(1) It did not provide for the use of Gulf Oil i (2) option to buy, (3). terms to be increased from 20 to 25 years, “This was agreed upon and the contract was re-written and ex- ecuted as is. When we approached Gulf Oil, we found tt to our ad- vantage to lease all of that part of the property as the contract calls for. “Our engineers and architects found that to rebuild the facilities at the old Porter Docks, was much less than it would be to build en- tirely new docks and ‘facilities on the Simonton Street Property. An amount our present budget does not provide for. “Looking forward to the next stage of operations, we found it very essential to consider sound frame work in connection with our objectives for the future, This hai reference to another dock ing on the Simonton Street ty, to take care of the trail cargo service we plan to gurate some time in the meantime, we expect the lot for parking cars. Th many problems involved questions as to what requirem: the people will accept and the Government can enforce. We lieve the city will find that our Plans are in the interest of future traffic problems for the city of Key West. For instance, loadings for Cuba will Necessarily go through Duval Street to the boat, unloadings from Cuba will go out Simonton or Front Streets. Load- ings and unloadings of cargo and trailers will be through Simonton and Front Streets, which will pre- vent the blocking of traffic on Du- val Street, perhaps for 3 or 4 blocks Amazed At Squabbie “Tt seems preposterous and cer- tainly amazing to our committee, that any question of the terms and conditions embraced in the con- tract would be challenged, certain- ly since such an important contract where such matters as an option on the property, the length of the lease, etc., etc., would not be au- thorized until after due considera- tion by members assembled.in ses- sion at a meeting. “When the contract was re-writ- ten, it was submitted to our at- torneys Smathers, Thompson, Max- well and Dyer, who gave their ap- proval. The contract was then mailed to Mr. Porter to be execut- ed by the City of Key West. We were invited to come to Key West for a picture to be made at the time of execution by the city and ourselves. “When the Mayor, City Manag- GALORE E in BS reikse AT THE FRIENDLY STORE Fabrics for Convent Skirts 100% NYLON — GABARDINE — FAILLE |: Juet Arrived...

Mr. Porter replied that it was, except that part in para- graph 3, which was ready by the Mayor, who thereupon signed his mame to the contract, which was attested by Mr. Victor Lowe in the presence of James T. Cobb and yourself, after which I signed as Vice President and Joseph H. Church signed as Secretary for the Caribbean Ferry System, Inc, Adequate Representation “In all of our negotiations in Key West and Marathon, the committee ‘was represented by more than one member on each occasion. “We suggest, for the sake of fair- ness, that the City Manager, Mr. Lang and yourself submit to the commissioners all of the correspon- dence which has been exchanged between the City and yourself and ourselves, since May 18, which will | be factual and which we feel quite sure will clarify the entire matter. “However, if there still exists any doubt whatsoever in the part of the City Commission as to the good faith of the Caribbean Ferry System, Inc. in all negotiations a- bove referred to, I would be per- sonally willing and happy to récom- mend to my board of directors that the lease of the Simonton Street property be cancelled at the option of the city. “Now —— TRY A POUND TODAY — SURONG ARM BRAND COFFEE Triumph Coffee Mill at ALL GROCERS restaurants, filling stations and | other business enterprises in Key | West by establishing a schedule for leaving Key West at 9 o’clock in the morning rather than 10 o’clock in the morning, we feel chagrined that any cause for fric- tion between this company or any member of the City Commissioners should arise. “Respectfully submitted by, “Yours Very sincerely, “=N, C.
