ing through unfortunately and
cleaning up private property. They
should be congratulated for their
zeal, but il is the responsibility Of
the individual owners to maintain
their plots.
And it apparently required a let
ter to the Editor of The Citizen
to prod the city into putting pris-
oners to work in the cemetery.
Why haven't they been pressed into
service there in the past? Why
do we pay workmen when We can
use prisoners?
Perhaps, since the city commits
sion is in the mood of late to ap-
point committees, they should
name a panel Of morticians to act
as overseers for the cemetery.
It's a mess.

During the session of the Florida
Legislature two years ago, there
was a bill passed which allows the
City of Key West to spend SIC, 900
each year of its share of the Gig
arctic tax funds for maintenance
and Identification Of the city ceme-
terry for the next five years. That
means that the city will have a to-
tai of $50, 600 - an amount which
should allow them to transform the
burial grounds into q real garden
spot.
The legislature met two years
ago which means that we have
had $2o,0 900 to play around with.
What has been done with that
money?
Go take a look at the cemetery
and you'll wonder, too.
The intent Of the bill was to pro-
vide money for the Identification
and maintenance of the cemetery
a program of capital improvement.
Plans were to fence in the ceme-
terry and provide attractive ave.
nues throughout 1t.
But what is the city doing with
the money? They are paying the
salaries of cleanup men. There are
presently four men raid out of the
cigarette fund. ALI that has been
spent on capital improvements, as
intended when the bill was intro
duced, was to build a wire fence
halfway around the cemetery and
to construct a couple Of paths.
Local funeral directors complain
that the city is. just not following
through with the cemetery pro-
gram.
If we aren't careful, the entire
$50, 900 will be spent and Wen
have nothing to show for it. Those
who have studied the problem say
that it is all right to use the money
for maintenance and cleanup work

SALT LAKE CITY IA rush
which at times has brought men,
cries Of the California gold rush Of
a hundred years ago has scattered
uranium claims across Utah and
other Western states.
It has been marked by feverish
searching fer the A-bomb metal,
with a modern Geiger counter re-
placing the old-time pan; by q
surge Of stock sales that took an
estimated IA million dollars from
hopeful get-rich-quick spectators.
The fever largely. Is gone but
the boom continues.
And Milton H. Love, director OF
the State Securities Commission,
says he is confident that . perma-
nent, well-established uranium in
dustry will result.
Love provides the estimate Of
IA million dollars in stock sales.
He predicts that 20 per cent-one
in fiye-of the companies which
have sold stock will prove profit
able. But he emphasizes that it Is
still too early to speculate on their
probable profit, with most still en-
gagged in exploration and develop
ment work only.
There have been two phases to
the uranium boom in Utah.
The first was the rush of pros
pectors-many of them amateurs
to the barren hills and valleys,
principally in southeastern Utah.
The second was the marketing
of stock by new companies formed
to enter the uranium field.
There are no accurate figures
as to the number of prospectors.
The Atomic Energy Commission
says the peak came in the spring
and early summer when literally
thousands tramped the area In
search of strike.
Interest has waned somewhat
but the Acc exploration office here
says ii still is receiving up to 800
inquiries a month from persons
wanting to try their hand at pros
pecting.
What are their chances of hit
ting? There is no sure answer.
One Acc official said, maybe one
in a thousand"
Lure for the prospectors is q
SIC, 900 bonus offer. The Acc says
it will pay that amount to anyone
discovering and developing a mine
producing 20 tons Of ore Of 20 per
cent uranium content.
So far no one has earned that
bonus.
But the Acc, which at present
is the only legal purchaser Of
uranium ore. says that ore Of as
little as two tenths Of I per cent

NoRTON'S DEATH REMINDFUL OF KEY
VESTS HURRICANE AUTHORITY

It was just like news reports said - the people of
South Florida were shocked when they heard of the
death of Grady Norton chief of the Weather Bureau in
Miami. He expert in tracking hurricanes and he
knew as much about them as few other experts who
have devoted their adult years to the study of hurricanes
His death reminded good many Key Westers of
their great hurricane authority Harry c. Boyer of many
years ago. He did have the facilities such as Norton
had 80 radio, radar and airplane hurricane riders He
depended chiefly in forecasng the probable of
hurricane, the barometer, the direction in which
hurricane moving and its relation, when neared
this area, to the direction from which the wind blew in
Key West.
The only way he had Of knowing anything about
PARKWAY hurricane was when ships captain who had
passed through it. reported it's location when he
entered port, when cablegram received from
a country that had been dashed by hurricane.
But he cautious, when he learned about the To-
cation of hurricane and the direction in which it
moving, in making any statement about its further
ment. He would state that if hurricane maintained its
present movement would strike such and such place.
but always stressed the fact that nobody could tell with
certainty what way hurricane would CO. He explained
that hurricanes had been known to make complete loop
that is and till they in the direction from
which they had come.
Two days before the 1919 hurricane struck Key
West he announced in The Citizen that if continued
to the way going, Key West would be in its
path. And it turned out to be- He right in many
other cases. though he always used that cautious phrase
eff the hurricane maintains its present course
When hurricane reported in this area, the quss
ton Key Westers generally asked was What does Mr.
Boyer say?" Mr. Boyer the father of Mrs. Bascom
L. Grooms. 81

Norton were who says nothing definite about what hur

The center of hurricane has passed over Key
West since the Weather Bureau has been charge the
station in Key West dating back to 1871. But in 1870
when the Army Signal Corps charge the bureau
here, the center of 99mile-anhour hurricane passed

uranium can return the producer
a profit. Payment for the ore is
based on the uranium content.
The stock sale surge came in
early summer. Brokerage offices
at times had to lock their doors
to control the flood Of prospective
customers. Stock issues often were
oversubscribed before certificates
were issued. Sales doomed to as
high as three to five million
shares per day.
Now brokers say volume is a
third to a half the average Of the
early summer boom. Purchasers
are asking for information on a
company's prospects before they
buy.
Much Of the buying now is by
mail, particularly from residents
living in the East and Southwest.

ing US so, and start telling us
how.
We want them to read from
the act, just what is there that

cry; as well as read from the
old Or present Organic Act
just what is not in the new or

ting US back forty years.
We are quite tired of this
way of stirring up emotion,
and the intelligent have lost
confidence in their representa-
tives, SO give US the facts, and
let us judge for ourselves
which act we prefer.
No one has attempted to
read from the act as yet, and
I know there are many like

do not allow them to waste
their time again, but appear
