ATTORNEY ARTHUR GOMEZ
ON SUBJECT

Creation of the Everglades Ma

comprised great deal of the land
in Monroe county will have no eff
feet on the gas tax ALLEGATIONS to
the county, is the opinion of At
torney General Cary d. Lands.
On September Z County Attor-
ney Arthur Gomez wrote the at
torney general relative to this mat
ter, excerpts from the letter,
through the courtesy of Attorney
Gomez, were published in The Citi-
zen on Tuesday.
Yesterday a letter was received
in which the attorny general
writes: 81 wish to call your atten-
ton to Section B, Chapter 1869,
which reads as follows:
The proceeds of one cent of
the said Second Gas Tax shall be
apport;oned to the credit of the
several counties on the basis of
area of said counties, that is to
say, the apportionment shall be to
the county in the proportion that
the area of the county shall bear
to the area of all the countless
81 am clearly of the opinion that
the mere fact that National Park
is established in your county will
not affect or reduce in any way
the amount of gasoline tax to be
allocated to Monroe county. In
other words, the tax is allocated
because of the area, regardless of
title, ownership or use of the
land"

PLANS COMPLETED.
ORSCHOOL HOUSES.
CONCRETE BUILDINGS FOR
RESIDENTS OF KEYS TO
BE CONSTRUCTED

Announcement was received to-
day that architects of the Works
Progress Administration have COM
pleted plans for the construction
of two concrete school houses, one
at Upper Matecumbe and one at
Tavernier.
As specified in previous articles
anent these structures, they will
be of such type of construction as
to warrant their being used as
storm shelters during disturbances
such as that which visited the
Keys last year in September and
destroyed many lives and much
property.
The schools will cost approx
mately $4,000 and win be of con-
crete reinforced with steel, and are
of the same type as number of
other dwellings which have been
already constructed on the Keys.
