KEY WEST IN
DAYS GONE BY
Happenings Here Just 10 Years
Ago Today AS Taken From
The Files Of The Citizen

"Within the next sixty days the
people of Key West wi be driv-
ing to Sugar Loaf Creek" Coun-
ty Engineer Clifton Bailey said
today, to The G. tizen. This will
mean an addition of practically
five miles to the road now COM
plete with the exception of this
five mile stretch, which means
that by the time the people are
driving to Sugar Loaf Al miles Of
the highway to the mainland will
|sbe complete. Having completed
the sub-grade to Sugar Loaf, the
draglnes have been moved to the
other side of the creek and are
now working.
The August rainfall in Key
West established record for
that month in this city covering
u period of So years. This is the
record at the United States Wealth
er Bureau. Total precipitation
for the month. was 1888 inches,
which is Ills above normal. The
month of August 1891 with a pre-
cipitation of 1913 inches, is the
nearest approach to the record
of the month just past. The
heaviest rainfall of the month was
on August 18. This was 1872 in
ches which all fell within two and
one half hours. 1t was more like
clOudburst than ordinary rain
fall, the weather officials said.
The county commissioners con-
vened in special session last night
for the purpose of opening bids
for bonds for the highway and
bridge bonds to the amount of
1925, 900 of which $175, 900 is
for bridges and $350,O00 is for
highways. After discussing the
situation from every angle it was
decided that no definite action
be taken on the sale of bonds at
the present time, and to arrange
to take care of the matter at a
future date. 1t is believed that
by that time the bonds may be
disposed OF more advantageously
to the county. Mr.. Watkins, rep
resenting a bond company of Bir-
j mingham, was present and dis
cussed the situation.

CHURCH MAY REBUKE
SOCIAL FEDERATION
Use of Word Methodist in
Title Causes Action.

By United Press
COLUMBUS, O., May 8. The
Methodist Episcopal Church's gen.
eral conference had before it today
committees recommendation that
it protest to the Methodist Fedora
ton for Social Service for using the
word Methodist"
The recommendation was con-
tanned in resolution adopted un-
animously by the committee on the
state of the church and drawn by q
subcommittee headed by President
G. Bromley Oman of De Paw Uni
versity, GreencaStle, Ind.
Although the resolution, answer
ing memorials directed at the ultra
liberal federation, did not mention
the federation by name, it expressed
regret that some organizations
have seen fit to ally themselves with
the organizations that would fight
war and fascism but which remain
strangely silent upon such issues as
class war and communism.
The report was the first of a series
anticipated as the quadrennial con-
ference entered its second week
with an overwhelming vote favoring
unification with the Methodist
Episcopal Church South and the
Methodist Protestant Church as
practically the only concrete action
accomplished.
