Present Russians Effectively

temporary composers; the cool
brilliance. the satiric sentimen-
tality, the unending technical
resource and the tingle and
shock Of Stravinsky; and the
lush and naive exposures of the
tormented Tchaikovsky.
Petrouchka is the first full
Towering of a kind of music that
Is so much better than any of its
limitations that every time you
hear it you are convinced 1t Is
something unique. The mad
gaiety of it, the wild mechanical
rhythm, the constant caricature
Of a tune, are all combined in
flood from every part Of the or
chestra of the most scintillating
sounds that were ever concocted
in the head of a modern COM
poser.
Strauss, in the don Quixote
Variations" that we heard last
week, is another great master OF
orchestral effect, but his effects
seem grated on a conventional
expanse Of run-of the mill
music, in comparison to Stravin-
sky's score, which Is as unified
a work of art as Steinberg's nude
drawn on the porcelain of a
bathtub.
All that you mean when you
speak of the virtuosity Of the
Philadelphia Orchestra you could

Ormandy and his men. It was
perfect.
When you buy the Tchaikov-
sky fifth symphony from the
Philadelphia Orchestra, you cer-
tainly get it done UP In high
class gift-wrapping. The odd
fascination of this great work
will doubtless live forever. The
neurotic self-recrimination OF
the sick composer is expressed
with the directness and popular
appeal of Sousa march. It is

June 8, at the school library. =
Miss May says she has always
loved working with youngsters, and
as a child she was undecided
whether to be a teacher or a
nurse"
She says, too, 81 probably would
not be retiring now if l didn't have
to. l really felt more like retiring
Is years ago than do today"
Native Daughter
Miss Mays father, the late
Joseph F. Sands, was a native
Key Wester. The family originally
came to Key West from the Ba.
hamas. Her mother was born in
the Bahamas, but was brought to
Key West at the age of eight.
Miss May was born at 800 william
Street. She now lives with her
sister, Mrs. Virgil Lowe on North
Beach Road.
She started her education at the
old "Sears School," the towns pub
lie school. The school was housed
in three story frame building To-
Gated on lane just off Simonton
Street, almost across from the
Key West Drug Store.
Later she attended Ruth Har-
grove Institute, Methodist paro-
chial school, where she received
her high school education. The
building is now used by the high
school for girls gymnasium and
manual training department.
1t was after she graduated from
Hargrove Institute that she was
talking to friends and was pur-
suaded to take the teachers exa-
mination.
Passed Examination
"In those days, you didn't have
to have a degree" Miss May says,
eff you could pass the examina-
ton you could be recommended
for a teaching position"
Her first assignment was as
first grade teacher at Harris
School. After her first year, Miss
May went to summer school in

proposal to request bids for city

He said that it has been con-
Quoted in the past by anyone the
police decided to call on to tow
cars away.
Carbonell added that by getting
competitive bids on the towing ser
vice, the people whose cars are
towed away may get better deal
on the charges.
He said that he wanted it made
clear that under his proposal only
wrecker services licensed in the
city would be allowed to bid on city
contract as he is proposing it.

Abolition OF
FeePayment
ToCops Asked
yity Judge Urges
Replacing Fees.
With Pay Raise

City Judge Enrique Esquinaldo
said today that he is recommend
ing to the city manager that court
fee payment to police officers be
abolished and be replaced with an
equivalent raise.
Police officers receive a fee of
81 for appearing in court to testify
against court cases. The two dol.
lars comes from the IS court cost
fee charged to guilty persons. The
officer does not get fee when the
convicted violators decide to spend
time in jail rather than pay the
fine.
Esquinaldo said that since the
officers rotated on their shifts, he
saw no need to give one shift more
than another shift.
Police officers on duty when the
court is in session who testify in
court do not presently receive a
fee.
$500 Annual Payment
A check in. the city finance di-
rector's office indicates that about
$500 dollars a year is received
by police officers. The average
comes out to about $13 a month
per policeman.
When the judge was asked what
would happen if the police officers
did not show up in court with the
proposed new system, he said that
it would probably be grounds for
their suspension by the chief of DO
lice.
It was pointed out the recon.
mendation is only a substitution
for court fees and not to be con.
fused with any future police de-
partment raise under the new bud

County Assessor &:aiai1s Firm
On Closing Tax Roll To City
City Is Faced
With Setting
UpOwnOffice
BY JIM COBB

SCISSOR Claude Gandolfo
stood firm today on his de-
cision to refuse to allow the
city to make further use of
his office in the court house.
AS a result, the city now
faces the possibility of MAX
ing an expenditure estimat-
ed at upwards of $4,000 to
set up their own tax assess
ors office.
And apparently the city viii also
have to begin looking for a new
tax assessor after Sam Pinder, Jr.,
announced that he is resigning be-
cause of criticism of the tax rolls.
Criticism Voiced
The situation arose when city
commissioners issued statements
criticizing the operation of the tax
office. The city has shared the
county office for nine years as a
means of simplifying the assess
ment of real estate and personal
property taxes.
It has been the policy for the
city to duplicate the county tax
roll. Only expense to the city is
the salary of one tax office en-
ployee and half of the salary of
another.
but their free ride is over
now, said Gandolfo today, 'fiet
them set up their own office"
"We didn't ask for this situation
- they did," he added. 1--WE have
gotten along fine with every city
administration but this one"
No Gratitude
He added that his office 'has
all the headaches without any
thanks from the CITY," Gandolfo
also pointed out that it was only
courtesy" on the part of the coun-
ty to allow the city to use his Of
flee, they are not required to do
so.
Gandolfo said that the city viii
now have to spend several thou
sands of dollars for office equip
ment to prepare tax books and
make entries in them and. to mail
out tax bills. In addition they will
have to duplicate stacks of re-
cords, pay salaries and buy sup
plies.
The office now has six perman-
ent employees and several who
were hired on a temporary basis.
I Task For City
The city will have to prepare an
entire set of tax records, GandOlfo
said. He estimated that it would
require four years for that task
alone.
He based that estimate on the
fact that it took him and an aide
two years to complete the task
when he took office in 1941. Since
then, the city has almost doubled
in size, he said. Each piece of pro-
perry including buildings or other
improvements win have to be
checked personally by the tax as
SCISSOR, he continued.
City Manager Victor Lang, when
asked to comment on the situation
today, said: 81 don't know what is
going to be done - this comes as
a surprise to me-"
Budget Adjustments
Lang added that if the city Is
