Florida counties west of the Apa- — River arc on central me, TALLAHASSEE —The State THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Today’s Action Tuesday, April 21, 1953 capitol renovation job, no longer will act as the state’s agent in construction and remodeling proj- ects. The Cabinet, although taking no formal action, today made it clear it. no longer would employ the Improvement Commission to draft plans and specifications, award contracts and supervise any proj- ects which are the res i of the board of state institutions. Gov, McCarty, still out of his office recuperating from a heart attack, said “I wouid be in accord” with such a Cabinet policy of non- reliance on the Improvement Com- mission to supervise state building Projects in the future. He previously said he will curb the commission’s broad borrowing power. Taking away its construction supervision functions too would re- duce it mainly to an agency for representing the state and counties in dealing with the federal goyern- ment for acquisition of surplus properties, and funds for hospital, aviation and other activities. Atty.Gen.. Richard Ervin brought the question before the Cabinet with a motion that the House investigators be asked to file a copy of their report and recommendations with the board of state institutions ‘so that we may take whatever action may be nec- essary.” “The Improvement Commission has led us to believe that if we employ commission architects, the fees will run 3-4 per cent instead of 8-10 per. cent,”. Treasurer J. Edwin Larson said. “I have talked to enough of the state’s architects to know that what we have been doing is not in the public interest and not right. I want to move that Keyes (Walter. Keyes, Improvement Commission director) be instructed to. furnish us a list of all his architects with their salaries, fee and the jobs they are now working on. “When we add them up, I have da: a feeling we'll find they’re not as cheap as we have been led to believe,” Larson added. “I don't want to be party to the things that apparently have been going on over there and are just coming to light,’ the treasurer said. “For my part,” Comptroller, C, M. Gay said, “‘any further building we have to do, we'll hire our own architects and let our own con- tracts. As things now stand we have no control and are subject to these things that come out in legislative investigations.” “It’s better to have work for the board of state done by registered are! know in advance what's being done and what it will eost us,” Secretary of State R. A, Gray said. The Improvement \ Commission was set up in thé Caldwell ad- ministration and put in charge of the big postwar state construction program. Although it has a comparatively small appropriation it has operated on a large scale by architects and supervisory fees from .other state agencies which used its services.

The commission agreed, save for Delaney. A few changes to the proposed amendments to the city code which will provide a board of examiners for refrigeration and air condition- ing business were made and the Tesolution was adopted. The changes were that an ex-officio member completely divorced from city politics be on the board of three refrigerator journeymen and two master installers. Two or more members of the board are to call meetings or to designate examina- tion days for applicants in the business in addition to the previ- eusly prescribed examination per- iods. Also, note was injected that maintenance and ice plants are exempt from the standards set up for refrigeration and air condition- ing deals. Question by Delaney on payment of $3,044.37 to the Porter-Allen Company for insurance was an- swered by City Attorney Lester, King and Adams who explained that no other company wanted to risk the liability. It was reported that the company which handled it last year refused to take the policy this year on the question of lia- bility insurance for city track work- ters, ete. The commission voted Gy ais for the payment. Payment was also okayed for cutback asphalt bill to the Asphalt Sales Company of Miami in the amount of $1,280; and a refund of 113.30 voted for Stockton, What- - \ley, Davin and Company in the light of homestead exemption on taxes assessed on property of Wil- liam Ross Gibson. Max Marmorstein, owner of the " | casa Marina hotel was granted permission to erect an information and free orange-juice booth on city land adjacent to the Southernmost Pistol and Rifle club property on Stock Island. Marmorstein said his hotel was “not in competion with other ho- tels” and that although his em- Ployees would be working at the booth he promised to give ‘tourists all and any information about Key ‘West, including distribution . of other hotel and motel accomoda- tions. He is to bear his own ex- pense of the improvement of the land at the spot, including the ‘ necessary fill. Marmorstein point- ed out that he was cooperating with the Chamber of Commerce on the idea as a civic gesture of hos- pitality. . .with orange juice, Taxi licenses were granted to Evilio Martinez and Benjamin Gardner. Petition for a street light need- ed on darkened Albury Lane was read and granted. The Commissioners also voted to back all Bills being presented at Tallahassee in connection with Legislature for Florida Children. Jack Delaney presented a pamph- let whieh outlined all the measur- es for protection and improvement of children including juvenile de- linquent homes. He pointed out that Juvenile Court Judge Eva Warner Gibson was a member of the board and that Key West had its own problems in issues con- cerning ehildren which would be helped by such legislature. The interest in children of the community was also brought to the fore by Serge Hernandez, Safe- ty Chairman of Monroe Juvenile Council here. His petition was submitted and granted. It is con- cerned with signs for further pro- tection of school children and is as follows: “After a careful survey and | study of the traffic flow, at each of the Schools within the City | limits, the following reecommenda- tions are hereby submitted:- “SLOW SCHOOL 15 mM” Such signs to be painted in the center of the recommended streets j of bright yellow coloring, of large dimensions.
