Taxpayers will wait for their 30 percent discount, also. To give this $5,682.95 away that has already been budgeted, and which means that the bud- get is short by that exact amount is illegal, and contrary to the City Charte: Let's look at the, City Charter! The City Charter specifically states that only the Equalization Board has the right to correct an assessment roll. Did the Equali- zation Board correct the Wm. assessment? No! Can the Equalization Board or the City Commission review an assessment and correct each year for the previous 12 years as done in the Wm. Curry Sons’ case? No. Article 1X, Section 3, prohibits it. City Commissioners other questions to ask: 1. When an error was found in 1946 showing ‘that 135 feet on Front street owned by Wm. Curry Sons company was not on the books, did the owners of the prop- erty go back 12 years to give the city and county what they were entitled to? 2. When the equity of the prop- erty was purchased, was the amount of taxes taken into con- sideration? 3. Did the present majority owners possess Curry Sons property during the period that they are asking adjustments for? 4. Is Curry Sons property the only city assessment that differs from the county? 5. Were Goldstein, Casa Ma- rina, K. W. Realty. Higgs, treated in the sane way as Wm. Curry Sons? 6. Did the Curry Sons property assessment go up in 1941 by it- self, or dij other lands also re- ceive much higher assessments due to the 100 percent as$ess- ment law passed by the State Legislature in June, 1941? The charter is protection that everyone will be treated the same. The rich man, the poor man. No one should ask_ special favors! Charter of the :City of . Key West also protects you Commis- sioners from just such pressure as you have experienced. If anyone asks you to reduce his taxes— you can point to the charter and show them where. you can not legally make the reduction, Following are sections that ap- ply to the Equalization Board. It is requested particular attention be given Section 5 of Article 3, and Section 3, of Article I Section 3. Notice of meeting. Annually not earlier than fifteen days, and not later than five days prior to the meeting of the Equal- izing Board, the City Clerk shall cause to be published in a news- paper of the city, notice that the City Assessment Roll will be sub- mitted to the Equalization Board for approval on the date, and at the place and time fixed for such meeting, and requiring all per- sons desiring to have corrections made in such roll, whether in the listing, valuation of property or otherwise, to file with him on or before the day previous to the meeting ot such Equalizing Board their written petition setting forth forth their, objections to such assessment. and the’ correc- tions which they desire to have made.

When Watkins ‘concluded that there was no, evidence to sub- stantiate ‘the charge, Monroe County Solicitor Allen Cleare said: “Administering needles and shots is evidence. The State. has nothing more to say.” First witness was Samuel Davis Boyer. Boyer testified that Wilson had given penicillin shots to him in the thigh. Watkins then questioned the witness. Said the attorney: How did you know that penicillin was injected? “I didn’t know, I took his it have been Vitamin “Yes, But the shots had the same feeling as_ penicillin.” “How do you know?” “I was injected before.” “Did Wilson have a sign ad- vertising his practice?” “No.” “Did he charge you anything?” “No.” “How did: you know of him?” “I didn’t go. to -him.

The court asked Moore: “Does Wilson belong to the Monroe County Medical” Association?” “No, sir.” “Can you testify what this bottle?” “Only from the label.” , “What are the contents?” “It would have to be analyzed ‘to be proven, but since the bot- tle is apparently not open, and by the label, it would follow that it is penicillin.” Watkins inquired of Dr. Moore: “Can penicillin be bought with- out a prescription?” “Theoretically no, but you can buy it.” “Then the answer is you can, but it without a prescription.” “Yes, you can.” Marinia Newby, called to ae witness stand~ started to ’ tell what shé knew about the case, but as she began saying what others had told her, Watkins in- terrupted, and*informed her she couldn’t enter any hearsay test- imony: But Marinia Newb couldn’t'seeé'it that way and told the attorney not to stop her that she was talking. Watkins interrupted her again, and JP Albury told the witness that hearsay talk could not be admitted in the court. Others who testified were Rudy Wylk, Frank Webber, and one lady who asked that her name, not be mentioned by the press. She claimed to have little money, and that she and her family have had trouble seeking housing. She was afraid she might lose the place she now has. Deputy Sheriff stantiated the lady’s statement.
