STILL NO MONEY

Key West city councilmen undoubt-
lie and private disapproval when they
quietly shelved the question of parking
lncters in committee.
The request of the public works office
for $500 to be spent on road repairs, heard
at the same meeting, must have made some
Of the counciImen wonder what Key West
is going to do for money, however, if some
thing of the kind is not adopted.
Holding no brief for the parking
meters and without information on the de-
tailed opinions of the coG1cilmen, it is still
hard to see how the council will replenish
the city treasury without taking an I'M
popular step in some direction.
Any kind of sales tax would be at least
as unpopular as the parking meters, and,
for that matter, any possible method of
raising revenue is not going to gain par
ticular favor among the people who have
to pay it. Life and taxes are like that,
though, and unfortunately neither COM
munities, nor counties, nor states, nor fed
eral governments have found way to
operate without money. ..1..sI .
The condition of many Key West
streetsis frankly terrible. The citypjap-'
parently hasn't the money for a compre
hensive program of improvement, and it,
must be remembered that the cost of street
repairs goes up as the condition of the
streets gets worse.
Parking meters and sales taxes, both
admittedly nuisances, are the twin children
Of the depression and they have proved to
be lifesavers for many communities which
otherwise couldn't collect enough money
to carry on. Their beauty lies in the fact
that in both cases, there is no possible de-
lay in collections.
Unless someone in Key West has bet
ter idea, one or the other is likely to land
here in the near future There doesn't seem
to be much choice.

CUBA TO GROW SILK

Cuba may develop a large silk indus
try, making the United States in time in
dependent of the Japanese product, &C
cording to a correspondent of the Christian
Science Monitor, who states that the prof.
ect has the strong support of President
Batista
The pioneer in the promotion of this
idea is Prof. Joseph Blanco. who for many
years has been student of the silk indus
try, and he will have charge of the entire
program of establishing the industry in
Cuba. He contends that the climate of the
island is the best in the world for the pur-
pose. and permits the growing of five crops
Of silk cocoons a year, while Japan grows
only three.
About three years ago Prof. Banco
persuaded President Batista to import null
berry tree seedlings from Japan, and these
have been planted at several hundred
rural schools, where children have been
taught to cultivate the silk worm Large
numbers of Cuban children have been
taught the rudiments of silk-maklng pro-
cesses. and their efforts are said to be
meeting with excellent success u
1t takes three years to grow the mul-
berry trees upon which the silk worms feed,
but the project is now well past the expert
mental stage. and its rapid development IS
expected.
While silk substitutes, such as nylon,
may be used for wearing apparel and many
other purposes. no synthetic material can
take the place of silk for certain military
uses. including the making of parachuteS'
and powder bags for the largest cannon.
The establishment of the silk industry in
Cuba will therefore be of great value to
that country. as we'll as to the United
States.
