Papy has | | prepared an ambitious legislative program ' | for submission to the when it meets next Tuesday. There are eight main points in the program and each vitally affects and will have far- reaching effect in Key West and Monroe | County. Representative Papy has prepared, or is preparing, acts Court; to cut the salary of county commis- sioners; to give Monrce’s share of state race track taxes to the Board of Public In- | struction; to set up a new charter for Key , West; to protect deer and other wildlife | to remove the annual | salary and expense guarantee of $4,000 to | en Florida Keys tax assessors and collectors; to validate the Key West zoning ordinance, and to prohibit billboards and signs on Overseas highway. The proposed act setting up a new city charter for Key West was drawn up by a citizens’ committee and that creating an adequate zoning ordinance was _ pre- pared by the Key West Zoning Board and approved by City Council. for they are believed to be vital in insur- ing an orderly municipal growth and de- | velopment. Key West Woman’s Club initiated the movement to prohibit billboards and signs | where they seriously clash with the seenic beauties of Overseas Highway, while the | proposal to protect the key deer and other wildlife from hunters and wanton killers | | was sponsored by the Key West Chamber of Commerce. These too, appear to have general public backing because it is right- | fully felt that the gateway to Key West should be made as attractive and alluring as possible in order to encourage tourist travel in this direction. The measure to remove the guarantee of $4,600 for salaries and expenses to tax assessors and collectors neither adds nor substracts from the incomes of those of- | ficials, so that there is no concrete public opinion regarding it. In-regard to the proposal to give Mon- roe County’s share of the race track funds, annually amounting to about $25,000, to Instruction, there seems to bé a sharp division of opinion. In general the reaction to this plan is that, ! while the school authorities do need addi- tional funds, it would be a mistake to take all df the money away from the county’s general fund. In that case, it is argued, the loss would have to be made up by the county taxpayers, unless other economies are effected in the county’s operations. The concensus seems to favor a division of the race track funds between the schools and the county, and The Citizen believes | this desideration will eventuate. Papy claims to have general public support of his proposals to abolish Crim- inal Court and reduce the salaries of the County Commissioners. If no other ex- penses are added to the county through giving jurisdiction in mis- deamenor cases to peace justices and » the County Judge the general public believes elimination of the Criminal Court will re- | duce county operating costs.
