ARTMAN, sR. > ames =p ~ gunneos_pemreren tip, a cootie invasion of NEW BUSINESS AREA Zoning problems are up before sports) the city again. The general plans field is in| as laid by the first zoning board are in the main corect according to talk heard among the zoning commissioners. There will be a business extension on the south- ern Duval area according to ten- tative plans. Part of Division street is now Business and prob- ably « section doubling back on White street will be increased. All this is just talk right now but business in Key West is going ahead and there must be room for expansion. o . APARTMENT PROBLEM In the arew just, north of the Martello Towers section there are @ number of two apartment houses. There is at least one more application for a two apartment house which will go up before the zoning board in the near future. Since the area is now residential thise hange must be advertised by public hearing and the question decided individually. As requests grow for changes. in thie area probably more public hearings may be held and far in the future there may an apart- ment area named in this section. However, for the present there will be no general. change in areas other than in the business area which is contemplated for expansion, Desire for a general change must develop more. . .

In keeping with the general trend throughout the country, wages have recently been increased. The cost of everything else which goes into the furnishing of telephone service is also climbing. Adequate earnings are a basic nec- essity to the American way of life. Earnings must be sufficient to enable industry to maintain high standards of service and to attract capital for expansion. As for the Telephone Com- pany, they are indispensable if the full usefulness of the telephone in carry- ing on the business of the community is to be safeguarded. put his store in his customers’ homes. In serving business, the Telephone Company accepts a great responsibili- ty—the obligation to meet every need of the business man who depends on the telephone. With the Company—as with the corner drug store—earnings are vital to continued success. And because the telephone has become a part of every- day life, telephone earnings are a sub- ject of importance to all. In 1945, telephone earnings were the lowest in the past 23 years.
