Beach Project Approved
By Hotel Group; Protest
OCcupatiOnd Tax Raise

Expressing confidence in the
beach committee headed by Col.
L. c. Brinton, the members of
the Key West Hotel and Tourist
Homes Association voted in favor
of a development between Duval
and Simonton streets that would
give tourists maximum beach ia
cilities at a minimum of expense
at meeting yesterday.
Members of the association be-
lieve it would be unwise to at
tempt to erect lighthouses and
other more or less permanent
structures on the beach if and
when the property is leased from
the Sweeney and Cato estates.
In this it is reported that Col.
Brinton and the beach commit
tee agree. 1t is planned to erect
suitable shelters and place bench
es at the beach, ana to clean it
up. The plan also will include
provision for keeping the sand in
good condition throughout the
season, it was reported to the as
ISOLATION.
Some communication from the
beach committee to city council
on the beach matter probably will
be submitted this week, the no
tel owners and operators were in
formed.
The association also went on
record as opposing the IS percent
increase in occupational taxes.
The concensus of opinion among
the hotel and tourist homes in
terests is that the taxes now are
high enough. The association
plans to appear before city coun-
Gil in a body to voice their pro-
tests to the higher tax.
Another meeting of the associa-
ton is scheduled to be held next
Tuesday at La Concha Hotel.

ito when one of the tires on his

Florida's six-months' sugar cane

ing 80 percent of the u. S. sugar
needs under provisions of federal
law, chose to sell their sugar to
European buyers and Cuba be-
came reluctant to sell raw sugar
TO United States refinerS, know
ing that u. S. refiners would
have to pay Cuba's asking price
IN the end.
However. in spite of this situa'
ton, the price of refined sugar
has declined within the past sew

beet sugar factories in the west
and Louisiana and Florida sugar
factories are now making avail

Prices for sugar will be held at a
common-sense level if the entire
American market is opened to the
American producer, Morgan

According to the rumors, Flo
ridians are expecting record
breaking tourist influx this year
because of the European War

hike charges in order to increase
winter tourist profits. :

clared, "but there is absolutely
no justification for remarks that
Florida intended to hold up its

upon hearing of these rumors,

prepared and gave wide distribu-

NEW YORK WORLDS FAIR,
Oct. Is (FNS).-Behind the story
of Florida's being the first exhib-
it to sign up for the 1910 Worlds
Fair is the publicity genius of
Earl Brown. who has once more
stolen the show from the great
industrial, foreign and state ex-
hibits at the Fair.
Naturally, the first exhibit to
sign up would get considerable
publicity. Standard Brands had
planned TO announce the signing
up of their exhibit with Charlie
Mccarthy and Edgar Bergen, who
promote their Chase & Sanborn
Coffee. Ford and General Motors
had announcements in the offing
with appropriate ceremonies,
but before anyone knew it Gen
eral Dennis E. Nolan, director of
States Participation for the Fair,
had announced Florida's partici-
patton and Harvey Gibson. chair
man of the Worlds Fair, and
Earl Brown, were signing papers
while movie news cameras
ground away and flashlights
blaZed.
The New York Herald Tribune
carried full page headline on
Florida's participation and the
announcement received import
ant space in newspapers all over
the country.
