CITIZEN TO PUBLISH SERIES
OF ARTICLES FROM FRANKW.
LOWERING ON CITY PLANNING

The Citizen is pleased to an
nounce that commencing with the
issue of next Tuseday this news
paper will publish a series of ar
ticles from the gifted and optimist-
ic pen of Key Vests devoted
friend, Frank w. Lowering, of
Medford, Mass, on the all-import-
ant subject of city planning and
coming.
Though Mr.. Lowering is now
in Massachusetts,, his heart and
soul are in Key West, and every
word written in the forthcoming
articles will be inspired by his eag-
er desire to see this community
become the model, ideal city of all
Florida.
Mr.. Lowering views the future
of Key West with a vision based
upon deep study, careful observ-
alton.
The Citizen heartily agrees with
MIR. Lowering that now is the op-
portune time for Key West to take
up city zoning and planning.
Ten years from now The people of
Key West cannot do anything but
regret if they fail to join in the
nationwide city planning move
ment of the present time.
Key West can go ahead with
city zoning and planning at less
expense and inconvenience than

AWAIT DISPOSAL OF BONDS
FOR new SCHOOL BUILDINGS
BOARD OF PUBLIC IN
STRUCTION REJECTS
ALL BIDS RECEIVED
YESTERDAY q

All bids offered for the con-
struction of the proposed two
school buildings as mentioned in
The Citizen yesterday have been
rejected by the county board of
public instruction, it was an.
.nounced by Superintendent Mel
vim Russell following the special
meeting of the board held last
night.
Mr.. Russell states that the bids
were necessarily rejected because
the bonds intended to provide
funds for the construction of the
two new structures had not been
sold.
"The bond issue was advertised
for sale on July "a, and the bond
buyers were on hand at the time, "
Supt. Russell said, "but the prices
offered were so low that the
board would not sell at this time. +"
Members of the school board
believe that by the time the bonds
are readvertised for sale that the
demand for Florida securities will
be decidedly more favorable, and
if sold, bids for construction will
again be called for. It is thought
that the starting of construction
work viii not be delayed more than
two months by the failure to sell
the bonds by the first offer.
Six bids were received by the
board of public instruction. Three
of them were Fey West firms, the
other three coming from st,

Buildings are not so valuable,
realty values have hardly COM
mensed to increase. and improve
ments are not so far advanced
but what they can be made to con-
form to any new surveys that may
be made in connection with the
planning movement.
Hundreds of people come here
very year from points in the north
and east where zoning is consid-
cred paramount matter, and they
will expect to find Key West a
modern, model city. Finding il
otherwise, they may go to other
Florida resorts that come more
nearly up to their expectations
and desires.
The Citizen invites and urges a
careful, unbiased reading of the
articles from Mr.. Lowering, the
first of which is to appear in these
columns Tuesday. He knows his
subject and breaches it enthusiast
ically wherever he goes. He be-
iieves in it and knows that beyond
doubt city planning and zoning
will be found absolutely essential,
regardless of cost or inconven-
ience, if Key West expects ever
to take her place in line with the
ideal resorts and pleasure places
in Florida.

TWO HARBORS MAYOR LOSES
TEMPER AND EVIDENCE

Those who know Mayor Brickley
best know that he has bit of Irish
temper, and they no doubt will
smile when they learn that he let
it get away from him one day last
week, and at the same time let
bootlegger get away by virtue there
of. The Mayor was out at Lars
mont with the fire-fghting equip
ment and an enterprising wet-goods
merchant appeared on the scene
with a gallon of moon, thinking TO
refresh the fire-fghters and at the
same time add to his wealth. One
of the boys whom he approached
with his wares declined, but thought
it would be good joke to direct
him to the Mayor as a prospective
customer. Mr.. Brickley took the
jug alright, but that is where he
lost his temper and dashed it onto a
rock and ordered the fellow taken to
the Jail at Two Harbors. Arraigned
the next morning the fellow enter
ed plea of not guilty and when it
came to producing the evidence, it
dawned upon the Mayor that his
terrible temper and convenient
rock were responsible for the re-
lease of perfectly guilty bootleg

OPENS SEASON
WITH A WIN.
ELY BASE BALL BOYS WIN
FIRST GAME SUNDAY
SCORE 3 TO 1.

In bitterly fought ball game at
Biwabik last Sunday, the veteran
Ely team outguesse6. and outplayed
their rivals to win ball game that
was characterized by skillful play
ing rather than the usual early sea-
son clumsiness.
Neither team could score during
the early stanzas of the game,
effective pitching in the pinches and
sensational fielding at the critical
moments keeping the runners on
the bases. In the seventh inning
however Ely scored run and an
other in the eighth, but Biwabik
cut the two run lead to one run
advantage in their half of the
eighth by securing their first and
only score of the game. Ely scored
again in the ninth, while Biwabik
was held scoreless even though they
were INCREASINGLY encouraged by the
pleading home town fans.
Starkman for Ely with Anthony
behind the bat, pitched in mid-sea-
son form, allowing only five hits and
but one walk. He had perfect con-
troll and weathered the tight places
with ease. Hogan, his rival who
was almost as good allowed the Ely
batsmen but six hits and two walks.
A one hand catch by j. Urick of
Biwabik in center field robbed Can
ton of hit and a possible home
| run in the second inning. Mattson,
Biwabik right fielder, was the field
ing star of the game, handling seven
chances without a slip while Hogan
| of Biwabik and Lawrence of Ely
led in batting, each getting two hits.
| Ely this season has formidable
lineup, the team having secured the
services of three star Virginia play
ers of last season. viz: Anthony. a
veteran catcher; Hendy, an effect
i've shortstop and a fleet base run
ner and Canton one of the few sta,
pitchers on the range. Lawrence
the hard-hitting center fielder OF
last season, is back in the Lineup
and celebrated his appearance BY
getting two of the six hits made by
Ely last Sunday, while Harold Chinr
is expected back from Idaho about
June 18th. Ely's lineup this season
looks like the best in years, anc
should go far in proving = thei,
superiority over other baseball mines

manifest that the fleet is going %
be pretty active to move as much
ore as in 1925 season, when the re-
cord was 54,081,297 gross tons.
The fleet will have to average 8,000,-
100000 tons monthly from June /
to Dec. /, considered in round num-
bers, to match the record of last
season. That can be done with a
favorable fall.
But the effect of the low water is
a matter not to be overlooked, as
check on the movement of bulk
freight to and from Lake Superior.
The larger class of boats aer carry
ing 5000 tons less per cargo
through the 500 locks now than they
did in 1920. For a large boat
carrying ore only, and coming no
light, this will make loss of co.
600 tons for the season. Such boats
make 80 trips per season, and some
of them have exceeded that number.
Unless there is marked Improvement
over the present recommended draft
of Is feet inches, there will be
more boats required in the Lake
Superior trade this season than ever
before if there is to be 54,000,O00
tons ore sent down, and 10000, 900
tons coal brought up to Duluth
Superior, and lesser amounts to
other porIs. There are 357 bulk
freighters on the Great Lakes and

TO GET
BINDER TREATMENT

With the heavy traffic season APP
preaching, the Minnesota highway
department has begun treating the
moro heavily travelled trunk high
ways with calcium chloride, oil, or
tar. The main purpose of this
treatment is to save the road sur
face and save maintenance expense.
Incidentally the treatment lays the
dust, and by many motorists this
feature is appreciated more than the
benefit to the road surface.
A total of over 400 miles will be
treated with calcium chloride and
about $50 miles with oil or tar,
The cost of calcium chloride treat
ment is about $4,000 per mile and
oil or tar $1,200.00 per mile, but
the latter is considered more lasting
and capable of carrying heavier
traffic. The calcium chloride is not
al binder, like oil or tar, but it draws
moisture from the atmosphere and
protects the road surface and pre-
vents dust.
On account of the cost, it will be

ELY OBSERVED
MEMORIAL DAY.
LEGION AND AUXILIARY FIJI
TINGLY HONOR THE
SOLDIER DEAD.

The program as arranged for the
Observance of Memorial Day by the
American Legion and Legion Aux
iliary on Sunday afternoon was one
of the most beautiful and impressive
ceremonies ever held in this vicinity.
The program took place at the
Ely cemetery and was attended by
almost the entire population of the
city. We have one of the most
beautiful cemeteries as a home for
the dead to be found in the north
west and to further enhance the
ceremonies for the soldier dead, the
Legion had erected speakers stand
on the eminence overlooking the
cemetery upon which the impressive
rites took place.
The Legion and Auxiliary assem-
bled at the Community Center at
1:30 for the march to the cemetery.
Led by the colors, color guard and
Community Band and followed by
the several troops of Girl Scouts
with their leaders, the column
paraded through the city to the
Pioneer school building where cars
had been provided for the ladies.
Upon arrival at the cemetery the
graves of the soldier and Auxiliary
dead were decorated, these cere-
monies being conducted by Com
mander J. E. johnson of the Legion
and Mrs. E. A. LaBeau, president
of the Auxiliary.
The program at the stand began
with America" by the band after
which Rev. H. R. Browne pro-
nounced the invocation. The Veisti
Choir of the Finnish church sang
God Be With You Till We Meet
Again" and followed this with a
song in Finnish.
j.. Adam Bede was the speaker of
the day and for twenty minutes held
the audience with his memorial OBJ
.servations. Mr.. Bede's address was
filled with American patriotism and
optimism. He stated that notwith-
standing the howl of the pessimisr,
the world was getting better. He
paid a compliment to the younger
generation when he stated they
were better behaved now than were
the youngsters of years ago and at
tributed the derelictions so frequent
ly charged to youth as the fault of
the parents. He paid high tribute
to the soldiers and sailors and en-
bellished his remarks with MANY fine
poetical thoughts. The address of
this nationally known speaker was
pronounced one of the finest heard
in this city in years and many of
those who listened to Mr.. Bede's in
spired remarks after the ceremonies
voiced request for another talk at
some future date.
A silent tribute to the dead when
the assemblage faced east with
barred heads and standing at atten-
ton was followed by the Benedic-
ton by Rev. Browne. The uniform
ed squad under command of Ser
geant E. A. LaBeau fired its salute
over the graves and taps were
sounded by Bugler Brownell. The
"Star Spangled Banner bv the
band completed the ceremonies.
The weather was all that could be
desired for the exercises at the
cemetery and the attendance wa
gratifying. Members of the Ameri
can Legion and Auxiliary take this
method of expressing their thanks
to all who took part in the program
and to those who furnished cars for
the day.
1t was a glorious occasion and
gloriously observed.

GAS TAX BRINGS
$5.o33,ss3 FOR ROADS.

The Minnesota Trunk Highway
fund will receive total of $685.
500 from the two cent gasoline tax
collected during the first twelve
months the law was in operation.
Chief Oil Inspector Hjalmar Nilsson
has certified collections to the State
Auditor totaling $5,212,229. The
difference represents claims for re-
funds on gasoline used for other
purposes than motor vehicles.
The amount collected is approx
mately 100000 larger than the
amount actually paid by motorists
during the twelve month period, be-
cause the state collected the tax on
all stocks in the hands of dealers
both May 1, 1925, and May 1, 1925.
Stocks on hand May 1 were nearly
20,000,000 gallons.
