That the people still continue in | their desire to be cheated is evidenced by the vote in California where one of the | candidates for the United States senate was elected on the promise to the voters | that all unemployed over 50 would be | given $80 every Thursday. It went the Townserii plan one better, and will get just #s far. “What fools these mortals be,” Politics continues to make strange bedfellows. Men are political friends to- day and enemies tomorrow. Even Presi- | dent Roosevelt invites Republicans (pro- vided they think and do as he does) to the democratic wigwam. If Senator Tydings of Maryland, whom Mr. Roosevelt scorched the other day, would go up to him and say, “Mr, President, I've seen the light,” he would be ‘received with open arms and a hearty slap on the back, and hailed as a stalwart of democracy. | | old Key West. | public improvements. ORDINANCE COVERS PLANNING | KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY TODMRROR |i Delving into the records in the city j clerk’s office, representatives of the Char- ter Revision Committee have discovered a | number of interesting legislative relics, . among them an ordinance estabishing a | city planning commission for Key West. | The measure was passed in 1927 under ordinary session of the State Legislature (|B. | in 1925. Subsequently a commission was | appointed, but it could not funetion be- cause of a lack of public interest and funds to carry on the work.

Public interest lagged after the appointment of the commission, there was no money available to employ -technical men and the whole proposition was shelved. Which was just'too bad for Key West. It is certain that had sucha; commission | been allowed to function the last ‘10 or 12 | years.

For instance, the city long ago would have had plans prepared and ready for submission to the PWA and other fed- | eral lending agencies for such vital im- | provements as a community hospital, an addition to the county courthouse, better | city hall facilities, public parks, a yacht | basin and others too numerous to men- tion. Planning neglects have been costly. Of course, there is no use crying over spilt plans. What has happened is just so much foam on the sands of time.
