City Is Requested
To Repair Flagler
Avenue Damages

The County Commissioners last
night asked the City Commission
to put Flagler Avenue into the
condition they found it.
The street has been torn up for
weeks following the laying of a
new sewer line.
County Commissioner Frank
Bentley told the meeting last night
that the county had spent about
100000 paving Flagler. He said
he thought the city ought to re-
pave the street as it was before
the sewer was laid.
The county commissioners IN
animously passed a resolution ask
ing the city to repair the street.
In another resolution, the coun-
ty commissioners asked the clerk
to write a letter to F. C. Elliott,
of the Internal Improvement
Board, requesting him to keep the

ed by Gerald Saunders, chairman
of the board of county commits
sioners, are the following COM
miSSi0nerS:
Joe Allen, chairman, Frank
Bentley and Clarence S. Higgs.
Sheriff John Spottswood asked
the commissioners to pass res
olution barring carnivals, circuseS
and any type of rides.
Reason Asked
Higgs wanted to know why.
tDo you want to keep kids from
having fun?" Higgs asked with
grin.
Spottswood told him he didn't
want to deny kids any fun as long
rs the fun was wholesome but
that he did want to keep undesir-
able characters out of the county.
Last week the commissioners
passed a resolution barring the
establishment of any new junk
businesses on the island.

of other American students as well
as Cuban students from all
parts of the island who participant
ed in the "comparsas parade. "
High Schools from Tampa and Mia

well.
The local band donned pirate

County Saves
Money On New
Filing System
Adams Sets Up
Improved Files
For Circuit
Court Records

A new system of filing legal CO.
cuments in the office of Circuit
Court Earl Adams which will save
the county an estimated $500 per
year, has been put into effect.
The system, advocated by the
Florida Circuit Court Clerks AS
ISOLATION, and authorized by a re-
cent act of the state legislature,
is now in use in only five other
counties in the state. Adams set
up the machinery for the new sys-
tenn after a trip to Fort Lauder
dale, Broward County seat, to OBJ
serve its operation there,
Storage Problem
The new system offers at least a
partial solution to the thorny pro-
blem of where to store the c0un-
tvs ever growing stack of legal
records. The present vault in Ad-
ans office is overlooking with
court records dating all the way
back in 1923. County officials were
bordering the problem of where to
store records in the future when
Adams proposed that the new sys-
tenn be installed.
Briefly, the system consolidates
about IL different types of legal
records into one volume just half
the size of the old bulky record
books.
Records of all legal instruments
in the past, including mortgage pa
pers, deeds, liens, satiSfactions,
etc., were filed in separate vol
umes measuring about IS x "a in

competing for road funds to main

other large counties and money
