Bill Slated To Permit Amother Dog Track
Local Interests To
Ask Legislature
To End Distance
Rule For Track

The possibility that Mon
roe County will have an
other dog track doomed to-
day with an announcement
by Hilario Ramos, local
wholesale liquor dealer,
that he will ask for pas
sage of a special bill in the
April session of the State
Legislature making it pos
sible for another track to
be constructed.
Ramos, this morning declined
to elaborate on plans for the new
racing plant, except to say that
it would be 100 percent locally
financed"
Although they do not have a
site as yet, Ramos added that the
track would undoubtedly be close
to the Monroe-Dade County line.
He limited the possible construc-
ton of luxury hotel in conjunc-
ton with the track, as well.
However. II will be neess-
ssrY to have HE special lesis-
lsfion passed since present laws
now state that there can be no
dog track closer than 100 miles
70 an existing racing plant.
In addition, the sketchy infor-
nation included in the local bill
in today's Citizen states that
permits may be issued for sum-
mer racing periods in Monroe
County" Hence, the new opera.
ton apparently would not be in
competition with the pre-
sent track which is a winter
operates only for 80 days during
the winter season. The new rae
ing dates would be between June
1st and September 30th.
The bill also asks that permits
be given without regard to the
distance the track of the appli-
cant will be from the track Of
any existing applicant.
Ramos emphasized that the
new track would be patronized
largely by Miamians.

just as many times the market
has risen to go through the same
process all over again.

A. Yes there is. Ordinary baking soda
is magic in removing sticky paw marks
from painted woodwork. Baking soda
is non-abrasive so il can't mar the
finish. JUST sprinkle little soda on
damp sponge and rub over the spot,
rinse and dry, - presto, the dirt
vanishes! For larger areas, solution
of baking soda and warm water - ;
tablespoons soda TO one quart water
will do the trick.
