Ferry System And Motor Lines
Criticized On Service Given
Matter Is Taken Up
At Meeting OF Coun-
ty Commissioners Last
Night

Monroe County Ferry System
and Florida Motor Lines wer,
criticized in nc uncertain term,
last night by members of tn,
county commissioners and w. M
Egan, in charge of the informa.
ton booth in Miami.
MIR. Egan was introduced by
Commissioner VIM. r. Porter and
at once went into description OF
the deficiencies of both the motor
lines and the ferry system as en-.
esuntered by him personally and
reports from other sources.
One of the shortcomings was
the Il k of bus facilities on the
trip nm Hog Key to make two
trips - order to get the passen.
gers to the ferry on the other
side.
Thi, in the opinion of Mr..
Egan. hould be eliminated, and
steps taken to have a sufficiently
large bus on the run to accom-
modate all the passengers who ar
, rive at the destination from Key
West.
There are a number of other
defects in the operations of the
bus lines, which should be cor
rected at once, it was pointed out,
and suggestions were made to
have these matters. which create
exceedingly awkward situations at
times, corrected at once.
There were also number of
complaints regarding the opera
tiona OF the ferries. Some of
them specific and. other general
one of the specific instances was
the lack of adherence to rules and
regulations which, in one in
stance, had number of passen-
gers frightened as to the out
come.
Another complaint was the con-
duet of the dining room forces
and the lack OF discipline which
was evident at times, and this lack
included the almost slovenly ap-
pearance of some of the en-
ployes.
Mr.. Porter said that some OF
the criticisms were justified re-
garding both the ferries and the
transportation by bus. and said
that these matters would be taken
up with those in charge of the
services mentioned and he said
that the necessary improvements
would be made. asass a.aa
Chairman Carl Bervaldi opined
that it would be an exceedingly
progressive step and certainly an
Improvement in transportation
facilities to have two buses leav-
ing daily with passengers to and
from the ferries which are now
making two trip each way daily
This will also be taken up al
once il was said.

Commissioners Receive Reports
OF Various Officers Last Night
Reports Turned In Cover
Activities Of Officials
For The Past Six
Months

Reports of county officials for
the last six months of the year
which were not filed at the meet
ing Wednesday night were filed
at the meeting last night as fol-
lows:
Frank II. Lsdd's report as
county tax collector showed coll
lections of $I,s4I.4o. expenses of
$744.76, leaving a net income of
$7s6.64.
During the first six months of
the year Mr.. LadFs office ex-
penaes showed a deficit in excess
of income OF S446.22, Hence for
the entire year of 1896 the tax
collectors income was $350.42.
One reason OF this meager re-
turn for his services is shown in
the authorized abatement of
taxes of the Florida East Coat
Railway for the years 1895 and
1886.
For 1885 the taxes were $685.
929.S4. For 1896, with the rail-
road extension destroyed by the
hurricane the taxes were approx
imately one third less, or $751;
427.72, making a total OF $685.
S57.56. Two per cent Of this
would have gone to the tax COS
lector which would have added
$2,567.15 to the total income for
the two years.
The other report filed was that
of Frank o. Roberts, justice OF
the peace for the First District,
which showed income of $2s7.S5,
with no deduction for expenses,
making a total of $2S7.S5.
In connection with the tax sit
uation a communication from Roy
Rainey, auditor OF the F. z. c.
R'y., was read in which Is let
forth the fact that in previous
years when the railroad was func-
tioning personal taxes based on
the holdings of the railroad
placed at $4,000 was perfectly
sound and the company always
paid amounting to $615.
Now however the entire stocks
of the stewards department has
been moved TO Miami and the
personal holdings of the company
at Key West consist, Of old of
flee furniture on the pier which
is valued at not more than two or
three hundred dollars.
Tax Assessor j. Otto Kireh-
heiner is to be asked to appraise
the furniture mentioned as the
sole personal property OF the rail-
way in Key West. and fix the as

MODIFIED MONOPOLY

There are persons both within and outside the government who pre- dict that, in spite of such antag- onists as Senator Borah, the future will see the operation of system of modified monopolies rather than open competition.
