BUSINESS ACTIVITY NEARS PEAK

Just exactly where business activity
stands, in comparison with 1929, is mat
ter of debate. There are many induces
and many arguments as to their meaning
but the reader of The Citizen may be in
terested in figures kept by The New York
Times.
The year 1886 ended with its index
of business activity lowering around 10,
after steady surge upwaraafrom the low
of about 80 which occurred in March
The figure is considerably above the de-
preston low of approximately 90 in
March, 1888, just above the estimated
normal of 100 and bears comparison with
the peak for the prosperity year of 1929,
when the index stood at HAT.
Readers should understand that this
figure is based on business activity and
that it does not pretend to be an index
showing the condition of the nation.
Other factors enter into any picture of the
economic conditions but it is encouraging
to observe the reported improvement of
business activity.

Little Island Town
(Key West, Fla.)

know little island town oh
Where coral street. meet jadegreen sea,
Where the air is filled with the scent Of the lime
That blossoms in the time,
And life drifts quite peacefully
When the namboyan dons a scarlet gown.
The moon that shines this i~land town
A profligate with wealth is he
Scattering silver on land and sea.
When the flamboyan dons scarlet gown.
The winds that blow this island town
Are gentle a. any winds may be-
They whisper OF galleons and the Spanish Main,
OF treasure cached for the brave to gain,
To the restless waves of jade-green sea,
When the flamboyan dons a scarlet gown

TAX DODGERS PUT ON NOTICE

The Citizen has long advocated more
business-like method of handling our delin-
quent tax problem than the one which has
been so long operating to our disadvant-
age
We consider that Key West has taken
a long stride toward a better financial
footing with the announcement by the city
council and the city attorney that they are
determined to cooperate, in the perform
ance of their joint duty and that income
producing property will no longer have a
free ride at the expense of taxpayers.
This decision was reached few months
ago and ample notice given non-taxpayers
that delinquency would not be tolerated
much longer. 1t is now considered the
opportune time to put into practice the
procedure required by law to collect taxes
due, and this will be fair warning to all
who cherish the hope that the half
hearted efforts of the past will continue
to operate for their benefit, that the theory
that obligations may be disregarded
among friends has gone into the discard.
In the troublous times through which
we have passed. there has been a natural
and even commendable slackening of
the rules, in the effort to avoid adding to
existing distress e4
This has grown into an abuse which
has amounted to a general moratorium on
all tax paying; and it has been taken adj
vantage of by many who were not entitled
to the consideration they received
The announced policy of the city
council is to institute suit at once against
income-producing properties on which
taxes have remained unpaid, and to pro-
coed by due process of law to acquire and
retain title to such properties.
We are assured there will be no ia
voritism; that as rapidly as possible,
suits will be instituted until properties
which should be bearing their due burden
of the city government are back on the tax
rolls with their payments up to date
The city council has gone on record
to the effect that, regardless of the evil
precedents of the past, it will proceed
along the lines here indicated, and citizens
are notified that it will be an expensive
mistake to disregard the announcement
of their intentions in the matter
The only possible objection will be
that the city council and it's attorney in
the years past failed to conduct the city's
business on business principles and be-
cause of that indifference indebtedness
has come to be regarded as a sort of
vested right by many who are able to
meet obligations to every other creditor
except the city.
This idea has run it's course Values
have declined because the city was i'm
poverished, due to the failure to collect
the money that was due. With the changed
policy in force, the city can perform its
functions and pay its employees as well as
it's debts, with the result that the value of
all the property within its borders will be
greatly enhanced
Council will continue to be kind
where disability exists. But seouncil is
not going to continue to be lenientin deal
ing with those who can afford "a high
standard of living in every respect but
cannot pay the city for services rendered.
We here begin to advance to the
status of a self-respecting municipality

Key West

He took a spot Of coral isle
And dressed it up with tropic trees
Warmed it with the suns bright smile
And cooled it with the ocean breeze
Placed it in the sparkling sea
Like jewel dropped in crystal wine
Garnshed it so wild and free
With flowers, fruits and climbing vine
Then in the gently flowing tide
He placed fishing of the bet,
Then looking down, was satisfied
He called his work Key West.
