DISTRICT HEADS
ASK CONGRESS-
TO CUT TAxIS
Painless Program Sent
To Speaker Bankhead

Legislation authorizing the Pub
lie Utilities Commission to reduce
the number of taxicabs in Wash
tngton was asked Of Congress to-
day by the District Commissioners.
Renewing their plea for taxicab
reduction, the Commissioners sent
their appeal to House Speaker
Bankhead, with a draft Of pro-
posed bill for painless decrease
In the number Of cabs.
NO MORE RENEWALS
In order to prevent hardship
on present operators and owners
of cabs, the Commissioners
recommended that the decrease
should be accomplished by revok-
ing licenses of drivers who have
violated laws or regulations and
by refusing to renew licenses of
cabs voluntarily retired from op-
Grafton.
In their communication to
Speaker Bankhead, the Commits
sioners pointed out that the PUG
believes the number Of cabs
should be greatly curtailed.
However. they pointed out, the
total must be not reduced to the
point where a monopoly would
be created.
CHANGE LICENSE DATES
At the same time, the CommiS-
sioners forwarded a draft of an
other bill. changing the dates for
the issuance of licenses to taxi
cabs and small sightseeing buses
from July ! to March /.

left today in a message by Carl

For this reason, said DR.. Ras-

MAYOR ALBURY EXPLAINS
HOW ACTION IS NOT pos
SIBLE UNTIL LATER

Mayor Willard Albury stated
to The Citizen last evening that
it would be advisable to acquaint
the citizens of Key West with
the situation in regard to Zoning.
The enabling act passed last
spring at Tallahassee does not
allow Mayor Albury to appoint
the new Zoning Board, specific
ally stating that the new group
shall be appointed by the admin
istration and city council after
the election November IA.
This wording, then, does not
allow Mayor Albury to fill the
vacancies existing on the Board,
and also stops the city council
from enacting the Zoning re-
strictions into law. Mr.. Albury
stated that many people had re-
quested that he appoint the
Board. The above explanation
should clear the matter up to
everyone's satisfaction.

First Of Five Weekend.
Highway Excursions Is
Inaugurated Tomorrow

Starting midnight tonight for
the next five Weekends ending
October %, the Overseas Bridge
District will feature excursion
rates with car and driver MAX
ing the trip for the usual one
fare and each additional passen-
ger paying his fare each way.
The Bridge Commission esti-
mates that from 20 to 25fo of en-
tire traffic over the Highway
comes from Miami licensed cars.
In the summer it is expected that
this average is far beyond the
estimate.
The excursion is designed to
stimulate travel of Miami anglers
and sightseerS who come down
on the bridges each weekend to
also make the trip to Key West.
Key Westers also may take the
trip to Miami at reduced fare. It
is hoped that the increase in traf-
fic will warrant the reduction in
fare for more excursion periods.
Hundreds of cars which come
down to the bridges from Miami
over the weekend turn around
when they come to the toll gate
on Big Pine to avoid paying the
two fares.
The trip over the bridges is a
source of keen enjoyment to Mi
ami visitors who enjoy a week.

goes to sea-. With cool ocean
breezes refreshing them while
motoring over the ocean, many
also stop to enjoy the angling
luck. Extremely large fish are
brought in from the bridges, in
Guiding the gentleman gladiator
of the sea, the silver tarpon and
many of the delicious Atlantic
food fish, such as muttonfish,
snapper, grunts, yellowtail.
With the reduced fare a visi-
tor from Miami may leave Fri
day night or Saturday afternoon,
spend sometime fishing on the
bridges or motoring, then come
into Key West that night to en-
Joy themselves. Sunday morn
ing MAY be spent in sightseeing
here and Sunday afternoon in
making the return trip.
Many Key Westers who do not
feel able to make the trip to the
bright city of Miami with the
double toll fares can now make
IL at half the cost.

ONLY FIVE HAVE
ANNOUNCED FOR
NOV, IA ELECTION
CONSIDERABLE DOUBT IN
ELEcToRATE's MIND AS TO
WHO WILL BE OR WHO ARE
CANDIDATES

There is a great deal of talk at
this time about who are the can
didates who will be in; the race
for the several offices that will
be the goals sought at the city
election on November IA, but as
far as the general public is. aware
there are but five candidates
who have announced and none of
them are for mayor.
The four who have declared
themselves as being in the race
are Ivan Elwood, candidate for
reelection to the office of Police
Chief; c. Floney Pellicier, candi-
date for the same office; Myrtland
Gates, who now holds the posi-
ton of patrolman on the force
and who has announced for the
position of Captain of Night Po-
lice; John Carbonell, Jr., who Of
fers himself for election to mem
bership on the City Council, and
Jonathan Gates. who is also a
candidate for Council.
From activity, which is evil
denced in different sections of
the city there are candidates for
other offices to be voted on in
November, but as far as the read
ing public is concerned nothing
has appeared to inform them Of
ficially that any other offices are
sought or will be.
The election is approximately
six weeks distant and it is time
that the candidates place their
announcements in the official
column of The Citizen in order to
advise the voting public who are
to be candidates on Tuesday, No
