KEY WEST CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TAKES PART IN CAMPAIGN UNDER WAY The Key West chamber of com- merce and the local commodity committee of the Florida division of the Southeastern Advisory Board are assisting the U. 8. de- partment of commerce in every way possible in the transportation ‘field survey now being made. Baseom Grooms, .president of the chamber of commerce, is chairman of the local commodity committee. - The object of this survey is to secure reliable data concerning the business situation in Florida ‘for the year 1926 as related to the transportation facilities of the state. If properly and successful- ly accomplished, this survey should disclose three important items: 1. It will show for each indus- - try the present and future condi- tions for each main section of Florida. 2. It will assist the railroads 4m determining the amount of transportation they will be expect- ed to furnish this season, and thus be a prime factor in elimination of congestion and embargoes dur- ing winter seasons. 8.. It will furnish the real eeon- _ emic facts of Florida to the entire ‘United States, published officially by a Federal agency. Mr. Grooms says some of the from whom information has been sought have not re- _ sponded yet, but that a mumber "have realized the importance of cheerfully CITIZEN RECEIVES LETTER FROM SCOUTMASTER (CHARLES SANDS The following letter was re- ¢eived by The Citizen from Scout- master Chas.

KEY WEST, FLORIDA, MONDAY, AUGUST 9, 1926. HARRY BOYAJIAN OPTIMISTIC OVER FUTURE OUTLOOK KEY WEST AND MONROE COUNTY BOOSTER HOLDS OUT GREAT HOPES FOR DE- VELOPMENT “Industries, millions of dollars | in developments and projects. of | every character are waiting to | jump into Monroe county, only | cision on the bridge propositions,” Harry Boyajian, of the Vic Realty | Company, stated to a Citizen rep- | resentative after his arrival in the | city this morning ‘from a business visit of three months in New York | City. “During my stay of. three} months in New York,” Mr. Boya- | jian said, “I found various opinions of northern capital toward Flor- ida. I am pleased to say that the 1 bigger financiers of the country have faith in Florida and are in- vesting at present in a quiet way. | “The people who knock Florida | most are the narrow-minded crowd who have never been in any section of the state and seen the real developments. But this opinion is dying out gredually, as | it is only a. novelty with those so- | called knockers that have ‘nothing else on their minds to occupy | their time.’ | “I am glad to state that a few days ago Boca Raton was re-| financed in New York City to the| extent of $1,500,000. “I also had ‘the privilege of! having several interviews with C:! A. P. Turner, who has been work-} ing constantly on the bridge proposition, He not only has the most capable construction concern | lined ‘up, but the financing will be done by one of the largest bonding houses in New York City. I per- | sonally do not think that a more | capable, practical person could undertake and bring to a succéss- “Industries, millions of dollars in developments and projects of every character are waiting to jump into Monroe county, only held back pending the final deci-/ sion on the bridges, and the extent | of the development of the before mentioned facts depends consider- ably on the majority by which the referendum of August 17 is car- ried.” Mr. Boyajian says he is glad to be back in Key West again and will remain here for some time.! “Prospects are fine,” he said, | “and conditions are getting bet- ter every day.” ‘TOGIVESOCIAL Family of Man Dr. Norris Killed COSSOSSSESOTOOTOLOHOOLEHOLESESOOOLEDZELELODOORENOS Here is ihe family of D.

AT BEAGHES NEAR BUFFALO, NEW YORK A CITY PLANNING PRIMER Arranged Especially for The Key West Citizen From Material Furnished by the Department By FRANK W. LOVERING of Commerce at Washington Technical Planning Service A city planning commission re- quires competent technical ser- vice, not only when the first com- prehensive survey is made, but later. A city planning consultant who has acquired wide experience in dealing with the problems of other cities is usually employed to direct the preparation of a general city planning report, and may be engaged for other special purposes as required. | In some cities a qualified em-} ployee of the city acting under the commission’s supervision di- rects all the work. Many cities employ a special permanent plan- ning force. This works well, as it promotes continuity of pro- gram. The need is to prepare adequate topographic maps, and to obtain data on traffic movements and on the growth of industrial and resi-| dential districts, and other per-; tinent information. When a comprehensive plan is} prepared, the chief of the plan- ning division ordinarily submits it to the commission. When the views of the commission and of | individuals appearing at hearings have been harmonized as far as! possible, the plan is formally | adopted by the commission, or in, some cases*by the city council, or! similar body, depending on the} state enabling act under which it na ghey: It may, and should > amen as changing condi:' tions warrant. ie t & in etfect, it must be followed, subject to amendment, and unless the. city council or other local legislative body takes specific action to the contrary. In some states a vote of a majority of the full member- ship of the council or some other required before the council may overrule the plan commission on departures from the plan. Such a provision is an advisable protec- tion of the plan. Plans of streets to be deeded to the city are re- ferred to the commission for its approval or disapproval. City de- partments submit important ques- tions affecting. streets, highways, pipes, conduits, bridges. viaducts, parks, playgrounds, the water front, public buildings, private buildings on publi¢ lend, transit jner cannot design a good street with a fair distribution of cost between the government and own- ers of specially benefited private Property. The widening of a street, or ‘ creation of a public Square, for example, may _ in- crease the value of abutting property; part of the enhanced value of such property, therefore, should justly be levied upon, to help pay for the improvement. A City Plan Eliminates Waste By anticipating the probable needs of the city for streets, parks, playgrounds, schools, po- lice and fire: stations, the city can save large sums, through securing its rights and purchasing land be- fore it is built up. Small invest- ments in park lands have proved profitable to many’ municipalities through the enhanced taxable values of the adjoining ‘neighbor- hoods. The early setting-aside of land for playgrounds and for other public purposes may pre- vent the high subsequent expense of removing buildings to obtain such locations. Zoning A. city zoning ordinance is a vital part of a city plan. It pro- tects owners ih the use of land and promotes the welfare of the city’s inhabitants by dividing the city into different districts in which the height of buildings, the area of the lot that they may cover, and the uses to which they may put, are regulated. A properly drawn Zoning ordinance, |which is. adopted only after full opportunity has been given to all interests to state their opinion, re- sults in such utilization of land that each neighborhood can main- tain its.good character, A street system has certain limits in the amount of traffic it can carry and if the height and use of buildings in a district are not properly restricted, the capac- ity of the streets becomes insuffi- cient, throwing a burden hoth on the occupants of the district and on the general public. With no limit on. the height, ground area. or use of buildings, the city plan- system. It is like trying to de- sign a bridge for an unlimited load. The advantages of zoning in protecting the home owner from unnecessary loss through intrusion of factories or apartments into his AFTERMATH OF : LAKE STORM ONLY THEORY ADVANCED OF VISI- TATION (By Asacctated Press) BUFFALO, N. Y., Aug. 9.—Ten lives appear to have been the toll exacted by a “mystery wave” which swept Brant and Farnham beaches yesterday. Seven bodies have been reco7- ered and three other bathers ai still missing of the scores that were swept from their feet when the giant comber suddenly rolled in from Lake Erie and engulfed the holidey crowds, No plausible theory of the visi- © tation has been advanced other than it might have been the after- math of the recent lake storm. Some ‘of the bathers who were caught in ite grip described it as a “tidal wave,” against which the strongest of swimmers were pow: erless, TWO CHILDREN ARE DROWNED MONHEGAN Aug.
