will suffer loss of business and trade,
general business and construction activity
will be affected; increase the number of
unemployed in Key West and Monroe
county, and throw the city's entire eco
nomic machine more out Of whack.
There will be loss to the state in
gasoline taxes, loss to the bridge COM
mission in toll collections, a loss to thetcity
and county in general and occupational
taxes
Then on top of all this add the dis
missal of Manager Duncan and you have
a pretty kettle of rotten fish. Our business
men and civic leaders regret the passing
of man of Mr. Duncan's standing, ability
and integrity. They do not believe the
commission will find a man of his stature
to take his place. Mr.. Duncan's dismissal
will not sit SO well with federal lending
and road-building officials, who have
implicit confidence in the man who con-
ceiyed and built wonderful tWo-lane
highway on a one-way railroad. Mr..
Duncan's word in Washington has weight.
You can't laugh off a man who was Sc
Il
the American commission to the Pam
American Road Congress at Santiago,
Chile, last spring. Lies have been spread
about Mr.. Duncan by self-seeking politi-
clans who were after his scalp because he
opposed their efforts to increase tolls and
to do their bidding in other directions.
Fortunately, toll rates apparently
must be approved by the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation which holds the high
way commissions $3,60O,O00 of out
standing bonds. The Citizen recommends
that our City Council, our County Com
mission and our civic, business and other
groups make an immediate appeal to RFC
from the bridge commissions decision to
increase the tolls by rs percent. If tolls
must be increased they should not go up
more than Is percent, or the equivalent
of fare for drivers of vehicles now ex-
empted.
Monroe County's, Key Vests entire
future is at stake in the proper functioning
of the highway. 1t is not proper, and Mr..
Duncan knew it was not proper, for the
commission to penalize this community
for the high interest and amortization
rates on fund that should have been adj.
vanced as a gift in the first place. The way
to cut these costs is to induce the federal
government to cut the $3,600,000 debt in
half, as it did in every other Florida
county where such large works were
undertaken.
Tolls should either be reduced or held
at their present levels for another year.
Appeal to RFC at once along this line!

ABOUT MIRA
Editor, The Citizen:
Having read L. Virgil Thomas
letter in The Citizen, inviting Key
Vests endorsement of MIRA,
which will result in priceless
publicity and promotion for your
city among the best people of
the United States, Canada and
the English-speaking world"
may I point out that his wonder
working organization is none 9TH
er than DR.. Frank Bouchman'
Oxford Group Movement dress
ed in political garb.
This may help clarity the posi-
ton of MIRA, if not DR.. Bouch-
man. As / advised in this forum
last Spring, evidence suggests
that both the President and Mrs.
Roosevelt are close to the Bouch-
man Movement, in sympathy if
not in fact. Only the files at 81
Gramercy Park, North, in New
York City, contain definite proof
of membership in this rich re-
ligious movement. But many
unexpected acts of the Admin
istration may have come under
the head of "guidances" from
God, which the Oxfordian main
tains as part of his daily prac-
tice. To many of us earth
bound mortals, this private adj
vice from the Deity seems a lit
tie fanatical and unbelievable,
thus few of the "best people in
the United States, ETC., do moi
place much reliance on the pro
grams" of DR.. Frank Bouchman,
his contemporary. Father Divine,

UPsETTING OUR APPLICANT

Key Westers were astounded when
they learned Overseas Road and Toll
Bridge Commission had voted to raise tolls
beginning September and to dismiss
General Manager B. M. Duncan. That was
certainly npsetting Key Vests economic
applicant with a vengeance.
The most astonishing feature of the
toll-raising action was the fact that two of
the Monroe county members, Mayor Will
lard M. Albury and C. G. Symonette, voted
FOR it, joining with Commissioner John
Kennedy, TT. Lauderdale, an avowed anti
Monroe advocate, to put the measure
across
Chairman John Slade of Tallahassee
and. Commissioner John Costar of Key
: West voted AGAINST the toll increase on
the ground that an anticipated increase
in-traffic during the. next fiscal year
would more than cover an expected
operating deficit of $4,000.
Mayor Albury and Commissioners
. Symonette and Kennedy took the view
Emergencies of Monroe's stake in the
traffic flow coming over the highway re-
CARELESS of Key Vests interest in this
important traffic artery, the tolls must be
Increased rs percent, to take care of the
estimated deficit.
Following Commissioner Kennedy's
voeiferous arguments, the two Key West
members of the commission reasoned that
an increase in tolls would result in an in
crease in revenues. So they approved a
resolution by Mr.. Kennedy to charge after
September /, Sits for car and driver,
. instead of 81 for car and driver as now in
. force, and to make proportionate increases
in bus and truck tolls.
Majority of city, civic and business
leaders in Key West believe this is faulty
reasoning. They point to the fact that
sales of automobiles, radios washing ma
chimes, refrigerators and other commodi-
ties were increased as prices were de-
creased. AS price levels go down. sales go
up.
The Citizen joins with our leading
citizens in belief that the net result of the
: toll increase will be to reduce traffic over
the highway. to result in an increase in bus
fares and to increase freight charges and
trucking costs for foods and other supplies
sent to Key West via the highway.

A monument or bench mark is
being placed on the lawn in
front of the county court house
by the court and geodetic survey
of the United States government.
The stone is estimated TO weigh
about 900 pounds and is intend
ed more as a means of infornaa-
ton than an ornament. 1t is be-
ing placed as a permanent mark
er in a prominent location in or
der that it may afford informa-
ton to the public as well as the
service people and shipping in
terests. Inscriptions on the stone
will show, among other data, the
elevation of its location above
sea level, and in time data will
be added that viii establish its
elevation and show the differ
ence between that and the tide
levels of the waters in the vici-
nifty. Excavation for the foun-
dation is being made today, and
the erection of the stone will be
under the supervision of Lieu
tenant Commander Ralph Spald-
ing of the local naval station,
with the help Of County Engi-
neer Clifton G. Bailey.
The muddle, which came as an
aftermath of the special election
held here on August 6 on the
question of special district school
tax levy, will be aired at the
regular meeting of the county
commissioners tonight. When the
election officers finished count
ing the votes they announced that
the results were: 1873 for a 10
mill assessment, rs favored a
three mill assessment and Sc vot-
ed no mill assessment County
Attorney VIM. H. Malone said that
the 10 mill issue lacked three
votes of being q majority in the
original count, while the school
officials maintain that the 10 mill
issue carried. Did it, or did it
not?-that is the question to be
debated tonight. The school
board win be represented by At
torney George G. Brooks and the
commissioners by Attorney Ma
lone. Due to the widespread in
terest in the matter and the an
ticipated controversy, a record
breaking crowd is expected to be
at the court house to hear. the
arguments.
