The League said "The balance
in the various funds varied from
SIC TO more than $1,O00,Ooo, and
that while idle money is lying in
many of these funds, the. Cen
eral Revenue Fund is not only
riding their bills to the incon-
venience of a few citizens, but
losing thousands of dollars in dis
counts, thereby indirectly in
creasing the cost of state govern
ment to that extent"
The League called attention to
its statement released a year

IN violation of the Constitution
of the State, and urging that all

Fellowship Club Opposes
Bringing Carnival Here
Claimed That Excessive
Amount Of Money Is
Taken Out OF City By
Its Operation

In open discussion at the week
ly dinner of the Stone Church
Service Club last night. WIN
DoushirY brought out the fact
that the Carnival. which the Key
West iiremen are sponsoring for
two weeks this year. last year
took an estimated clear profit OF
$4,000 out of the city in = siasls
week.
Last year the firemen were all
lowed IL per cent of the net
profits. which according to law
was to be put into a pension fund,
MIR. Doughty said, but this was
not done. The money was dis
tributed among the firemen. he
said. At a recent council meet
ing, objection to this procedure,
which is illegal. was made Mr..
Doughty said; whereupon the
firemen agreed to take only l per
cent of the net profits and put
this into the pension fund. Mr..
Doughty then stated that he
thought the remaining IL per
cent would be secured by the
firemen anyway.
A group of merchants this week
approached the firemen. Mr..
Doughtry further revealed. and
on the basis of the carnival max
ing $4,000 the first week and
$4,000 the second week, agreed to
pay / per cent Of the total or
$3.50. As yet there has been no
action taken on the proposition.
Mr.. Doughty stated that he
was not against the firemen get
ting money, since they are not
paid regularly. by the city now.
but that a small group should not
make the entire city suffer by
draining a huge amount Of money
entirely away from the COM
munity.
William Watkins stated that
when il was first proposed 70
have the carnival near his home
he and a group of his neighbors
considered having an injunction
against them on the grounds nat
their sanitary conditions did not
meet State Board OF Health re-
quirements. ~
The Club went on record as
opposed to the bringing Of the
Carnival here. More definite ac-
ton was initiated when a motion
was passed 10 send ateIeaf In b

stated that the Rotary Club, the

the Chamber Of Commerce and

would be asked TO send similar
kilograms 10 Mr.. Price.
Adrian O'Sweeney made the
suggestion that the club take
some action on the condition OF
the sidewalks and cutters in front

motion. the Club went on record
as fayoring those merchants who

Congress last week seemed to
be economy minded and there
were predictions that appropria-
ton bills will be held in line with
budget recommendations. Hear
ings on major appropriation meas
ures, to be reported in January,
have been underway and conf
Dental information from the Bud

ton of holding appropriations
within bounds. Back of the sem
timent is a conviction that a bal

Sumner Wellrs, 1rfser- Secretary
of State, recently took occasion to
assure Brazil of our continued
sympathy and friendship. unim-
paired by recent political events
in the South American Republic.
MIR. Welles pointed out that with
the bare announcement of what
had taken place, the editors and
statesmen in this country jumped
to the conclusion that vital chang
es had been made in the affairs of
South America, linking Brazil
with dictator developments in 9TH
er parts of the world.

AT this outlook, it seems that
the only increases will go to the
Army and the Navy in order to
carry out their defense programs.
While accurate information is not
obtainable, the present indica-
tions are that there will be slash
of $5OO,O00,0OO off the relief APP
preparation, which will leave ST.

from the CCC, leaving about
$275, 100000 and a reduction of
about $100,OO0,0OO in Federal
Road aid. Other cuts will be
comparatively small, but because
of the fact that there are a great
many, the net saving will likely
pass the 500, 10000 mark.

GREENWOOD AVE,
TAKOMA PARK:
With all the new houses being
built it's pretty difficult to make
up your mind as to just what you
want. But If price must be con-
sidered, then, by all means, see
these new homes on Greenwood
Ave., Takoma Park! They are
the most attractive little houses
that one could find situated
on a good size lot, well Handicapped.
They consist Of five rooms and
bath . . two Of these rooms are
bedrooms the others, large,
attractive living room with fire
place, family size dining room
and one of those kitchens the
housewife dreams about. An extra
feature is the outdoor living
porch which always proves such
a popular place, weather permit
ting. These houses sell for less
than $4,000, and terms that are
most conservative can be arranged.
Drive out and see them. I know
that you will find them to be just
what you want.
