WRONG IDEA in
RECENT ARTICLE
TO PAYMENT OF
CLAIMS IN INVEST
MENT COMPANY

Stockholders in the Tropical
Building and Investment Com
pany are continually calling at
the office of Judge Raymond r.
Lord, and asking for dividends
as shown by The Citizen, as be-
ing paid, which is wrong.
One of these owners of stock
in the company said to The Citi-
zen this morning that it should
be more careful in making state
ments in such an important thing
as money dividends.
This person was shown a copy
of the paper and asked to find
the article, and turned to the ar
ticle, and the legal notice. and
was astounded when he could not
find the word stakeholder" in
either.
The article distinctly said twice
in the body of the article and
once in the head, that the COM
|pany was paying claims to de-
Ipositors, nowhere in article nor
legal notice was the word stock
holder used.

10 months later, she is producing
pictures that sell for as much as

she had never had an artists

Something seemed to guide

He received the information
that the captain was too ill to be

there under the attention of his
wife, until sufficient signs of i'm

FORMER VISITOR
PROPOSES COMING
BACK in WINTER
THOMAS HART OF PHILA-
DELPHIA REVIEWS HIS SUB
SCRIPTIoN TO THE CITI-
ZEN

That tourists. winter visitors
and residents are much impressed
with Key West, SO much so that
they submit written evidence of
that fact, has been proven liter
ally hundreds of times in COM
munications received at the office
of The Citizen. Especially is this
true during the past year since
the opening of the Overseas
Highway, bringing multiplied
numbers of visitors to this city.
An average and good sample
of the interest being shown in
Key West is the letter to The Citi-
zen that is reproduced herewith.
1t comes from Thomas Hart of
Philadelphia, Pa, who, with his
family, spent the month of March
in Key West, and intends to spend
the coming winter seasons at this
resort. The letter follows:
1T is with real pleasure that /
send you my check for a renew
al of my subscription to The Key
West Citizen, which is quite one
of the most unique and locally
Informative newspapers that it
has been my privilege to read.
Just exactly what Key West
would do without the enthusiast
ic and generous support of its
newspaper, l cannot imagine. but
then, of course, it is not truly diff
ficult for newspapermen to paint
the true picture of as charming
city as Key West.
''Once again and for the. second
time in our lives, the Hart fam
lily enjoyed the, month OF, March
in your midst, and our only re-
greet IS that eleven months will
have to pass before we descend
upon you once again. For health
and relaxation Key West, in our
opinion, has no equal; for charm,
simplicity, hospitality and the
most excellent fishing of a life
time, it is unsurpassed.
1.-The youngest member of my
family, T. Hart, Jr., is now busily
engaged upon a 30,0O0-word art
icle upon the subject of Key
West, to be handed in as his
thesis in English at st. Georges,
Newport, Rhode Island, where he
is a student So you see that you
have infected him with the germ
as well as his elders. An import
ant part of his story, am sure,
will be the chapter that deals
with the sixty-pound grouper
that swallowed Tommy's already
hooked barracuda just off Ameri-
can Shoals Light three weeks
ago. / am sure that either that
adventure will be featured, or the
thrill of actually seeing a five
hundred-pOund marlin in the
wake of Captain Reggie Trevor's
boat, If he decides that this is the
more important of the two.

SPONGE BLIGHT
NOT AS BAD AS
WAS EXPECTED
MEMBER OF FISHERIES Or
GANIzATIoN PLANS TO
CONTINUE INVESTIGATION
HERE

DR.. Paul S. Galtsoff. Pm. D., of
the Bureau of Fisheries at Wash
ington, who arrived here for the
purpose of investigating the
sponge blight, said today that he
is continuing his investigations.
and is led to believe by his dis
coveries that the sponge beds in
the vicinity of the Bahama Is
lands, were greater sufferers
than those in these waters.
While the sponge beds in the
Bahama Islands suffered greatly
and the growths were destroyed
as much as 90 per cent, he did
not think that the wool sponge
in this section suffered damage
to a greater extent than about 66
per cent.
However the yellow and grass
sponge were completely killed in
some sections and in others had
suffered to a great extent. In
all cases it will be from four to
five years before the sponges
again become as luxuriant as
they were before they were at
tackled by the blight as sponges
are very slow growing ami
mails"
However the doctor does not
believe the blight was as great
as wasua first estimated, and dis
played a number of sponges
which had been attacked, were
badly torn and discolored, but
which showed every evidence of
dropping off the diseased por-
tons and were growing new
and healthy skin"
DR.. Galtsoff went out yester-
day with several owners of
sponging vessels. visited a num-
Der of beds and spots, and re-
turned with a collection of speci-
mems in various stages in dis
integration, which has been given
careful study under the micro
scope and various tests with for
mulas.
The doctor said he would con-
tinue his studies of the growths
until Monday when he will leave
for visit to several points on
the Keys and then 60 across the
state to other points and will
probably bring his Investigations
to a close at Tarpon Springs.
DR.. Galtsoff has as his travel
ing companion from Washington.
Captain l. v. MiShtout, who,
while not an expert, is very much
interested in the experiments be-
ing carried on by the doctor. and
is, as is the doctor. enjoying his
