COUNTY CLINIC
GROUP STARTING
new FUNDSDIIVE
INDIVIDUAL CONTRIBUTIONS
FALL AWAY ALARMINGLY:
COOPERATION OF PATIENTS
ASKED

Faced with providing funds
for the continuance of the Mon
roe County Clinic the Welfare
Advisory Council is alarmed
over the dropoff of individual
contributions.
DR.. John Gekeler, treasurer of
the group, reports that the con-
tributions have fallen away to an
extremely small few. Accord
ingly the Council has appointed
j. P. Dorgan as collector and Mr..
Dorgan is at present making his
rounds of the, city.
Mrs. Florence Spottswood,
chairman of the Council, today
made a plea to all those who
have been treated at the Clinic
free of charge because of their
inability to pay that they pay
the below-cost fees for medicine
and room service as soon as they
find they are able to do so. Many
of those who could not afford or
binary doctors and hospital fees
find they can pay the fees of the
Clinic and do so. Without these
funds it would be impossible to
run the Clinic, unless added
sources of revenue were avail
able.
Recently, too, the number of
cases at the Marine Hospital have
been more costly than usual.
One hundred and ninety-one
cases have been treated there,
free of charge, except for a small
carrying charge for room service.
The total paid by the clinic was
$2,801.97. 1t received from
patients $3.50. The difference
must be Jumped in with other
expenses of the Clinic and taken
care of through revenues of
which individual contributions
are part.

IS Percent OF Property
Owners Use Murphy Act
Expect 80 Percent OF Prop
erty To Be Cleared Of
Delinquent Taxes; 49,
600 Items In County

According 10 the clerical de-
pariment handling The Murphy
zaiion of Monroe county property.
there is about rs percent of the
clearing of taxes of the county
completed with about 80 percent
the total expected.
In the settled part of Key West
Island Multiplication has been
completed for about rs percent
of the city. There remains out
lying sections of the city and
property which is owned by poor
er people here.
OF the ia Florida Keys, all of
which are owned by someone,
about So percent have taken adj
vantage OF the Murphy Act and
cleared their past taxes for small
fees. The mainland area is pretty
well completed with oil COM
paniss Murphyizing their leased
lands. Land company near the
Cape Sable region has also COM
pleted its work in this matter.
Thus far there are LOO prop
erty owners in the county who
have Murphyized their property.
There are, however, about 10000
parcels in the county.
The deadline for Murphyizing
ones property has been set by
Clerk of Circuit Court Ross c.
Sawyer for May 10, in accordance
with orders to have all clearanceS
through the Murphy Act COM
pleted by June 9.
Properties are cleared of their
delinquent taxes by the payment
of $1l for the first parcel and 81
for each subsequent parcel, plus
small commissions in both cases.
II one Murphyizes one parcel,
then waits longer he m0st pay Sill
for the first of the second parcels
entered.
Property under the Murphy
Act is determined by certification
with each lot or part of a lot GER
titled separately considered as
one parcel. This point has to be
often explained to those who
lump many parcels under one
homestead.
Under the Murphy Act the
property is sold at public auction
with the owner buying it. In
Monroe county there has been nc
competitive bidding. All delin-
quent taxes may be cleared of
