KEY WEST LOSES
IN EFFORT MADE
TO GET HOSPITAL
PROPOSED COMMUNITY IN
STITUTIoN TO BE ESTAB-
LIsHED IN WESTERN Lo-
CALITY

Advices have been received by
members of the committee which
had been negotiating with ma
tionally-known wealthy founda-
ton for the establishment of a
community hospital in Key West,
that the establishment has been
selected and announcement of
the city named will be made in
February, 1899, and is not Key
West.
The letter explains that there
were 100 applications received
from cities in different sections
of the country, and all of them,
as had Key West, complied with
the necessary requirements as
demanded by the foundation.
One of the requirements was
$4,000 cash to be provided by
the city which was awarded the
hospital, and as soon as this was
stipulated the local committee
formulated plans for securing the
funds from the PWA and the
idea was approved and the COM
mittee so advised.
There were. several individuals
in the north, among them a we'll
known surgeon formerly of Key
West now in New York, who
were doing all possible to secure
the establishment of the hospital
here, but to no avail. The letter
explains that the city which has
been awarded the institution is in
western locality and will be
available to $4,000 people.

EARLY PURCHASE
OF MANY TAGS
HELPS, TEACHERS
FLORIDA AUTOMOBILES OWN
ERS SHOW GENEROUS RE-
SPONSE TO PLEA FROM
GOVERNOR CONE

TALLAHASSEE, Dec. 90
(FNS) The generous response by
Florida automobile owners to the
plea made by Governor Cone to
buy their tags early in order that
the teachers might have their
salaries by Christmas, enabled
Motor Vehicle Commissioner D.
w. Finley to transfer $450,000 to
the state school fund last week,
and enabled the state to send a
total payment of $569,144 to
county school ards. The
promptness with which the local
tag agencies made their reports
and remittances to the Motor
Vehicle Commissioners office
also was of great assistance in
the making of the payment to the
school fund.
Commissioner Finley stated
that the collections for the first
fifteen days of December this
year exceeded all expectations.
Last year was the banner year in
collections by this department,
he stated, but our collections for
the first fifteen days of this year
exceed those of last year by
$50, 46897, or an average OF near
ly $4,000 a day. The first fifteen
days of December last year we
collected 1897, $1,000; for the
same period this year we collect
ed 1897, 049.96.
Of course, Commissioner Fin
ley said, it is impossible at this
time to say definitely that this
increase in collections will con-
tinue throughout the year, but
we are greatly encouraged by
the response we have had so far
and hope that we can show an
increase over our banner year
just closed. We are also happy
to have been able to comply with
Governor Cones request to make
this substantial payment to the
state school fund for the benefit
of the teachers at Christmas time.
