to the Board of Finance rather than to the aldermen, as Controller Sher- wood L. Rowland, member of the Board of Finance, had devised.
 Local Firm
 The specifications will go to six firms, one of them local firm which sought opportunity to make a pro- posal on the job.
 The firms are: Griffenhagen & Associates; Barrow, Wade, Guthrie & Company, who maintain a state headquarters office in Waterbury; Clark & Turnblom of Waterbury; Hurdman & Cranstoun of New York City; the Frank J. Murphy Company of Ne wHaven; Hadfield, Rothwell, Soule & Coates of Hartford, The board voted to receive pro- posals on the audit up to 7:30 p. m., April 21.
 The board voted to recommend to the board of aldermen a transfer of $6,O00 to maintain the WPA school repair project employing 95 persons, into which the WPA will pay $40,000 in salaries during the next 16 weeks. Originally, the school department and the WPA had sought about $17,000 for two related projects within the category of school work but this was carved down to about $12,000 at joint meet ings held by the economy commit tee of the board.
 Approval of the $6,O00 transfer from the finance boards relief con- tigency fund by the aldermen Mon- day night will mean that the $175,- 900 fund, as of the first of the year, has been depleted to about $94,OOO during the first three months of the year. The major "bite" was the $33,500 transfer made by the alder men March 27 in order that sewer projects employing HOO men on WPA might be continued. An addi- tional $10,000 will be required to carry the city's share of this work through the quarter ending July 1.
 Loan Approved
 The controller sought another $150,0O0 temporary loan from the street and general improvement bond fund, adding it to the quar- ter of million dollars he borrowed recently. The treasurer's report showed the city to have a balance of $851, 1,981.51 before the loan was approved by the board.
 The board voted $104 to the well

Grand Jury Approves Bingo
AS Test Case Goes To Court
Especial to The citizen,

LONG ISLAND CITY, N. Y,
Dec. 18.-Recommending that the
law fit the behavior instead of
making behavior fit the law, the
November Queens County Grand
Jury decided that Bingo must
stay and that the statutes that
ban the games must be repealed.
In compliance with the re-
quest of the jurors, copies of the
findings will be sent to the speak
er of the Assembly, Governor
Lehman and the president pro-
tenn of the State Senate, District
Attorney Charles p. Sullivan
said. Since this ruling ''five
legal guinea pigs, whose cases
will test the operation of the
laws that forbid Bingo for char
ity, were before Judge Charles S.
Golden. The defendants pleaded
mot guilty and were paroled in
custody of their attorney, L. T.
Flatto, for trial January Is.

The grand jurors, after thor
oughly studying Bingo, said: I'VE
believe the game as now con-
Quoted, primarily for charitable
purposes, is in itself a harmless
pastime and it has resulted in
providing modest incomes for
many churches, hospitals and
other charities conducted by
worthy non-profit organizations
of a public or semi-public ma
ture. Many thousands of per-
sons apparently participate and
derive pleasure from the playing
of this game. Therefore, we
recommend that a change be
made, SO that this game, when
played under circumstances sim
liar to those existing in this
country, be legalized".
The illegal guinea pigs" were
arrested in November for operat-
ing a Bingo game for the benefit
of the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Children. They
were indicted by the Grand Jury.

South Beach Project
/ To Receive Attention
HOTEL ASSOCIATION TO RAISE FUNDS TO KEEP
BEACH CLEAN; PUBLICITY BUREAU WILL BE
STARTED AT MEETING TOMORROW

Proposals for raising addi-
tional money to carry on South
Beach cleaning campaign and
for operating a publicity bureau
for Key West will be discussed
tomorrow by members of the Key
West Hotel and Tourist Homes
Association. They will meet at
$3.50 p. m. at La Concha Hotel.
South Beach is proving the
most popular spot in Key West
for tourists and residents alike.
Rarely day goes by that from
200 to 900 of them does not APP
pear on the beach. The sand is
clean and kept clean.
Within the next few days the
Hotel Association expects to start
work on reconstruction of the
wooden pier at the foot of Simon
ton street, and the construction
of ladders on that pier and the
other jutting from the foot of
Duval street. The piers are to
be whitewaShed. Benches are to
be placed at the edge of the sand
for those who do not wish to don
bath suits and stretch out on the
sand.
President r. A. Lehman of
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1939-12-18

the association points out that
the fund for cleaning the beach
is about exhausted. A man must
be stationed there seven days a
week to keep the sand clean and
to police the spot as a protection
to bathers against ball playing
and rowdyism.
Plans for setting up a pub
hcity bureau are nearly COM
pleted. The association has voted
to finance the project insofar as
expenses are concerned. This
money must be provided, Presi-
dent Lehman points out.
Many businessmen who have
seen the beach are pleased with
the result of our efforts and
have indicated they will support
the project, Mr.. Lehman said
today. 1--WE must arrange to
raise the funds and keep this
beach in top shape for tourist en-
joyment. 1t is one of our best re-
sort assets. The publicity bureau
is necessary to bring more tour
lists here. The campaign for
more tourist facilities and for
bringing more tourists here go
hand in hand"

agent in Miami; J. A. Bliss, Jr.,
of Bliss Travel Service in Miami,

Jack Bliss had a hard time of
it. First he couldn't seem to hook
the big barracuda, which were
chopping the socks off his bait.
Then he hooked into some big
fellow that carried away the
line with a single fast jerk.
Finally, he began to catch them
and brought in the prize of the
day, 25pound, ugly-eyed bar
racuda.
Dad" Bliss caught the first
fish of the party and B. Gill got
terribly excited over the big fell
lows he was pulling in. High
light of the day was watching a
50-pound black grouper appear
off one side of hooked barra-
cuda and start tearing away at
the 'cuda. 1t was a gripping bat
tie of the deep.
The BliSSes were renewing
their acquaintance in Key West,
