“PAGE SIX New Exhibitions At Art Center Two new exhibitions open at the Art Center Galleries today; paintings by the young New Mexican artist Pedro Cervantez, and a collection of paintings by members of the Key West Society of Artists. Cervantez is one of the young artists who have been discovered and developed under the WPA Federal Art Project. The paintings in this exhibition are excellent examples of his work, and show the freshness of his vision and the clarity of his draftsmanship. Although they are all oil paintings, Cervantez’ use of flat tones and his meti- culous techngiue tend to give the effect of gouache; flowers and fruit are among his favorite sub- jects. Ten paintings by this twenty- four years old artist were includ- ed in the exhibition entitled “Masters of Modern Painting” recently held in New York’s Museum of Modern Art. The present exhibition has been sent out from the Exhibition Section of the Federal Art Project in Washington, by Holger Cahill, National Director. It is being circuited through Florida Art Centers by Eve Alsman Fuller, State Director. The Key paintings are most refreshing in the cheerful effects presented by the artists who find Key West such a delightful painting field. The gallery hours are daily ex- cept Monday from ten until four o'clock, from ten until twelve and ¢ on Satur- until six from two until four days, and from three o'clock on Sunda: Miz Geiger Was Visitor Here Miss Essie Geiger, supervisor of recreation, statewide project in the Southeastern Florida District. was in the city recently. staff meeting was held with members of the Kev West unit. and many thnigs of importance were discussed by Miss Geiger.

(Continued from Page One) only a pecaution on the water problem. “The Overseas Board has taken cognizance on a number of occa-' - sions of the importance of water to the Florida Keys, the Bridge District, Monroe County and in sev- instances, by resolution, in- s chief engineer, B. M. Duncan, to prepare the necessary data for the Florida Keys Aque- duct Commission and give all his assistance and cooperation pos- Water is as essential to the | ful operation of the Over- + Bridge District and its prop- it is to the City of Key, st and the express purpose of the Ove Bridge District in its interest in water is to desire to see wat brought to Monroe County, regardless of who brings it. “The Overseas Bridge Commis- ision has also taken cognizance of the fact that even though the wa- ter project may be on the approv- ed list of the Public Works Ad-| ministration, nevertheless there is no definite guarantee that the wa-} ter mony will be allotted and it has recently come to my attention while in Washington that there is on the approved list of the Pub- lic Works Administration List of | Florida Projects totaling the sum| of Thirty Million Dollars, while | Florida, based on its proportion | of the previous loans, would be} allotted the sum of approximately | Six Million Dollars. In addition} to this, the water project would | aggregate one-third of the entire sum allotted for Florida. We do} not wish to convey the impres- sion, however, that the water project has one chance in five of ; receiving an appropriation, be- cause it is our belief that the government looks favorably upon this project and that it will ulti- mately receive the appropriation | requested, but we do call your at- tention to the fact that there is a possibility that this allotment} priation be made.*+It is als. pos sible that!the Public Works Ad | ministration, may ‘not obtain al the funds réquested from Con- gress, in which event less funds will be available for approved | projects. “We are, therefore, confronted with the possibility that suppose the Florida Keys Aqueduct water | project appropriation or allot-j ment is not made, where would we be? The Bridge Commission would then be helpless to do any- thing since we do not have any authority under the Bridge Act! to go farther than Big Pine Key, nor do we have aiuthority to handle the water project. “For further information, the Overseas Bridge project never received a grant of 45 per cent on the original loan of $3,620,000 and this grant alone would total $1,620,000.

In addition to this, the laws of Flor- ida require a thirty day notice in a local newspaper prior to the introduction of the bill and with ithe Legislature only having four | weeks to go, it was absolutely essential that some notice be run without fail not later than Satur- |day, April 29. “In conclusion I am glad of the ion of the merits of the d legislation but regret, se, very much the article nd gditorial appearing in one of he local Miami new eran | the facts.
