SUITABLE NAMES

Residents of Key West were pleased
20 participate in the move to affix names
20 the Key West Housing Authority white
arfI col0red units which will be constructed
here, presumably this coming summer.
AS announced last week, names could
be sent to The Citizen. Proof that the sug
gestion did not &C UNDECIDED was evidenced
in the relatively large number of names
turned in. time allowance being con-
sidered.
Now it's up to the local Housing
Authority group to pick the best names, or
to combine suggestions made into ones that
will. in its opinion, be best suited for the
two units.
The Citizen liked several of the names
ubmitted-especially that recognizing the
pioneering days of Key West in honoring
the leaders of those days. Good practice
is followed in other localities that have
named Housing projects ii hOnoring OF
noted citizens who have passed on, either
long ago or in the near past.
In the future, these units will be re-
ferred to by name. The Citizen trusts that
the local authority will exercise due care in
the selections soon to be made. A proud
city would do well to remind visitors of two
of its outstanding pioneers by placing their
names on the projects to be carried out.

While today's ballots are being cast
and tabulated, Key Westers might devote
a little thought to the problem of provid-
ing the city with an adequate sewage dis
posGl system. 1t is to be hoped there is no
such stencil in the election as sometimes
assail. CUR IL tril3 in some sections of the
city.
At the present time the Beard of Pub
lie Works is moving steadily toward the
contamination of a plan to provide Key
West with sewer collection and sewage
disposal system. In cooperation with the
WPA it is engaged in laying sewer con-
nections in our streets that were not laid
at the time the main lines were put down.
Also, it IS going forward with plans to
oper the disposal plants, so as to give the
city modern, sanitary drainage, with no
insanitary by-products.
It is reported to The Citizen the sewer
connection project is meeting with some
opposition. Under a city ordinance, the
Board of Public Works is authorized to
assess each benefited property owner $40
as q sponsorship fund in procuring WPA
labor to lay the connections between the
street laterals and the curbs. This assess
n1ent IS being protested by some short
SIGHTED and tight-fisted property owners.
Their objections seem to be that the
civ should bear the entire burden OF
sponsorship and then collect the money in
u. regular manner on the tax bill; that
the entire cost of the connections should
hot nrnCpnt
septic tanks or drainage pits provide all
the sewage disposal needed at a particular
property.
Key West has no funds to sponsor
such project, for the reason that many of
the very directors to the connection prof.
ect never paid any taxes or only a small
portion of the taxes levied against their
properties.
Septic tanks, even though they be
new, do not provide sanitary disposal of
sewage They have to drain somewhere.
They drain into our underground water
reservoirs, the source of our we'll water.
Some wells test out chemically pure.
Others. if tested, would show the presence
of bacteria.
A modern, sanitary sewage system is
one of Key Vests greatest needs. Our
city officials should be firm in their treat
nsent Of those who object to the small ex-
pense involved in hooking our homes and
commercial buildings to the sewers laid
without cost by the federal government.
Our adequate city and state health reg
ulations should be invoked to force the
short-sighted and tight-fisted into COM
plying with an ordinance designed to pro-
tect this city against disease and cpl
demic.

BRITISH FLEET DIVIDED

1t is worth pointing out. especially to
those who think that the British navy is
incompetent, that in carrying out recent
operations around Norway the British used
only a small part of their fleet.
Much of British naval strength is con-
centrated for the purpose of preventing
German invasion of the Netherlands,
where bases for submarines and airplanes
would be a real threat to the British Isles.

Ethiopia's supposed great mineral
wealth, still being sought by Italian scien-

develop that Mussolini or rather the Italian

obtain great wealth which they needed
and "lebensraum" which they obviously
did not need or at least of which they did
not avail themselves.

PAVING PROJECT
NEARLY COMPLETE
North Fourth ReOpened From
Cowan To Baden; Clean
Up Requested

Work of paving North Fourth
and the entire street may be ready
to open Monday morning. J. E. l..
Wade, city commissioner of public
works, announced last night.
The street from Cowan to Baden
is now open, he said, and the inter.
section at Fourth and Bladen streets,
east and west, will be open this
morning to care for traffic going to
and from Calvary Baptist church.
1t is certain that the street from
Bladen to the north side Of the
Fourth street bridge will be open
Monday morning and it is possible,
he said, that the remainder, from the
south side of the bridge to Red Cross
street will be open at the same time.
Workmen, he said, ran out Of ma
terial, making it impossible to finish
a rs foot center strip at Fourth and
Red Cross, but it is anticipated some
other material may be placed there
and the street opened completely
Monday morning.
The street is AZ feet from curb to
curb, with a So foot asphalt center,
he said, just like Front street.
In announcing the opening Of the
street he called on the merchants on
North Fourth street to "clean up, put
in new fronts, remodel, and paint
their stores, remove all old display
signs and structures and put up
neon displays, all Of which should
