Coral Gables Will Stage Own "Aluminum Contribution Week"

SUMMER MODELING CLASSES WILL BE CONDUCTED HERE

Now that the "polio" scare is over, the Coral Gables Art Center WPA staff has received requests from Miss Abigail Gilday, principal of the Coral Gables Elementary School, city officials and Coral Gables residents for a continuation of clay modeling classes to be conducted throughout the summer months at the Art Center. Twenty-one students, from ten to fourteen years old, have already registered for the classes, now being supervised by Mrs. Mayme McAdams of the Art Center staff. "As a means of recreational occupation, and in this way keeping the children off the streets, clay modeling at the free art classes will undoubtedly be a boon to mothers who annually worry during school vacation period as to the whereabouts and possible mischief, of their offspring," Mrs. McAdams said. The classes are being conducted at the Coral Gables Art Center, 1202 Salzedo Street, every Tuesday and Thursday from 10 A. M. to 12 noon. While the tuition is free each student will supply own materials, which will amount to about 25 cents apiece as the materials are used over and over again throughout the class periods. The adult clay modeling classes conducted at the Coral Gables Art Center, under the supervision of Lampet Bemmelmans, are turning out some creative work which is now being displayed at the Art Center. These classes meet every Tuesday at 7:30 P. M. Both projects are a part of the community service program of the Florida Art Project WPA.

Bridge Fund Record Set

Tallahassee, July 3 - The largest cash balance in several years in the credit of Florida's 67 counties for road and bridge debt service was in the hands of the Board of Administration at the end of June, it was made known here today. The cash on hand, totaling $10,671,561, represents the balances of many counties not needed for current debt payments, and, in some cases, surpluses that may never be needed. Money accumulated in the fund will be transferred to the credit of counties needing financial aid to meet emergency deficits on a loan basis under terms of Florida's two cent gasoline tax division law.

WOMAN'S ASSOCIATION HEAD RECEIVES MASTER'S DEGREE

Mr. and Mrs. Charles will leave tomorrow for an extended vacation. They will spend some time in Mt. Eagle, Tenn., then go to their former home in Ohio. There they will bid farewell to their sister, Miss Bertha Charles, who will return to her work as missionary in the Philippines. In Washington, D. C., they will visit their son, Phillip, and return home some time in September.

Hopkins Raps Water Deal

(Continued from Page 1) should be deducted depreciation, in order to arrive at present net worth," Mr. Hopkins continues. Figuring 30 per cent depreciation, this computation would fix the present value at about $600,000. But, Hopkins points out, it would not be unreasonable to cut this figure in half because there would be employed in the relaying new and more efficient methods than are now in operation. "If we sit tight," Hopkins declares, "we will get this company at our own price." Hopkins denies that a saving in water rates or a realization of any profit from the system will come "for years and years." In conclusion, Hopkins declares that the new (present) City Commission has had nothing to do with this deal and urges a vote "against bonds" so as to "automatically terminate the City's agreement with Nate T. Wagner, and continue as at present, under our franchise."

Garris Okays Water Purchase

(Continued from Page 1) a lower water rate can be effected. "With this water distribution system owned by the City of Coral Gables, the present basis for hydrant rental, as contained in the present four-party contract, would be eliminated, which factor would be highly beneficial to the City of Coral Gables from a financial standpoint," Mr. Garris' report states.

Lee Asks Speed In Payment of New Retail Taxes

With the new retail license and inventory tax due as of July 1, State Comptroller J. M. Lee, charged with its collection, today urged retailers to make their sworn returns and send remittances to him in Tallahassee immediately to avoid penalties and help reduce the state's cost of collection. He also called attention to the fact that gross receipt taxes for May and previous months must be paid immediately if not already paid. In a prepared statement, he points out: "Chapter 20689, Laws of Florida, Acts of 1941 (Senate Bill 86) repealed Subdivision E, Section 4 of Chapter 16848, Acts of 1935, relating to Gross Receipts Taxes. However the Act provides: 'Nothing contained in this repeal Act shall be interpreted or effect or to excuse or relieve any person from the payment of Gross Receipts Taxes imposed under said Chapter 16848, where shall have accrued prior to July 1, 1941.' "It is, therefore, necessary that a return reporting Gross Receipts in full up to and including the month of May, 1941 (including all previous months that may be delinquent), be filed and payment made at once. Please do this now and save additional cost for yourself and the State." "Chapter 20977, Acts of 1941 (House Bill 308) repealed all the remaining sections of Chapter 16848, Acts of 1935, relating to Permits and Annual Graduated License Taxes, and in lieu thereof imposed an Annual Graduated License Tax and a separate additional Annual Inventory Tax upon Independent and Chain Stores." Reports and returns under the new inventory tax law are to be "filled out in detail," Comptroller Lee reminds taxpayers.

Cool Weather Made These Gableites Stay

Because they found the weather so delightful here, Mr. and Mrs. David Walsh, winter residents from East Orange, N. J., have remained on at The Venetia indefinitely. The Walshes spent many winters at the old San Sebastian Hotel, and always went north in former years. Also returning to The Venetia are Mr. and Mrs. Robert Chilton of Boston, who were away only two weeks in the uncomfortable and hot north. The Chiltons have spent the past two seasons at The Venetia. William T. Sholtz and A. J. Spindly are residents at The Venetia during the building of their new home at the corner of Avenue Castille and Cordova Street. Mr. Scholtz and Mr. Spindly, collectors and walking enthusiasts, formerly owned the attractive home now occupied by the James J. Schnoits at 2601 De Soto Boulevard. The only time the C. W. Kittlemans are cool this summer was during the time spent on the air-conditioned train enroute to and from Ohio and Indiana, where they visited for two weeks. They are permanent residents at The Venetia. Miss Catherina Murray is another winter Venetian resident who preferred the cool apartment to traveling in the north this summer.

July 21st Date Set For Drive

Mayor Joe Whitley today proclaimed the week beginning Monday, July 21st, as Coral Gables Aluminum Week, and urged Gables housewives to comb from kitchen to attic in order to help swell the city's contribution to the nation-wide campaign. "This one-week effort, if we get the whole-hearted co-operation of every one in the Gables, will play a very important role in the National Defense Program. There is a definite need for aluminum to help build up our air force and make it the strongest in the world," Mayor Whitley declared in his proclamation. Gableites are asked to contribute every piece of aluminum they possibly can spare during this one-week campaign and the Mayor has designated the five-ton truck standing on the west side of the Coral Gables American Legion Building, Alhambra Circle and Salzedo Street, as the depository. Miami, which has been conducting an aluminum drive for the past three weeks, is far ahead of its quota and local residents are asked to "give all they can possibly spare" in order to keep in pace with the sister city. The aluminum is turned over to national defense industries to be converted into airplane parts and other defense items.
