KEY WEST OPPOSES INCREASE IN TOLLS (Continued from Page One) Chamber of Commerce—“The raise in tolls is exhorbitant. - I \think it ‘will resultin less re- venue for the District and a pro- portionate, harmful effect on business here”. Wm. R. Porter, president First National Bank—“I was receptive to.an additional charge of twenty- five cents to be charged each car driver, providing the fund raised thereby is earmarked for publi- city purposes. The 75%. raise is ill-advised and illtimed, in. my opinion, and will hurt our tourist business”. John Gardner, local druggist— “A twenty-five cent raise in tolls would have been satisfactory, as far I can see—and would have been sufficient for the present”. J. J. Trevor, vice-president of | First National Bank—“One of the most important. businesses in this city is the tourist business, and to be successful, there must be a good volume of tourists coming here in order that local business can thrive sufficiently in the winter time to carry through the lean summer months. The exhor- bitant toll raise will certainly tend to lower the volume of visit- ors. Our business is bound to suffer if the raise is allowed to stand”. Judge William V. Albury—“The raise in tolls, in my opinion, will tend to decrease traffic and re- sult-in very little, if any, increase in- revenue”. Joe, Pearlman, president Retail jation—“When business is bad, we merchants generally follow a process of holding sales, or offering special inducements to bring customers creased revenue will result from | the toll raise. Why couldn’t the trip—instead of penalizing traf- Gonzalo Bezanilla, manager of $1.75 charge is too much. I find we when the high rate is charged. This is an exceedingly bad time to raise tolls and I don’t think into our stores. { don’t think in-} YOUR LODGE MEETS Minoca Council No. 13, Degree of Pocahontas meets Ist and 3rd The Sunday morning service at|Tuesdays of month, 8:00 p. m., at Red Men’s Hall, corner of Caro- line and Elizabeth streets. ‘Im- proved Order of Red Men meets every Monday, 7:30 p. m., at Wig- wam Hall.
