CITES BRUTALITY

Editor, The Citizen:
Wednesday afternoon I had the
misfortune to witness the shoot
ing of a dog by member of the
Key West Police Department, by
the, wall Of What I believe is call
ed the "old pineapple factory.
The dog was tied with a long
rope. He was shot at least five
times, at intervals of five minutes
or so, Before he was killed. In
between the shots he ran back
and forth on the end of the rope,
bowling and bleeding. One of
the shots either ricocheted from
the cement wall or was miss
aimed, and flew over the Warbler
dock, dangerously close to the
heads of the men fishing there.
The killing of dogs is occasion
ally a necessity. However, it
seems to me that it could be car
ried out in a fashion more hu-
name to the animal and the spec
tators (although, of course, il
should have been done in priv
ate). The dog could have been
chloroformed, or tied down and
shot with one bullet properly
placed, or, at least, the five or Sin
bullets need not have been spac'
ed to let the animal suffer, APP
parently, as long as possible.
Such an example of brutality
cannot help but detract from the
charms of Key West in the opin
ion of anyone.

LAWS AGAINST SPEEDING
IMPERATIVE

Mayor Willard M: Albury, who is a
member Of the Oversee Highway Commits
sion, will propose at meeting Of the Com
mission to be held this week, that a speed
limit be set on the bridges and roadways
of the Overseas District an '44l 'AA"
This is matter which deserves am
mediate and special consideratii6H. l ''P'''''
Serious danger of accidents oMqsthe
District properties, now without speed
limits, comfort that governing body. Some
of the drivers now travelling the Highway
make it extremely uncomfortable for 9TH
er motorists by flashing close by at high
rate of speed on the bridges and rOadways.
Everywhere it is recognized that speed
limits must be observed on bridges, mostly
from the fact that one cannot sWerve away
from car coming too close because of the
limiting bridge rails. An accident on the
bridges at high speed would be one of the
happenings most to be feared by the briGge
commissioners of the new highway, be-
cause such accidents are depOrable and
smake very unfaNoraha~xlaeadl inessss~0n Tires
roadways, there is especial danger now
befansa protecting Wife fences have rot
been Installed. OVercrowding could catk%
AEnasty hurtle over the entertainments. @
VI The Citizen earnestly hopes that the
bridge commissioners promptly set rea-
sonable speed limits in the District and en-
force them.
Mayor Albury's suggestion paves the
way for another consideration.
Far more important is the question of
speed limits on the wooden bridges, which
at present are being maintained blythe State
Road Department. A large number of com
munications by word of mouth and letter
have reached The Citizen that fast driv-
ing on the wooden structures will put them
out of commission. There is much more
danger, too, in travelling the wooden bridge
section than the District bridges. For one
thing they are much narrower. Even short
swerve will mean sideswipe, with posi-
BILE serious results.
The state Read Department Is power .
less to act in the matter. Governor Fred
Cone, upons entering office, abolished the
state patrol department. Patrolmen to en-
force speed laws are not available from this
source.
The responsibility thus comes to rest
upon the Commission 1t is up to that body,
as the body with leading authority in the
matter, to set certain speed laws, to consid-
er the appointment of motorcycle patrol
men, and to do this as speedily as possible.
Fast driving, which is daily reported
on the County roads must be cmbed. A
great number of motor catastrophes, which
are sure to result under present conditions,
will thus be averted or their number, at
least, diminished.
