WARRENTON VOTES
ON $4,000 ISSUES
Funds Would Be for Fire Equipment
and Curb and Gutter Pro-
ject in Town

A municipal election is to be held
in Warrenton on Tuesday, March %
TO give voters an opportunity to pass
on the issue of $40 600 bonds for fire
fighting equipment and curb and gut
ter work, it was learned here today.
The projects are divided for the ap-
prevail or disapproval of the voters,
with $4,000 asked for curb and gutter
work and $4,000 for fire Improve
ment facilities. It will thus re possible
for one to carry and the other to fail
without carrying both together in
either direction.
Warrenton's town commissioners
this week ordered the election.
If the bond issues are approved, the
bonds will be issued in $1,000 denom-
nations to fall due one year begin
ming in 1871, when present outstand-
ing water and sewer bond obligations
will be retired.
1t is understood the commissioners
anticipate some $4,000 worth of curb
and gutter work can re had for the
towns $4,000 investment, by reason
Of the possibility of WPA allotments
for the purpose. The board was also
influenced to some extent by the fact
that the money market is advantage
Gus at the present time for the float
! ing of municipal security issues.

sent down to tow them.
The run tomorrow will depend
a great deal on the small low
pressure area which is off the
Bahamas and may roughen up
the water.
Arriving in Miami one of the
ferries will be dismantled and
the engine placed in another boat
being used by the company. The
other ferry will be laid up await

MAKING TOUR
OF INSPECTION
LIGHTHOUSE GROUP LEAVE
TO-DAY TO MAKE SUR
VEY OF BEAcoNS

w. J. Schoneck, assistant light
house engineer, Andrew Albury,
keeper at Dry Tortugas light, and
Charles Maekie, assistant keeper,
left this morning in Power Boat
81, on a trip through the Intra-
coastal Waterway.
The plan of the trip is to make
an inspection of beacons along
the route as far as Big Spanish
Key Channel, for the purpose OF
determining how many, if any,
are missing or in need of re-
pairs.
Earlier in the year it was re-
ported that some of the beacons
were missing. and a check re-
vealed that many of them had
been broken, or rendered use
less. by boats being tied to the
beacons. All Of the beacons were
replaced.
MIR. Schoneck and companions
viii go through the waterway on
the trip north but expect &c
make the return trip on the out
side through Hawk Channel

YACHT ELFREDA.
ARRIVES TODAY
NO HARBoRMAsTER. DOCK.
AGE FEES. WILL. BRING
MANY YACHTSMEN

First large yacht of the season
arriving this morning at the
yacht basin is the "Elfreda"
owned by H. H. Ripley and cap
tanned by Peter Nilsen, an ardent
booster among northern yachts
men for the Island City. s.
The Elfreda will base here this
winter and on this trip win re-
main in Key West until January
when it will make the trip north
to take the owner and guests
aboard.
Writing for information this
year about yachting facilities in
the city, Captain Nilsen received
detailed report from Lieut.. Fort
Callahan who advised him that
the usual custom of not charging
dockage or harbormaster fees
would be observed this year.
The information has created
quite a stir in New England and
New York yachting circles and
has been received with en-
thusiasm, Nilsen advised Lieut.
Callahan, and should result in a
large influx of yachtsmen TO the
city.
The advantage of keeping a
yacht in Key West waters during
the early winter, Nilsen has al.
ways maintained, is that the de-
terioration caused by ice forming
about the huh and the effects OF
cold weather are eliminated.
