FREEMAN REFUSES TO
SIGN WARRANTS FOR
CITY'S RELIEF FUND

William A. Freeman, president
of the Key West City Council,
who stated at the time the relief
and expense" account for five
city officials was ordered that he
would not sign the warrants, has
carried out his declaration BY
refusing to sign the pay checks
drawn up in connection with the
recent payroll made for city en-
ployeS and officials and submit
ted to him for his signature.
MIR. Freeman declared that the
only way he would sign the war
rants was that if the state legis-
lature valdiates the action of the
council in the matter
The council president amplified
his statement by saying he felt
this action was contrary to a leg
islative act passed by the legisla-
ture, fixing the salaries of the
five officials in question. The Of
ficials involved are the mayor,
chiefs of the police and fire de-
partments, captain of police and
police lieutenant.
When the matter came up for
discussion some time ago. at n
council meeting, B. c. Papy, rep
reSentative from this district to
the state legislature, said that he
would validate the councils ac-
ton in voting the money at this
time because he felt it was legal
under the circumstances as an
emergency now exists in the
city. Mr.. Papy fathered the
bill setting the salaries of the
five officials.

No Ban on Duck Shooting Likely in FuII;
Conodion Bounty Helps Cut Down Crows

"As far as the United States De-
partment OF Interior is concerned,
there will be no ban on duck shoot
ing this fall" Ducks Unlimited, the
largest organization of sportsmen
in the world, hears from an official
source. That is good news.
Several States, however, have re-
quested later seasons and these re-
quests probably will receive some
consideration. Whether this would
extend the seasons beyond the added
10 days in January at present is not
clear.
In almost all Atlantic coastal
waters, wartime regulations prohibit
the carrying Of firearms aboard
boats. This restriction may come
up for revision before the opening
of the 1912 season.
Tom Main, active head Of Ducks
Unlimited. in his July report notes
an oddity in nesting habits observed
this spring. So packed were the
marginal marshes with duck, that
the birds appropriated one another's
nests. He attributes 1t to the main
tainance OF permanent water levels
with the birds crowding into these
areas much as war workers are
crowding into Washington.
Tom found nine mallard and two
gadwall eggs in one nest, II gadwall
and one mailard In another and II
pintail and two scaup In = third.
Others showed II spoonbill and two
mallard eggs and 10 blusvins teal
and two mallard.
