City Council Too Interested
In Primary for Any Work
To Be Done Until Next
Week, He States

Mayor willard NJ. AlburY. IN an
interview with The Citizen. said
that he believes the time is ripe
for an application for a PWA loan
for a Key West municipal airport.
A great number of loans of
this sort for these badly-needed
projects may be made through the
Public Works Administration, the
Mayor said, and he and the City
Council are fully cognizant Of the
opportunity. Most of the City
Council at present. however, are
working in the behalf of other
candidates or themselves IN the
coming primary Tuesday, the
Mayor said. and action on this
matter has been deferred until af-
ter the primary.
Sometime ago the matter was
brought TO the attention OF thu
Project Committee of the Coun
Gil. Mayor Albury continued, bat
for some reason or other II was
allowed TO lag, and at present
there is hardly a chance for in
vestigation into a possible PWA
grant.
Next week the matter will pro
badly be revived. the Mayor con

RULES AGAINST
PETITIONERS in
HODGDON'S CASE
WILL FILED TO REMAIN UN'
CHANGED. ACCORDING TO
DECISION OF JUDGE RAY.
MOND LORD

Petitioners in probate court of
Monroe county, who entered d
protest against the will signed by
Mrs. Charlotte Amelia Hodgdon,
who died September 3, last year,
will be notified that Judge Ray
mond Lord has denied the petit
ton.
The will named Councilman
William Freeman as principal
beneficiary. Mr.. Freeman was
also appointed administrator OF
the estate. Relatives, who were
named in the will to receive the
sum of 81 each, entered the pc
tition and employed firm of at
torneys in Tampa on the case.
Arguments on the matter were
heard several weeks ago and yes
terday afternoon Judge Lord rem
dered his decision that: Charges
that undue influence on the part
of Mr.. Freeman were exercised
over Mrs. Hodgdon were unsub-
Stantiated, and allegations to the
effect that the testatrix was men
tally unstable at the time the will
was made, were not proven.
Hence the original will, as filed
after the death of Mrs. Hodgdon,
will remain unchanged, is the
courts decree.

Wallace B. Kirke Named
ZOning Board Chairman
Matters Relative To En-
fOrcement of Recently
Adopted Ordinance Dis
cussed AT Meeting

The neWly-appointed Zoning
Board met last evening in the

ing TO an early and immediate
enforcement of the coming ordin-
ancc was discussed from various
angles.
Wallace Bryant Kirke was
named chairman of the organiza-

selected as vice-chairman. Jack
Long was chosen secretary. 9th

Dion, Fred Wolfe, Chas. H.

The main discussion was as to
the procedure to be. followed in
the issuance Of building permits,

10 look into this matter. The
committee will submit its recon-
mendations to the City Council

Good Time To Secure pWA
City Airport, Mayor Albury Says
Political Periscope

constructive legislation proposed
by them than he was in the well
fare of his constituency.
Other sources of resentment
being aroused against Papy fol-
/ low:
That he defeated an amend
ment to the bridge commission
bill, passed in the senate through
the efforts of Circuit Judge Ar
thur Gomez, which provided that
all members of the commission
be residents of Monroe county.
Papy ignored local feeling that
the commissioners should all be
Monroe county residents, defeat
ed the bill in the house and made
/ it possible for the governor to APP
point anyone in the state to the
commission, The result has been,
his opponents assert, that many
upstate individuals are working
on jobs that rightfully belong to
men paying taxes in Monroe.
That he killed the coming ord
nance bill in the legislature and
thereby retarded the growth and
development Of Key West for a
period of at least two years.
Finding no zoning ordinance in
effect, prospective builders are
reluctant to put up structures
until they know the properties
will not be deprecated by ada
cent cheap construction. The
present city coming ordinance
must be validated in the legisla-
ture to be really effective.
That he killed the water bill
which provided the necessary leg
islative preparation for a govern
ment loan to bring a fresh water
supply from the mainland under
the direction of the county COM
mission. II rs being charged that
similar legislation for other Flor
ida cities has been upheld in the
state supreme court and that
Papy's bill providing for an aque-
duct commission is of doubtful
validity. The result is no loan
yet has been obtained and Key
West and the keys are still with
out running fresh water sup
ply.
