MR.. SAWFISH GOT
THEIR FISH-THEY
GOT MIR. SAWFISH
THREE BOYS HAUL IN ESQ.
POUND SAWFISH, AFTER
HE HAD SWIPED THEIR
DAYS CATCH

Did you ever catch a two-hun-
dred and fifty pound sawfish?-
well they did.
Meaning Herbert Eddy, Warren
Hill and Frank Alvarez. These
three youths set out Saturday in
their model T Ford for a days
fishing up on the keys. They
were loaded down with all kinds
of fishing lines. They also
carried a large Jewish line. but
,they didn't expect to use it for
what they did.
Angling around Pirates Cove,
/ the young fellows gathered a large
mess of bottom fish and safely
tying them together had lowered
their catch into the water in order
to keep it fresh. Everything was
under control until they heard a
loud splash and rushing to the
edge of the dock saw their days
catch disappear inside the mouth
of a-large sawfish.
The boys were chagrined, but
not losing faith, they lowered the
5ewfiyh line with large hunk of
bait attached and waited results.
Only half-heartedly expecting the
big fellow to strike. one of them
noticed a steady pull on the line
and saw the cord slowly start out
ward. He grabbed it, shouted
for the other two and the battle
was on.
With the three working togeth-
err Mr.. Sawfish didn't have . a
chance. He was speedily hauled
up on the dock. where he swished
around for awhile and finally de-
Gliding life wasn't worth living.
gave up the ghost. Whereupon the
boys loaded him on the Model T
and hauled him down to The Citi-
zen office after which they pa
raded their catch around town. 1t
was quite a catch. The saw alone
measured twenty-five inches and
the fish stretched out to a length
of eight feet, five inches. He was
estimated to weigh $50 pounds.
So, while Herbert. Warren and
Frank were disappointed at losing
their days catch, they didn't mind
getting the two hundred and fifty
pound sawfish instead-and their
fish inside him.

they are found being used instead
of the regulation metal re-
ceptacle.
"The editorial asks the question,
What is Garbage?' and further
wonders if residents should put
trash, leaves and wet garbage to-
gether in the same can. Garbage
is considered only as food wastes,
which includes unwashed cans and
bottles in which some of our pre-
sent day foods are received. AS
an aid to sanitation, it is wise to
wrap all wet garbage in paper be-
fore depositing in the can. The
paper helps to absorb excess
moisture. and eliminates odors
and curtails rust. The idea of pro-
viding a separate receptacle for
yard rakings and other dry re-
fuse is right in line with the poll
cies of the City Sanitary Depart
ment. 1t is a satisfactory prac-
tice which we intend to encourage,
rather than discourage.
Further to clarity the present
question, this department will
continue to insist that wet gar
bage be stored in covered metal
cans which should be placed out
in the mornings to insure prompt
collection. Drivers have received
specific instructions to remove any
wooden cOntainer which is being
used for garbage storage in lieu of
the regulation receptacle and will
continue this removal if and when
such instances are found.
Presidents can certainly aid the
department" Mr.. MacReady con-
cluded, "by letting it know when
drivers are taking away I'M
covered receptacles which are be-
ing used only for dry trash"

Sanitary Officer Explains Matter
Dealing With Collecting Garbage

DRIVERS of scavenger trucks
have been given specific instruc-
tiohs NOT to disturb wooden con-
tanners when they are used only
for dry trash, and residents can
assist us in our aim to conduct
this important municipal service
on a basis of efficiency by report
ing any violations of these in
structions to the Sanitary Depart
ment in City Hail." S. D. Mac
Ready, district sanitary officer
with the State Board of Health
working with the Key West Ad-
ministration, said today.
His statement was in reply to
an editorial appearing in the Key
West Sunday Star in which that
newspaper commented on the
local garbage and trash collecting
system.
Although we have no inten-
ton whatever of entering into any
kind of newspaper controversy,
it seems there are some points
that should be clarified" Mr..
MacReady said.
"The. newspapers criticism is
directed toward the fact that
drivers in some instances have re-
moved the hampers and boxes
from premises where they were
being used only for storage of
leaves and other dry wastes of an
inOffensive nature. The drivers
have been instructed to take ham,
pers. baskets, boxes, etc, when

LETTER RECEIVED
ON FERAPROCRAM
NOW CARRIED ON
PAUL MARKS WRITES THE
CITIZEN FROM NAPLES,
MAINE; DESCRIBES COLD
WEATHER EXPERIENCED

The Citizen is in receipt of a
letter from Attorney Paul H.
Marks, son Of MIR. and Mrs. H.
Marks, former Key Westers, COM
menting on the rehabilitation pro-
gram. Mr.. Marks writes from
Naples, Maine, telling of his in
terest in the activities being car
ried on. The letter follows:
Editor, The Citizen:
This cold weather has kept my
mind away from my office and
even about Miami, but the news
papers and radio refuse to let me
or anyone else forget about Key
West.
On my way from Portland,
Maine to Naples (sOme 1000 or
more miles from Key West) |
turned on the radio in my car
shortly after lunch hour and
heard the news commentator from
the Portland radio station give the
national news and dwell on Key
West for some time.
The gist of the news announce
ment was that the people of Key
West had petitioned the governor
to take charge of the city and
that as part of the rehabilitation
measures, the residents had pledg-
ed over a million working hours
without cost to the betterment of
the city; that work had started
and that beautiful parks were be-
ing made along with other clean
up work to make Key West a fish
erman's paradise and tourist re-
sort.
| picked up a New York Times
last week and there was a half
page on Key West as part of an
FERA rehabilitation plan and a
picture of Mr.. Stone.
1t surely is a. thrill to hear
about Key West up here where
people are not particularly CON
cerned about what goes on else
where.
| came up for some cold wealth
er and nearly frOze last night. FIX
pect to leave here after Labor
Day, however.
| thought news of Key West
over radio up here as part of ma
tional news events was of interest
to a Key Wester or ex-Key West
er.
With kindest regards, l am,
Cordially yours.
