Making an unexpected appearance in the election will be a referendum on possible revoking of Sunday liquor sales within the city limits.

Ministers from the Bap tist, Methodist and Presbyterian churches have held rallies calling for a "no vote."

"THE HEART of Florida's agriculture is the industry," Trunin said, with production expected to reach 220 million boxes by 1975.

"OUR PEOPLE helped CRYSTAL RIVER A torrid race for council and mayor is shaping up here and a good many voters are expected to come out Tuesday to help decide the issues. There are plenty of hot arguments floating in the three council seats as well as the splurge for Mayor Leonard Damron's seat.

Nine men are looking to fill the council seats and the mayor' post for town council and usual issues like the sale of alcoholic beverages within the city, the first Negro candidate, a former county commissioner and the town's fire chief are luring the voters to the polls. THOSE seeking the council seats are incumbents Bryant Keen, Charles Barnes and Harold Keno-yer, and challengers Ralph Newton, Dave Evans, Mick OFFICIALS dedication us build a $25,000 building for $3,800," he said, offering appreciation to the many contractors who cut their I -P Vf if ihf ill It -f If authorize the sale of revenue certificates first in March, then on second reading in May, and at a third reading Oct. 4, with two additional readings on Oct. 7. THE COUNCIL said the ordinance was presented to Damron for approval or veto on Oct.

4 but Damron says he did not receive the ordinance on that date. Judge Fussell reasoned that if the ordinance was legally adopted on Oct. 4, it would have been unnecessary to again adopt it on Oct. 7, and if it was not legally adopted on Oct. 4, it could not have legally been presented to Damron for his approval or veto on that date.

The judge's refusal to validate the bonds throws the whole problem back in the lap of the city council and it may find the financing methods for the water and sewer improvement program an issue in Tuesday's city election, where the mayor and three council seats are to be filled. THE FIGHT has been over the use of priva'e financing with a front footage assessment or federal financing over a longer period of time and no front foot assessment but strict supervision restrictions. 3j- EXPBCS8 'ft MM tWIlif Your Friendly Agents FLOYD'S BOULEVARD SERVICE 801 E.
