WILLIAM GREEN
GOES BACK TO
TALLAHASSEE
OFFICER OF TRAFFIC Dc
PARTMENT MUCH PLEAS
ED WITH COOPERATION
SHOWN WHILE HERE

William Green, of the traffic
department, State Road Depart
ment, who had been in Key West
for several weeks under instruc-
! items from Tallahassee, was or
dered to return to Tallahassee and
left over the highway this morn
ing.
Yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Green
called at the Citizen office and
! said that he had been most eordial-
" received by the different
branches of the government in
Key West and had made many
contacts which had enlivened ms
stay and added to the pleasure he
had experienced while here.
He said he felt that the School
Boy Patrol, which was recently or
gained and of which Professor
w. C. Duncan was the head would
prove a valuable factor in curling
the desires of impetuous drivers
and in fact all those persons who,
at times, are inclined to defy the
ru.es of traffic.
Asked if the School Boy Patrol
had been perfected as an organi-
cation, Mr. Green said that the
patrol was formed and was begin
ming to function. He continued
by saying that W. Fl. Owens, gen
eral manager manager Of the Nj
ami Motor Club, would be in Key
West an6 would, Mr.. Green be
, lieved, bring with him the belts
! and badges to be used by the mem
bers of the patrol.
"You have the nucleus Of fine
patrol organization" said Mr.
Green, ''but that is not surprising
when one considers the many fine
persons / have met in Key West,
and the wonderful cooperation ]
have received from those manifest
ing interest in the work, and that
means practically everybody"
In conclusion, Mr.. Green sand
he was especially grateful for the
publicity given him and ms work
while in Key West and wished %
personally thank The Citizen for
/ its earnest and helpful cOopera-
ton gwen during the period ne
was in charge of the work IN this
section.
Mr.. Green said that after leav-
ing he intended to be at home for
| a short time, then go TO Talahas-
see and meet Governor-Eleet L z.
Gene, on whose staff he had been
recently appointed a lieutenant
colonel.

one of the subsquads, may be
added to the present police vice,

bined organization headed by
Lieut.. George M. Little, Major
Ernest w. Brown, superintendent
Of police, said today.
In making these contemplated
additions to the squad, Major
Brown said, there is no suggestion
Of a "Shakedown" Of the squad.
Unit Hard Pressed
Major Brown pointed out the
squad is one of the hardest work
ing units in the department and
has had new duties imposed upon
it by the repeal of the prohibition
laws. The liquor law enforcement
now consists of trying to stem the
tide Of illicit liquor entering the
city, seizing liquor on which no
tax has been paid and enforcing
the saloon closing hours.
Two men have been detached
from the squad. and have been
assigned to duty as precinct de-
tectiveS. Major Brown is contem-
plating sending men from the po-
lice school to fill the vacancies.
COnfers With G-Men
Major Brown will confer with
officials of the alcohol unit of the
Bureau of Internal Revenue to-
day over the advisability of hav-
ing men on the liquor. vice and

Federal Investigators. At the pres
ent time each organization works
independently and officials of the

by Peoples Counsel William A.

The local company and the two

Mr.. Roberts recommended:
