If a customer has mice in his home, the store will lend him a cat to catch them. Alex had always dreamed of being a songwriter.

When he got out of the Army after the war, he decided to give it a try. He went to one Tin Pan alley publisher and told him he had written a song about the "New Look." "What do you want me to do bout it?" said the crusty publisher. A LEX went to another publisher. 1 He announced he had written a song about Bobo and Winthrop Rockefeller called Cinderella Wears the Shoe." "Oh. you did?" snapped the hard heart.

The ciCy commission agreed Tuesday night to exempt from taxation all property partment along the route of the proposed superhighway when the question was put before the board by Tax Assessor Wentworth. cord firm. The major opus he is pushing at present is called "An and You." It is a tuneful little ditty about a housewife phoning her husband to bring home an onion. "I got the idea from working In the grocery store," said Alex. "The one thing wives always forget to order is onions." He hired a band and a vocalist to record the song.

Then he persuaded half a dozen neighborhood ginmills to put the record in their jukeboxes. He also employed a man named Frank to carry a sandwich board plugging "An Xjnicm and You" along Tin Pan alley just to let the regular publishers know what they were missing. "Recently the president of a vegetarian society bought 50 sheet music copies of the song from Frank," said Alex. BECAUSE his advertising budget is low. Alex had to think up an inexpensive way to alert the public.

"I get up at six a. he said, fcmd put a box of chalk in my pocket. I go around and chalk up the sign. "An Onion and You." in the crowded business and shopping areas of the city. Sometimes I sell a friend on the idea of helping me.

He has a tie-in deal with his dad. Customers who buv a 50-cent Center fof the controversial amendment to exempt the canning and con- centrating industry from the regulatory provisions of declaring the quality of processed products. other amendments designed to meet the bill lie ahead. Pending a seven-man tax hunt committee's report on a proposed combination revenue program, fate of the citrus code bill held the legislative spotlight.

Arguments on the bill so far have hinged around the amendment to leave canners out of regulations. The debate followed the general pattern of the discussions in the senate where the bill was passed. Opponents to grade and quality regulations for canners say Florida is the only state seeking such a law and it means trying to tell an industry how to run its business. Proponents say the amendment strikes at the heart of the bill. that quality regulations will as sure good canned juices.

TASTE TEST Governor Warren's bill embodies his campaign promise to stop green fruit shipments from Florida and provide a "taste test" to determine when it is ripe. It also would bring the canning and concentrate Industry under state regulation for the first time. Arguments on the bill took a new track Wednesday when Representative Phillits of Hernando suggested west Florida representatives "take a walk" when voting time comes on the bill. He spoke against the amendment. He told the lawmakers from that region they didn't know the difference between an orange and a grapefruit and didn't understand what the bill would do.

VOTE TRADING Representatives Hudson of Washington and Summers of Liberty promptly told him they favored the amendment. Sum. mers told him he had "insulted the intelligence" of the men from west Florida. Since the opening of the session, there have been reports that voting trades have been made by opponents of the bill with representatives from smaller countiei on such issues as cattle fencing. Many of these small counties are in west Florida.

Meeting at night for the first time this session the senate completed legislative action on a bill to abolish the closed season on salt water trout. Sponsors of the bill said they hoped to have the measure approved by the governor before the closed season of May 20 to June 20 becomes effective Friday. Dania Chamber Primary Held DANIA.

"It is our opinion that the schedule of charges now in effect is exhorbitant and unnecessarilv high and should be reduced atJ least percent.

However, the city is now entering that period of the year when water consumption is at its lowest point and collections for the remaining five months of this fiscal year would not warrant such a the officials reported.

Van Ingen Company, at a price of 101 and accrued interest on September 7. 1948, were actually sold at a price of 97 and accrued interest, a difference of four points or $8,000, resulting in the city having received $8,000 less from the sale of these certificates. In commenting on the report Mayor Boggs asserted, "those bonds were sold over this table at 101 and in the back room were sold at "It is my opinion that the wa ter department will be able to meet all operating expenses and other fixed charges for the remainder of this fiscal year in the absence of any emergency calling for unusual Cle neay stated.

It should be the policy of the city in its next fiscal year to transfer these deposits water meter deposits to a trust fund and to build up a working cash balance in the utility fund which will be carried over at the end of the year of at least $25,000." In stating that it is his under standing that construction work on additions to the water system have been completed and that the water construction fund has a cash balance of $15,464.70 and unpaid accounts of $4,495.35. Cleneay pointed out that as soon as the accounts have been paid and the auditing department assured that no further obligations are outstanding, "the commission will be requested to authorize the transfer of any remaining cash to the water certificate sinking fund." SINKING FUND Relative to the sinking fund, which pays interest and maturities on the general bonds of trie city outstanding in the amount of $854,400. the adviser told the com mission the fund would be able to "meet all interest and matur ities to the end of this fiscal year and should have a small cash balance at that The system of paving new streets under special assessments. until a loan of $20,000 to the post war fund from the special assess ment fund is repaid and until a court action asking that the city be reauired to repay approxi mately $58,000 In collected liens and cancel approximately $2,000 in unpaid hens, will have to he halted. Cleneay states.

also provided that a benefit tax be levied after completion of the entire project. This tax will not return the entire $37,000,000. at least not for many many years. What it does yield will be used for other water control purposes within the state. The first immediate tax levy against the 18 counties which will participate in trie plan will be of three-tenths of a mill.

No further levies will be made until, and if, needed. Just how the legislature intends to raise the $3,700,000 per year needed for the next two years has not been determined. The whole struggle in the legislatuer centers around financial problems, and the fineer of the political prophet points toward a sales tax. Governor Warren has indicated that he may drop his former outspoken opposition to this tax and meet the legislature halfway. He will, according to reports, accept a sales tax which does not apply to the necessities of life.

This removes the one bad feature of the sales tax; the one that makes it virtually an income tax for those who spend their entire earnings in support of a family. Also due to come before the solons are a number of bills which would legalize gambling. As the legislature draws toward its close, dopesters say, it becomes clear that no other sufficient revenue measures are likely to be adopted.1 It was specifically ruled that that property actually now owned by the Department. Also exempted from taxation were all properties acquired by the U. S.

government for spoil area purposes. All signs will be removed from municipally owned property at the suggestion of Commissioner Slater, and Commissioner Massey requested City Manager McMann to see that all "billboards" on either Johnson st. or along Ocean dr. in the beach area be removed. McMann explained that offending persons had already been notified to remove tne signs.

Tabled was a proposal to install a loudspeaker system in the com mission room because of the cost involved. Massey, at the last meeting of the board, suggested installation of the system to aid all persons attending the sessions in hearing wnat was taking place. McMann reported Tuesday night that a minimum cost of $75 would be incurred, although the amplfy- ine system now use at Dowdy field could installed if additional microphones were purchased.

Grant To Sue In Iiallandale Beating Case HALLANDALE. Two bitterly protested disputes were aired at a special session of the city council Wednesday night resulting in the promise of a damage suit being filed against the municipality in one instance and the governing board withholding its decision in the second case. Attorney Ted Galatis, Ft. Lau derdale, representing Arthur J. Grant, Hollywood, who alleges that he was beaten by a city policeman, informed the council he would file suit for damages in behalf of his client when the board turned down a request for $100 damages.

The second dispute Involved City Electrical Inspector Isaacs and Jean Johnson, beauty parlor operator, who asked the council to keep Isaacs out of her place of business. After a public hearing on this case, the council held a private conference but, according to Council man Snook, this morning "took the matter under advisement and reached no decision. In presenting his case to the council for Grant. Galatis stated, "I am advising you for your own good to get rid of Officer Howell." Lt. W.

M. Howell Is the officer who is alleged to have struck Grant in the face with the re suit that Grant suffered a "clot on the eye." The attorney stated that Grant was in a camp restaurant when Howell and two other officers entered. They are re ported to have told Grant to come with them and he asked if he could "put on his sneakers." Grant claims that some one said "yes" and as he started to put them on. Howell is alleged to have struck him. STORIES OFFERED Galatis asked that the council hear the stories by the principals and ask any questions that might be desired but refused to allow Attorney R.

M. Sauls. Hollywood, representing Howell, to pross-ex-amine the witnesses. Both Sauls and City Attorney Varon refused to agree to that procedure and Galatis informed the council he would file a damage suit against the city in behalf of his client. A focal point in the arguments was the Interpretation of pro visions of the city charter relative to such matters touching on the legality of such a hearing, the mayor's power to suspend an offi cer, and the right of cross-ex amination.

HURT BUSINESS Mrs. Johnson in asking that the electrical inspector be kept out of her place of busines declared that Isaacs had been on the premises three times and by his actions had "hurt my business." Isaacs claimed he entered the premises only on official business as electrical Inspector to determine if the beauty parlor was wired according to the municipal code. Isaacs brought Frank Beckley, who did the shop's electrical work, into municipal court on Mav 9 chargine three violations of the code. The case was dismissed. Beckley had no electrical permit.

The eastern section of the county, however, need fear only its own rainfall, not water coming down from the lake, and within two years an adequate amount of water will have been stored behind the levees to protect the area, to a large extent, from the effects of any drought.
