Augustine Street and whether it should be curbed or not. Neither were any figures given as to what portion of the cost would be tiorne by the school and how much by the city.

English, 315 15tb Ave Mrs. English was not at home when Kretschmar tried to serve the notices. He savs he will make another attempt to see Mrs. English this morning and if he fads the notices will be sent by registered, special delivery mail, with return receipt requested. 10 DAYS ALLOWED Kretschmar is giving Mrs.
Eng lish. 10 days to clean up the unsanitary conditions surrounding the outhouses. If she fails to comply she faces a penalty of not less than a $5 fine or five days in jail and not more than $50 fine or 60 days in jail. Yesterday was the third suc cessive day hxetsenmar nas issued warnings to owners of sub standard Negro rental houses in his drive to clean up unsanitary' conditions surrounding outhouses under Palmetto's "forgotten ordinance" of 1927. Joe Smith, 402 Eighth was served notices on two unsanitary outhouses Tuesday afternoon; Rue- ben Sneeden, Ellenton, received arnings on three Wednesday.
The 24 belonging to Mrs. English brings the total for the week to 29, "and the end is not in sight," Kretsch mar said. All but three of the houses ow ned by Mrs. English in the Beauty Heights section have been recent ly painted on the outside, giving an appearance of well-kept homes but the illusion is dispelled the County To Pick Paper To Carry Its Legal Ads SARASOTA The Eoard of Coun ty Commissioners must designate a newspaper as the county's offi cial legal publication this month but chances are the all-Republican board won't be able to select a GOP paper for the job. The official newspaper now is tbe Herald-Tribune.
The possibility that the News, published by former GOP executive committee chairman, Kent Nc- Kinley, would be chosen by the board was discounted yesterday by James E. Wood county attorney. He said the newspapers must publish for a certain number of years before becoming eligible for county legal advertising and the News has not been publishing for a sufficient period of time. Selection of the newspaper will be on the agenda for next Monday's board meeting but there was no indication yesterday if it would be taken up. The board can designate a paper anytime in February, Woman Pruzzles For Hour, Wins In Washington (Special To Tbe Times WASHINGTON Mrs.
Lydia Hill, 1428 St. SE. worked for one hour on the Washington News pruzzle last week and won $312.50 It was the first time in her 60 years that she ever won a contest and plans to put the money aside for an operation in the spring. "We argued about DEER or PEER," she said. "So we looked it up in the encyclopedia and decided it must be DEER." That was the right word as Times' pruz-zlers now know.
If she doesn't have the operation, she said she might take the money and go to Florida for a vacation. Her secret is taking a little time and looking up all the words that she is doubtful about a sound system. Winners in this week's Times Pruzzle will be announced in Saturday's paper and Pruzzle No. 3 will start then. The prize this week is $400.
If there are no winners it goes to $500. If there is a winner, the prize reverts to $100 for next week.

Kretschmar said most alls are covered with cardboard and paper, which is typical of Palmetto's sub-standard houses. No attempt has been made to improve the interior of the houses. tenants say. except what little work they do themselves- Kretschmar said he found a number of fairly new outhouses freshly painted, but they, are full to overflowing and as unsanitary as the old ones. Asked the last time the toilets were cleaned out, the tenants said they couldn't remember.
They say they report to Mrs. English when they are full and she says she can't get anyone to clean them out. The stench in the area, which adjoins Memorial Elementary school, is so heavy, Kretschmar said, he went about his inspection yesterday with a handker chief over his nose in Beauty Heights Following his inspection of the past three days, Kretschmar said last night he regrets Palmetto does not have a building standard or dinance under which sub-standard houses could be condemned. With an ordinance such as Bra- denton's, Kretschmar said. it would be possible to clean them up.
Two Accused Check Forgers To Face Trial BRADENTON William B. Stevens and Clifford B. Young, arrested on suspicion of forgery Monday afternoon in Palmet to, will probably be tried before Circuit Judge W. T. Harrison to day.
State Attorney Mack Smil ey, said yesterday. Stevens was confronted yester day morning with evidence of his prison record by Smiley. Accord ing to the FBI, Stevens' first run-in with the law occurred in San Diego, in 1941, when he was arrested for a fish and game violation. He was fined $100. In 1942 Stevens was convicted of burglary and placed on probation for three years.
Then in 1943 he was convicted of grand thett and received a sentence of from one to ten years. Apparently Young has no police record. Smiley indicated he may turn him over to William Gross, state parole and probation officer. Major John Sharp, local commandant of the Salvation Army, is attempting to get in touch with welfare officers in Kentucky to take care of Stevens' wife and four children. They are staying now at the Salvation Army home in Sarasota.
When arrested Monday, Young already had passed one of Stevens' forged cheeks and was attempting to pass another. C-C Manager Watches Feb. 5 As Season Guide SARASOTA This Saturday will be the day to watch in judging the season. Chamber of Commerce Manager Tod Swalm said yesterday. "Over the weekend 1 think the town will be filled up," he said, when asked about complaints of motel owners that the season was "slow." He said January comnlaints are the rule rather than the exception and tnat reb.
5 is usually the day when he considers the season has arrived. He also reported mail inquiries at his office showed a slight rise over last year. Inquiries last month totaled 1.776. In January 1954 the total was 1,724. he said.
Both figures were less than December inquires. He said the drop resulted from the fact that most cflamber advertising is done in November and early December.

AT COMMISSIONERS' Open Hearing On Manasola SARASOTA A public hearing on the controversial Manasota Key zoning tops the anenda for the Board of County Commissioner's Monday meeting. The hearing is scheduled for 10 am.
The county zoning commission has recommended that land around a county beach at Vanasota bridge be zoned commercial and most of the other key land be zoned for single dwellings. BUFFER' STRIPS "Buffer" strips of multiple rental zones on either side of the commercial zone were also recommended. This last proposal has drawn powerful opposition to the zoning by residents, who orgirral-1 requested the zoning. Also of interest on the agenda is a discussion of subdivision regulations, advertising bills of the Venice Area Chamber of Commerce and the claim of a citizen that the county owes him a $18.11 refund in jail costs. The subdivision regulation dis cussion will prcbably be led by- Commissioner Gustin M.
Nelson, who has advocated forcing developers of subdivisions with roads below standards for county main tenance note in land deeds that the roads were accepted by the county "for record only:" The request of the VACC to ap prove future advertising commit ments is not expected to raise the violent argument that such re quests have raised in the past before the VACC joined with the Venice Chamber of Commerce.
