At the regular meeting of the
county commissioners last night
at the county court house, the
question of selling the ferries of
the Monroe County Ferry System
was brought to the attention of
the board through a number of
communications received by
Clerk Ross c. Sawyer and MEM
.bers of the committee.
Present at the meeting were:
Chairman Carl Bervaldi, Com
missioners VIM. r. Porter, Nor
berg Thompson, Braxton B. War
rem and Cleveland Niles. Attor-
ney w. Curry Harris, Clerk Ross
c. Sawyer, Chief Deputy Ber-
nard Waite, Tax Collector Frank
H. Laid, Miss Mary Lopez, tax
collectors assistant and a num-
Der of interested citizens.
When the ferry subject was
preached it was the opinion,
voiced by Commissioner Thomp-
son, that the sale of the vessels
should be made as soon as ade-
quate prices were offered for the
vessels and equipment. He sug-
gested that advertisements, cit
ing the size and dimensions of
the vessels, be placed in the ma
rine trade journals and offers of
purchase received with the stipu-
lation that all offers were made
with the understanding that any
or all of them could be refused
by the commissioners.
Mr.. Porter, as a member of the
ferry committee, said that Mr..
Thompson's suggestion should be
carried out. That all offers re-
ceived should be answered and
the advertisements would be
placed as suggested.
The Key West Declaration"
which was issued some time ago
by the Rotary Club and was sent
out by the Chamber of Commerce
to a number of organizations for
approval, as published in The
Citizen, was read and was hear
tily endorsed by the commission
ers.
f. H. Laid. tax collector, pre-
scented for approval three error
and insolvency lists for the years
1888, 1894 and 1895. That of the
year 1888 carried but one item,
LaConcha Hotel, and all matters
in ] connection Herewith have
been concluded and the matter
closed.
For the years 1884 and 1885 the
lists were carefully gone over by
the board with explanations of
special items being given by Miss
Lopez. and after a minute ex-
animation and comparisons, the
signatures of approval to the lists
were affixed to the lists.
Commissioners Niles ard War
rem and Fire Chief Harry NJ
Baker, committee appointed at
the last meeting to investigate
the needs of jewellers on the keys
for fire protection, were called
on to make a report on the mat
ter, if such had been formulated.

Proposed Sale OF Ferries
Discussed By County Board

1t was suggested by Mr.. Niles
that as representatives of the
Keys District, Mr.. FELTON, and Mr..
Cothron were present and as Mr..
Cothron had made an exhaustive
investigation of the matter, he be
allowed to address the board.
MIR. Cothron produced num-
Der of figures as to the cost of
apparatus, drilling holes for the
supply of water and other mat
tiers incidental to the total cost
which was attentively heard by
the board members.
Principal interest centered on
a rebuilt pump which was gone
into by Mr.. Cothron, showing the
cost of the pump to be about
$2,970, with a few accessories
about $4,000 and the price of dig
ging the wells, about so in num-
Der, would bring the cost up to
approximately $4,000.
At this point Mr.. Baker said
that he knew mechanics in Key
West who could secure the pump
required, the necessary chassis
and could do the work as per-
fectly as it could be done any
where, and just as satisfactorily.
Mr. Cothron said that he was
only showing what is necessary,
and the rest Of it is, naturally,
up to the county commissioners.
Mr.. Porter believes the owners
of the groves on the Key should
furnish the wells themselves, as
they were thoroughly familiar
with tho land and knew the pos
sibilities. Mr.. Cothron said he
had been assured that owners of
the groves would make their own
arrangements for having the wells
sunk.
Chef Baker said that ne had
written number of companies
with reference to the adequate
apparatus for equipping the Keys
for fighting fire, and expected
answers within the next few
days. The matter was ordered
held over for consideration in
the near future when all infor-
nation necessary had been re-
ceived.
Four offerings of bonds through
the Board of Administration were
received and read by the clerk.
The prices were 64A, 6434, 68A
and 80. 1t was decided to pur-
chase the first two offers and the
attorney was instructed to form
ulate the necessary resolution.
Report of Tax Collector Laid
was read showing collection of
$276 with the following distribu-
ton.
General Revenue, 5000: Fine
and Forfeiture, Sl3.8O; Outstand-
ing Indebtedness, $64.4O; Special
Advertising. Sl840; Road Fund,
$500; Special Bond and Interest,

ENVIRONMENT VS..
HEREDITY.

There are many parents who still.
wonder which is more important in
child behavior, heredity or environ
ment. Authorities pretty well agree
that growth takes place not alone be-
cause of something which is in the or
ganiSm, but because that which is in
side is released by what is outside.
After a child is conceived, nothing
more can be done about heredity, but
whether heredity influences really de-
velop depends not on an environment
but upon many environments.
E. C. Lindeman OF the New York
School for Social Work says that child
rem grow and adapt in response to:
Physical environment which consists of
materials, objects, things; cultural en-
vironment which consists of traditions,
folk ways, customs, movies; phychic en-
vironment which consists of ideas,
opinions, attitudes, prejudices; and
social environment which consists of a
combination Of human INTERPOLATION
ships, institutions, etc.
Each of these planes of environment
plays a special part in children'S growth,
but each are interacting among them
selves and so must also be considered
as a whole. A child might make an
adequate adjustment to his playthings
and at the same time fail to accommodate
himself to people; he may even become
so absorbed with materials and things
that he makes them a barrier against
adaptation to other environments. If an
interest is not shared, or if it is allowed
to express itself in isolation, the child
may lose all social interests and grow
into a recluse. This behavior is often
encouraged in children because such
children are easy to manage. But if
personality growth is satisfactory, a
child must adapt himself to all his en-
vironmentS so his behavior responses
are blended and united We no longer
stress Ideal" or attractive" person.
ahtieS, but wholesome" and well bal
anced" personalities.
