ARRESTS BY
POLICE OFFICERS
CHIEF OF POLICE NILES
MAKES REPORT ON FINES
COLLECTED

More arrests are being made BY
the police during the present
month than in March up to this
time, Chief of Police Cleveland
Niles told Citizen representative
today.
For the entire month of March
a total of $1,000 was collected
from fines in the police court. AT
the rate things are going at pres
ent this month will show total of
about $4,000 in fines.
Yet there are no prisoners in
the city jail. Chief Niles says
every offender seems to be able to
raise the money to pay his fine,
consequently there are not enough
prisoners in jail to do the work
for the city that is usually per-
formed by men doing time.
Last month from 10 to 80 pris-
oners were in jail every day.

CALLED FOR MAY 4FOR
PURPOSEOF VOTING ON QUESTION
FOR ISSUANCE OF SCHOOL BONDS

An election will be held one
week from next Tuesday in school
district No. / Of Monroe county
to vote on a bond issue of 5000, 600
for the purpose of building, re-
pairing, equipping and acquiring
public free schools within the dis
trict mentioned.
The purposes for which the pro-
ceeds of this bond issue viii be
used are not definitely decided
upon in detail just at this time,
County Superintendent Melvin
Russell states, and the program of
building and Improvement will not
be completely worked out until
the question of the bond issue is
settled at the polls.
The contemplated usages of the
money include, first Of all, a new
roof for the Division street school,
and some other badly needed re-
pairs to this and the Harris school
building.
This bond issue would make
possible the erection of a kinder
garten in Key West. which has
been recognized as necessity
here for some time. This build-
ing, if provided for, may possibly
be located on site owned by the
school board at the corner of
South and Reynolds streets. If
this location is not approved, the
kindergarten will occupy q por-
tion of the Harris school campus.
An addition to the Monroe
county high school is also contem-
plated by the board of education
If funds become available. This
building is planned to contain ad-
ditional class rooms for the high
school students, but will really
be vocational school, with de-
partments where manual training,
home economies. commercial
courses, typewritsng and high
school sciences win be taught and
a laboratory maintained. The
building will also house the in
stitution's gymnasium.
The erection Of school build
ing on Key Largo and another on
the mainland is also included in
the tentative plans of the school
board.
The school officials and teachers
are stressing the urgent need of
the improvements named, and
claim that they are essential to
conduct institutions of learning
along modern lines in this COM
munity. Considerable interest is
being manifested in the movement
for the bond issue and very little
opposition is expected at the polls
one week from Tuesday, which
will be May 4.
