The request of the public works office for $800 to be spent on road repairs, heard at the same meeting, must have made some and private disapproval of of the councilmen wonder what Key West is going to do for money, however, if some- thing of the kind is not adopted. brief for the parking Holding no meters and without information on the de- tailed Opinions of the cor acilmen, it is still how the council will replenish the city treasury without taking an popular step in some direction. Any kind of sales tax would be at ie ast as unpopular as the parking meters, and, for that matter, any possible method of raising revenue is not going to gain par- ticular favor among the people who have to pay it. Life and taxes are like that, though, and unfortunately neither com- munities, nor counties, nor states, nor fed- eral governments have found a to ate without money. The condition of many Key West streetasiis frankly terrible. The city} parently hasn't the money for a compre- hensive program of improvement, and must bé remembered that the cost of street repairs goes up as the condition of the streets gets worse. Parking meters and sales taxes, both dmittedly nuisances, are the twin children of the depression and they have proved to be lifesavers for many communities which otherwise couldn’t collect enough money | to carry on. Their beauty liesin the fact | that in both cases, there is no possible de- lay in collections. Unless someone in Key West has a bet- ter idea, one or the other is likely to land here in the near future. There doesn’t seem to be much choice.
