not taken care of was because
the city was not financially able
to appropriate the necessary
funds for handling the situation
Replies To Statement
In reply to a statement made
by Mrs. Winter during the meet
ing, that James H. LeVan, head
of the government mosquito-con-
troll unit operating here recently,
said that Key West was one OF
the most unsanitary places to be
found in the country, DR.. Warren
emphatically stated that he took
just exactly the opposite view in
the matter. He said that, consid-
ering there was no sewerage sys-
tenn here, and probably the lack
of other things found in a mod
ern city, that he considered Key
West to be one of the most health
full places in the entire country
and said that 1--WE were entirely
free of epidemics of any kind.
Others VINO gave short talks
relative to sanitation and mos
quito control were z. D. Harri-
son, sanitary engineer; c. G
Hicks, B. c. Moreno, r. Adrian
O'Sweeney, DR.. j. B. Parramore
and Willard Gibson.
Councilman William Doughty
suggested that individual com
plants on sanitation should be
made to the council by the Off
GERS handling the situation where
by the council may be able to
make some arrangements to rem
edy the condition.
To Catch Up Dogs
1t was ordered that a dog catch
er be employed by the city to
gather in all stray dogs, the dog
catcher to be paid Is cents q
head. The dogs will be impound-
ed and kept for a period of AZ
hours, and in the event that nc
one claims them, they will be
gassed.
To Retain Prisoners
1t was also decided to discon-
tinue the practice of sending city
prisoners to the county. In the
future the city prisoners will be
used in the work of collecting
excess trash that may be placed
in front of different premises
during the cleanup campaign
Trucks will be provided by the
city to take care of the situation,
The first unsightly and unsani-
tary place to be cleaned up in the
new program will be the grounds
at the foot of White street near
Rest Beach, which has become q
dumping ground for trash and
many other things.

then in thick groups, one landing
after the other. No clearance for
Havana was necessary, the pilots
and passengers checked in and
the names also to be checked

that of Captain Manuel Orta, who
is in Curtiss Hawk. He made
the 115-mile trip in so minutes.
Among the noted filters coming
over were Buddy Batzell, bat

Henderson Chamber of Commerce.
The Department of Commerce,
Bureau OF the Census, is rapidly
completing all plans for the census
to be taken in 1910, largest and
most complete census ever under
taken by this department, it was
oday revealed in a letter received
" Fred M. Allen, Jr., Secretary Of
the Henderson Chamber Of Com
.ncrce. The Henderson Chamber of
Commerce is working with the Cen
us Bureau in several ways, par
icularly in connection with the
.ensus Of Business and Industry.
The Business Census will begin
January 2, 1910, and each place Of
business in the United States will
be visited by enumeratOrs equipped
with schedule forms who will OBJ
tain necessary reports. This field
work will require staff Of 10000
erumerators, working under ap-
proxinately $50 supervisors, di-
rected by 100 area supervisors. Re-
porting is required by law of all
firms, however, for the protection
IF individual business, enumerators
Will be sworn and no information
will be divulged to any other gov
ornamental agency nor any private
concern.
City size classifications will be
BASED on the 1910 Population CEN
sus, which the Census Bureau will
take in April, 1910 Areas to be
included in various city popula-
.1, ham co4 IN
places, and in this connection, the
area which will make up Hender-
;cn's population has been con-
siderably enlarged. Westward from
Henderson, the limit will be APP
proximately one mile west Of the
present city limits; south of the
city, the line will run Just south
II the Elrod Lumber Co.; East Of
the City, the line runs slightly
forth Of the American Agricultural
Chemical Company, and North, the
Line runs across the Townsville
road approximately one-half mile
from the present corporate limits.
From this, it can be easily seen that
Henderson's population will be
greatly increased, both from the
standpoint of additional citizens
since the last population Census
taken in 1880, and also from the
extension Of boundaries which will
be used by the Census Bureau The
present population of Henderson as
recorded by the Census Bureau is
slightly over 5000, with Greater
Henderson estimated at 1873;
however even this latter figure will
no doubt be raised considerably af-
ter the 1910 census.
The work has. been planned in
such way as to permit the com
plete enumeration Of the Business
Census in June, which will make it
possible to publish the basic facts
for HendersOn-such as number Of
business concerns, volume of bust
ness, employment, and payroll-in

The Henderson Tobacco Market
continues to lead in the Middle
Belt. according to official figures
released this morning The local
market yesterday sold 555,290
pounds for S8998842 or an Of
ficiaI average of Sigh per hundred.
A sharp advance was noted toward
the end of this past week, and al
though there was still considerable
display Of tips and commOner
grades. Fridays prices set record
for prices paid this season. Anoth-
CT fact, which is of great interest
to tobacco growers, is that all floors
were cleared in Henderson's SIX
warehouses after sales yesterday,
leaving over seven acres OF 1loor
space for new offerings for sale next
week. Farmers have been urged to
bring their good tobacco into Hen
derson Immediately while there IS
strong demand for the better
types. Floors will be kept cleared
SO that it will be possible to place
tobacco on floors one afternoon and
sell the next morning, or by plac-
ing tobacco on some floors one
morning it can be sold the same
afternoon. Farmers are advised to
Withhold their tips until little later
when better demand develops for
them as companies seem to nave
more orders for primings and 9TH
Ell leaf grades.
The Henderson Market sold this
past week 2,936,16O pounds for an
official average of S14.70, paying
out S428,98731 to farmers for their
golden leaf. Seasons totals to date
amount to 7,O52,992 pounds sold
for an average Of over S14.5O. The
local market has sold twelve days
thus far this season, including the
three days selling before all mar
kets were closed for holiday. Inc
market has sold over twice as much
tobacco during the past twelve days
as were sold during the same period
cf time last year, and has sold al
ready over one-third the total vol
ume sold all of last year.
An attempt was made during the
pest week to have all markets go on
a five hour day instead of the six
hour day as now being used, how
ever it was officially announced
yesterday that the market would
continue selling six full hours per
day. Due to the half day selling
system used on the Henderson mar
ket only, farmers are guaranteed
four full half day sales each day.
Full offerings are expected next
week, although there will be ample
space for any who wish to sell
their tobacco New high levels in
prices are expected as sales start
again Monday.
