Subdivisions May Have Roa Out By ‘ SUBI i i DIVISION, MAY BE| Beer & Wine, WILL BE DONE IN CRAIN DONE ALSO ON BIG PINE KEY , County commissioners, at their meeting last night, took action on | the main factor, in the beginning of the development of the lower chain of the Florida Keys, by agreeing to advertise for bids to have a bulldozer cut through streets on the Crain subdivision on Grassy Key. Harold E. Gibson requested the commission to have that work done, and, when he concluded talking, Mrs. Mary McKnight said that she not only favored the proposal but thought also it would be a good thing to have streets buldoozed in the subdi- visions on Big Pine Key. How im- portant that suggestion is was ex- plained this morning by County Clerk Ross C. Sawyer. He said: “There are 15 subdivisions on Big Pine, and they look fine on plat books or maps, with streets running through them and the lots in every subdivision numbered, but if you own any lots in any subdivision, you would be unable to find them without the assistance of a sur- veyor. If you go to Big Pine, you will learn that the lots and streets exist only on the plats, and that there is nothing whatever you’ can do, aside from the as: ince of a surveyor, to find out where your lots are. Streets are named also on the plats, but in actual- | ity there are no streets marked : on the land. The land is just as | nature left it, and. not even a’ “I have heard of a good many persons who wish to build on lots they have on the lower keys, if they could find the lots, The First thing that must be done be- fore there is any development in subdivisions that are nothing more than growths of woods and underbrush is to give the owners an opportunity to find their lots and have access to them. “The county has been ured that, when a bulldozer marks out the streets in the Crain subdi- vision, that several persons. in- tend to develop their property. As it is now, they do not know where to find their lots. On Big Pine, conditions are even worse because of the larger amount of land that is involved.” The co ion decided, be- or bids to clear streets in the Crain subdivision, to appoint a committee to arrange for the purchase of a bulldozer to be used on_ subdivisions. When streets are thus marked out, their names can be put on posts, and then lots can easily be staked off, so that anybody who owns a lot may be able to find it.

The county wishes to safeguard itself in the event of a fire on Stock Island. When the convey- ! ance of the let to the ci was under consideration a year and a haif ago, the county commission received a letter from the then city manager about charging the county for fire engines that may be called to Stock Island. Wants Change Of Season For Silver Mullet In an effort to obtain more bait for anglers in local waters during the height of the winter season, Howard Sanchez appeared last night before the county: commis- sioners and requested that they glosed season on_ silver-backed mullet.

The commissioners decided to the offering Pass a resolution requesting the! state bureau to change the dates HOUSING AUTHORT LL LSS tS fA Suggests U. S. Distribute ‘Hoard Of Gold (By The Asadeinted Press) LONDON, Sept. 2.—Foreign Minister Ernest Bevin, in a speech today to delegates at the British Trade Union con- gress, suggested a “sure way to cure the economic ills of the world—the distribution of the vast hoard ¢f gold stored by the United States govern- ment in Fort Knox. Kansas.” Bevin was quick to admit that the distribution would | upset the economy of the | ‘United States, but added that he was an adept in upsetting | things. Speaking seriously. he asserted that the United States’ hoard of gold cramped the recovery of industry else- where in the world, ‘ Bevin calted-on the British workmen to exert themselves to the limit in producing more goods for export. He said that Great Britain, to assure her recovery, must export ; 125,000,000 more of goods every month than she is ex- i porting now. i i i \ i i i Last night county commission- ers granted a request to repair Southeast First street in the Par- jtish subdivision on Marathon at (8 cost of $295. | Another request for street im provement received from a representative of the Anglers’ Club on Key Largo.

Liquor Licenses Given A pproval ‘County Asked For Funds To Improve (Highways On Keys; TY AFTER LATTER UNAN- IMOUSLY FAVORS TRANSFER TO NAVY Within a few hours after the Key West Housing Authority had voted unanimously to favor the Navy's acquisition of Poinciana Project, the City Commission last night passed a resolution by a 3-to-2 vote favoring transfer of the project to the Housing Authority. The commission chambers were filled as the session opened, largely by Poinciana residents. Commander Eli Vinock, public rela- tions officer. »-ho represented Capt. Harold A. Houser, commandant, Naval Base, was well equipped with factual data which he used to answer arguments of those oppos- ing transfer to the Navy. Commissioner Louis Car- , bonell, who led the fight | against the resolution, declared | that he believed the Navy | would still get the project de. | Spite a. committee's action. | In offersag his argument, he submitted a copy of the resolu- tion passed by the Housing Au- thority which had met at 5 p. im. under the chairmanship of Maitland Adams. | The Authority asked transfer to the Navy on two provisions: (1) That the transfer of the 210 units have no effect on present future applications for allotment of funds by the U. S. Public Housing Administration for post- war low rent public housing projects here; (2) reversion to the city for use as a low-rent project if found not essential to Navy housing. ' The Housing Authority resolu. tion streessed the economic de- pendency of the city on the Navy. 1 Carbonell said the city would look ricieutous 4£ the-comitlsaion Teiccecel transfer after the Hous- ing Authority had favored it. He declared the people wanted the Navy to have the project and that those attending the meeting were chiefly representing the 21 fam- ilies who face eviction if the Navy gets the project. The Com- ‘missioner said that the payments (OP LILO I MMP’ BA in. lio of taxes lost to the city would be $8,500 and not $15,000. Commissioner Hunter Harden took up the cudgels for the Navy, pointing out that the service spends at least $30,000 a day here and is planning expan sion. He said transfer to the Navy would work no hardship even on the few families affected and it would be to the betterment of the community, In defense of the Commissioner Albert Cosper de- clared that he is not concerned only about the present resident jot the project but those who will use it in the future when it will be made a low-cost housing proj ect if only 35 people would have to move Commander Vinnock assailed the argument that the project will be turned over to officers if the Navy gets it by showing that only 25.5% of Navy nel here is officers.
