NeIU Fire Alarm
Boxes To Be Tried

Two new glaSs-type fire alarm
boxes will be installed shortly
m the POinciana and Macarthur
Homes projects, City Manager
. J. S. Ellingson said this morn
ing II the new boxes prove salts
factory. this type of alarm may
BE- installed on a city-wide basis,
he added.
The present alarm box is OPP
Grated by key, Ellingson said,
which Is retained by d resident
II the neighborhOod. He granted
that this is d less efficient meth
0d than the glass type under
which an alarm can be set off
merely by breaking the glass and
pulling down a lever.
The reason that the key-type
was installed here many years
ago, Fire Chief Leroy Torres
said. Is that the glass-type boxes
previously used resulted in so
many false alarms that they had
a. be abolished. EllingSon said
he hoped that this would not
happen with the new glasS-type
alarms.
The city manager and the
fire chief said that they had re-
reived visit recently from
Committeeman Murphy of the
Junior Chambcr Of Commerce
who was investigating the fire
alarm system and who said that
the system was antlquatcd. Ell
hnPsun said 1t was true the syS-
tenn has been IN use many years
and some of the wiring is in need
If replacing but both he and the
fire chief said that the system is
nevertheless in firStclaSs condl-
ton
The city manager said he IN
sisted that Murphy'S committee
trv the system at any time at any
box and suggested that d j. {. {
man be at the fire station at the
time that a fellow committeeman
pulls the alarm in order to check
whether or not the system IS OPP
Grating properly.

Drivers In Debate
On Collision Facts

Sharply conflicting evidence
appears in the report of brush
between a Ford and a Packard
made yesterday at Police Head
quarters by two men, each of
whom was driving somebody
elSe'S car.
1t. (jg) Richard Mccain said
a Packard driven by Francis
Mancino of Stock Island, side
swiped him as it pulled out from
the curb at Eaton and Simonton
streets, Friday evening. Mancino
said he not only did not side
swipe the lieutenant, but he was
not even moving.
Mccain, in rebuttal, says that
if Mancino was not moving then
he must have been parked four
feet, nine Inches out from the
curb, because measurements
taken after the accident show
that the Packard was that far
from the curb. 'Furthermore, i Nc
Cam says, the Packard had been
parked in mo Parking" area.
The Naval officer asserts he
was proceeding quietly south on
Simonton at about Is miles per
hour in a 1912 Ford coupe own
ed by 1t. Gg James A. Flenner.
AS he neared Eaton street, the
Packard, owned by Leroy Tor
res. 1922 Grinnell street, pulled
out from the curb. catching its
left front bumper in the Ford
fender, ripping it off so that it
dragged on the ground, said Nc
Cam. The bumper was sprung
and left a dent in the left fender
of the Packard. ~ IL.

Santaella Indicates Still
In Business In Key West;
C..of c. Manager Protests

Harold Iaubscher, acting man.
ager of the Key West Chamber
of Commerce. said today he is
going to write to the Santaella
company in Tampa and to the
editor of the Magazine "Tobac-
conist," protesting against the
company indicating in its adver-
tisements that it is still manufac-
turing cigars in Key West.
Carl Bervaldi, who was book
keeper with the Santaella COM
'pany when it operated in Key
West, stated that the company
discontinued the manufacture of
cigars here since shortly before
the 1885 Labor Day hurricane
struck the Matecumbes, more
than II years ago.
In the advertisement in To
bacconist" for November Is,
1916, the company says, Tampa
and Key West, Florida"
in reading that advertise
ment," Laubscher said, anybody
would be led to believe that the
company has a factory in Key
West. Though this city is far
from what it used to be in the
manufacture of cigars, the name
Key West is still remembered
by the trade, and it must be
considered an asset by Santaella
or it would not be used in its adj
vertisements."
Bervaldi further said that the
company sold it's factory and the
land on which it stood, and that,
so far as he knows, it does not
own real estate in Key West.
