On Installing Parking Meters
Lack Of Law Enforcement
Was Discussed During
Regular Meeting Held
Last Night

The first regular meeting of
the City Council of the new year
was held last night with Council
man William Freeman presiding.

Earl Adams is now acting mayor
in the absence from the city of
Mayor Willard M. AlburY.
The chairman of the police
committee made his report rela-
tive to the parking meter propo-
sition, and informed the council
that no agreement had been
reached as to which of the two
proposals offered for installing
meters are to be accepted. The
matter was deferred until a later
date.
Would Reduce Price
In this connection a telegram
was received from the represen-
tatiVe of the Dual Company,
which handles automatic meters,
stating that if the dual COM
pany's proposition was accepted
within the next two days that a
substantial reduction would be
made on the price of the ma
chimes, but no action was taken
in the matter.
The bond of Archie Roberts,
city clerk, was read and ap-
proved.
Tax Matters Heard
There were several tax mat
tiers coming before the meeting
dealing with the adjustment of
amounts,% mainly by those who
are delinquent One-of these was
that of VIM. r. Porter, who in
formed the council some time
ago that he desired to make pay
ment of certain. taxes, which
would amount to about $4,000,
with revenue bonds. The mat
ter has been under adviSement
for some time and the council
agreed last night to allow Mr.
Porter this privilege as requested.
Colonel Brinton Heard
Colonel L. c. Brinton, a resi-
dent of the Southside section of
Key West, addressed the council
relative to unsightly abandoned
automobiles and other such I'M
slightly places, which are to be
found daily on vacant lots and
along the edges of streets in diff
ferent parts of the city.
Col. Brinton stated that he had
taken this matter up with the
mayor, but that nothing has ever
been done about it. Guy Carlton,
a local resident, also spoke in
connection with this matter. He
endeavored to ascertain as to
whose duty it was to have these
matters attended to.
Makes Changes
Councilman Will Roberts charg-
ed the mayor with being derelict
in the enforcement of city laws,
and suggested that the mayor be
contacted as to why these laws
were not being enforced. Coun-
Gilman Roberts said that if the
mayors explanation in the mat
ter was not satisfactory that steps
be taken to remove him from of
flee.
Councilman William Doughty
also stated that there were many
matters brought before the coun-
Gil that were really the mayors
duties.
After considerable discussion,
il was ordered that a special
meeting be called for Monday
night, and that the mayor be re-
quested to be in attendance for
the purpose of settling the mat

CANADA'S DEBT FOR YEAR SET
 AT $ MILLION

OTTAWA, May 6.-Finance Min ister Charles A. Cunning estimated in his annual budget message to the House of Commons that Can ada would have an overall deficit of $55,666,O00 for the fiscal year l938-39, which ended March 3l
 He estimated that final returns would show revenues of $50l SIT, = 00o-against expenditures of $557.- 343.G00, which includes an estimat- ed s25,000,0O0 less on the guaran- teed wheat price.
 Cunning said spending for arma- ments had "so far played minor part in Canada's economic life" and that an economic revival in Canada had been more natural than else where.
 Previous estimates of expenditures were exceeded, the finance minis ter said because of the disappoint- ing poor earnings of the govern ment owned railway system and the prospective losses in wheat market ing" which he placed arbitrarily at s25, ,0oO,0 ,0OO not wishing to disclose to world spectators the wheat sales and holdings.
 The net national debt on March .31, 1e3s was estimated at $3,157.- 334.000.

BASKETBALL
 FEUD RACES
Unqers and Aliens to Fight Perhaps Until Run
 Out of Brothers

DENVER, Col, May 8. = Like the reckless mountain boys" of the popular ditty, it looks as though the Ungers and the Aliens will be a. feudin' on the basketball court until they run out of brother.
 The Unger brothers-they have six to choose from-and the Aliens they have seven-are all even now, 1-1.
 The Unger clan won the first cage encounter between the warning brothers from opposite sides of town last year, 48-33 Some thought the Aliens couldn't come back, but they did recently 4l-28. The Aliens merely looked poker-faced when someone asked if it were true they had been practicing ever since they lost last year.
 The families played as though they meant it. Carl Allen was cut and bleeding when he was bounced off the brick wall back of one bas- ket. Harold Unger came out of melee with charleyhorse that looked as though someone had tied a bowknot in his leg. Joe Allen was piled into woman spectators lap
 The Ungers range in age from Bob, Is, to Claence, 33; the Aliens from Roy, 15, to Lee, 34 Although they have fewer players than the Aliens, the Ungers have Sister An netta to lead the cheering. So may be it's even.

 NEW YORK, May G. Major league baseball club owners are turn ing away from the auctioneer's stand and raising their own players down on the farm.
 Sometimes the farmer who raises wheat has to buy tomatoes at the market place. And so it is with the baseball clubs. What they don't raise they still have to buy, or bar ter for. But they're all trying to raise diversified crops these days.
 Owners have found that it is a precarious practice. and expensive, to try to buy themselves pen nant. Prices on established stars are sky high. Owners never can tell whether their new hired help will come up with sore arms or other ailments. Moreover, some times the players they need can't be bought at any price.
 Catch Elm Young
 So taking a tip from Brach Rick ey, they're all building up farm sys- tems where they can catch prospects young and cheap train 'em and bring em along to the Big Show when they're needed.
 The St. Louis Cardinals of the National League got the jump on the others in farm building and Rickey's club still has the largest chain. Maybe we shouldn't men ton that their chaingang of play CTS didn't do 'em much good last year, when they finished sixth9
 The Cardinals had 33 clubs in their chain last year, but have re- duced to 25 this season. The idea is to gradually move the youngsters up from Class D on through to Class A, allowing them to get ex- perience every year in faster league.
 The major-league farms are of two types-those owned by the ma jors and those with which the 
 majors have working agreements. In most cases of the latter type the majors furnish funds or players to the minor que clubs and in re- turn are given first chance at any promising players.
 Cubs Own Nc Farms
 It gives the majors a place to put their rockies out for seasoning and also enables them to get likely look CTS at a fair price without having to bid in open market.
 The Chicago Cubs, National league champions. own no minor-league clubs, but have working agreements with Milwaukee of the American association and Moline of the Three-I league.
 Larry MacPhail helped build a farm system for the Cincinnati Reds, favcrites to win the 1889 pen nant, and since taking charge at Brooklyn he has enlarged the Dodgers chain.
 Sc, it's back to the farm for the owners when replacements are needed.
