Many debts, a number of, them still unpaid, were incurred. Several of those to whom the money is owed can ill afford to stand a loss. Nor can the individual members of the general and operating | committees afford to pay the debts. They. are Carl Bervaldi, John H. Costar, E. A.

QUESTION BOX Os aera a9 '» (Clearwater Sun) Q. What is the yacht basin project? A. A wall will be run along the cove just | south of Causeway’ Boulevard at the beach, parallel to the pavement and 120 feet from, it, and also across the west end of the cove. The dredg- ing for the slips will make the fill required back of this wall. The slips will extend out from this’ wall and provide space and safe dockage for 62 boats. At the east end, out from the southwest | wingwall of the bridge will extend a pier eight | feet wide and 200 feet long to act also as a break- | ‘water for the boats. See plans at City Hall or at | Chamber of Commerce: *-_ 2s. & * Q. What will it cost? | A. $45,454.26, of which fifty-five per cent | will be a loan and forty-five per cent a gift. +e ® Q. How will the loan be paid? |, | A. By* the: rentals charged boat owners for | ips. : se. 8 & Q. Can this loan become’ an’ obligation of the general taxpayer? A. No. The revenues only from the facflity ‘ are required to be used to pay the loan and the | | certificate holder has no other reocurse except to | take over the slips themselves and collect the revenue directly till the loan is paid out. | s 2 @ Q. Who will maintair: the slips? A. The city, out of the revenues received therefrom. ee es Q. Will any but boatmen benefit? A. We think so. This cove will look vastly better with this extended, improved and even | shore line, and with slips of substantial construc- | tion, than it does now, and it is at the immediate approach to the Island, one of our great assets al- ready. Further, any additional facility added to ; Clearwater for service and convenience of its own » People and of its visitors helps business and in- directly all of us. 1 ea eRe.
