WHAT'S WRONG IN TALLAHASSEE?

Continued inactiOn on the part of the
Internal Improvement Board at Talla-
hassee has caused much dissatisfaction
among those who bid on Murphy tax GER
tificates at sales held in January and Feb
ruary. The situation has caused much
concern to County Clerks throughout the
State, too, so much so that the news re-
leased yesterday was to the effect that
thew are now considering drastic action in
the matter.
Following a meeting held in Talla-
hassee. the clerks were told not to adver-
tise and hold any more sales of lands now
held by the l. l. Board, under terms of the
Murphy Act 1t was generally understood
that sales to be certified by the Board had
piled up to such an extent that more time
was necessary in which to clear the decks
for continuance of sales.
Since then, however, nothing has
been heard from the Board, both in this
county where hundreds of owners are
awaiting receipt of deeds to their property
bid for successfully, and in most of the
other &c counties of the state. What has
caused the delay in proper functioning UNI
der the terms of the Act, is not known
here.
Taking recognition of the state of at
fairs. the Clerks Association is now con-
sidering withdrawing from all cOopera-
ton with the l. l. Board. They may even
cancel all past endeavors by demanding
that the whole matter be taken up by the
Board as of June 9, 1889. leaving full re-
sponsibility to that agency for settlement
CT sales so far and continuance of sales in
the future
The clerks feel, and rightfully so,
that they are on spot. Bidders are look
ing to them for satisfactory conclusion
to the sales. 1t is not their fault that bid
ders are not accommodated. Perhaps the
threat that the clerks are now entertain
ing will serve to prompt the |. /. Board to
action The Citizen hopes so!

A KEY WEST AIR SERVICE?

One of the most frequently put ques-
tons is whether Key West is linked by air
with Havana and the north Majority of
those asking the question are surprised
This demand with the increased naval &C
tivity in Key West may result in the es-
Enlistment of such q service-we hope.
From Havana comes news that Key
West may soon become stop of "a pro-
posed service between New York sand Ha-
vana. In the May issue of p A. R. (Pan-
American Review published in Havana
appears this significant statement:
eff the u. S. civil aeronautic authority
grants the petition of National Airlines
(such action is not unlikely Havana will
soon be the southern terminus of a direct
air line from New York. That through
traffic would include stops at Key West
Tampa, Augusta, Winston-Salem and
Washington. That fast land planes being
used instead of pOnderous seaplanes, the
hop from Key West (Which would regain
the airfield it lost to Miami some years
ago. to Havana would take less time than
now needed for transportation between
Dinner Key ard Eastern Airlines at
Hialeah That there would be connec-
tons with the P. & O. steamship lines,
Florida Motor Lines and railways every
where. -
The fact that an important airlines
company is seeking TIC establish a service in
which Key West is included would seem to
demand some local action looking to the
establishment of an airport close to Key
West. For some months certain of our
public and civic officials have been daily
ing with the proposal to locate an airbase
on one of the nearby keys, but so far no
tangible action seems to have been de-
veloped
The Citizen believes this proposal
should be given a little more attention.
Naval activities are being Speeded up in
Key West A new naval seaplane base is
being constructed on Trumbo island sec
ton. In the meantime there is consider
able discussion of new army land plane
bases in Southern Florida The Miami air
port is being developed along this line. An
airport within 10 or II miles of downtown
Key West would give the army strategic
jumping off point for Guantanamo Bay,
Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and the
Panama Canal Zone. Airport action seems
imperative.
