the best in the world for those who
have bought on a margin, the binder
boys or the gamblers" the visito,
stated, "but things are assuming nor.
NAL, on a sound and everlasting
basis"
ssThe climate here, as / have said
on my every visit to Key West, is the
very best in the state of Florida, ,

UTILITIES MAY
LOSE GOVELL

The Public Utilities Commission
is in danger of losing the services
of Major w. Err. EoveIls the As
sistant Engineer Commissioners, it
was learned today.
Lieut.. Col. J. Franklin Bell, chair
man of the Commission, explained
that In the rewriting of the bill
providing for new commission for
the District, no provision was made
for the appointment Of an Army
officer as an advisor or member.
Unless such provision is made,
it is said, the President, in appoint
ing the new Commission, cannot
select an Army officer, but must
choose civilian engineer.
Objection has been made to the
number of Army officers in the Dis
trict government. but Colonel Bell
declares there is no one who can
handle the affairs of the Commits
sion as well as Major Covell.
Some provision must be made in
the new bill for Major Covells
assistance or the proposed body
will not function as satisfactorily
as the present Commission. accord
ing to Colonel Bell.

COS I.
DATA READY

Cost reports on several plans for
liberalized retirement, for which
President Coolidge has been waiting,
were submitted to the Budget Blu
reau by the board Of actuaries to-
day.
Brig. Gen. Herbert M, Lord, Di-
rector of the Budget Bureau, who
announced receipt Of the cost estt-
mates, said he will forward them
to the President either today or
tomorrow with his own recon-
mendations.
The Budget Bureau has been
studying for about a week the
actuaries' estimate of the cost Of
the Lehlbach retirement bill. The
estimates submitted to the bureau
today were for several other pro-
posaIs. including that suggested to
the Senate Civil Service Committee
by Secretary of the Interior Hubert
Work.
The cost of the Lehlbach bill,
which is now pending before the
House, is estimated by the actuaries
at about $27, 100000 annually to
the Government. No announcement
has been made Of the cost esti-
IIIdIcS OII Tic OAAACA PAohS'
The cost of the Stanfield bill,
now before the Senate, which is
similar to the Lehlbach. Dill except
that 1t eliminates the retirement age
Of so for railway mail clerks, has
been unofficially estimated at $24,-
100000 annually to the Govern
ment.
Both of these measures would
set the maximum annuity at $1,000
with the optional retirement age for
clerks at SIS years, and compulsory
retirement at 20 years. They each
provide for a 4 per cent deduction
from the salaries of employees.
The Work proposal would set the
maximum annuity at $3.50, the de-
duction at 81 per cent and the
retirement ages the same as in the
other bills.
The other plans on which cost
proposals have been received by
Lord are only slightly variant from
the other proposals.
The President, 1t was said today,
will not sanction a retirement bill
which would cost the Government
anything like $4,000 and $27,-
