~Dr. Harry G. Galley IS the
mayor OF this city Of $4,000 and
be contends that it will have its
greatest boom when the new Over
seas Highway is completed next
winter. What a drive that viii be
down to Key West, the fishermen's
Paradise, with It's salt water aqua
rum where they snow you speci-
mens Of the 600 varieties of fish
which anglers seek throughout the
year.
Every day you viii see as many
rs 20 cabin cruisers start out from
the private pier Of the wonderful
Casa Marina hotel, returning in
the evening with grOuper, king
fish, amberjaek, snapper, barra-
cuda, dolphin, wahoo, sailfish,
tarp0n and what not. The poorer
natives gather around, eagerly
waiting, as they are usually given
che catches. Last week in three
days guests at this hotel caught
"a sailfish and three were caught
by one angler in one day.
Give sailfish were caught by
"A. N. Wade Of Charlotte, N. c.,
on one line with one hook. Two
fish lunged at the trolling bait. The
one that got the bait began max
ing his plunges for freedom, en-
snarled the other fish in the line
90 Il was unable to get free and
the angler brought in both fish.
These two fish looked like twins.
One Of them weighed 43 pounds
and measured six feet eleven inch
IS, and the other measured six
feet ten and one-half inches and
weighed ~ pounds.
During the past few days the
weather has not been very suitable
for fishing and Joe spent most OF
his time studying the fish in the
aquarium. Mayor Galley and Pc
ter Sehutt are planning to enter
Joe in a contest for sailfish ang-
lers, and next Tuesday listen in
for a description of the affair.
eve are also informed that Joe
made a talk to the Parent-Teaeh-
ers Association and We can mag
inc that the 1857 gyp artists he
apprehended while city sealer of
Chicago had burning ears while
Ios told about the phony scales,
false bottom measures, and the
one hundred different cheating
ways he and his trusted deputies
discovered while he was City Seal
or Of Chicago. and as Joe Grein
would say. Good night, good luck,
and God bless you all.
