gestion of Ernest Bevin, Great
Britain's foreign minister, the
Big Four, representing that coun-

STA, will hold a conference to-
morrow to try to determine on a
form of procedure that will re-
suit in the drafting of the trea-
ties for the five German satel-
lites, Italy, Bulgaria, Finland,
Hungary and Romania.
Thus far, it was announced,
nothing of a substantial nature
has been done in preparing the
treaties during the five weeks
the representatives of the 81 ma
tons have been in session here.
Talk and more talk, without any
decisive action, it was pointed
out. has been the only result at
the conference, SO far as the
proposed treaties are concerned.
The Italian Political Commits
Sion informed the delegates to-
day that it had agreed to cede
St. Demands Pass, in the Alps,
to France.
Willard Thorpe, speaking for
the United States, said he. was
confident that greater progress
would be made at the confer
ences if the representatives of
one nation discontinued express
ing distrust of other nations. His
remarks concerned the tiff, yes
terday, between delegates from
Australia and Russia. Delegates
from the latter country asserted
that Russia opposed every line
of action when it was not in ac-
cord with the Russian view
point. Besides, the Russians at
the conference were charged
with trying to suppress eetails''
in the discussion of Questions

Thorpe expressed the hope
that, as result of the meeting

methods would be adopted that
would accelerate the drafting of
treaties for the Nazi satellites.

This Morning

Fifty seven different pieces of
property tax certificates were
sold this morning by Archie
Roberts, city tax collector. by the
auction method. Some of the
property owners had not paid
taxes on their holdings since 1916
and previous.
Four Key Westers, one of
whom was a lady, were the larg-
est buyers of the real estate tax
certificates. The lady, well
known, is not a native Key
Wester.} purchased the largest
number of certificates.
The majority of the property
offered had no bidders and will
now be held by the city for a
two year period. After that
length of time the city will ac-
quire the title and deed and then
the city may retain or sell the
property thus acquired.
Should any taxpayer want to
regain his property within the
two-year time limit, he may do
SO by paying interest on the
property to the city for the
length of time said property was
held by the city. The interest
rate has not been determined.
Archie Roberts stated today

about 500 tax certificates" and

Predict $50 Votes
For Commission Hin

A wise observer of past city
elections had this to say today
''In this special election for a
commissioner to be held Sept. 8,
the winning person will not poll
over $50 votes The reason for
this forecast ia that there no
other candidates summing for
other positions to draw interest
from the general public, and that
only those particularly interested
in the person running will be at
the polls on election day.

AuctiontTa
Attracts Orderly
Crowd OF Fifty

Archie Roberts, city tax col
lector, with two assistants, be-
gan the historical sale of $172,-
900 in delinquent tax certificates
this morning. Though tried many
years ago, but never successfully,
the sale today was a success for
the city.
A person who wanted to bid
on the announced auction realty
property could do so by bidding
an interest rate up to Is per
cent. The lowest and not the
highest interest bidder would be
the technical retainer of the
property. That is, if one person
bid Is per cent and another party
bid six per cent, the latter would
be adjudged the winner.
Should the property owner
not redeem his property within
two years, then the tax deed will
be given to today's successful
bidder. Should the property
owner redeem the property, he
must pay the bidder the auction
interest rate for the time which
ensued from this date to redemp-
ton, plus the full amount that
was due the city at the time of
sale.
All bids accepted by the city
are for full amount owed by the
delinquent on the property de-
sired.
The auction attracted an in
terested gathering of approx
mately so persons.
