The young people of St. Paul’s church are preparing the motor- cade preceding the rally Thurs- day night. Rev. Simmons is dis- tributin; car stickers opposing the track and Rev. Armfield showed a pamphlet purchased by the association which tells the facts about gambling, he said. This w'll be distributed by the association at the rally Thursday night. Father Arnifield reported that the JayCees had no success find- ing a me~ber of their club v-ho could and would speak against the track Thursday.

Planned to accommodate 19 vessels, the Proposed installation would have included fueling and supply facili- ties for the boatmen. The small boatmen based their objection to the lease of the spit | which is situated on Roosevelt Boulevard near First Street, on the | | claim that the bight is the last re- | maining protected haven for out- board enthusiasts in Key West and | that a “squeeze play” was being | pulled on them. An eloquent slap on the commis- | | Sioners’ wrist was administered by one Harry Richardson who said that he has been a Key West voter for over 50 years, when he averred | that “he would like to know who is| behind this deal.

According to the terms of a deal which has been in the fire for many months, the federal gov- | ernment would kick in with a million and a half dollars and the city would make up the difference in the 2-million dollar project. The government is asking further proof that the city cannot carry more of the load. After an emergency conference with the city’s fiscal agent, C. T. McCreedy of Miami, who in the company of City Manager Dave King met with federal officials in Atlanta, the commissoners passed on a resolution which stated that there is no other source of revenue measure, the only money would be a has been the in p, the develop. beach and the erator.

According to the terms of the agreement, the lessee would have charged rents ranging from| $5. per day during the winter to year around rates of $2 per day| with 10 per cent of the net profit going to the city. The Charter As-| sociation would have had the right | to sublet the facilities. Commissioner Louis M. J. Eis. ner’s motion to deny the lease was greeted by thunderous cheers from the large gallery. The commission voted unanimously against the | measure. Key West’s much debated taxi cab ordinance, will become law soon, when it was passed on second reading at last night’s meeting, but only after another rider was attached—this time removing the authority of the City Manager to give final approval for the granting or revokation of taxi licenses and delegating it to the City Commis sion. According to a motion for an amendment by Commissioner Delio Cobo, the commission will have the final word on who is granted li censes to operate cabs in Key West The ordinance which will become law upon publication the near ure, will also require the post of rates in cabs and the finger- printing of drivers.

Sever- al local bar operators appeared to protest the move made at the last meeting when renewal of the licen- ses was postponed pending an in- vestigation into alleged irregulari- ties in some local bars. Phil Bel- koff, proprietor of Phil’s Gate Bar, in particular, apeared to protest the naming of his place of business along with three others as one which was said to have violated the city’s requirements. Belkoff said that he had received no noti- fication of any violation and that he had always complied with all provisions of the city’s code. He added that publicity stemming from the move by the commission had hurt his business. Gerald Adams, chairman of the Monroe County School Board ap- peared before the group at last night’s meeting asking that the commission expedite the granting of the land adjoining the Poinci- ana School which they wish to de- velop into a recreation area. The City agreed to grant the land to the county with the provision that if it ever ceases to be used as a re- creational area, it will revert to the city. In other routine business the group approved the payment of $304.17 to the Florida Keys Aque- duct Commission covering the an- nual charges assessed for the use of the city’s fire hydrants. Acting City Manager Charles’ Roberts em- phasized that the charges have been reduced from $50 to $25 per hydrant since the last payment was made, Subscribe to The Citizen NAVY PILOT FOYE (Continued From Page One) E.
