y = sie Colored Theater . Getting Backing * ALouis Carbonnel, who was ‘campaign manager for George ‘Smathers’ in the past congres- ional races, was this week ‘ap- pointed to the CPA board as a voting member by Washington authorities. Key West now has . two voting members, including the new appointment, Mr. Fred J. Dion, local realtor, hav- ing served since the board’s in- ception. : Carbonnel stated that his first move, and he knows that it will be. successful, is the “acquiring, >: of a theatre” for the colored re: idents of Key West. “This is a ‘must’,” said Carbonnel, “for these people, numbering over 5,- 000, are without a theatre of their own.” : » A pleading letter is being sent: today to Representative George Smathers, who in turn will get Senator Claude Pepper's en- dorsement to. push through the »project. The letter that is being ‘sent to Washington states two “reasons for the overruling of the Washington CPA decision. First, the letter says that Mr. Rob- bins, board chairman of the ‘southeastern district, has ap- proved the request, mainly be- cause of the acute unemploy- sment problem now existing in ‘the building tfades line in Key} West. Second, that the city’s ‘mayor, Wm. W. Demeritt, strong- Jy. urges this construction in a ‘letter dated Aug. 26, ‘in which ‘the mayor points out that the onsors have invested toe date $10,000 and cannot continue un- il approval is* given. Further, sthe mayor added that the mili- “tary had taken a playground and “a park away from the local col- "Ored Yesidents during the war aemergency, and in conclusion “that “No shortage of housing ex- sty in this area.” The original appeal to the local ‘CPA board for $18,000 construc- ion (labor and building ma- -ierials) was recommended by ithe -district. CPA but . turned down, by Washington in a blanket ‘move’ that forbids theatre con- struction because of its impact on ‘veteran housing, the purpose for which the CPA board was cre- ‘gted to retard. — "The site of the proposed the- -atre is at 805 Emma street and Will be under the ownership of Aristides Castro; ‘owner of Castro Bros.; merket on Duval, street, ‘ Department Heads To Meet On Budget ' Charles Roberts, City Finance * Director-Comptroller, . stated. to- day that there would be a meéet- ing of the department heads ‘and the City Manager, to work out ‘budget adjustments for the period of July 1 to December 31. After their meeting which may only transfer from one depart- ‘ment #surplus held in’the other, or may need extra Should a department need extra revenue this can be .more than taken care of by the present col- lections which are above expec- tations. There will definitely not be a raise in millage. - Aftet the meeting is held, the former part) ‘Tevenue. |) Bride-Elect Shower Held.
