kown property owners in Key West
have signed the petition in the
GRK cigar store requesting the
city council to take action in SELL
ing the delinquent tax books of
the city. Shortly after New Years
copies of the petition win be plac-
ed advantageously about the city
so that property owners who favor
this action can conveniently reach
place to sign. 1t is expected
that number of signers sufficient
to warrant the petition being pre-
sened will have been secured by
| the middle of January.

Judging from the present out
look everybody who has rooms,
cottages, apartments or bungalows
for rent will have them occupied
within short time. A number
of tourists who wrote the cham
Der of commerce have been sup
piled with accommodation by that
body or through c. C. Symonette,
who is i'm charge of the Exchange

doubt that the season will be the
biggest ever experienced by Key
