Various Other Matters
Are Taken Up AT Reg
ular Session OF Organ
ization

At regular meeting of the
City Council held last night. a
resolution was adopted author;z-
ing the tax assessor to make Ger.
tain assessments on the tax roll in
an individual manner in cases
where properties may be listed
collectively.
This is shown to be for the
purpose of allowing those who
have several parcels listed to-
gether, to pay on each piece OF
property individually If they so
desire.
1t was said that in many cases
property holder may express a
willingness to settle on one or
more parcels, but may not be
able to settle for the entire lot
that are grouped in the listings on
the tax roll.
1t was also shown that in fol-
lowing this procedure, the city
will be able to collect more taxes
than is now being done, because it
creates tendency Cor those own
ing property which is assessed col
ieetlvely, to pay up as far as their
means will permit.

A letter was read from T. B.

Unfinished with information re-
garding the status OF payment Of
1885 taxes in the new arrange
ment now in effect whereby a
certain amount can be paid in
bonds, warrants and the like, with
the remaining portion to be paid
in cash.
The letter stated that the COM
pany would in all probability be
interested in the payment OF the
taxes on the hotel property, pro-
viding that a substantial saving
can be effected in making this
settlement. The hotel property is
shown to be assessed to the
amount of $4,633.75 for the year
1885.
1t was ordered that Mr.. Ben
nett be furnished with a copy of
the resolution which was recently
adopted by the council relative to
part payments in bonds and war
rants, and all other data neces-
sarv in this connection.
1t was ordered that each city
employee be allowed to cash one
warrant to the amount Of 500
from the funds to be collected
for occupational licenses which
are due and payable in October.
To Solicit Payments
The employees will be given the
privilege of soliciting the pay
ment of these licenses from the
different merchants, and will re-
ceive the amount of their war
rants out of the cash turned in to
the city treasurer during the
period of collecting the licenses.
1t was decided to have the traf-
fic light signals on the different
corners taken down during the
stormy season, beginning July 1,
and stored away, with stop signs
to be used in their place at the
different intersections.
A general discussion was en-
tered into relative to finances and
other matters having bearing on
the operation of the various de-
partments, while no definite ac-
ton was taken, it being decided to
defer action until later date.
After disposing of a few other
matters of minor Importance, the
meeting was ordered adjourned.

PARIS, June 18.-Franee is

Pan-Arab Spirit A Threat
The .Pan-Arab movement, nour-

der the aegis of Ibn Saud, holds a
direct threat for France in the
ambition of Arabian patriots to
include Syria and the Lebanese
republic, both French mandates,
in their empire.
Colonial officials, their ears
tuned to the rumblings of discon-
tent, noted that nationalist
Syrians took an active part in
the Arab anti-Jewish campaigns
in Palestine by refusing to send
supplies to Jewish colonists in the
British mandate.
Bands of nationalists, including
Maronite Christians, Arabs, Lee

Advisory Committee Discusses
Plans To Help Poor Of City
When FERA Direct Relief Ends
Problems Facing Communi-
ty Were Basis OF Dis
cussion At Meeting On
Tuesday Afternoon


advisory committee was held in
the conference room of the State
Board of Social Welfare Tuesday
afternoon. The meeting was called
by Mrs. w. r. Warren, charm an
of the committee and local rep
resentative to the District Board
of Social Welfare. Reverend J..
c. Gekeler was named secretary.
treasurer.
Urgent social problems facing
the community July were the
basis for discussion, with the
liquidation of FERA, direct re-
lief to poor people to be stop
ped, it is shown. Many families
will be facing starvation unless
money is raised by the county to
assist them. Key West is also
faced with the possibility of los
ing the ERA clinic and the serv-
ices which have been offered by
the Marine Hospital.
Should these medical services
be discontinued there would be
no care that the city or county
could offer people who are too
poor to provide Cor their own
medical services. Emergency
'5cnafity cases would RAN as Il neavy
burden on the local physicians.
The burden of caring for the sick
and for those people who could
never again be absorbed by pri-
vate industry is being turned back
by the federal government to the
local communities. This has al
ways been a state and county re-
sponsibility, and the federal gov
eminent is continuing assistance
to employable people through
WPA.
Contribute Fund
The county commissioners have
already recognized the Importance
of continuing medical service for
the poorer class of people and
have voted to give $4,000 month
toward buying supplies for the
clinic. The State Board of So
cial Welfare has offered to pay
for the services of the supervisor
of the clinic, and the local ply
sicians have offered their free
services certain number o. hours
each week.
The local citizens advisory
committee believes that Key West
and Monroe County are interest
ed enough in assuming the re-
sponsibility for its own indigents
and in continuing a medical serv-
ice which has already proven in
valuable. They are OF the opin-
ion that people who are steadily
employed, even though only at a
nominal wage, will be very glad
to contribute probably small but
regular sum to cover the ex-
penses. They believe that many
of the people who formerly were
out of work and have now re.
ceived either private employment
or permanent placements on WPA
will be only too glad to help those
faced with starvation and poor
health.
Hope To Raise $500
The local citizens advisory
committee is hoping that by July
l they will be able to raise $500
A committee was appointed to
prepare a list of people in Key
West who are civic and socially
minded and who will be interested
in forwarding the above men.

turn will be asked to contact
