Although The Citizen has been informed from an authori- tative source that the Navy is considering some action regard- ing the project, no definite word has yet been released by_ the service. ‘ That Poinciana ,residents will appeal to the Key West Hous- ing Authority is .highly likely, as is the possibility of their car- rying the case to Washington if no satisfaction is obtained here. In the meantime Wallace B. Kirke, director of the local housing authority, disclaimed | any knowledge of even an offer of the project to the Navy, as- serting that he had nothing to go on other than rumor. “This is all out of the clear air, so far as I am concerned,” he, said. “I called the Atlanta of- fice this morning for verification ! and that office has no knowledge of the matter. It seems odd that | the project would be offered the | a without first contacting wa omice: . Kirke emphasized that the | neat authority “had planned to | have the Poinciana project as an} integral part of Key West's pos- war housing.” “In fact,” he added, “all the; maintenance equipment, appara- | tus and buildings are on that! project. It would hamper our en- | tire housing plans to lose it.” He id that “the Key West Authority recommended the re- tention of the Poinciana project in the final Key West post-war housing plan and it is recorded on file in Washington Auto Inspection ° mn Deadline Is Today a last minute rush to beat deadline on the auto inspec- j toda the inspectors bus} yesterday.
