Save Your Tax Gripes
For This Committee
Residents of Key West and
Monroe county in general may nc
afforded an opportunity sometime
in April to give vent to their
gripes about state taxes. And
what's more, their listeners will
have receptive ears.
A 15-man committee has been
appointed by Governor Caldwell
to study the present tax strucutce
and make recommendations for
changes that will benefit all cor
cerned. The committee has been
instructed to visit cities all over
the state during April to hea.'
what the people have to say about
present and future taxes.
Already the Florida Taxpayers
Association has charged that some
members of the committee are
pledged in advance to recon.
mend a state sales tax" and has
asked the governor to investi-
gate.
Privately the governor has said
he believes the sales tax is the
"faIrest of all taxes" but fought
against it during his campaign
for election. Advocates of tha
sales tax claim it is ideal as a
replacement tax and that il
would allow the elimination of
many nuisance" taxes
The taxpayers association says
it fears the governors attitude
toward the sales tax and believes
he would give. active support tc
a recommendation by the tax re-
vision committee for this form Of
taxation. The association declares
the state treasury is now bullying
with surplus funds and that q
state sales tax is not necessary.
One hundred percent assess
rnent of property would make W.
for the loss of state revenue caus-
ed by the homestead exemption
act, the association says.
At any rate, taxpayers of this
county will have a chance to ex-
press their pros and cons about
all forms of taxation when the
governors special tax COMMITTEES

A menace to the lives of Key
West pedestrians is the ever-pres-
ent number of speed demons on
our streets. Most of these Barney
O'Fields are youngsters. Without
necessary instructions for sane
driving, they develop their own
methods of lodging through traf-
&c and cutting corners-and they
certainly are original. Usually,
they get where they're going
and fast-but not before dislocat-
ing the hearts of many.
Now here's swell idea from
South Carolina. At tit would

fore the youthful drivers ventur-

that the state is now planning to
make driving courses a required
part of high school currieulums.

troll division of the state highway

ies. hle

OLD AND THE NEW

Usually we keep things in our
mind which we cannot under
stand and turn the problems over
and over again and pull them
apart to see what makes them
tick inside, much like old fash
Toned pull candy, until finally
what the situation really repre-
sents comes to our mind clearly
There is one point in KeysVsgt
which comes to mind clearly
right now and that is the 60 get
tiveness of the Key West merch-
ant. Once upon a time there was
a great deal of defeatisms among
Key West merchants both be
cause of little profits and con,
trolls exerted upon them. Those
were days in which many young
Key West boys moved away tC
other cities and even now are
established elsewhere. There was
talk then of Key West going back
to a small fishing village. How.
ever, these were not unhappy
days, Thus segregated from the
world Key Westers lived close to
each other and they had a charm
and friendlinesS which was the
marvel of all visitors here. 1t viii
take many years of big-city so
phistication and civilization tC
rub this out entirely. Many of u;
are sorry now to see it lesSened al
present.

YACHT BASIN DRIVEWAY

they went.
YACHT BASIN DRIVEWAY
Was asking Robert Dopp the
other day why the city used the
mari pit out at the city dump in
stead of using the roadway out
at Garrison Blight and dredge
mari out there as the WPA
groups did years ago. Dopp re-
piled that the present equipment
was not too well suited for that
type of work at this time and
that large areas of mud would
have to be dredged out perhaps
to reach the mari. He said that
the principal pressing need for
the city at present was securing
mari quickly and placing it in
the streets which are being re-
paired. Thought along this line
was to have the area dredged out
for yachts and other small boats
to use. The lands are being
purchased by the city and will
be leased to the person with the
best proposition for Yacht Har
Dor. Talking to Tom Wilson again
yesterday and was told that he
is planning to place a large mari
fill alongside the Boulevard over
which cars could turn off in al
driveway and persons visit the
piers which will jut out from the
fill. This Yacht Basin then will
look much like the Yacht Basin
when it was down at the Sub
BaSei Wilson said it would be-
better if the city did not take
iii out, of the Blight at this time
Since it will be needed to make /
the fill roadway. All this, Of |
course, if city gives him lease.
