Key West led the state last year in per capita contributions to the March of Dimes polio campaign. Talk about “general apathy” and, a failure to “meet its civic re- sponsibility.” | Tain’t so, Admiral. | And ninety per cent of the money for treatment of polio patients dur- ing our recent epidemic, went to Navy families. They had no hesit- ancy about lining up for gamma globulin shots. “The Navy looks to the civilians for everything,” to paraphrase a statement made recently by a Navy officer. And how much of the Navy's a. Chest contribution came rom civilian workers at the Navy| lyard? Take away that money and’ ithe Navy’s response might look | pretty sickly, too. | No Evidence? | Our comments regarding the \city’s need for a few capital im- provements and how we might pay for them, drew this (ouch!) lresponse from Guy Carleton, my Windsor Lane. | “A recent article by Jim Cobb, starts with the assumption that Key West’s four imperative needs |are: a new city hall, a garbage) jincinerator, a civic auditorium, | and a swimming pool and the mat- | ter of raising the large sums neces- | } sary as the only consideration. | What evidence has he that a pub-| lic demand exists for these things | that people in general would be willing or rather, please, to pay a utility tax to secure them and un- }til there is any such evidence, , ithey should not be undertaken. | would probably ‘be a very good | | thing—has anyone an idea of where jit would be located and the type? | | We do not need a civic auditorium) —we now have available two halls ifor public gatherings, both fre-| quently used, at small expense. | Don’t argue about “‘conventions”— no convention manager would in jhis right mind pick Key West | when he could get Miami, for ob- | vious reasons. | “As for a swimming pool—that lis a private enterprise to be run |for profit; we already have a very) lexpensive County Beach and a |beach at Duval Street and for ihe | eight to ten thousand Navy popu-/ lation they have three very large, | |very expensive, water-' consuming | pools. For the city to operate one} |—maintenance is high—the job) igo be political and where would’ it be located to serve conveniently} he large number. | “Most of these things are dexaty} litems and with our present debt! land onorous taxation, we cannot| afford them. | | “If Mr, Cobb wants to get be-| ihind a project that probably would, Ibe acclaimed and cost very little! |in capital and maintenance look in-| |to the matter of many small fenc-' jed community playgrounds to keep lour children from the present haz-' ards and unsatisfactory conditions incident to playing in the wagpresiek i Very truly, | Guy Carleton | You have a point, Mr. Carleton. | | And I'm glad you took the time to make your views known. Myself, It hope that when it comes time to decide just what is to be done, the city fathers will throw it up to, teferendum, so both of us can make our wishes known where it counts—at the polls, Anyone else got any ideas?
