MONOGRAPHS To Our Readers: Legal opinions amount to nothing; law is what the Supreme Court says it is, and remains non dis- putandum. It is the same in baseball, and should be. The umpire is the supreme arbiter and his decisions on balls and strikes are undisputable and final. He may be fallible on inter- preting the rules, but on balls and strikes he is in- fallible. THE ORACLE. EY WEST NEEDS HOMES We notice a news dis- patch from another State, reporting that an industrial plant will begin construction on two’ hundred houses for workers, at a cost of $1,146,- 000. The point that the news article makes is that people who must work houses in which to live. The same observation applies to Key West, where there is a serious shortage of dwelling units. In fact, the construc- tion of living quarters is probably of first importance in connection with efforts to attract industry or workers into this section. While the same situation probably exists, in a greater or Tesser degree in other areas of the State, the first community to offer will probably be the first in adding population and in- dustties, STILL SOME SHORTAGES The output of household appliances, during the last half of 1946, was ¢reater than at any other time in the history of industry, but de epite the high level output, consumer demands have not yet been satisfied. The Civilian Administration reports shortages of steel sheeting und copper that will prevent production this year but en- couragement is passed to those who want to buy. Elec- trie irons are expected to be on the market in volume, Production vacuum cleaners, washing machines and refrigerators vill be available but without iny surplus. Increased pro- duction’ of electric ranges can hardly be expected be- fore summer and sewing machines will continue to be hard to get. Free advice, regardless of its origin, is cheap, often worthless, and sometimes dangerous, it taken serious- ly. must have} homes | jone may say about dog or | ihorse race tracks or bar- 'rooms, the larger percentage | ‘!) of winter visitors to Florida | is concerned chiefly with| finding a warm climate., )’ Even a Miamian, as w noted in The Citizen a few days ago, who spent three weeks in Key West, was so enthusiastic about the -c mate he stated that he would ; return to make his home here} if his wife consented to their , selling their home in Miami. | Davis thinks that! | Key West has too many bar {to which The Cit utters | another “Amen.” Evidently, jhe entertained pleasing {thoughts about Pena’s for- ‘mer Garden of Roses, and his tone was wishful when jhe expressed the hope that ‘the Garden would be re-' ‘established. John Charles Thomas, no- ted barytone, and Ernest Hemingway, noted author, who visited the Garden of Roses, probably would agree {with Davis. Twelve years {ago Thomas, at the behest of large group of Key West- sang “Sweet Adeline” |in the Garden, and they de- clared glasses tinkled on the shelves in back of the bar as |he sang. | 3ut the Garden of Roses matter is something personal {to Davis. What is of general interest to Key Westers is | |that we should not under- jtake to make Key West like Miami. Unique isa strong adjec- tive, and Key West is the {only winter resort in the! country to which the adjec-| {tive can be appropriately ap-| plied.

His annual salary is $75,000, and from this amount the various sources of taxation nipped him for $70,800, leaving him $4,200.
