BETTER QUARTERS

the Oriental Pharmacy on Duval
street, today announced that
plans have been completed for the

ed where the old building now
stands. This will be RACED within
the next few days. The Oriental
will be located at 921 Duval street
until the new building is complet-
ed at 1000 Duval. This will take
about three months, it is stated.
Building plans show that the
new store will be two-story
wooden structure with three large
show windows facing Duval street.
1t will cover an area of about
2lx4S feet.
Mr.. Romero. who is certified
registered pharmacist, has been
connected with the drug business
in Key West for many years. He
maintains complete prescription
service and has a registered phar-
macist always on duty at the store.

WASHINGTON, Aug. H.
Present-day grandfathers brag
about "the cold winters when |
was a boy" but when boys of to-
day become grandfathers they'll
probably brag about "the hot sum-
mer we had back in 1884"
It's already a record-breaker,
with August still to be reckoned
with, and unless Mother Nature
changes her habits it will be the
hottest for many a year. The last
time she turned on the heat with
comparable force was back in
1901.
mot since our weather records
began more than 60 years ago has
the heat in any one month (July)
been so intense over so wide an
area in this country" says J. b.
Kincer of the weather bureau,
NOR have such abnormally high
temperatures persisted day after
day without break.
"The highest temperatures re-
corded for July this year in the
middle west and southwest closely
paralleled. and in many places
topped, the July, 1901, record in
the same area"

On Monday, August 6, as an
nounced in The Citizen Of that
date, the Ferry System of Monroe
county went into the hands of the
FERA and B. M. Duncan, local
administrator, announced drastic
reductions in automobile and pas
senger rates. These become eff
fective tomorrow, as announced S
o'clock yesterday afternoon from
FERA headquarters.
Beginning tomorrow there will
be complete change also in the
ferry schedules Y inaugurating a
two-ferry-a-day service, which will
crafty long felt want Of the
many who travel by the highway.
The new rates for cars permit
an automobile under Is feet to use
the ferry for So, which is a reduc-
ton of $3.50 on the former rate.
For cars of 10 to 16 feet the rate
is fixed at $3.50, a reduction of
So and for cars 16 feet and over,
the rate is So, reduction of
$3.50.
Heretofore the rate covered the
car and driver. Each passenger was
taxed 81. The existing charge
permits four passengers to ride un-
taxed but for each additional pas
senger a charge of SO cents will
be made.
In other words, ii, an owner of

if he travelled alone.
