LONDON. June War ten
sion eased in the Far-east today.
Tension increased in Europe.
Back and forth goes the pendulum
that may yet swing to major
tcaRfaict across the waters But
there is no war as yet. although
the armies of.several nations. es-
pecially in the orient, are today
fighting just as if there were q
declared war.
In Europe the chief item of in
terest is the prediction by a
leading French diplomat that
war will come late this sum
mer" This prognosticator says ii
will come like this:
First the Danzig senate will
declare that the city has been
turned over to Germany. Poland
will then declare war against the
Nazis. England and France, be-
cause of their pact with Poland,
will be forced to declare war,
too
Prime Minister Chamberlain
stated yesterday approximately
the same belief. Today he ampli-
fled his prediction with this
hope, that ''he wishes Adolf Hit
Ter would realize, while he SEEM
ingly prepares for war, that Eng
land has reached the limit OF
their patience with his tactics
England is preparing to have
three-Quarters of a million men
under arms by the end Of August.
Whether or not Russia win join
in the coming conflict" depends
upon whether present negotia-
tons between that country and
England and France come to a
head English statesmen insist
that Russia will be their ally.
Germany listens to all these
announcements, then immediate
ly declines the responsibility for
any war shat may come. She
knows that England is blaming
her for alleged large concentra-
ton of soldiers in the Danzig
areayet she states that this is
not fact. She declares further,
that Danzig will become German
territory without any struggle,
chiefly because Danzig is pre-
dominantly German.

CERTIFICATE
INSTRUCTIONS
ARE RECEIVED
COUNTY CLERK INFORMED
OF STATUS RELATIVE TO
MONIES NOW BEING SENT
IN ron REDEMPTIoNs

Clerk Ross c. Sawyer, Of cir
cult court, informs The Citizen
that he is continually receiving
communications relative to the
sale or redemption Of tax GER
tificates and is, under the law,
finding it necessary to return
monies received in all of these
cases.
On June IL, directly after the
Murphy Act came to an end,
June 8, Mr.. Sawyer commune
Gated with Comptroller j. M. Lee
relative to this matter, and re-
.ceived the following from the
office OF the comptroller under
date Of June Is:
Replying to your letter of
June IL, will say that Section 8
of Chapter 1926 provides that
title now vests in the Trustees of
the Internal Improvement Fund,
on all lands which have out
standing state certificates which
were two years old on June 8,
1897, or four years old on June
8, 1899.
Such certificates may now be
disposed of only on such terms
and conditions as are authorized
by the Trustees of Internal Inn
provement Fund. You, therefore,
should await instructions from
these trustees as to the DISPOSE
ton of the certificates in the
classification mentioned above
On June II another letter was
received by Mr.. Sawyer from the
office of the comptroller enclos-
ing one from Attorney General
George Couper Gibbs, in which
the question relative to the duties
Of clerks Of the circuit court IS.
answered:
1T is my opinion" writes the
attorney general that all lands
in this state which had tax Ger
tificates against them four years
or more old on June 10, 1889,
passed to the State of Florida
under and by virtue of the pro-
visions of Section 8 of Chapter
1926, laws of Florida, 1887, and
therefore the clerks of the circuit
courts, who are custodians of tax
certificates against the land
which passed to the state, should
hold these certificates subject to
the further instructions of the
Trustees of the Internal Improve
ment Fund and in no event should
the clerks sell or allow these GER
tificates to be redeemed"
Mr.. Lees letter points out that
as the certificates have passed
out of the jurisdiction Of the
Comptroller as administrator of
the taxation laws, any further
instructions must be obtained
from the /. /. Board.
Mr. Sawyer said that in lieu OF
the foregoing communications
that he must abide by the ms
tructions, and will Immediately
advise, through The Citizen, all
who are interested, as soon as
any information is received from
the Trustees of the Internal In
provement Fund.

Report Is Issued In Re-
spouse To Request In
Connection With Secur-
ing Federal Project

The Key West Housing Author
iiy today releases a summary of
the survey made 10 dale of hous-
ing conditions in This city. a sur
veY being conducted under SUI
pervision of the WPA. and SUM
married in . letter TO r. s.
sweeley. U. S. Housing Author.
iiY representative for the State
of Florida.
The report is issued in response
to request from Mr.. Sweeley to
furnish figures on housing con-
ditions here with a view towards
authorizing a housing project UNI
der federal supervision in Key
West.
OF chief interest in the sum-
mary is information concerning
the number of sub-standard
dwellings now being occupied in
Key West. And. it Isl upon the
facts contained in eport. that
the local authority feels that
chances are excellent for favor
able response to their plans for
two 150-unit housing projects 10
be ordered for this city in the
comparatively near future.
According to procedure gener-
aIlS followed in other cities the
local authority was interested in
ssriirx et least 400 s'ahastanderd
dwellings-that being the figure
upon which necessity for housing
projects have been based. The
number Of such dwellings, cou-
pied with average income per
month in the $40 to $50 bracket.
has governed entirely the insti-
tuition of housing projects, and
the summary just released indi-
Gates that Key West is well in
line with requirements.
The dwelling survey is still GO
ing forward, however, two. of the
five districts to be covered have
been completed, and the report
is based on those two districts.
II was found that total of 9l8
families in these districts were
housed in; sub-standard houses.
and basing the population total
of the two districts as against
the total population of all five
districts. it is conservatively esti-
mated that there would be APP
proximately 1400 such dwellings
in the. whole city.
For Qualification purposes, the
local authority listed all houses
in need Of major repairs or un-
fit for use. with no inside toilet,
no running water. not owner-oc-
cupied. and a house in which
more than is people per room
were living-in the sub-standard
class.
Complete figures of the sum-
mary of the two completed dis
tricts show that 1873 percent OF
the homes were sub-standard
This figure was divided into AS
percent rented homes. 22.6 owned
and 81 vacant.
As to location Of housing prof.
'ects in the city, the local author
ity has no definite plans. Va
rious sites are under considera-
ton and when the time comes
action in that respect will be
taken. Meanwhile the surveys
are being completed in three 9th
er districts and the findings will
be forwarded to complete that
phase of the work.
