AIRPORT HEARINGS
RESUME TUESDAY
Wood Bill to Buy 500-Acre
Tract at SuitIand, Md,
to Be Considered.

Local airport hearings. temporarily
closed early last month by the House
Committee on Public Buildings and
Grounds. after lengthy consideration
OF the Smith bill to establish an air
port at Gravelly Point. will be resumed
a. 10 am. Tuesday for consideration
Of the new Wood bill authorizing pur-
chase of a 500-acre site at Suitland,
Md.
The Wood bill was introduced in an
effort to break 10-year deadlock over
local airport sites after serious oppo-
sition had developed before the House
committee to both the Gravelly Point
and Camp Springs, Md, sites.
introduced by Representative Wood,
Democrat, of Indiana, the measure
authorizes an appropriation Of $3,O00,-
600 to purchase and develop the Suit
land site, which lies approximately in
the line Of ePnnsylvania avenue Sc.
extended. to the east of Cedar Hill
Cemetery, about AZ miles southeast
Of the Capitol
Transcript to Be Rushed.
Tuesdays hearing probably will be
concluded by the time the House con-
venes, it was said, and the committee
will seek to have the transcript Of the
hearings on both bills printed at once
as preliminary to final consideration
OF the local airport problem and the
reporting of a bill to the House.
Since the close of the Smith bill
hearings, members of the committee
have made a series of flights in the
Goodyear airship Enterprise to inspect
the more promising suggested airport
sites. These sites are at College Park,
near Blandensburg. Suitland and
Camp Springs. Md; Hybla Valley. Va: +:
Benning race track and Washington
Airport.
As much as 1000 acres Of high
table land is available at the Suitland
site and it will be possible to construct
a north-south runway up to $4,000
feet. according to supporters Of the
Wood bill.
Gravelly Point Opposed.
Although the Gravelly Point site
was recommended for development by
President Roosevelt last. September,
opposition has developed on the
grounds that 1t is too close to Boiling
Field for safety. and that 1t is jeop-
Ardized by construction on adjoining
ground Of a s1,000,o00 Bureau of Pub
lie Roads testing laboratory.
Efforts by the House committee and
local aeronautical organizations to
have work on the laborotary sus-
pended recently met with a refusal
from Secretary of Agriculture WAL
lace. who said he would not delay con-
struction unless he was given a clear
mandate to do so by Congress.

Analyses Depression.
To the extent that you would
answer that you feel less secure in
your economic situation you mirror
the feelings Of the citizens of this
country" Senator Austin told the
league members.
In brief analysis of the causes of
the present depression, Senator Aus
tin said it was due to the hostility on
the part of the Government towards
business. attempts at centralization
of power. lack of new investments in
| 1896 and the abrupt contraction of
| the credit basis when the Federal
Reseve Board announced banks must
carry double the reserves formerly
required against deposits.
This move was SO deflationary
that investments stopped and prices
began to fall. Every one quit buying
When the consumption stimulus was
removed, the 1886 recovery collapsed

whether the "feudalists' of the South

"wHY RETAIL STORES FAIL"

Competition, from chain stores or.
other stores. is an insignificant factor in
the failure of independent merchants.
That statement goes against popular con-
ception-but it is buttressed by impressive
statistics.
According to Dr. Julius Klein, the
well known economist, 33 per cent of such
failures are due to lack of capital. 30 per
cent to lack of experience, 81 per cent to
miscellaneous causes, and only per cent
to competition.
DR.. Paul H. Nystrom, another noted
authority on merchandising. estimates that
rs per cent of all business mortality may
be attributed to incompetence. inexperi-
ence, and lack of capital.
The United States Chamber of Com
merce attributed 3T2 per cent OF failures
to lack of capital. 3l.4 per cent to incom-
petence. 10 per cent to inexperience, and
30 per cent 70 sorpetition. with extrava-
gance. pnwise credits. natural disasters.
etc. accounting for the balance
The Federal Trade Commission re-
Gently Investigated the underlying causes
for the failure of 167 stores in 50 commune
ties. and found that il had been the result
of competition In only cases

identical conclusions. The adequately

KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY
Happenings Here just Ten Years Ago Today As Taken
From The Files OF The Citizen

The Meacham fresh water pro-
position and two ordinances COW
ering it will be studied at meet
ing of the city council tonight.
The meeting is called for that
purpose alone. President Ross c.
Sawyer announced at the last
meeting of the body that all win
be welcome at the meeting to-
night and will be allowed to par
ticipate in the discussions and ex-
press their opinions. The prin-
cipal of the two ordinances was
passed at the session last week
on its initial reading but with the
understanding that it was to be
gone over and amended after the
meeting tonight, if it was deemed
advisable.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1938-05-16
DON'T JACK UP YOUR PRICES

Every knotty problem brings request
for survey of past experience.
Property owners of Key West have
knotty problem before them, and they are
seeking more information before taking ac-
ton. They cannot be blamed. The ma
jority of people in Key West have owned
their property for some time. 1t is dear to
them. The parcels of land on this three
by-five mile island, flung high out of the
Turquoise seas surrounding it, have been
their possession for many years. Others
are now realizing the worth of this South
ernmost Island. The question in the minds
of everyone is what should sell my prop
erty for?"
Estimates of local real estate agents
put the "abnormally high" prices for local
properties at from 25 to SO per cent of the
whole.
The Citizen certainly does not agree
with those few land owners who are hold
ing out for ridiculous prices. But they are
in every period of land value increase.
That the few here seem to be much more
stubborn than is usually the case is unfor-
tunate but not matter for immediate con-
sderation.
Another, but more widespread, evil,
which The Citizen has long pointed out is
particularly evident in Key West is price
jumping, which once again is turning
buyers away from this city, many of them
never to return. Instances have been re-
corded in which land has jumped from ST.
900 one day to $1,000 the following day
ard what is worse-this happens when an
agreement has apparently been effected
between buyer and seller. This is a prac-
tice which is hurting the city.
The real fault is in false sense of ac-
tual values of properties! Offered a nice
sum, that sort of Key West resident inn
mediately' thinks that he can get better
price and the following day demands
double and triple the original amount. 1t
is all question of actual knowledge.
Compare prices now being asked for prop
critics with those of prosperous years, and
fair estimate may be obtained When
the property owner has thus compared
prices and set price with fair amount
of profit that is the price he should sell his
property for within a certain predeter-
mined period of months.
Prosperity cycles are very similar.
Compare this property advance with those
of other cycles, and an estimate year by
year may be fairly well arrived at. It may
be easily seen that price this year will not
be as great as price five years from now.
Selling should be accordingly. This is the
safe way to do business The Citizen asks
its readers to secure reliable advice-not
the next door neighbor's-and then set
steady price for certain period.
1t will be better way to treat next
years buyers Such prospect will en-
courage outside investment here, which is
greatly interested in Key West, and which
can easily be stimulated by such treat
ment

Men employed in the city scav-
enger service quit work yester-
day. The service was cut ma
terially with no carts operating
at all in the city. Despite this,
Roy Levin, manager of the serv-
ice feels that a settlement will be
brought about some time today
and service will be resumed .in
full swing tomorrow. Discon-
tniuance of the service was
brought about, Mr.. Levin ex-
plains, by the inability of the city
to supply funds for the past three
months, because of the municipal
ity's financial condition. Mr.. Lew
in says he cannot advance any
more funds to pay the men and
none will be available until the
city pays the management.
