SEEKS DATA ON
TAX PAYMENTS
K. SMILEY OBTAINS IN
FORMATION AT COUNTY
COURT HOUSE

Clerk Ross C. Sawyer enter
tanned pleasant caller in his Of
flee at the county court house
this morning VIXEN G. r. Smiley
came in for a chat relative to
taxes due on certain property,
and to get information as to the
best possible way Of arranging
the details of settlement.
Not that Mr.. Smiley wanted to
pay any taxes, not at all. The
comfortable and pleasantly To-
Gated home OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Smiley on Division street is en-
tirely free and unencumbered
and he was only getting the in
formation for friends who also
own property in the city, and he
thinks it would be good time to
square up and will so suggest to
his circle of friends and as
sociates.
Mr.. Smiley was one of the com
struction engineers Of the Florida
East Coast Extension two de-
cades ago, and decided at that
time that Key West would be a
fine place for himself and family
,toaspend their winters, and some
time ago bought the home where
he now resides in comfort.

COMPLAINT FILED WITH IN
TERsTATE COMMERCE COM
MISSION BY FLORIDA MO-
TOR LINES
tspeeIal % TAe cltl.enl

TAMPA. April THAT tho
section of South Florida. served
exclusively BY the Tamiani Trail
Tours, Inc, is being injured by
the failure Of the TIT to provide
adequate transportation service,
is alleged BY the Florida Motor
Lines in an informal complaint
fred last week before the United
States Interstate Commerce Conn
mission.
The FML asks that the Inter-
state Commerce Commission either
require the TIT to provide ade-
quate service to that section of
the state or permit the FML to
extend its service to those points.
In its complaint FML states
that it operates nine through
schedules each way daily to and
from Miami, from Jacksonville,
and thirteen schedules daily each
way to and from Jacksonville and
Tampa over three routes from
Jacksonville, Tallahassee and Lake
City. All operate in interstate
carrying Of passengers, destined
to and originating from Braden-
ton, Sarasota, Punta Gorda, Wau-
chula and TT. Myers, the territory
served exclusively by TIT and
that the interstate carriage so
moving on the mentioned twenty
two schedules per day to and from
Miami, Tampa and st. Petersburg
ara reasonably entitled to ade-
quate and sufficient interstate
carriage by motor bus to the men.
toned lower west coast and TIT
points exclusively served by that
company.
The complaint further states
that by the absence Of suitable
connections at Miami and Tampa,
interstate passengers destined fo1
the important centers servey ny
TIT are. when arriving on many
important interstate schedules,
forced to wait many hours and
in some instances overnight be-
fore connections can be achieved
to destination; that many passen-
gers desiring transportation to
northern points are denied the
use of FML schedules by reason Of
the failure of TIT to furnish rea-
sonable connections.

SLIGHT LAG SEEN
IN STEEL DEMAND
Ingot Production Reported
Down ! Point at 81 Per
Cent Level,
Ey the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, May 26.-The steel
industry has begun to reject seasonal
influences. although demand is hold
ing up strongly In all lines except
automobiles, Iron Age said today In its
weekly review.
The approaching change over to
1898 models Is bringing production of
parts for currently produced motor
cars to an end, the review stated, al
though business from this quarter will
soon be increasing as manufacturers
prepare for next years output.
Although aggregate orders for steel
have been running about IS per cent
Of current shipments, the trade Jour-
nal said, pressure from consumers for
deliveries has been relaxed to such an
extent that much earlier shipments
Of some products are possible than
could be obtained until very recently
Steel ingot output is slightly lower
this week at 81 per cent, compared
with an estimated 90 per cent last
week. Barring the possibility of shut
downs caused by strikes at some inde-
pendent plants, there appears to be no
likelihood OF any sharp reduction IN
output during June.
The decline In steel scrap prices.
which has been continuous for seven
weeks. appears to have hit bottom,
temporarily at least. The Iron Age
scrap composite price, at 1892, Is
unchanged for the first time since
early April
CONSTRUCTION work continues to
furnish substantial amount of steel
orders, although some projects are
held up because OF uncertainties
caused by labor disturbances and high
wages for building labor"
CLEVELAND. May 2e UP.-Daily
Metal Trade today says:
Continued fear Of strikes at Mid
western steel plants is serving to
stimulate specifications by consumers
on old orders. New buying has de-
cllned, however, and the active rate
OF shipments is beginning to cut ma
terially into mill order backlogs.
tonnage on mill books is sufficient
to support high ingot operations well
into the Summer.
Fig iron producers are expected to
announce prices for third quarter
within few days.
