INSPIRING; Any business man
or woman who missed the meet
ing at the Chamber Of Commerce
last night called by Mayor viii
lard NJ. Albury lost a jewel of
Inspiration. This meeting was
called to discuss the many prob
lens of Key West, especially in.
connection with the W.P.A. prof.
.ects. Every club or business or
ganization Of any Importance in
the city was represented The
meeting was called to order by
Mayor Albury, who can do more
to conduct a smooth, orderly
meeting than the man who wrote
eRoberts Rules OF Order" There
is not space here to mention all
the worth while speakers, but
concisely, these are d few who
thrilled the listeners with their
zeal:
Joe Pearlman-a most intelli-
gent speaker and thinker.
Maitland Adams fearless and
outspoken to an admirable de-
gree.
Carl Beryaldi - a capable,
thinking man that hits the nail
right on the head.
Wallace Kirke. Curry Moreno,
Bob Spottswood all pleading for
Key West.
Ben Trevorthe practical mind
Of the flock.
Councilman Archer whose
sincerity could never be doubted.
Col. Z. G. Brinton whose great
love is Key West.
Steve Singleton-the briefest
and most pointed.
These good citizens were gath
cred there to pull the COX out of
the ditch" and from all that one
hears, the OK is a heavy one the
problems of Key West are many.
There are, of course, many rep
resentative citizens who could
not attend this meeting, but it
always strikes one as sad to see
a gathering of men trying to save
a serious situation and to know
that there are BUSINESS men who
are not the least interested and
are slackers to the city we love
. Zeal for public good is the
characteristic of a man of honor
and gentleman and must take
the place Of pleasures, profits and
all private qualification.
WE ARE TOLD by Secretary
Steve Singleton Of the Key West
Chamber of Commerce, that the
general transformation about the
new charter can be Strengthened
out and tremendous amount Of
hot air saved for such things as
coming elections, etc, by calling
at the G. Of c. for q copy Of the
new proposed charter. This. we
are told, may be disappoint-
ment to the operators of the
grapevine telegraph, but will give
the people a chance to exhibit
knowledge of the affairs of state

ABOUT TOWN: There is May

Then there is Kingman Curry.

FIRE: Four times in recent
weeks fires. have been started in
the small houses built for rest
rooms located on the vacant lot
between the La Concha Hotel
and the Island Inn. These fires
are apparently started by chill

and something should be done be-
fore serious results occur.

the tide.
