In effect, the critics claim, the city is going against these re- commendations by not holding such a hearing. The creation of a dangerous traf fic situation, if the land is pur chased by private citizens and sub divided, was also cited. A large number of driveways, opening into the Boulevard could result in a dangerous situation, they claim.

In addition, this move is going to weaken our request to the Internal improvement | Board for land north of Sigsbee Park Road. We have really lost ground.” City Commissioner Delio Cobo, | who voted for returning the land f\ to the state, issued a flat “No comment,” when queried today. Louis M. J. Eisner justified his vote for the return of the land to the IIB, by saying: “That strip | of land has no beauty as it stands. We can’t stop people from moving in there so we ought to let some one fill it in so that we can collect taxes on it. It is a tough thing, trying to run the city without money --- we can’t live on beauty. But, I will fight for the right of the city to have the land along the Boulevard north of Sigsbee Park.” Commissioners Carbonell | Delaney could not be reac! comment this morning.

The father of the child, a I officer, testified as did the mother, that the Geeseys and they been extremely friend- ly since March 29 when both families moved to the trailer court. The father said: “He looked after my children when we went out. We saw each other every day.

A civilian employee of the Navy yard, he told his attorneys he may leave Key West and go back home to spare his children any aftermath of the events of the last months.
