AQUARIUM ISSUE
GIVEN AIRING AT
CALLED SESSION
GROUP ASSEMBLIES LAST
NIGHT FOR PURPOSE OF
DEVISINC WAYS AND
MEANS FOR MAINTENANCE

Meeting last night to discuss
matters pertaining to the opera
ton of the Key West Aquarium,
a group Of interested citizens
talked over the matter from every
angle but could arrive at no perm
anent decision.
The assemblage was in the Of
flee of the mayor, who was pres
ent, with Councilman Clifford G.
Hicks, Commissioner NJ berg
Thompson, Agent C. E. Smith, of
the Clyde Mallory Lines, Frank
lin E. Albert, FERA director
Emory L. Pierce, director of the
aquarium, and Lieutenant VIM.
Klaus, U. S. N, officer in charge
of the naval station.
Operation of the aquarium has
been the bette noir of the counci.
and others since WPA Director
Herbert F. r. Reck advised that
he was turning back to the council
for maintenance the aquarium and
any other departments of the city
which had been maintained by the
use o. federal funds.
Mr.. Pierce, it was pointed out
at the meeting last night, will be
retained in his capacity as direc-
tor, will be in charge of the craw-
fish hatchery and do certain re-
search work. Two men are to be
employed by the city.
1t is proposed to give two sub
scription dances monthly to Sc
cure funds to provide food for the
fish, furnish gasoline for the
pump and pay electric bills. The
gasoline consumption averages
about IL gallons daily, which is
no small item.
Figured on a minimum basis
the cost of maintenance of the
aquarium has been placed at APP
proximately 5000, and it was
agreed upon that as soon as ar
langements can be made small
price for admission will be made
which will go toward defraying
expenses.
1t was also agreed that during
the visit of Congressman Mark
Wilcox, a committee will meet
with him and discuss ways and
means FOR the continuance of the
aquarium which, it was truthfully
said, is of such interest both edd-
cationally ana from an entertain
r.ant stadpolnt. as to ". rrant the
appi opriaticn of either state or
federal funds, or both, for its
maintenance.

GOOD SHOWING
IN COLLECTING
LICENSES HERE
OVER ELEVEN THOUSAND
DOLLARS OF REVENUE
TAKEN IN BY CITY FOR OC.
CUPATIONAL LICENSES

Revenue totHllin;s $11,972.50
collected for :upatiOnal licenses
is shown on the records of Tax
Assessor Collector Sam Pinder for
the 1935-'36 year.
Following a discussion yester-
day in which Mr.. Pinder said that
collection of these taxes repre-
scented approximately a 100 per-
cent collection, The Citizen was
given the opportunity of going
over the books with Mr.. Pinder
with the results as shown.
Each item was carefully check
ed after the total had been COM
piled, in order to show the exact
figures as represented by the en-
tries. Mr.. Pinder stated that the
sum of $11,972.OO represented is
suance of Att Occupational IL
censes.
Another check was made of the
automobile licenses tags issued.
These tags cost the owner of the
vehicle $3.50 for full year, and
$1.25 for half year. The total
collected for the 1935-'36 roll was
$2,676.50. These figures were
also rechecked and found to be
correct.
When these figures were COM
pleted another page of the records
was checked This represented
the issuance of dog licenses. These
licenses are issued at a cost of So
for males and three dollars for fe-
males, and total 1852.
Combining the three totals they
make grand total of $14, 800.50,
from these sources of income: oc-
cupational licenses, automobile
tags and licenses for dogs.

WASHINGTON, Aug, I'll
He-men who howled a few years
ago at the feminine invasion of
barber-shops will have an excel
lent opportunity this fall to view
with alarm" around political
headquarters.
Womens gathering high heels
and perfumed frills will be just
as prominent in political sane
Turns as the traditional campaign
cigar. Political ehieftains are max
ing such a determined bid for the
women's vote that both Democrats
and Republicans have set up spe-
cial women's divisions. Gifted
women speakers will soon be pro-
minently displayed on political
platforms.
Young John Hamilton, Repub-
lican national chairman, says he
takes women in politics as a mat
ter of course. 81 grew up thinking
of women as voters" he has said.
Genial "Jim" Farley in the
Democratic camp convinced the
feminine rank-and-file in his party
early this year of his regard when
he ordered Democratic organiza-
tions from the precinct up to make
sure of $3.50 representation for
women on governing boards.
Women civic leaders are reci-
procating by placing themselves
at TIE beck-and-call OF ttieir
parties.
The Republicans will put a
troupe OF stars in the field that
will include Mrs. E. E. dolly"
Gam. sister of the late Vice
President Curtis. Mrs. Julia Can
tacuzene-Grant, granddaughter of
President Grant: Mrs. Bertha
Bauer, Chicago civic leader: Mar
! garet Culkin Banning, the Mime
sofa novelist; and Mrs. Edith
Nourse Rogers, representative
from Massachusetts.
Democratic List
On Farley's list are Mary W.
molly" Dewson, the New York
socialNworker who turned political
organizer; Ruth Bryan Owen,
minister to Denmark Harriet
Elliott, dean of women at the
University of North Carolina;
Nellie Taylor Ross, director OF the
mint; and Mrs. Blair Banister, as
sistant treasurer OF the United
States.
None Of them is on the flapper
side OF thirty. All have taken a
baptism of fire in some profession
or as civic leaders.
For thirty years "Dolly" Gam
stood by the side Of her brother
in his political work. blossoming
into a national speaker who at
tracted thousands to hear her in
the 1882 campaign.
Mrs. Cantacuzene-Grant was in
Russia when the revolution broke.
She will oppose any change of
the constitution before patriotic
societies among which she is well
known.
Mrs. Bertha Bauer is spirited
little Chicagoan who is running
for congress. She started as a
girl-secretary and is now a rich
widow with law degree she took
out of simple desire to be doing
something.
Margaret Culkin Banning has a
dozen novels behind her, and a po-
litical philosophy which revolves
around the advice to join some
party and reform from within
Representative Rogers has been
returning to congress since 1924.
She will tell political rallies about
her worry over higher taxes.
