Well, we checked and found it was dynamite being set off practically under the feet of the people walking along the sea walls. They're dredging there, and the big shovel was bruising its teeth on some rocks too big, for it to swal- low. So they blasted ‘em. COOMA eOH : CPOE.D. Brown Fined $250.00 For CITED SPECIFIC UN- FAIR CASE IN QUES- TION In the City Manager’s office to- day, a city official brought up the matter of zoning. Said this man to Ellingson, “Most cities work on a percentage figure, while in Key West a set arbitrary figure has {been given.” This arbitrary zon- ing is intentionally good, es- pecially in any new section of a city like, say, the Miami Shores! area of Miami, but Key West is an old city and some of its con- struction is over 100 years old. "To set a definite figure and disregard construction on a percentage basis as is done in 90 per cent of the cities in the United States, works a parti- cular hardship on old cities. To prove a point,” the city of- ficial added, “there is a prop- erty owner on a corner of Pe- tronia street, who is desirous of erecting a private garage on a piece of property that is 26 feet wide, Now,” concluded the of- ficial, “when this property own- er gets through complying with the arbitrary figures as set by the zoning code, he would be allowed to build a garage that would not adequately house a small piano.” “This property owner,” the city | official said, “is being assessed taxes by both the city and coun- ty, and yet he can not make any |the Nationalists Meter-Breaking use of his property at all.

At any rate, there the discus- sion ends. One school of thought holds that Key West, being an old city, is not adaptable to an ar- bitrary zoning code, while the opposite thought is that should the percentage basis be used, Key West, whether old or newly con- structed, would be better off.
