A general planning committee | for sponsoring WPA projects, | with Charles Taylor as chairman, met last night at the’ City Hall when the matter was‘taken up for discussion. Mr. Taylor gave a thorough outline of the plans as submitted for a voluntary retail sales tax, which was offered as a solution to the existing problem. A two percent tax will be im-} posed, according to the plans of the city, which is.to be collected through the token system. This plan was unanimously approved by those in attendance at the meeting last night, with the mat- ter being referred to the City Council for its stamp of approval. The council will meet in spe- cial‘ session tonight ‘to take up; this matter, and also for the pur-; pose of passing an ordinance which will levy a one cent tax on permost in every official’s mind "I am particularly and favor- lably impressed with the develop- ; ment that has come to Key West [sare myledeparture in 1935", {stated Julius’F. Stone on the oc- ‘casion of ‘a«call today at. the of- {fice of The Citizen. Mr. Stone, \it will be recalled, was State Ad- | ministrator of WPA in 1934, be- | ing transferred to this city in that ‘year to take charge of rehabilita- led moves are going forward to! istrengthen the Empire’s defense ent under definite ‘conditions; } ; what is not allowed in a } tion work. | Continuing the interview, Mr. | Stone amplified the above state- :ment by stating that he was |pleased to see the direction in ‘which development to cope with a future tourist center status had |taken. “It is along the right jlines”, he said. ! Mr. Stone, in renewing old ac- |quaintances in Key West since his arrival Friday afternoon, has heard of the many problems yet ‘existing in Key West and. on his own initiative, recalling the con- jtacts made four years ago, sug- ‘gested some changes of benefit , to the city. One outstanding sug- | Sestion concerned an effort to ‘create.a sounicipal beach-with all , facilities on government property fat Fort Taylor. He felt that with proper contacts and encourage- ment the project could be. suc- | cessfully put through. As to the future of Key West, Mr. Stone was strongly of the opinion that “we would’ “forge \ahead to a position of prominence i {among tourist ters”. ‘Things | s { *|needed included sh water and | Repairs are'being made! fo the sonpiatin of Be bridges: = t * 4 | thought that ‘prevailing tenden- areas mination Kuane: Rectory |cies in Washington would result on Ccunty Road, and a permit|in the PWA having access ‘to |more funds than originally bud- |geted, and that fact, if realized, roof, has been secured from the| would enhance Key West's ‘ _.. |chances of procuring the pipe line cffice of Harry M, Baker, build-| from the mainland. ii 7 laced| Mr. Stone will be in the city, ee nee ' headquartering at the home of at $1,000. | William R.
