To The Citizens of Monroe County We are nearing the close \of the campaign for state: | representative in this district. ‘It will be impossible for me | | to see all of you before election day, so I take this means | of addressing. First of all, | wish to state it gave me great pleasure | when I read The Citizen last Saturday that the Hon. Wil- ‘lard M. Albury( mayor of Key West, had accepted the | chairmanship of my campaign. I fully agree with al! the! There never was a time | ‘in the history of the county when the issues confronting | \the people should be more thoroughly discussed and un-| derstood. | paign an ddiscuss public issues vital to Monroe County. | They are the important things, not the men who bring them to your attention. | What Monroe County needs in the state legislature is | a representative able and willing to pass legislation favor- | able to Monroe County, not a man there to advance and promote his own selfish aims and interests... Realizing, as the mayor stated, that many important needs have been overlooked or neglected in the state house of representa- tives in the last few years, I promise, among other things, , | the following: 1. To secure the passage of an act validating the zoning ordinance of the city of Key West. Such a measure, which would have started a large building program in Key West, was passed by the senate at the last session, but was killed in the house because the present Monroe County representative was opposed to it. 2. To move for the repeal of the fishing license act _which was passed at the last session because the present Monroe County representative failed to object to final con- sideration when unanimous consent was required to bring it up for fina] vote. This is a matter of official record in the journal of the house and is true regardless of what ‘you may be told to the contrary. of tos 3. .Touse every legal, legislative and other means at my command:to keep the Greek spongers out of ’Modtiroe County waters, It has been reported to me that certaifi in- terests have been trying to attract Greek sponge?s to’ our waters for selfish business reasons. 4. To initiate legislation appropriating funds for the completion of the Overseas Highway on the railroad right of way and viaducts from the Dade County line to Key West. 5. To work for the paseage of legislation sub- stantially raising pensions for the deserving aged that they may live in decent comfort without placing a lien on their property as the law now provides. 6. To reintroduce in the legislature a bill, which passed the senate at the last session and which was killed in the house of representatives, that provided all members of the Overseas Bridge Commission should be Monroe county citizens. 7. To oppose every effort seeking the return oof the slot machines, the iniquitous one bandits which the years.they were in operation, These, my fellow citizens, are a few of the things an’ alert and unbiased Monroe county state representative can do for;Monree county. More to follow. Such matters will’ become my.chief concern when I am sent to Tallahassee, ‘P%ptah'tor thr extension of the high: afi? warrin 4 reasonable time will make Monroe county’s business my business, at times serving the citizens and taxpayers of Monroe county and turning a deaf ear to selfish interest in Monroe County or in other sections of the state seeking to profit at the ex- pense of the citizens and taxpayers of Monroe County. I respectfully solicit your support. > Sincerely, Thomas S. Caro Candidate for State Representative.
