All future St.

Petersburg primaries will be city-wide if a legislative act to make the office of mayor elective is passed and affirmed by referendum vote. The act provides that a mayor be elected every two years, thus the designating primaries would be city-wide so far as that office is concerned. Selection of coun-cilmanic candidates. however, would still remain a district affair. Under provisions of the mayoralty act, St.

Petersburg would elect its first mayor in 1942. A companion bill provides salary for the mayor at the rate of $150 a month. If this is also affirmed by the voters in a referendum election, political observers are predicting a record flood of designating petitions from a small army of prospective candidates in the 1942 campaign. Stabbing Follows Fight Over Child Elma Gaines, negro, 928 Nineteenth street alley south, was treated for cuts on the back and neck last night at Mercy hospital, following an altercation in her home with another negro woman. The argument was said to have started over a child left in the custody of the Gaines woman when the mother reportedly tried to regain the child.

PROMPT ROAD SERVICE TILL 10 P.M. St. Petersburg's new 1941 city directory the streamlined R. L. Polk digest which discloses where and why everyone lives in the Sunshine City rolled off the Jacksonville presses in time to start circulation here yesterday.

It has 692 pages but they dun't conceal the fact that the city's steady growth until last year didn't remain permanent in the Polk pages. Movement of persons out of this area for defense jobs has lowered the official total slightly. In P30 the resident total started at by 1938, it had climbed to 47.176; in 1940 was 49,640 but in 1941 is 48,224, according to Mr. Polk's weary Albeit a slip in population, however, St. Petersburg finds itself with 386 different kinds of enterprises from "abstracts of to "zoological gardens." Jack O.

Aardema and Gordon G. Zylch still begin and end the names. The Zylch alias has been a steady customer in city directory and phone books. Actually, it's the address for a household of young bachelors on the south side, who from time to time lend various forenames and initials to adorn the Zylch finale. Any Hitlers are conspicuously absent but seven Hesses and 14 Churchills made the grade.

There are three Gents recorded but two of 'em really are ladies. So is one Husband. To further the informal name fun, there are Redheads, Whiteheads, Great-heads and Woodheads; Ices, Knives, Lonestars, Pancakes, Whitefeathers and Toots included. St. Petersburg also has citizens named Gentle, Proper, Upright, Polite, Friendly, Faithful and Holy.
