VALIDITY OF ORDER
ON CARS DOUBTED
Ruling on Immediate Pur.
chase of 300 Transit Units
Held Unlikely.

Doubt that the Public Utilities Com
mission could issue an order which
would stand the test of law requiring
the Capital Transit Co. to make the
immediate purchase OF 800 new-type
street cars was voiced today by Peoples
Counsel william A. Roberts.
He said, however, the commission
now has evidence in its files on which
it could order the prompt purchase Of
at least 20 new street cars and per-
haps as many as 100.
The statement was made In COM
ment on the request Saturday Of the
Federation of Citizens Associations
for an order for the immediate pur-
chase of 800 cars, which Roberts esti-
mated would cost $4.500,000.
Roberts explained the commission
must base its finding on the question
Of adequate and safe" service. The
company. itself, he said. had provided
evidence Of the need Of replacing as
many as 20 cars.
Roberts recalled also that Fred A.
Sager, chief engineer Of the commits
sion, had advised that 800 new cars
were needed. But, Roberts added,
Sager did not say when all these cars
must be provided to maintain "ade-
quate and safe" service.
Roberts based his suggestion that
as many as 100 new cars might be
ordered on testimony that many OF
the cars now in service are worn out.
Meanwhile, Roberts notified the
Commission formal petition for re-
hearing on its recent decision per-
mitting the use Of additional one-man
cars will be filed this week.
Roberts action viii be taken at the
request Of the Federation Of Citizens
Associations, which voted Saturday
night to take the case to court, If
necessary, to prevent the extension
Of one-man car service.
II Roberts petition for rehearing Is
denied by the commission, the legal
pathway will be cleared for court ac-
ton, and he has pledged to fight the
case to the end.
The commission permitted the tran
sit company to convert 20 second
hand cars purchased at Providence,
r. l., into one-man cars and to op-
crate 20 Presidents Conference"
type cars as one-man vehicles.

Mrs. Turner is doing great
deal of work while here, and has
found an abundance of material
from which to draw. She has
only the kindest of sentiments to-
ward Key West, deeming it one
of the quaintest and loveliest
places she has ever visited. She
has noticed particularly the sill
very sheen on the old houses, and
hopes that it will not be destroyed,
for it is striking and beautiful,
as are also the waterfront scenes
and a number of vistas in the
city.
This visit of Mrs. Turner's, and
her praise for our city. is much
appreciated. We are delighted
that she is pleased with Key West
and has found interesting things
to paint while here. She has late
ly spent some time in and around
Sarasota also, where she did splen-
did work. She has exhibited in
every art gallery in the south, and
also in New York City in COM
pany with a group of other south
ern artists. She is a member Of
the Southern States Art League,
and is listed in Who's Who in
American Art.

Key West now numbers among
its visitors one OF the most out
standing figures Of the south in
the person of Mrs. E. K. Turner,
the eminent woman artist of At
lanta, Georgia, whose paintings,
bearing the name Of Frances Lee
Turner, are known and admired
by connoisseurs throughout the
world Of art.
Mrs. Turner, who came in over
the highway several days ago in
company with her daughter and
son-in-law. Mr.. and Mrs. W. E.
Bostwick and the latter's mother,
Mrs. R. H. Bostwick, of Airing
ton, Georgia, is a modest, unas-
Stunning southern lady of great
charm and poise. She likes to
paint, has painted all her life,
and, thoroughly engrossed in her
work as she is, cannot understand
why anyone else should be at all
interested in her or her painting.
She is retiring in the extreme,
caring nothing for the adulation
usually expended on prominent
figures of the day. and asks only
that she be allowed to pass the
duration of her stay quietly
painting scenes that have caught
her fancy in and around Key
West.
Mrs. Turner. whose husband is
a professor at the Emory Univer-
sity in Atlanta, is making her
initial trip to the city. She con-
fesses to a long-felt desire to
come here, not only because of
the interesting reports she has
lately had concerning it, but also
because, in persuing aliases she
has always felt. oddly. that its
position on the map somehow
forms the period at the end of a
