z Youths Picked Up
On Street Searched,
Gun, Knife Found

Two youths who resented close
scrutiny by a pair of off-duty
policemen were locked up early
today because they were too
voluble in their resentment.
The policemen, whose names
were not listed on the official
report. spotted the 17-year-old
colored boys standing at
Eighteenth street and Massa-
chusettS aveneue NV. Because
of the early hour, the police
men peered at them intently.
What are you looking at?"
one of them demanded, adding
several obscenities.
They found a .22-caliber pis-
tol in a pocket of one and an
open knife in a pocket of the
other. The policemen called
juvenile squad members, who
prepared juvenile papers charg-
ing each youth with carrying
concealed weapons.

All 5 Members
Agree At Meet

A strong resolution oppos-
ing the extension of the
Everglades national park up
into the northern section of
Monroe county was unani-
mously passed by Monroe
Coun ty Commission last
night.
Though Chairman Gerald
Saunders and Commissioner
Joe Allen We're absent with

their vote by phone prior to
the meeting.
The resolution will be forwarded
to the y. S. Secretary of the In

Park Service, Florida members of
the Senate and House of Repre-
sentativeS, and the Director of the
Nation Park Service.

Axelson later told The Citizen In
an interview that under the Parks
establishment act of 1884, it was
authorized to expand northward
into 225, 900 more acres of Monroe
county that it has at present.
The Park Service has made no
move since June 1851, he said,

time fhe internal Improvement
Fund trustees agreed to the ex-
psnsion. No action was taken.
however.
The Monroe County Tax Collec-
tor and Assessor both said last
week that condemnation of more
acreage by the Park Service would
preclude any reduction of Monroe
county taxes and might even lead
to their being raised.
That the amount OF taxes paid
on the Monroe County land north
Of the Park is not considerable
was admitted by Axelson. Taxes
vary from five cents an acre up
TO l3 70 IS cents, he said. He
pays only $500 . year taxes on
his 1900 acre parcel. His father
in-isw who owns 5000 acres Of
Monroe County mainland pays
about $1,000 year he said.
Last night County Clerk Earl

that he had received five lengthy
