Trumbo Ball Field

Three upper key communities.
whose residents say they have
been left unprotected against
possible fire. last night won ap-
prevail of county commissioners
for chemical truck to be used
jointly by all three.
Delegations from Islamorada,
Tavernier and Marathon, with
Fire Chief Harry Baker of Key
West backing up their complaint,
told the commissioners they could
not afford to wait for the arrival
of the aqueduct without some pro-
lection against fire in the mean
time. Too far from either Miami
or Key West to get help, mem
bers of the delegation said fire
might wipe out any of the three
communities.
The commissioner agreed to
advertise for bids on a chemical
truck to cost in the neighborhood
of 5000. Admittedly only stop
sap protection, the truck, it is be-
lieved, would be valuable in put
ting out boat or automobile fires,
and might prevent a major blaze
II brought to the scene quickly
enough.
In brief session, the commits
sioners agreed to donate $50,
matching similar appropriation
from CITY council, to permit COM
pletion of work by the city-county
recreation committee on the
Trumbo Island baseball diamond.
Fire Chief Baker, as the prob
able choice for chairman of the
fire committee under the newly
set up defense council, was voted
$50 as expenses to attend a con-
vention of fire chiefs at Jackson
vile. July 15-l6-17.
Asked to endorse the work of a
distributor for booklets contain
ing maps of Key West and the up
per keys, members of the group
voted TO refer that and all similar
requests to the recently organized
Monroe county advertising COM
mittec.
The commissioners also APP
proved resolution introduced by
Commissioners f. A, Ramsey. pro-
viding that persons wishing board
approval for local bills must pre-
sent them to the board before adj
vertising. Although the measure
will have no effect this year, Ram
sey said it woald be well for
everyone to understand that the
commission must have time to

Der of SRA employees from 768 to

San Francisco, Alameda, Contra

Cooley said that the changed sit

He attributed the reduction in
