OFFERS 1876 ACRES OF LAND
TO COUNTY FOR USE AS PARK

A proposal to donate 1875 acres
.of land on Summerland Key to
Monroe County as park was re-
ceived yesterday at a special
meeting of the County Commits
sion.
The purpose of the meeting
was to cancel a $14,750 contract
for replacing damaged sections
of the present wall around the
eastern part of Roosevelt Boule-
ward.
After voting to give Hudgins
and Alfonso, Inc, S percent of the
contract, or $737.5O, for work al
ready started on the contract, the
commission received word that
the State Road Department
would undertake construction of
a new seawall the full length of
Roosevelt boulevard, as reported
yesterday in The Key West Citi-
zen.
Chairman Frank Bentley of the
commission reported that he had
been informed that the State
Road Department would under
take the new construction and
said that the county's contract
with Hudgins and Alfonso was
unnecessary.
Henry c. Hudgins of the con-
tracing firm, who was present,
said he had already ordered steel
for the contract and other things,
and added that 5 percent Of the
contract would be acceptable to
him for, he said, he knew the
county expenditure of $14,750
was not necessary.
In accordance with Hudgins'
suggestion, the contract was can
celled as of yesterday and the
commission ordered Clerk Earl r.
Adams to draw check to Hud-
gins and Alfonso for $737.50.
Then the commission received
an offer from Hudgins to donate
33.5 acres of land on Summer

plishments during the past three
years is ample testimony of just
how well ! have kept this prom

factsthat have been 4 member

Boards of County Commissioners

Working as unit we have en-
deavored to serve all races, class

impartiality, keeping ever in
mind only the welfare and de-
velopment of our county along
all lines. l would like to take this
opportunity especially for the
benefit of the comparative new
conner to our county to enumer-
ate but a few of our accomplish
mentS:
Construction of a home for the
aged residents of our county on
Stock Island; acquisition of the
County Hospital from the Federal
Government at a fraction of it's
actual cost; acquisition of the
health clinic, one of the finest in
the south; furnishing our citizens
with mari for fill and construc-
ton purposes at greatly reduced
prices thereby accelerating the
development of the undeveloped
areas throughout the county; de-
velopment of a Negro recreational
site at Fort Taylor, contract for
which has been recently let for a
modern athletic field; provided a
home for the aged colored citi-
Gems of our county; construction
of lateral roads on the Keys
thereby aiding them to develop
more rapidly than ever before in
the history of the county; main
tanning airport facilities at Mea-
cham Field, for the benefit of the
travelling public.
Again, for the benefit of the

Commission To Be
Asked To Give
Money To Band

City Commissioner Louis Car
bonell said today he would ask
the City Commission at its next
meeting to give an appropriation
of 500 or more to the Key West
High School Band which plans to
attend the Gasparilla Day events
at Tampa.
Il understand the band is short
about 5000 in its expenses to
Tampa" said Carbonell. Some
time ago we gave the band $500
to make a trip to the Orange
Bowl at Miami. The band did not
go and turned the money back
to the commission.
ut is my plan to ask the COM
mission at its next meeting to
give the band 500 or more so
they can make the trip. The band
certainly deserves a trip of that
sort, for the band is always on
call when anything of import
ance comes up in the city.

Cable Given Ten Years
In Raiford On Charge
Of MoIesting Child
Judge Caro- GiUes.
Man Stiff Penalty
after CONNECTION

Albert Cable, 48, of Buffalo, N.
Y, who was convicted Tuesday
of molesting an 8-year-old girl,
was sentenced to serve 10 years
in Raiford State Penitentiary by
Judge Thomas S. Caro-, of Grim
inal Court this morning.
Cable made an unsuccessful
plea to Judge Caro- to be sent to
the Satte Insane Asylum or to the
Veterans Bureau hospital.
you were convicted of a seri-
Gus crime" Judge Caro- told him.
i do not believe you can possir
bly, stop what you have been
doing. When a man of your age
molests little girls, as you have
done in the past, you must pay
the penalty.
1T seems to me you can't help
yourself. My only advice to you
is when you go to Raiford that
you work hard, obey the rules
and regulations. ! only hope that
the ten years I'm giving you will
give you a chance to reform"
i appreciate the fair trial had
in your court" said Cable when
asked if he had anything to say
for himself. But in sending me
to Raiford believe you are maxi
ing mistake.
Cant you send me instead to
the State Hospital for the In
sane"
After the Judge denied Cables
request, the man then asked
Judge Caro- to send him to the
hospital maintained by the Vet
Grams Administration.
They have no facilities there
for handling men such as YOU"
Judge Caro- said. Il think you
should go to Raiford, where they
have numerous other men who
were convicted of similar charg-
es."
Among the spectators in Grim
inal Court today was the mother
of the 8-year-old girl, who testi-
fled before a jury on Monday.
The girl said that Cable paid
one cent sales tax when she
bought an ice cream soda in a
Duval street restaurant.
Then l followed him to a va
cant house when he promised to
show me some bunnies," said the
little girl clearly. The house was
at 400 Duval street, which has
been vacant for some time. A
policeman was summoned by two
men who saw the man take the
girl there.

problems. We can almost foresee
the time when we shall look back
on polio epidemicS as a matter of
history, like the bubonic plague
and the more recent devaStations
of smallpox.
Research on these problems is
supported by funds from the
March of Dimes. If might well
speed the day when polio victims
can be free. The enemy, infantile
paralysis, can be licked only by
the united attack of all socially
responsible citizens. Parents and
teachers in particular will recog4

Key. West. Asking Eisner if
there was any waterfront prop
erty available here.
Casa Marina officials had in

JUSTICE COURT WORK
SHOWN BY CHAPMAN

A mock court conducted by
w. V. D. Chapman, justice of the
peace and police court judge in
Laurel, tried J. l.. Keefer on a
charge of speeding, Tuesday, when
the Laurel Rotary club met for it's
regular noon session. The purpose
of the trial being to demonstrate
justice court procedure, the defend
ant entered pleas of both guilty
and not guilty in order that the
judge might show the disposal of
each type of plea.
Before the trial, Chapman read
aloud the preamble to the consti-
tuition of the state of Montana as
well as some passages from the
constitution itself, with the inten-
ton of pointing out some of the
afforded citizens by that in
stEument. He also discussed certain
phases of Montana's early settle
ment in conjunction with this point.
Before the program began,

ments for November. The commit
tee is composed of l.. D. Scribner,
