What's the most important telephone call you ever

recall offhand, for telephone service does so much
in single day. and fits so easily into the pattern
of life, that you're likely to take it for granted.
But whether it means a crop saved or piece of
equipment obtained in hours instead of days. or
long trip into town avoided, the telephone is an

+Carbonell Will

OF Shipping Co.

Commissioner Louis Carbonell
told the city commission last night
Of the receipt of a letter from a
New York attorney, written in be-
half of a shipping firm in that
city.
The letter requested informa-
ton regarding terms of a lease
which could be acquired by a
steamship line coming to Key
West, together with conditions to
be met by the company.
The letter, written by Benjamin
H. whitestone, of Whitestone, Tep-
per and Harros, was read to the
commission.
It was decided that Carbonell
should answer the letter, asking
the attorney for more information
regarding the company and its
plans if it should decide to begin
operations here.

Of
Leaks I'm New
Sewers Asked

Engineers of the Key West
Sewerage Improvement
Company are to be asked to
meet with the city commits
sioners and city manager to
explain why a sewer line
which has been in operation
less than a year should have
18 leaks already.
The decision to call for such a
meeting was made by the commits
sioners last night when a storm of
protest arose following a request
from the company for a reduction
in the amount which the city with
holds from its payments to the
company.
Contract Provision
The contract permits the city to
withhold 10 per cent of payment
to the company to meet contingent
cies or penalties which may be i'm
posed under the contract. The re-
quest for reduction was made in
letter signed by Norman A. D.
Cruger, resident engineer for the
company.
Cruger's letter, which was read
by city clerk Victor Lowe asked
that the amount withheld be re-
duced to two per cent, as the COM
pany felt that the continuance of
Withholding the 10 per cent work
ed AN unnecessary hardship"
The request was refused by IN
animous vote of the commission
ers present, Jack Delaney, Delio
Cobo and Louis Carbonell.

i Carbonen asserted that he had
studied the low-bid meter, taking
it apart and inspecting it thorough
ly, and that it is mo good"
Meter Described
City Manager Victor Lang gave
run down on this meter, dis
closing that it has 239 moving
parts, as against less than so in
some of the other meters. There
are Is springs in it, he said,
whereas some others have as few
as five.
Lang feels that such items are
of particular concern here where
rust is a greater problem than in
some other locales. Lang said also
that while the company mixing the
low bid supplies number of other
Florida towns with meters, the
particular meter offered, to Key
West is not in use elsewhere in
Florida. The company makes four
types of meters, he said.
Another unsatisfactory feature of
the low-bid meter is the fact that
the clock is not sealed to keep out
dirt and dust, and the meter must
be wound by hand at least once a
week to keep it in operation.
Trial Offered
After the commission had voted
to throw out all bids, and issue a
later call for new bids with more
exacting specifications, a represen-
tative of Micrometer parking me-.
ter company made the gyoup an
offer which was accepted.
Micrometer company, a Miami
concern which supplies meters to
Coral Gables as well as othei. cities,
will install so of its meters in
places to be designated by the city
for a 90-day trial period. The me-
ter in question has inner workings
of bronze and stainless steel.
The only expense to the city for
this trial viii be the erection of
the posts at s. each, which can
be used later for any other type
meter if the Micrometer device is
not wanted.
The company attached no strings
to its trial offer.
The commission voted to accept
the trial offer, which will provide
the city with so meters for use
pending the call and opening of
new bids.

Fire Dept. Needs
Are Discussed;
No Action Taken

The need for more firemen was
discussed by the city commission
last night, but no action was taken.
The city budget can not be stretch
ed to provide added personnel,
City Manager Lang pointed out.
The matter was brought up in
connection with a fire which gut
ted the Tropical Cigar Factory
Sunday night. At the time of the
fire, all men on duty at No. l sta
ton were needed on the truck, so
there was no one on duty at the
station.
Fire Chief Charles Cremata in
formed the commission that since
personnel has had to be split to
provide three shifts, and also to
provide a night shift at Poinciana
Station, it is impossible to keep
more men on duty. Department
members who are on a standby
status are now being used regu-
larly to fill in while other mem
bers are on vacation.
In connection with the fire de-
partment, renovation at No. sta
ton was discussed. Cremata told
the commission that he has pre-
sented the matter to the men who
serve there, and is awaiting their
decision as to what is most need
ed at this time.
Various aspects of the renova-
ton was brought up, and sugges-
tons were made. The department
has been allotted $4,000 in the city
budget for this project.
