ZONING LAW URGENT

Key West seems on the verge of a
building boom, the first in many years.
Several parcels of real estate lately have
passed into the hands of men who seem
determined to supply at least part of the
city's building requirements. Others have
bought lots on which to build homes. A
few new houses are to be built as soon as
Key West adopts a zoning ordinance.
For many years Key West has been
trying to establish a zoning ordinance.
SUCH laws have been passed, but were
later rejected because of various legal OBJ
structions to enforcement. Last year it
was finally decided that the way had been
cleared for the adoption of such an ordi-
nance. When the new city administration
took office last November, virtually the
first order of business was the appoint
ment by the mayor and confirmation by
city council Of zoning board.
That board has not acted to recon-
mend zoning ordinance for adoption by
city council 1t is reported that some few
of the members of that board have not
qualified to serve, have never attended a
meeting and have taken no interest what
ever in the adoption of this vital ordi-
nance. The result is that zoning ordi-
nance has not been submitted to city coun-
Gil for final consideration.
Do the members of the zoning board
realize the seriousness of their lack of in
terest in this matter? Lack of a proper
zoning ordinance has caused number of
property owners to defer their construc-
ton programs because they do not want to
build unless they are protected against
Objectionable nearby structures. A zoning
law would establish definite limits in
which industries, filling stations, stores
and other commercial buildings might be
erected Certain other sections would be
reserved for residential buildings, with
provision for proper yards and other rea-
sonGble restrictions.
The FILA will not loan money for new
buildings in areas where there are no zon-
ing regulations. No financial institution,
in fact, is going to accept mortgage on a
piece of property that might be de-
preciated by adjacent buildings erected in
certain zones.
A zoning ordinance will go far to-
ward launching needed building pro-
gram here. Our mayor and city council
must act as quickly as possible to compel
early action by the zoning board as now
constituted, or for the appointment of a
board that will go to work on this project.
There has been enough delay in regard to
zoning.

EASTER
By L. S. NASH

Easter soon will be here.
What does it mean to you?
Will you offer up a prayer
To Him this coming year?
Will you think of that lonely
night
In the Garden where he prayed,
And looking round for the friends?
They all had strayed away.
Had you been there with Him
then,
Could you have turned away
Seeing that sorrowful face
And not kneel down and pray?
There was that long and dreary
road
That led up to the Hill.
And see that cruel cross
And not do His will.
Could you have stood silently by
And heard His loving plea,
Come kneel down with me and
pray
And watch one hour with me-?
But He was left all alone,
That dark and dreary night,
To weep and suffer in pain
For sins that we had done.
Now let us go to Him and say,
Dear, Lord, we did not know
How cruel we were then to you;
Now we will watch and pray.
Not only on Easter time, dear
Lord,
But each and every day
We will give you that hour, dear
Lord
Now and all ways.

THE STUDY OF INSURANCE

The investigation of life insurance
companies by the Federal Monopoly Com
mittee puzzles policy-holders throughout
the country, because the average citizen
looks upon these Government inquiries as
indicating that there is something wrong.
Chairman O'Mahaney of the Mo-
nopoly Committee told the Senate few
days ago that ''the only object of the
Committee is to gather substantive facts
regarding the economic situation and to
present them in such form that they may
be studied not only by the Committee but
by the public aso."
He said he had taken pains to set at
rest "some of the mistaken notions as to
what the Committee is trying to do In
substance, he denied magazine and news
articles that gave the impression that the
agency system of selling insurance might
be overhauled and destroyed by the Gov
ernment.

HOW STATES RIGHTS VANISH

Last week, by radio, the President
authorized the expenditure of $272,500 of
WPA money to aid Massachusetts,, Rhode
Island and Connecticut to meet blizzard
and storm damage.
There should be no objection to the
action taken by the President, but it is in
teresting to remind citizens who protest
against the Capitalization of authority in
this country that such measures inevitably
weaken the authority of state govern
ments.
The argument over states rights,
whether advanced from the South or from
other sections of the country, does not go
deep enough to reject proffered Federal
funds. theoretically, the states are anxi-
Gus to reserve their powers but, actually,
when the money is being passed out, the
commonwealths keep their hands out,
ready to grasp the funds which may come
their way.

cent of those poled showed Mexico as their
choice. California was second with LAG
per cent, Nassau third, Bermuda fourth
South America fifth, and Florida sixth
Havana and the West Indies followed.
The poll did not determine that the $4,000

A Swiss savant says that a man car

A Swiss savant says that man can
always learn the character of the girl he
wants to marry by watching her peeling,
cleaning and cooking potatoes. He says,
IF she peels the potato, cutting thick
rinds, she is extravagant; if she leaves the
eyes, she is lazy; if she uses great deal
of fat in cooking, she is greedy; and if she
allows it to burn, she is negligent" How
ever, this wise man from Switzerland says
nothing about what kind of wives those
women will make who will not peel
potatoes in any manner, nor cook in any
form.
