the yard-but none of US ever dare

now and not a semblance of it re-

memory can also see Uncle Frank
Almoney and "Lovey" Morgan on one
end of sled-representing the "Mont-
gomery Advocate" and on the other
Frank Monday, shoeing horse, rep
resenting Haney's Blacksmith Shop.
Fine memories these.
The baseball games we had behind
the home Of Judge George Peters in
Dawson's field, and the parrot which
he permitted to fly at large, and how
that parrot used to mimic US boys at
play. ! can hear that bird now as we
would go out on the field saying first
base-pitcher and other words which I
might as well try to forget.
The torchlight professions following
political campaigns-the glamour and
excitement of the same, with the
brass band from Clarksville-andt the
great bonfires which were held as the
parade ended down by the old fair
grounds.
The jealousy between Rockville and
Gaithersburg base ball teams-when
the catcher would catch the ball on
first bounce-the days when Wallace
Fields, Charley Maddox, Touts Eek
Lesson, Jim veirs and others played
which most generally ended up with
fight between Jim Veirs and Barry
Adams-the game was disappoint-
ment if Jim did not have a fight with
someone.
The swimming hole out to Watts
branch, which was then a considerable
stream, as the dam for Mullican's
mill kept the Water to fair depth
] oh, and so many other places which
memory recalls-gone with time and
progress.
It takes something out Of life as
we grow older and return to scenes
which are dear to us to find land
marks and faces gone. / would be
happy today if l had a diary of my
life-day by day-with its sweet and
bitter-so that on days when ones
mind and heart is with his younger
days he could turn It's pages and re-
live them over again"

Key DWellerS Ask For
Special Representation

Mr.. Lowe said that he YVES rep
resenting the supplicants as one
of the dwellers from the Keys and
was asking for this consideration
in the words of some of those citi-
zens of Monroe county, who felt
that it was to their best interests
to have one from their own sec
ton on the board, who would be
familiar with all the needs of the
residents and be in a better posi-
ton to present the desires of his
constituents, than a member who
dwe't in Key West, and only went
to the Keys on rare occasions.
1t was decided by the board that
as the matter at issue would re-
quire county redistribution, it would
be advisable for the board to await
the arrival of County Attorney
Arthur Gomez, who is expected to
be back from Miami and other
points in the state the latter part
of the week.

Delinquent Taxpayers


The matter of filing suits
against delinquent taxpayers was
taken up again at a meeting of
the City Council last night. The
question was brought before the
meeting by Councilman Delaney.
who moved that an amount of
5000 be appropriated and turned
over to the city attorney to be
used in preparing the suits. The
motion was seconded by Council
man F. o. Roberts.
The question was then open for
discussion by the members. Coun-
Gilman Cobo stated that he did not
feel that this was the proper time
to force the issue, due to the fact
that there was so little rentable
property now producing revenue
to any great extent. saying that
in many cases the owners of same
were not in a position to pay their
taxes.
Councilman Freeman stated he
was not in favor of the movement

DUNCAN LEAVES
FOR MIAMI ON
BOARD LAUNCH
TAKES ALONG Low BIDS ON
FIVE BRIDGE AND ROAD
PROJECTS PUBLISHED YES
TERDAY

B. NJ. Duncan, chief engineer
of the Overseas Road and Toll
Bridge District, left this morn
ing by launch en- route to Miami
with the low bids on the five
bridge and road projects as pub
iished in The Citizen yesterday.
Accompanying Mr.. Duncan were
B. D. Trevor, member Of the COM
mission, and J. E. Bomar, who is
an associate of Ernest Cotton,
PWlA administrator for the Flor
ida division, with whom the bids
will be discussed in detail before
any announcement OF the awards
of contracts will be made.
1t was learned this morning
that to all intents the bid of the
A. j. Groves and Son Co., OF Tai
lahassee, Florida, was the lowest
on the three projects listed a.
"D", ''E" and "F''. The con-
struction price was $1,253,554.29.
Considered the lowest Offering
for construction of Project &C"
was that OF Clark Brothers, of
Clinton, Iowa, which was $780,
$3.50, and the bid Of Thomas F.
Kinney Co., Orlando, Fla, which
wa; $103, 154.S4, is said to be the
lowest ON Project CO..
However there were a number
of combination bids made on the
projects which in the final an
alysis may bring about some
changes, but this is said to be
very remote possibility, and it is
expected that the foregoing bids
will be those accepted, and it is
anticipated that the awards will
in the next few days be made by
Mr.. Duncan's office.
There are still two other pro-
jects to be announced end for
which bids are to be called. it was
said tdoay. One of these is in
connection with the draw bridge
and the other is in connection with
the spans, which are to be widen
ed, it is said, before the work of
laying the decking can be started.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1937-02-04

at this particular time, due to the
fact that there is considerable
property at this time that is bring
ing in but very little revenue to
its owners.
Councilman Hicks stated that
he could not see where the money
was coming from to handle these
suits and that the city's finances
were very much depleted.
Councilman Delaney made a
persistent fight to have the mat
ter carried through. He felt that
the city would be greatly benefit
ed through the proceedings, and
concluded by saying that he be-
lieved that it should at least be CIV
en- a trial.
After considerable debate on the
matter, the motion was put to a
vote, end on roll call was lost five
to two. Delaney and F. O. Rob-
erts voting yes. while Cobo, Free
man, Hicks, Mesa and Jim Rob
erts voted no.
