(right) with Policeman Dewey Emhardt (left) as a witness Around the Island Rainbow Vets Wanted 3 Officials Sworn In At Fort Pierce High Tide Floods Many Streets In Key West The report was prepared by Assistant State Auditor Romig and was submitted to the governor by State Auditor Bryan Willis It was dated Oct 26 Since that date the cabinet has consolidated all custodial institutions under Terry Lee former state budget director who now holds the newly-created position of institutions coordinator RECORDS INCOMPLETE The prison's "accounting records are not set up in accordance with the provisions of the law" the audit report said "Complete financial information was not available to provide adequate control over revenue receipts disbursements and prison property "Incomplete records were kept of supplies equipment and livestock No records were kept of supplies on hand In very few instances were receipts given for prison property sold and in many instances money collected from sales was not forwarded to the state treasurer for deposit as required" by law "In addition to the inadequate management of the finances of the prison the records indicate that prison property was converted to private use without due payment and that prison labor was used on private proj eels "Automobiles were purchased with local funds apparently without the knowledge or approval of the board of commissioners in direct violation" of the law Reporting at the cabinet's specific request on construction of a houseboat by Godwin prison production manager the auditor confirmed an earlier statement by Prison Supt Chapman that Godwin had paid $27902 for materials used in the boat HUNDREDS TO ATTEND The commission expects hundreds of canners shippers and growers to attend the meeting "This is a joint problem affecting all factors in the industry" the Lake Wales citrus chairman said "The deal is sick and everybody is feeling the pressure and wanting to do something about it" Prices on all types of citrus now are the lowest in several years At the beginning of the season optimism prevailed throughout the industry as early price turned up satisfactorily Auction and cannery prices on oranges now are so low in many instances they do not represent a return to growers in production costs At several industry meetings recently there has been much- talk about blaming the low quality of early season oranges for the present situation Also coming in for blame have been the recent heavy supplies to the markets from the record crop HIGHER GRADES There have been suggestions from various industry representatives that steps be taken to set up higher maturity and grade requirements for both fresh and canned citrus Proposals have been projected by some that an export program be developed Suggestions also have been made that the federal government be called on to aid in disposing of surplus fruit and juice through the school lunch program or through purchases for foreign relief shipments Others have come out with ideas concerning an intensive program of national citrus promotions developed through co-operation of chain independent and voluntary retail store groups There was no speculation as to how many of these proposals would come before the mass meeting but Tillman said the citrus commission Is ready to listen to any suggestion which would improve the outlook for the current unfavorable situation New Commissioners Take Over Duties By EARL ADAMS Herald Staff Writer KEY is said to be the highest tide this area has ever experienced with exception of

declared elected Attorney General Tom Watson said in his opinion Horrell has a "case which he can submit to the legislature on sound grounds for its determination in passing upon his right to represent the people of this county in the 1947 sessic- NO REGULATION "The legislautre is not bound by precedent and furthermore has no limit placed upon it bylaw or otherwise to go behind election returns" Both Gay and Watson said they believe a 1929 case from Pinellas county set a precedent for the canvassing board to declare Akerman elected In that case the three highest candidates disregarding parties and groups were declared elected Horrell contendell he was running against and defeated Leland Chubb a Republican while Cobb was opposed solely 'by Akertnan and defeated him Circuit Judge Hugh Taylor of Quincy Saturday refused to enjoin the canvassing board from declaring Akerman the winner He too said he was of the opinion the question should be decided by the 1947 house

the times a tropical storm was raging A strong onshore northeast wind prevailed October tides are generally the highest in this section The Weather Bureau had predicted a rise of two feet one inch Last year on Dec 8 the rise was Only eight inches The United States weather bureau in Miami had no explaination for Key West's high tides other than the strong east northeast winds of the last several days which would tend to make the waters slightly higher The full moon has little influence on the tides the weatherman said $15000 Check Received For Monroe Polio Work A check for $15000 a loan from

1200 feet of cypress lumber at the same price which the auditor said was about "one-tenth of the actual market value" Reporting two months ago en the Godwin houseboat the prison superintendent had explained that employes of the institution had been allowed repced prices on prison products to help offset their low salaries- He said prison labor used in construction of the boat was "trivial" Noting that the prisoh cost of maintaining an inmate was higher than the state hospital cost per mental patient the auditor said the difference could not be attributed to quantity buying because most supplies for both institutions are purchased' by a central purchasing agent LAKE (iP) Harper 24 negro late today was sentenced to death in the electric chair for the rape of a white welfare worker
