 Shorty Roy had the only birdie for the week with 8 two on the second hole.
 The best played match of the week was Brown-Goulet versus Reid -Kuester. It was played on the second nine with Brown, Goulet and Kuester reporting 48 and a 52 The handicap was sufficient to give Brown Ooulet victory.
 The H. Lux-Kunkel team broke into the WIN" column when Wunsch substituted for Kunkel and scored a 50.

Not Many PriUatss

Because Of the many technical
duties OF the engineers, approx
mately three out of every seven
soldiers in this corps hold ranks
higher than that of private. In
addition, large number of spe-
cialist ratings exist, half of which,
with the extra compensation, are
held by privates.
These specialist ratings include
blacksmiths, buglers. carpenters
chauffeurs, clerks. cobblers, cooks,
demolition men (who handle high
expfUsivest craftsmen, electri-
clans, horseshoers, general mechan-
les, motorcyclists, riggers, saddlers.

Without the assistance Of e group

The tasks Of the engineers in

TO furnishing technical engineering

"TIME TO RECAPITULATE"

Six months ago, The Citizen published
a critical little story about Key West picked
up from f. F. O'Brien's PAR. in Havana.
EGi;onaIly, The Citizen admitted that o.
B,icn wasn't far wrong and urged local
residents to see that another year wouldn't
ron around with no more progress than the
past one.
Here's what Editor O'Brien said, and
Il is interesting to read now:
1T is now September-the summer is
over and il is the time to recapitulate what
has been accomplished this year.
HAS the road over the old railway
right Of way been built? Or even started?
Is there water in the city pipes?
Are the sewers in operation?
Glow about water supply and power
ii0c from the mainland?
Name a major accomplishment since
1897
The Citizen, in September, was forced
to admit that only on the question of sewers
was Editor O Brien even partly wrong.
Sewers we said, are in operation, but have
few users The others had rot been started
and there was no major accomplishment
oinco 1000 ~
Key Westers today can tell Editor o.
Bfien that work on part Of the road will
start within a short time and the chances
for its completion are most favorable; that
water will be flowing through the city
pres probably before Editor O'Brien sits
own to his Christmas turkey; that the
sewers still are in operation (and still don t
serve many peoples that water and power
lines are assured. and that major accom-
plishments, aside from these, can be
named.
The past six months have brought
amazing success to Key Westers who have
fought for the civic Improvements the
editor listed Neither they, nor he, can be
blamed for not foreseeing them.
It will be Interesting to see what PAR.
has to say when 'the time to recapitulato'
arrives this September.
