ES Internationally-Known Photographer To Lecture | Thomas Bouchard, jtidnally-known photographer | the modern dance, will give a talk at Key West Community interna: Center tonight at 8 o’clock on, various aspects of taking action pictures, and will tell of his ex-| perience in this line. Mr. Bouchard, who worked in Paris for a number of years, was jone of those who made it pos- |sible for photography to be ac- {turned to this country in 1932, and since that time has chosen | the modern dance as his subject | because of its lynamic and in- tense combination of beauty and reality. | All Key Westers and visitors jare cordially invited to attend jthis lecture which is being pre- sented by the Camera Club, and the Photographic Guild of the |Key West Community Art Center junder the Federal Art Project. | | Editor, The Citizen: of | |cepted as an art form. He re-| THE KEY WEST CITIZEN “PaOPiES FoR REGARDING TAXATION Inequalities and injustices in |the tax affairs of Florida are en- |tirely in the method of valuing jand assessing property. | The most glaring proof of this |is shown by comparing the total assessment of real estate with that .of personal property. In 1902 real estate was assessed at $80,579,733.00, personal prop- erty at $22,468,204.00. In 1933 real estate was assess- ed at $459,641,715.00, personal | property at $59,601,731.00. In 1902 the assessment of per- sonal property was 21.8 percent} of the whole assessment and in '1933 it was 11.4 percent of the whole assessment. After making due allowance for exemption from the assess- ment of personal property, of automobiles and intangibles, the injustice to real estate is perfect- ily clear and is helping to destroy our chief asset—real estate. “A number of things have in- jured the value of real estate in Florida—The Boom—The Depres- sion—The Destruction of the | Timber—the opening up by good |roads and the automobile of large areas for residential purposes, and |the establishment of neighbor- hood small lines of business.

How! do you expect tourists to come here and be proud of the city if {some of your citizens have such little pride as to permit such a | disgraceful thing to occur. | In any other park I know of there would be more pride in a beautiful park. It takes five or |six years for such‘a tree to grow up and those children déstroyed it in five or six minutes. Chil- dren should be taught to behave themselves and respect the prop- erty of the city, and I think the mother was greatly culpable for ae making them do so.
