THE TOMB OF COLUMBUS

The recent visit of American dig
nitaries to the Dominican Republic, in con-
nection with the proposed erection of an
immense memorial and lighthouse to the
glory of Christopher Columbus, has re-
vived the old argument over the tomb of
the great navigator.
Dominicans showed their visitors the
supposed coffin and remains of Columbus,
which were photographed, it is said, for
sthe first time. These are to rest in the
base of the five million dollar memorial, to
which various ma ions of the New World
will contribute.
According to most authorities, Column
body being deposited in a monastery at
Seville, but in 1912 removed to the cathe-
dral of San Domingo. In 1875, when San
Domingo was coded to France, the body
was transferred to the cathedral of Ha-
vana, and finally, after SPANS loss of
Cuba in 1898, it was taken back to Seville,
where it now reposes.
But the Dominicans deny that the dis
coverer's body was ever removed from
their island, and assert that in 1877, or 81
years after the supposed removal to Ha-
vana, lead coffin bearing an inscription
saying it contained the bones of Columbus
was discovered near the altar of the San
Domingo cathedral They believe the
Spaniards took the wrong coffin to Ha-
vana
In any event, the remains now in the
Dominican Republic will be given the
place of honor in the new memorial. Per
haps it doesn't matter if the Dominieans
are mistaken. What Columbus did in
life is more important than the identified
ton Of his bones.

ANOTHER STEP FORWARD

City Council has formally approved
the proposed coming ordinance for Key
West The measure now goes to State
Representative Bernie c. Papy who is
scheduled to introduce an act in the Legis-
lature to validate it under state law.
There is every reason to expect tnat the Or
dinance will soon become law, for State
Senator David Elmer Ward has indicated
he will give Representative Papy every as
sistance in the passage of the act.
Last week Senator Ward was in Key
West interviewing local interests regard
ing legislative matters in which they are
interested. At the end of several such
conferences, Senator Ward said:
Il will give every assistance to the
city Of Key West in bringing about effec-
tive action in procuring fresh water sup
ply from the mainland, in extension of
Overseas Highway via the old railroad
right of way and in creating an adequate
Zoning ordinance. I believe that a coming
law will be of the greatest good to Key
West. Lack of proper coming regulations
undoubtedly has delayed a broad con-
struction program in Key West, so that the
proposed ordinances have my unqualified
support -
The coming ordinance was prepared
by the Zoning Board after months of study.
Copies of it have been displayed at County
Courthouse and at City Hall. Several sug-
gestions advanced by private citizens have
been Incorporated in the measure, so that
today it is believed to contain provisions
which protect present properties and give
prospective builders legal assurance their
homes will not be deprecated by con-
struction of Objectionable adjacent struc-
lures.
Key West needs new homes, apart
ments and other structures. Demand for
such buildings is increasing. Many per-
sons who wanted to spend the winter here
were unable to find the kind of facilities
they desired. A substantial number of in
dividuals expressed their willingness to
build homes to satisfy those desires as
soon as the city set up coming regulations
that would hold water in court.
The present proposed Zonlng .ordl-
nance provides those regulations. The
State Legislature should lose no time MAX
ing it law. That accomplished, Key
West seems assured of a stable building
program this summer and fall. Such a
program will reduce unemployment and
create a large amount of profitable bust
ness and commercial activity. 1t will be
long step forward in our economic re-
Mobilization.
