gown, hold her in his arms in the
dance
And not only while dancing.
She harked back to the ice carni-

she was before kissing her?
That hope had sustained her

ROTARY CLUB
MEETING WAS
MUCH ENJOYED
DR. JOHN GEKELER PRESID.
ED AT REGULAR SESSION
YESTERDAY IN ABSENCE
OF PRESIDENT TAYLOR

The future state of the nation
got an overhauling at the Rotary
Club luncheon yesterday as the
Key West High School debating
team discussed the relative merits
of the Uni-Cameral VS.. the BIZ
Cameral forms of legislative
structure.
Goth propositions were ably
presented and if the conservative
Rotary Club went on record SO
to IL in favor of Nebraska's in
novation in government, it was
not because of any lack of abil-
ity on the part of those opposed
to the resolution, Resolved: That
the several States should adopt
the UniICameral legislative sys-
tenn" but probably because their
experience with the prevailing
system had convinced them that
they would try anything once,
for a change, it is said.
The affirmative side of the
question was ably presented by
Anita Berkowitz and Vance Stir
rup, while the negative was set
forth with equal ability by
Lucette de Barritt and Andrew
Elwood. Miss Eliza Gardner in
troduced the speakers to the
club and Miss Dorothy Mae Dun
gan was mistress of ceremonies
Dr. john C Gekeler had charge
Of the gavel in the absence OF
President Charles Taylor and
compIimented the winning team
on their success, and the losing
team on their ability and then
craftsmanship, as they accepted
the result of the balloting and
congratulated the opposing team
Guests present were ]. Wilbur
Rogers of Miami, introduced by
Hugh Williams, and Sebastian Ca
brera introduced C. II. Wehman
of Chicago.

ton to those who do not share

Mayor Willard NJ. Albury said
this morning that the time has
arrived for warning to all viola
tors of laws in Key West, and
to advise them that a cessation
of these violations means safety
for them.
He has already admonished the
police force as 10 what he ex-
poets from members of the police
department, he said, and law vio-
lations brought to his notice by
others than members of the dc
partment, will be investigated,
and If he finds that the offense
has been ignored by an officer.
for any reason whatever. the of
ficer will be summarily dealt
with.
SIR. Albury told The Citizen
this morning, Il am determined
to have laws and ordinances in
Key West kept effective, and to
have made real those which have
become obsolete, apparently, from
neglect. and also from the lack
adaisical attitude OF those to whom

There are many instances Of
citizens ignoring the laws and

things which they know are

The new City Council at its
regular meeting last night elect
co a = full set of members to
serve on the Board of Public
Wo.ks for the ensuing term.
They are J. II. Costar, Everett
Russell, Norberg Thompson, B. d.
Trevor and c. N. Reeio. All of
these members submitted applica-
tions for the position to the coun-
Gil, and following the reading of
the applications, were unanimous
Iy elected.
The tentative working budget
for the new administration was
read and thoroughly discussed,
after which it was adopted.
The new budget calls for an
assessment of one hundred mills
against the current tax roll, which
amounts to $685. 100. While the
amount of millage is increased
considerably over the previous
year, when it was placed at TWEEN
sy-five mills, nevertheless this does
not mean an increase in the
amount Of taxation, it is shown.
AS a matter ef fact, aceorcihg 20
the statement of Tax Assessor
Collector Samuel B. Pinder, it
places the amount of taxes to be
raid on the current roll about
twenty percent below that of the
previous year, which is due to the
eighty percent reduction that
was made in the payment of de-
linquent and current taxes a
short time ago
The budget covers the amounts
needed for the various depart
ments of the city. including off
GERS and other employees sal
aries, and all other expenses in
connection with the operation Of
the municipality.
The different departments are
fire, pension, golf course, aqua
rum, scavenger, sanitation, street
lighting, contingency and Board
of Public Works. Nine mills was
assessed for the operation Of the
Public Works Board TO take care
of the different departments OPP
Grated by that branch of the city
government
There were a few changes in
the. amount of salaries Of some
Of the officers and employees APP
peaTing on the budget, one Of
which was a slight increases for
the custodian Of the city hall.

dollars per annum to take care
