LOUISE DEVITO
 SEEKS $lO,OOO Frank COlangelo Defend- ant in Action Based on
 Fall on Steps

Louise Devito filed suit in the Court of Common Pleas this morn- ing against Frank Colangelo seek ing $l0,000 damages as the result of injuries sustained when she fell on steps approaching the rear en- trance to the tenement in which she lived at 2S1-233 Easton avenue,
 The plaintiff claims that as a re- suit of the negligence of the de- fendant who owned the building she sustained permanent leg and ankle injuries, fracture of the tibia, and other injuries, which have disabled her for months.
 The accident happened on Nov. 13, 1889 and was the result, it is claimed, of a faulty step leading to the rear entrance to the tenement and the fact that there was no handrailing alongside the stems leading to the entrance.

 The following statement was sub- mitted to The Democrat this morn- ing in a hope of clarifying Sundays story

MORE NIGHT SPORTS

Lighting engineers believe that i'm
proved and more economical outdoor light
ing systems will eventually lead to the
playing of most athletic games at night.
Recent trends lend support to this belief.
Now that night baseball has been &C
copied to some extent in the major leagues,
the prejudice against sports under arti-
fetal illumination which formerly existed
seems to have been largely overcome
Great strides have been made in ath-
letic field illumination within the last few
years, and there seems to be no reason why
practically every form of. outdoor games
may not be played at night.
Several large electrical companies
have special research departments survey
ing the field of sports and developing light
ing plants which the average community
can afford One electrical engineer pre-
diets that athletic fields of the future will
be constructed so as to have playing space
for number of different sports base
ball, football, softball, tennis and others.
Night games give opportunities for
enjoying them to many who are unable to
attend in daytime, and in the heat of sum-
mer the spectators are much more COM
Portable than in daytime. They therefore
promise to become more and more popular
as lighting facilities are extended to the
smaller communities.

MONROE PROPERTY SOUGHT

Activity in the Monroe county real
estate market seems to be picking up. It
is becoming increasingly evident that it
isn't safe to leave valuable property in an
unprotected condition 1t is obvious that if
the present owners of Key West and Mon
roe county property do not value their
holdings other ard smarter investors do.
County Tax Collector Frank H. Laid
had proof of this the other day. He adj
vertised the sale of some 600 parcels of
property for delinquent taxes. Ordinarily
such sales attract little or no attention.
Imagine Mr.. Ladd's surprise when large
group appeared for the sale. They quick
ly snapped up the tax certificates on some
SO parcels, while the remainder passed to
the state. The properties bid in by the
buyers included some choice parcels in
Key West, along the keys and on the
mainland section of the county
There are two facts apparent in this
rush to acquire Monroe property. First,
investors are beginning to realize the value
of Monroe property; second, property
owners will have to watch in future to be
sure their holdings are not bid in by buy
ers who have the money to pay taxes.
Many Monroe property owners, fol-
lowing an old Monroe custom, paid no at
tention to Mr.. Ladd's advertisements that
their holdings would be sold for taxes.
The delinquent taxes against the proper
ties put up for sale did not amount to
much, certainly not enough to work a
hardship on the property owners. There
was only one reason why the taxes were
not paid-apparently the property owners
are expecting a benevolent legislature to
pass another Murphy act, thus enabling
them to hold their properties by pay
ment of trifling traction of the accum-
ulated taxes.
1t may be the smart thing to await
the passage of such an act in sections
where there is no particular demand for
property Just now it looks as though
Monroe property is in demand After all,
the amount of property available in the
county is limited. In few years the Flor
ida keys may become the great play
ground, the Riviera of America.
1t seems to The Citizen that Monroe
property owners should meet their rel
atively small tax bills promptly and pro-
tect themselves against heavy interest
payments and loss of valuable assets.

KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY

From The Files OF The Citizen

to find himself almost completely
surrounded by flames and aSarely
escaped with life from. the fierce
fire which completely destroyed
the residence and its contents,
according to reports. The pro-
perry was owned by Eugene C.
Pinder and was situated on Flo
rida street at the edge of the
salt pond just off the County
Road near White street. In
surance to the amount of $4,000
is known to have been carried on
the building but none on the
contents. Fire Chef Ralph Pin
der, who lives not far from the
scene of the fire, states that when
he arrived the flames were al
ready shooting from every win
dow in the building and the
structure was doomed before the
arrival of the fire trucks. The
owner of the home is expected
to arrive from Miami today.
