Bentley moved that Goggin be fired. The motion died for lack. of a second. Commissioners Har- ry Harris, and Joe Allen defend- ed Goggin, after Goggin, him- self read a long letter he had written to Harris, explaining his fees. . Gist of the letter was that the $10,000 in fees billed by his of- fice to the County since January included not only engineer's fees, but cost of surveying the sites of roads, inspection of roads, and other functions not | usually performed by an engi- neer. Bentley attacked Goggin’s bill | as “exhorbitant” claiming that | the engineer’s fees’ would come | to $18,000 to $20,000 on (Continued On Page Three) | 726 DUVAL ST. ‘Key West Music Center | | (Introductory Offer) : SPECIAL DISCOUNT | ON ALL ITEMS May 17th Thru 24 Music Lessons Instruments & } ee | Latest Records the | House Votes Substantial Tax Relief For Congressmen In Reversal Of Economy Moves WASHINGTON (# — In a com- plete reversal of previous demands for belt-tightening economy, the House has voted substantial tax relief for itself and senators and free hometown office space for congressmen, The measure swept through the House Thursday as it pzssed the last of the annual domestic budget measures, a bill appropriating funds to operate Congress. On all previous budget bills ex- cept one financing local river and harbor and flood control projects, the Houze had reduced allotments Tecom: by its Appropriation Committee. Demands for economy accompanied all the reductions. The congressional budget bill cleared by voice vote and went to the Senate with the distinction of being the first bill this year on {which the House actually raised the allotments recommended by the Appropriations Committee. The bill's total of $62,391,780 was | $1,500 more than the committee jhad suggested, although about 10 million below Budget Bureau rec- ommendations. The money finan- ces Congress, the Library of Con- gress, the Government Printing Of- fice and related arms of the legis- | lative department.

The agent for the Key West Dog Track, Inc. Abe Aronovitz asked Commissioners to give them an estimate on how much the election will cost the private firm. Commissioners consulting with County Clerk Bari Adams came up with the figure of$3500, This includes the use of the County’s voting machines. Florida law requires a special election be held with voters approv- amg the dog track before a state permit will be granted. : Multi-Millionaire Friedland ef Miami Beach is one of the stock- holders of the Key West Dog Track, Ine, Originally the company had ask- | ed the city to lease its Stock Is- land holdings near the Key West Golf Club-for the proposed track. On vote to grant the lease only Haryey and Delaney favored the transaction, Comr M. J, Eisner was the meeting. Both Narvey an voting for the le @ opposed to a dog track, 1 uerely voted for the lease in order to allow the City of Key West the chance to vote on the measure. Mayor, Harvey stressed at the April 21 meeting: 1. That the city commissioners were voting solely on the lease, not on the dog track---the voters would do that. 2. A guaranteed $10,000 annually would be lost. 3. That all evils would still be present if the dog track is built on either Stock Island or Big Coppitt Key as would be present if constructed city-owned Stock Island property. 4. That by voting for the lease, city commissioners would not. be making a moral decision for the people of Key West but would be | seeing that the City got the best deal possible. 5. Some eight years ago, the peopie of Key West voted in re- ferendum to sell-the same land to dog track interests for $8,000. Now the land would be leased for a minimum of $10,000 yearly. sent at y though }miss mY AULIOMOBHLE { | Pe ee vex f'¥ 194—Must see fe appreciate.
