his wife had been taking sedatives

BE SURE TO REGISTER IF
YOU WORK ON MIAMI BEACH
By ELLIOTT J PIEZE

Although it has been a law on
the books of the city for some
time, the regulation in Miami
Beach, requiring all persons en-
ployed as domestics or in num-
ber of other service jobs to reg
ister with its police department,
had not been rigidly enforced
until this week. Buses, Jltneys
and other modes of transporta-
ton used by employees on the
Beach, were stopped enroute dur
ing this week and the passengers
therein were all asked to show
their registration cards. Those
who did not have them were ar
rested and later forced to pay
small fines for failure to have the
cards.
This is a requirement of do
mestics and other service en-
ployees, that applies to Miami
Beach only. All persons who work
on the Beach are hereby advised
to be sure to register at the po-
lice headquarters, if they have
not already done so. It's the law
on the Beach, and if you want to
avoid further trouble and un-
necessary spending of money, be
sure to register at once. It costs
$1.OO to register, the cards are
issued by the Identification Bu-
reau on the second floor Of the
police headquarters, the cards are
good for one year, and each year
employees are required to renew
their registration.
According to the Miami Beach
police department, the registra-
ton is required in order that it
may know who is working on the
Beach, where he is working,
where he lives, and other peril
nent information on persons who
are employed in that city. Again
everyone who is working on the
Beach, and who has not already
done so, is advised to register at
