Be- cause of the.continued vandalism, the city must spend a large part of the recreation money in salaries for guards to protect ‘what is put in. The government is considering ex- penditure of money for recreation here. But, after all, the government’s enormous re- sources do have a limit, and enough van- ‘dalism will convince almost anyone who in- vestigates that there is no point in spend- ing money for animals to play with. The case of the theater is much the | same. Why spend money for any improve- ment if it is to provide nothing more than a | target for morons? - It is up to the people of Key West—all of them—as well as to the few regular of- ficers. A's in many other ways, this is a sit- | uation where they can make of this island | what they please.
