Because of its detachment from
the city proper, Poinciana Place,
Key Vests beauty spot, is likely
to get a school house, a fire sta
ton and a police station, accord
ing to information that was given
Clarence Higgs by a representa-
tive of the Federal Works Agency.
MIR. Higgs was taking the rep
resentatiye TO various parts of the
city to note Improvements that
are needed. When they stopped
at Poinciana Place, he inquired
about the number of families that
are residing there, and MIR. Higgs
replied about 700.
In that event the represen-
tative said, cit is safe to say that
600 to 700 children of school age
reside in Poinciana Place, and
they should be given a school
house OF their own. And Poin-
ciana Place, because of its dis
lance from the city proper, should
by all means, have fire protection
in its immediate vicinity and
probably a police station also"
Mr.. Higgs said he thought &C
ton should. be taken now on the
matter, instead of waiting till the
war is over, and the representa-
tive continued:
"Of course it should be taken
now. You should bear in mind
that Key West is an important de-
Tense area, and has been SO de-
clared by the government You
should keep in mind also, in ask
ing for these projects, that the

VOTER SURPRISED
AT LITTLE WORK
DONE BY SOLONS
ATTENDANT IN SENATE GAL
LERIES WONDERS WHAT
MEMBERS GET PAID FOR
DURING SESSIONS
BY JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, June 4.-He
was just voter. For several days
he had clomped up the worn steps
to the House and Senate galleries
to see what goes on in Congress.
He was coming down at 2:45
p. m, after a two-and-a-half hour
session of the House at which one
important vote had been taken.
when | met him in the great arch
ed corridor that leads to the Sem
ate side. He was filled with dis
gust.
Say he said. tell me what
these Congressman do to earn
their pay. There wasn't any
session yesterday. They worked
only two and half hours to-
day, passed one bill on voice
vote that sounded to me like a
photo-finish land adjourned for
four days.
And why do the. House and
Senate practically never meet
before noon? Are they all such
late risers. that they can't get to
work before midday"
Those questions nave been
asked often. The answer Is
simply that what goes on on The
floor of ConpfeSs is nnly 2 n.nll
fraction of members work
This is strictly. window-dreSSing,
It's for the record"
Congress operates on a commit
tee system. Almost every member
of Congress is a member of from
one to nine committees and the
committees do the work. Ordi-
narily they meeta at 10 a. m, or 2
p. m, which just gives the COM
mittee members time TO clear their
voluminous mail get through a
few sessions with visiting consti-
tuents, prepare speeches, and at
tend a luncheon And the COM
mittees don't have the pleasure
of any two-and-a-half hour ses-
sions when they are working on a
bill, or conducting an investiga-
ton.
For example, the House Ways
and Means committee struggled
for weeks over the Ruml plan and
various other measures to get the
public on pay-as-you-go income
tax payments. Finally it gave up,

bill tthe Democrats. of course, are

transition. most important part

APPEARS JONES
WILL GET ASST.
ATTORNEYSHIP
MILLEDGE SUBMITTED APP
POINTMENT TO SENATE AT
LAST DAY OF SESSION. IN
COMPLIANCE WITH LAW

II has turned out just as The
Citizen said it would: State At
torney Elect Stanley Milledge
will make a recess appointment of
his assistant in Key West. and
Henry Jones, who is an attorney
in the rent-control office in Key
West, will get the appointment.
In order to comply with the law.
Mr.. Milledge submitted the APP
pointment to the senate yesterday,
which was the last day it was an
session. The senate neither CON
firmed nor rejected the appoint
ment, though its not acting on 1T
was virtual rejection. However,
the presentation alone kept Mr..
Milledge within the law. and he
has free hand now to name his
Key West assistant at large for the
next two years.
Had Mr. Milledgc failed to nomi-
nate his assistant and present hrs
name TO the senate, he could not
have made a recess appointment.
and ]. Lancelot Lester, the incum-
bent. would have continued TO
serve in his capacity as assistant
state attorney till such time as the
senate acted ON the matter in l945.
II is now considered a foregone
conclusion that Mr.. Milledge. with
the 1913 legislature having ad-
journed. will name MIR. Jones as
Sistant state attorney in Key
West.
