Whatever her business Lt. narried to tt . whatever the product or ed to tuking progress in its stride we barely give a passing thought to an announcement that gives impetus to that progress. The latest news of that nature, published in The Citizen, buckled on our progress three-Jeague boots, and yet it caused only passing interest. That news came from, Tallahassee and told of a bill that had been introduced inthe legislature to discontinue tolls on the Overseas Highway bridges by January 1, 1953. What will the removal of the tolls mean to Key West? Aside from the advantage that will be given residents in Ie a f F P F going te and returning from the mainland without having to dig into their pockets to pay tolls, it will mean the com- ing to Key West of tens of thousands of more out-of-town people in the course of a year. ~. -Dén’t think for an instance that the tolls don’t keep thdtsaifds from coming to Key West. It is not so much the monéf'that they now have to pay to come to town, though that is now running to an average of more than $50,000 a moxth,‘as it is resentment generally against having to pay to-use highways. That resentment is embedded in a sense of freedom that is a passion with Americans. They don’t give a thought to what a highway_and its. component parts maytost and the necessity to “collect tolls to meet that cogt. Their dominant idea is that they should+be permitted tojilrive wherever they wish without having to pay to,pass oygr a road. That sentiment is deeply rooted throyghout Beginning yesterday and -con- Moser Channel equipment and divers.

Own- 5 vans and trucks that bring gommodities to town add togtheir freight rates the tolls they pay. As usual, the ul- tigate consumer fdots the toll payment, as he foots the payment of processing and all other taxes on foodstuffs amd everything else he buys. That is afi economic proce- dure that will last as long as taxes last, and toll payments age taxes under another name. ~ But back to the inereased volume of traffic ‘on the OWerseas Highway when tolls are lifted. Building Con- tractor Joe Sirugo told The Citizen that we now need two rqadssgn each side of the bridges to take care of traffic a@eqiately. Eventually, we will have two roads.

The fantastic idea that is being bandied around by some religious enthusiasts that it is our duty, as a nation and as a people, to spend our funds to give a fuller life to unfortunate peoples is extremely dangerous as it implies a moral obligation for us to share what we have on a per »eaches at the foot of Simonton street had swimmers doing nip-+ aps as the beat drifted out over the water Sunday afternoon NICKNAMES that arouse curi- ssity: Flight Lt.
