An ordinance being read by 35, relative to the parking of taxi | cabs was interrupted by Harden’s “All resolutions in the hands of the commissioners 24 hours before being brought up in commission meeting.” Cooper asserted, “I received my copy two days ago.” City Attorney Lester said, “I gave copies to the Clerk’s’secre- tary, and explained they were to | be enclosed in envelopes and mailed.” Hamlin: “I think they were sent out by the police depart- ment.” : Lester: “I was told that they would be mailed.” Motion to further hear the amending ordinance was lost as L. Carbonell passed and Harden, Demeritt voted nay, to Cooper's and J, Carbonell’s yes. Asks for Amendment Eric A. Curry, a veteran, ad- dressed the commissioners and stated that in regard to issuing of taxi cab licenses that in 1943 or 1944 an ordinance was passed limiting the number. This he felt to be unfair to veterans who were away at war, and asked in the name of the local V. F. W. | post that the ordinance be am- | ended, Hamlin, when questioned by Demeritt, stated that the ordin- ance was still on the statute books, but that City Manager King had seen fit to issue above the allotted number. Demeritt: “Since no strict ob- servance has been made and the ordinance violated, I move that additional licenses be granted.” “Cooper: “Veterans should be given every break. I think that they should be allowed to do this.” Harden: “Some preference should be granted to veterans.” No Restrictions Demeritt agreed that no re- strictions be placed on, operating taxi cabs. To this Cooper took exception by saying, “This still would be a chance to freeze out veterans. Ordinance should be amended to allow only World War II veterans to operate the additional taxi cabs.” Louis Carbonell: “No, all vet- érans of both wars should be} granted the same opportunity.” Eric Curry: "Veterans want Mo preference as to war serv- ice, Even Civil War veterans should be allowed.” This gave the crowd its first opportun- ity for a smile. Cooper: “Only World War II} veterans should be given the ehance as World War I veterans have had time to adjust them- selves, but I will still vote for the change in my motion to in- elude World War I veterans also.” Louis Carbonell: “At a me: of the Chamber of Comme: has been decided to purchase 25 thousand folders, four colors, nine | pages, at a cost of $650. I think that it would be an appropriate gesture for the city to donate $25 to the Chamber of Commerce, as the latter is short of funds.” To the enlightenment of all concerned, Charles Roberts, City Comptroller, stated that there already was a provision Chamber of Commerce that no one has ever asked for.

Now Adams says $2,500 each is asked by his or- ganization from the City and County to underwrite the ex- penses in hiring a full-time newspaper man-photographer, whose duty it would be to conduct a large fishing tourna- ment (prizes would be request- ed from local business men) and to personally take pictures accompanied by stories of the local daily catches made in Key West. Also that a local an- nual professional golf tourna- ment immediately following the Miami Open be played in Key West. Adams added that on the committee will be a representative from the City, County, Lion’s, J. C., Com- merce, K, W. Chamber of Com- merce, and Rotary. The Commissioners then agreed if money were available that it would be appropriated for this- purpose.

Insurance policies while disabled now may be eligible to claim a waiver of premium refund. Recent Congressional _legisla- }tion not only liberalizes the pro- visions governing waiver of pre- | miums, but also permits retroac- tive claims, Many veterans who! ‘at the time of illness or disabil-/ ity were not eligible now may | be entitled and may make appli- cation, Gene Anheir, officer in} charge of the Key West. Veterans | ; Administration contact office, pointed out. In addition, veterans who were | eligible but who were not famil- | iar with the right to waiver of, premiums also may make their | claim now, he explained. To be eligible for waiver of | premiums, a veteran must have | been continuously disabled for a! period of at least six months. It) the waiver is granted, he is then } entitled to refund of rpemiums paid from the date his disability began. Future payments on his | policy are made by the govern- ment for the duration of his dis- ability. The new legislation liberalized the standards by which total dis- ability is measured. Certain “statutory disabilities,’ such as the loss of both arms or ‘both legs or eyesight, now are con- sidered as total disability, even though the veteran still might be able to work at a job.
