MRS. FULLER
ARRIVES HERE
COMES TO KEY WEST IN IN
TEREST OF REESTABLISH-
ING ART GALLERY

Mrs. Eve Alsman Fuller, State
Director of the Federal Art Prof.
ect, was an arrival last evening in
Key West, coming to the city
afte attending the unwilling cere-
monies of the memorial at Upper
Matecumbe yesterday.
Objective of Mrs Fuller's visit
is to make investigations and con-
tact the many in Key West inter-
ested in art with the idea IN view
Of reestablishing the art gallery
here.
Today the visitor is in company
with B. C. Moreno, supervisor of
WPA projects, visiting different
places and contracting a number
of Key Westers. women and men,
who have displayed a keen inter-
est in the idea.
Mrs. Fuller told The Citizen
this morning that she anticipated
success in her plans, and was
looking forward to their early
elimination.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1937-11-15

Beginning this morning, was the
general campaign for toys and
contributions for the Community
Christmas Tree, which is being
sponsored by the Junior Woman's
Club in cooperation with the WPA
Recreation Department and vari-
GUS organizations of Key West.
For the toys a depot has been
named at the Chamber of Com
merce and also at Bayview Park.
To either of these places the con-
tributions may be taken any time
between O'clock in the morning
and 6 in the evening, except Satur-
days when IL O'Clock will mark the
time.
However there is one other
means whereby the toys may be
sent. Phone Number 495 and a
scout viii call for them. Con-

airy circumstances, hence it was de-
eided to have the installation to-
morrow night.
On every hand today specula-
ton is rife as to the outcome of
the recount this afternoon. It is
believed that there is pos
sibility of some discrepancy being
found which may change the
tie between W. p. Archer and
VIM. H. MonsalVatge, each being
accorded ZIG votes, for a seat on
the city council.
And even though the recount
proves to have been correct and
no change is effected in the stand
ing of the two candidates, City
Attorney Aquilino Lopez told The
Citizen that two OF the absentee
ballots, which were not counted,
will be placed in the proper pre-
cinct boxes and counted this eve
ming.
Counting these two ballots may
produce some change in the coun-
ell situation, as applies to those
tied, and it is the opinion that this
will be the result. One Of the
ballots should have been placed in
the Second Precinct, but was
placed in the ballot box of the
First, and the other which was
placed in the ballot box of the
Sixth Precinct, should have been
in the Fifth.

records Of the family.
As far as it Is possible to as
certain. she was the oldest person
who has ever died in this county
Of whom any record is available,
but some Of the older inhabitants
who had known her since they
were children, and had been asso-

that she was older than the Civ

Installation Of Newly
Elected Officials Set
For Tomorrow Evening

Postponement of the installa.
ton of the newly-elected city of
ficials was announced this morn
ing. Instead of tonight they will
be installed tomorrow night, be-
ginning at the regular hour of
meeting, 1880 o'clock.
There were two reasons for this
postponement, which was under
stood to have been planned for
this evening. One of these is that
Mayor-Elect Willard NJ. Albury
is suffering from a cold and does
not believe it would be wise to re-
main out at a late hour, which
would be against his physicians
orders.
Being the agent of a large oil
company, he is spending the entire
day with an auditor of the COM
pany, and this also means an add
ed strain which would be in d.
rect contrariety to the orders of
his physician.
Also, it was pointed out that
counting of the ballots, which was
scheduled to begin at A O'Clock
this afternoon, may take up a
longer period than is anticipated,
especially as the ballots will be
examined very carefully and it is
believed that progress will be con-
siderably slower than under ordin-
