who testified in- cluded Johnny Walker, 908 Packer Street, who told of how he found the baby early on the morning of Aug. (17, He had observed a wom- an, about 30 years old, walk into jthe underbrush where the baby was found on the day before car- rying a package. Manuel Ayalon, 13-F Porter Place, also told of seeing the wom- van, Chief Depty Sheriff Watson Rop- er, Jr., and mortician Hunter Har- den, Jr., also testified. ¥ Meanwhile, no further progress in solving the case has been re- ported by the Sheriff's Department. They have been working around the clock on the casé, but have apparently reached a dead-end. The child, according to Peace Justice Hamlin, will be interred in an unmarked grave in the city ce- metery. UTILITY TAX PLAN (Continued from Page One) ah though they did not use the $125,000 Cost Carbonell said that the planned Pool would cost about $125,000 and would be Olympic size. He said that after investigating the many pools in Miami, the 75-by-100-foot size was decided upon. “As you all know, we can’t get something for nothing,” he said~in his discussion. He also stated that he did not like to see 4 tax put on utilities, or anything for a matter of fact, because after a tax is placed on an item it never seems to be taken off. “We plen to recommend that the tax be. put on for a two-year period only,” Carbonell said. In some of the highlights of his discussion, Carbonell said that the would be from the same plans it the ‘county had, except with moderfiization, because the plans made by the county are about ten years old..Price for admission to the pool will be about 15 cents for children and 85 céhts for adults, he stated. However the amount paid would be for all-day swim- ming. County To Give Land Carbdnzil also said that the coun- ty would deed the city the land wheh they built the. pool. On the question of colored peo- ple using the pool, Carbonell said that they would be taken care of, too. He added that the plans were to build them a pool for about $20,000 to $25,000. On telling of the plan that had been recommended previously for a bond sale to finance the pool, Carbonell said that the committee had given\the proposal a consider- able amount of thought and decided that with all the leagal red tape connected with the sale, the city would only end up with about 80 per cent of the proceeds. Phone Bill Tax He also stated that the commit- tee had studied and rejected a plan to tax the telephone bills be- cause there was already a federal tax on phone service. Sam Collins, a member of the Jaycees, asked Carbonell if. it wouldn’t be better to tax telephones because people who have tele- phones could afford the tax better. Carbonell answered that Collins had a good point, but all he was asking was that the members of the Jaycees think over what he aid. “Sleep on it,” he added. On describing the utility tax, Carbonell stated that about 47 per cent of the cities in the nation now have the tax. He cited Miami and New York’City as examples. Electric Bill Gross bills was about a million and a quarter dollars. He said that he didn’t remember the exact fig- | ures. When asked if the plans includ- \ed a wading pool for small child- | ren, Carbonell said that it did not. | However he said that the pool end and 12 feet at the deep end. He also did not know if salt or fresh water would be used. In: finishing his talk, Carbonell said, “It may be political suicide for the five commissioners but I'm willing to die. I'm going to vote it.” hier Stock Island residents would have to pay the tax also was not discussed. ; Caricer or cancer-like diseases are found in plants and most types of animals. bell Weatherman Says (ese Key West.and Vicinity: Fair, warm-and humid thru Friday ex- cept risk of widely scattered show- ers or thundershowers.
