Letter Writing
Is Lost Art,
Scholar SAYS

DETROIT, Mich. - (NC) - The
art of letter writing is a dying one.
according to University of De-
troit Professor John F. Sullivan.
Telephones, radio and TV have
taken over the communications
fields and are snuffing out man S
talent fol writing short, pithy
notes, he said--particularly barbed
ones.
Fayorite examples of the art
which Mr.. Sullivan says will be no
more include the following note
from playwright George Bernard
Shaw to Winston Churchill:
Herewith are two tickets for
the opening of my new play; one
for you and one for friend Of
yours-if any"
And Mr. Churchilrs reply:
"A previous engagement pre-.

Auto Inspection Fee
Reduced To so Cents

: The city commission re-
duced the fee last night for
auto inspections to 50 cents.
City Commissioner Jack
Delaney made the notion.
asking that the fee be cut
from $3.50 to rs cents.
But city commissioner
Louis Carbonell asked De-
laney to re-word his motion,
to so cents. Delaney did. &
Two Opposed
City Commissioner Delio Cobo
joined them in voting for the drop,
but Commissioner Paul r. Roberts
and Mayor C. B. Harvey opposed
the reduction.
"What tax are you going to raise
to make up for the loss in revenue?l
asked the Mayor. "The property
owner is going to be socked a.
gain"
But CarboneIl pointed out that
the Florida supreme court has rul-
ed it illegal for municipalities TO
make a profit on auto inspections.
It was brought out during the dis
cussion that the city has made
500, 900 in the past five years on
auto inspections. The $50 proce-
dure costs the city 20 cents, they
said.
Suit Basis
He added that it would not have
been necessary to settle 81, 500
suit brought against the city If the
city had not been charging the
81. so fee.
The suit had been brought by q
local man who was injured at the
inspection station.
Carbonell explained that If the
city mad operated the inspections on
non-profit basis, it would have
been considered governmental"
function and the city would not
have been liable for damages.
But the fact that the city made
profit, resulted in the inspections
being classed as a "proprietory"
function and the city had no inn
munity from suit.
The city settled the suit last
night for 1890.

Civil Service
Rules Being
Prepared Here
City Commission
Deplorcs Action OF
Department Heads

A new set of civil service
regulations for city employ
ees are being prepared by
Robert Valdez, a member of
the city civil service board,
the city commission was told
last night.
Victor Lowe, executive secretary
OF the civil service board passed
that information on to the commits
sioners during discussion of civil
service practices here.
Practice DepIored
City Commissioner Louis Car
bonell said that he had learned Of
a practice of some city depart
ment heads keeping workers on the
payroll but failing to recommend
them for probationary appointment.
Carbonell deplored that action,
saying that it takes away the in
centive to do good job for the
city.
"If they are good enough to work
for the city q year or more, they
ought to be hired on a permanent
basis" said Carbonell.
He said that he knew of city
workers who have been employed
for more than a year but are still
classed as temporary workers and
have no civil service protection.
Probation Period
Lowe said that the Law holds that
after six-month probationary per
iod workers automatically become
permanent employees.
But it was brought out during the
discussion that department heads
are responsible for putting en-
ployees on the permanent list =
and that they don't always do that.
Lowe then said that Valdez has
been working on the new rules
for more than a year and that they
viii be finished shortly.

City May Claim
For Its Offices

The possibility that city admin
istrative offices may be moved to
the building on Whitehead St. now
occupied by the USO-YMCA, was
advanced last night at the meeting
of the city commission.
When the commission was ask
ed to approve a three year lease
for the USO, commissioner Delio
Cobo commented that II was "a
good chance for the city to nego-
tiate for possession Of the building. y
It was purchased four years ago
for use as a city hall and later
leased to the USO.
Commissioners Louis CarboneIi
suggested that the US0 be given
the present city hal after Commits
sioner Jack Delaney had pointed
out that tsit IS very necessary that
the city provide adequate recrea-
ton for servicemen."
The commission then voted to
meet shortly with the board Of di-
rectors of the US0 to discuss the
problem.

The city commission a.
greed tentatively to enter
into an agreement with a
Miami bond brokerage COM
pany to refund the city's
100000 bond issue, but re-
fused to go along with an

ing of possible municipal
improvements for the next
three years.
The firm. the Atwell Co.. has
told the commission that they can
save ct least one per cent on the
4.5 Interest rate the. city is now

ed, however, that they would be

Copies Asked
Then, Commissioner Jack Della,
ney asked that copies Of the do.
cument be furnished to each com.

in which to act, since the recall
date Of the bonds falls in March
Cost of refunding the bonds has
been set by the Atwell Co.. at $1s,,
600.
Mayor C. B. Harvey asked tha,
this fee, along with $27, 900 per
MUM which must be paid to the

Acting on the recommen-
dation Of their attorney, M.
Ignatius Lester, the city ap-
proved the settlement to
avoid going to court to try
the cases.
The largest settlement, $1,000,
went to Joseph L. Menendez, who
had sued the city for $42,500, al
leging that he had suffered a
permanent injury to his right eye
in an accident Sept. 10, 1852,
while his car was being inspected
by the city.
Attorneys Fee
The commission voted to pay
Porter $500 for his part in the
negotiations. Former City Attor-
ney M. Ignatuis Lester represent
ed the city also.

Noise and Ernest r. Mansfield,
asked damages of $135, 900 as the
result of injuries allegedly in
Cured when Mrs. Mansfield fell
on Francis Street, Feb. ~, 1851.
An earlier trial Of the suit re-
suited in a mistrial when the jury
could not agree on the amount Of
damages to be awarded. Mrs.
Mansfield has since died.
Attorney Porter said that in
both cases, interests the city
we've served. He poin 4 out that
the c5st Of going to rial would
outweigh any possible advantage.
