MANY PLANTS
STOLEN HERE
REWARD OF FIVE DOLLARS
OFFERED FOR ARREST
AND CONVICTION

Plants of various kinds, includ-
ing varieties of cacti, are being
stolen from the nursery of the
Key West Garden Club and Tree
Guild, and a reward of SIS is be-
ing offered for the arrest and
conviction of the thieves.
Ladies, who are members of
the club, say they can not con-
ceive of persons stealing the
plants because when the groWths
reach the age when they are ready
for transplanting, they are given
to those residents who are low
ers of nature and properly care
for their plants and trees.
Members of the Garden Club
and Tree Guild are very much
disturbed by the theft of the
plants and are determined to
make every effort to have the
marauders placed where they are
unable to further carry on their
depredations.

DELINQUENT TAX
LIST OF COUNTY
BEING PREPARED
TAX COLLECTOR SAYS THAT
LIST BEING PREPARED
WILL BE LARGER THAN
USUAL

County Tax Collector Frank H.
Laid is at work at this time COM
piling the list of delinquent tax
payers which is now being got
ten in shape for regular publica-
ton, and says that it will be
larger than usual.
1t is surprising, the number of
names which will be included in
the list, said Mr.. Ladd. Those
who have redeemed their prop
erty under the provisions of the
Murphy act. and thus paid the
taxes for 1887, seem to have lost
sight of the fact that 1888 taxes
must be paid.
There are a number of others,
owners of homesteads, who were
supposed to pay nothing on the
tax rolls for 1887, but who pos
Sibly have forgotten that there
was a mandamus secured against
the county and a two mills tax
was ordered placed on the rolls
for 1888.
Of course this tax of two mills
is very small and even on large
homestead holdings will not
amount to much, but it must be
paid, or the property will be
added to the delinquent list and
advertised.
The collector suggested that
the owners of such properties
look carefully into this matter,
make. the necessary payments
and avoid future embarrass-
ment.
