Key West Is Termed
"TheSleeping Beauty .
Article In Havana Maya
zine Gives COmprehen-
sive Description OF For
mer Activities

In the August issue of Selecta,
magazine published in Havana, is
published an article under the
caption Key West, 1.-THE Sleeping
Beauty, from the pen of the
noted writer Gonzalo de Quesada
y Miranda, which is one of the
few complete historical sketches
recently written of the island.
Covering the outstanding hap
penings of the island during the
last four decades and dealing with
every phase of the industrial ac-
tivity and the decline of the in
dustries, principally the tobacco
business, the writer gives a clear
and concise story from 1894 to the
present. t
The story is illustrated with
four photographs showing the
new Club San Carlos which was
inaugurated October 10, 1924;
tombs of those who lost their lives
in the explosion of the U. S. Bat
tleship Maine, March Is, 1898,
and of the San Carlos Institute.
Another interesting photograph
is one which was made in 1894 by
Andres Estevez, showing Jose
Marti standing on the upper porch
of Patriot Teodoro Perez. The
famous liberator is surrounded by
group of friends and co-work-
ers in the cause of Cuban Liberty.
Brief descriptions of the in
auguration of the Overseas Rail
way and swift service between
New York, Key West and Cuba,
the troubles which followed in
the tobacco industry up to the
time when naught of the great
cigar making industry was left
except few small shops which
are today making as they were
then, Clear Havana Cigars.
Though but lightly touched on,
there is no phase of the civic OF
industrial life of Key West which
is not described in the story which
forms one of the most interest
, ing stories of the social and eco
nomic life of the city. for the
past more than 10 years.
Much of the data in the article
of Mr.. Miranda and three Of the
photographs were furnished by s
c. Singleton, executive secretary
Of the Key West Chamber OF
Commerce.

Many Of Workers Labor
ed Under Impression
That They We're Amer
lean Citizens

Up to 1880 o'clock this morn
ing the names of about 65 proven
aliens had been listed for dropping
from the rolls of WPA activities
in Key West, and it IS believed
that this number covers approx.
mately workers who come within
the alien category.
There are a number of these
who were under the impression
that they were citizens and also
others who knew that this move
ment was underway but took no
steps to secure the necessary
papers.
Now, practically all who are
listed are speeding up to become
citizens not realizing that this
action cannot be taken at once
but requires at least several
weeks before the desired action
can be put through. In the
meantime they will have 10 wait.
as the orders relative TO dropping
them from the rolls were received
from Washington, and have been
put in effect throughout the eoun.
try.
Peace Justice Enrique Es-
quinaldo said this morning that
he had been kept busy until mid
night yesterday, making out APP
plications for those who are list
ed to be dropped from the WPA
rolls.
At the WPA offices this morn
ing the lists which had been com
pleted showed ~ aliens to be
dropped from the sewer project
The others up TO the number Of
IS, are on other projects.

COUNTY CLERK
KEPT BUSY ON
TAX MATTERS
MANY DELTNQUENTS ARE
TAKING ADVANTAGE OF
BIG REDUCTION TO SQUARE
UP INDEBTEDNESS

Business at the county court
house is growing brisker as the
days go by and delinquent tax
payers go there to consult Clerk
Ross &c. Sawyer as to their indebt-
edness to tho county for back
taxes.
Under the new plan of collect
ing the delinquent taxpayer is be-
ing given splendid opportunities
for squaring up accounts, it is
pointed out, and it is the assump-
ton that only those property own
,ers who cannot arrange to pay
up, are failing to take advantage
of this wonderful opportunity to
get right with the city and coun-
ty.
However that may be, there are
many who are grasping the oppor-
tunity, as is evidenced by the col
lections of the latter part of Aug
ust when the collections made by
Mr.. Sawyer showed upwards of
$4,000, and for the first three
days of this month there are APP
proximately $4,000 awaiting de-
post by him.
This morning Mr.. Sawyer said
that he is being kept as busy as he
ever has been during his tenure
of office, and feels confident that
practically all of the delinquents
will have taken advantage of the
reductions to relieve their delin-
quencies within tho next tive
months.
