Low Bidders On County Work Must Hereafter Be Licensed AROSE DUR-* SUBJECT ING AWARDING OF CONTRACT FOR ROAD WORK ON KEY LARGO After considering discussion the Monroe County Commission voted last night to award the con- tract of the 600-foot roadway on Key Largo to the low bidder, E. C. (Lucky) Luccock. The question of whether Luc- cock had paid a Monroe County Saunders ‘Married Saturday; Bride Was Miss Gentry News of the marriage of Miss Wilma Jean Gentry, Bowling Green, Ky., daughter of Mrs. Lena Montgomery, night at Coral Gables, was brought back here yesterday by County Commissioner Gerald fee to do business in the county came up following the submis- sion of the low bid of $1,300 for the road. Last night Luccock displayed his license to operate in the coun- ty. It had been taken out since the meeting of the commission last week. “I move that hereafter when we ask for bids for the county, the bidders have county li- censes,” spoke up Commissioner Clarence Higgs. ' “I'm going to oppose that reso- lution because we won’t get any of the large contractors from other cities bidding in Monroe said Commissionar W. ih. “We will simply cre- ate a monovoly for small Monroe contractors.” “I withdraw that resolution, and submit one to have the suc- cessful bidder, that is the low bidder, for such work, take out a license,” Higgs said. Howard E. Wilson, the county tax collector, said the license fee was about $8 and expressed the opinion that all bidders should be compelled to take out licenses. Judge Ed Lowe, Tavernier, said that all contractors were compelled to take out a state- wide license. The commission thereupon adopted the Higgs resolution unanimously. ' McCARTY SAYS (Continued from rage One) through a State Tax Commis- sion.” McCarty also urged the Jay- cees to back recreation and Boy Scout programs. These oppor- tunities for service are balanced by responsibilities, the speaker continued, responsibilities. such as getting out the vote and low- ering the divorce rate. Calling for preparedness while the na- tion works at the same time for world peace “through the Unit- ed Nations,” McCarty pointed out that Russia is the only country | capable of waging war against | this country today and that it is j worth considering that the United States has 14 combat di-! visions to 208 for the Soviets. | Master of ceremonies at tRe sumptuous dinner served in the palm - decorated, flag - bedecked il patio of the club was Harry Knight, who introduced the guests of the evening, including ‘ Mayor W. W. Demeritt, City Man- ager O. J. S. Ellingson, Capt. R. A, Houser, Naval Base com-' mandant; Capt. W. A. Smathers, commanding officer, Submarine Base, and Commander Eli Vinock, public relations officer at the Naval Base. Knight introduced outgoing President Delaney, who quickly reviewed the achievements of the Jaycees during the past year. Describing the Navy and the davcees as two groups around which Key West largely revolves, Delaney cited the following Projects, either completed or considerably advanced by the or- ganization: Construction of its own home; supporting the county beach refereridum; proposing a road from Tavernier to the new Ever- glades National Park; analyzing estimates of the City Commis- sion on the 1947 budget; assist- ing in the revival of the Cham- ber of Commerce; supplying Jaycee Harold Laubscher as ©. of C. manager; staging a major entertainment success for jhe March of Dimes, keeping up the blood bank here; award of tro- phies to Key West High’s out- standing boy and girl athletes; contributing floats to two pa- rades; getting a committee chair- manship in the State Jaycees; when Delaney was named awards committee co-chairman, and securing the vice-presidency of the District No. 7, largest Jay- cee district in the state, when Delaney was elected to that of- fice. In presenting Pinder with the gavel of his office, Delaney pre- dicted the club will move on to greater achievement. The new president declared that accepting the office was a solemn moment in his life and that he aimed to serve as the representative of the desires of the membership. “I hope we can continue to Saunders.
