Official Coming Here In

this afternoon to study possible
REA purchase Of Key West Elsc-
trio company. and to inspect the
route Of power lines to be laid by
the Florida Keys Electric CO.
operative.
Falkenwald, who flew to Miami
from a similar survey in South
Carolina, is on his way here with
Ross Sawyer, Jr., newly appointed
superintendent of the key lines.
Julius F. Stone, Jr.. county at
torney studied purchase of the
local power company with Fall
kenwald recently at Tallahassee,
Under terms of the REA pro-
gram. Stone said bonds could be
issued with an interest rate of
2-48 per cent, while city councils
minimum offer for purchasing the
property was per cent interest,
and 6 per cent if the bonds were
not exempted from taxes.
Putting the purchase price at
$l,000.000, which is about what is
expected, Stone said the REA pur-
chase thus would save 100000
over a 30-year period in contrast
to the city's 4 per cent offer, or
would save $l,050,000, if the city
found it necessary to pay taxes on
the bonds.
Denying that REA purchase
would mean exemption of the
property from city taxes, Stone
said he was told by Falkenwald
that the government agency is
ready to sign a contract with the
city promising to pay all its taxes
on the power company,
Such contract would mean
continuation of the tax payments.

Official Berlin today likened
the situation in Russia to that

holding firm all along the front,
said strong German force was
beaten off yesterday south of
Leningrad, and fighting was re-
ported to have died out after the
Germans retreat during the
night.
