Upon arrival of the ‘fruit, relief clients will have to take their own commodity distribution room. while; the For gaiety there are the! | jects were created, must what may be handed them and in effect are told to like it.” accept The foregoing is an excerpt; from one paragraph in a letter to} Conrad Van Hyning, Florida ERA! jadministrator, relative to Key | Westers being appointed to posi- tions on the Keys projects, most of which are held by persons in| Dade county. Following an investigation into the conditions prevailing in the! Key section Senator Gomez wrote; Mr. Van Hyning asking to be furnished with a list of persons; working on the Keys with names! and addresses. Under date of February 18 the, administrator in Jacksonville fur-, nished the requested information. | After reading the list the senator replied that “it would seem that the situation has improved over; conditions which no doubt existed before the commencement of our correspondence, but the picture! as reflected from the compiled in- | formation before is far from an equitable adjustment of the situa- tion.” The senator follows with the statement that the information; discloses that 94 men from Dade} county are employed on the Keys in Monroe county and only three: t | The information furnished by the administrator, according to the senator, “shows on its face’ that federal projects for the re- lief of the citizens of Monroe county are being utilized for the benefit of citizens of Dade coun-| ty.” The senator then asks “is it right j that the citizens of Monroe coun- ty should go. without employment while the citizens of its neighbor and) sister county, with abundant ees, receive such benefits. res ilf te beeause the answer to this} inequitable situation is that “skill- ed or semi-skilled employes now seleeted from Dade county can- not be obtained in Monroe coun- ty” Senator Gomez differs with his informant, He wrote that he appreciates “your cooperation and I am sure it is your intention to do the very best possible for Monroe county and its people.” However, the senator offers the opinion shown in the first paragraph of this artiele. The communication concludes with “During the last legislature I was one of the members of the} ; Senate who encouraged every proposition looking towards fed- eral aid for the relief of Florida. I confess that since that time my enthusiastic faith has been some- what disturbed, due in part to the reasons set forth in this commun- ication.” MORE YACHTS. .
