KEY VESTS
TRAFFIC BOX SCORE

Property Damage $3.50 $35.l0s
Two traffic accidents yesterday
sent the city's total for 1854 over
the number of accidents in the
first quarter of 1858.
This years total now stands at
129 accidentS-and there are still
II days remaining in the first
quarter Of 1854.
Another bleak picture is presen-
ted when the amount of damage
caused in those accidents is con-
sidered-$S5, 4O6. Total damage in
last years accidents was $50, 900,
indicating that Key Westers are
going to be hit harder than ever in
the pocketbOok unless the accident
rate takes a sharp drop.
Some folks are inclined to say
$50 what-it's all covered by in
Surance."
But, these folks don't seem to
realize that the accident rate has
a direct bearing on the cost of
insurance. The higher the accident
rate, the higher the insurance fees.
City officials hope the rate of
about 90 accidents per month can
be cut in half.

Appearance
BY JIM COBB

Key West music lovers turned
out by the hundreds last night for
the first appearance here of Will
liam Primrose, world-famef vio-
list, in the third of a seasons
Community Concert series.
And judging by their applause,
they went away happy after hear
ing a magnificent musical pro-
gram.
Mr.. Primrose offerings ranged
from Beethoven to the modern
compositions of Milhaud and Ben
jamin.
Capacity Audience
The audience, which crammed
every corner of the Convent Audi
forum, brought Mr.. Primrose
back for three encores. Seemingly,
as the size of Community Concet
audiences grows, so does the sta
ture of the performers.
Best received of Mr.. Primrose
offerings was the Milhaud Senate.
The artist performed This compost

set of 18th century French them
es with a huency and delicacy of
phrasing that is seldom equaled.
The pieces ran from delicate folk
airs to haunting hymn-like passag-

spirit of his listeners rose and fell
with the music Mr.. Primrose play
ed.
Earlier, he had skillfully render
ed the Beethoven Notturno, (Sere.

the viola by the composer. Mr..

County May
Get Added
School Funds
Supt. O'Bryant Says
Amendment Offered
May Grant Increase

The Monroe County school Sys-
tenn today had a chance to get
additional Federal funds for new
school construction here.

lars in new entitlements.
Impact Areas
The money is spent for schools
in Federal impact areas - areas
where large Federal operations -
such as the Navy here - throws
an unusual number OF extra pupils
on the schools.
Under sfefold entitlemsnts,. the
additions to lsoinciasa and Tru-
man schools were built.
However, O'Bryant said, ! the
Federal funds were depleted be-
fore more school construction could
be started here.
Still pending under the old en-
titlementS, are additional class
rooms and office space at the high
school and four classrooms at
Douglass School.
New Construction
This new construction amounts
to several hundred thousands of
dollars that the school system here
never received.
If new money is added to the old
entitlements, there is chance
that this construction will be start
ed.
O'Bryant sent the following tele-

Sirugo Tells
Rotariians OF
yProgress
Paul Sher Il Named
To Head Local Club
Succeeding Rogers

Joe Sirugo told Rdarians at the
clubs luncheon meeting yesterday
that it was PRACTICAL! certain that
the Key West-to-Cub, ferry would
be in operation by the end of this
year.
He stated that the corporation
would be organized within the next
10 days. He said that the boat is
ZOE feet long, has a tn foot draft
and will carry 20 cars and 200
passengers. Ferry serice to Cuba
will be on a three-tmes-a-week
schedule. The Cuban terminal will
be at Cardenas, although there is
a possibility of arranging to land
in Havana.
Tentative fares will be less than
$40 each way for passengers and
SIS for cars. The trip to Cuba will
be made in approximately seven

take about five hours.
cIearaness Obtained
He said that all necessary clua-
RANGES had been obtained both

ture.
