rendered unable to maintain
themselves here in the limited in
dustry of the city. The training
and the economical record of the
base will also be mentioned.
Plans for the forthcoming Hal
loWe'en dance on Oct. 81 were
discussed and Jack Murray, chair
man of the committee, reported
that only costumed dancers will
be admitted to the affair. He
urged the members. to prepare
their costumes early as a large
crowd is expected to attend, caus-
ing a possible shortage in the
costume materials here in the
city. Amy effort expended along
the lines of originality in the
costume will be well rewarded
as valuable prizes are being Of
fered.
The ACCESSIBILITY of contribut-
ing to a Jaycee athletic scholar
ship at the University of Florida
was discussed and the matter was
referred to the Sports commit
tee for study. 1t is believed that

At the regular weekly meeting
of the Key West Junior Chamber
of Commerce, held at County
Clinic Auditorium last night, the
secretary was asked to write let
tiers voicing indignation over the
adverse publicity given Key
West during the past stormy
weather by the various syndicat-
ed news services.
According to some of the re-
ports, the city was under six feet
of water and suffered untold
damages. Reports of this sort
make the headlines of out-of-
town papers and the later cor
rected versions are stuck away in
obscure sections in subsequent
city editions, if at all, it was
pointed out.
The secretary was also ordered
to write a letter to the Secretary
of the Navy, with copies to the
congressional repre- e n tatives
from this district, telling him of
rumors rampant in the city re-
garding still another layoff in the
civilian personnel at the Subma-
rine Base. 1t will be pointed out
in the letter that a large per-
centage of the base employees are

Ellingson Still Plans 10
Radio-Equip Police Cars

. Manager EllingSon, when asked
whether a replacement will be
appointed to the police force to
take the place of Patrolman
Gutierrez, resigned, stated, 1--WE
will select one if we think the
man is needed. I expect, when
sufficient plans have been
readied, to recommend to the
city commi ners the
installation of radio control on
police cars and some fire trucks"
1t will then be up to the commits
sioners to approve or diSapprove
the City Managers recommended
tionS.
Plans which Ellingson is con-
sidering recommending to the
commissioners, would be an ex-
penditure of about $4,000 for the
placing of radio equipment in
City Hall, with an expenditure
of approximately 5000 for each
car that would be radio equip
ped.
It is q known fact that the
installing of this equipment
will mean a reduction in the
police force of four or five po-
licemen. otherwise the expen-
diture would hardly be justi-
fled. In an interview given
The Citizen on September 7. il
was stated: "Equipping police
cars with radio will not bring
about the discharge of police
men," Ellingson. at that time
added: 1T Is true that when
the patrol cars are radio equip
ped, should a policeman sever
his services with the city, re-
placement probably will not be
hired. unless deemed necessary
at the time"

Percentage or Arbitrary Basis
Discussed For Key West Zoning
CITY OFFICIAL TO-DAY
CITED SPECIFIC UN-
FAIR CASE IN CUES
TON

In the City Managers office to-
day, city official brought up the
matter of coming. Said this man
to Ellingson, "Most cities work on
a percentage figure, while in Key
West a set arbitrary figure has
been given" This arbitrary zon-
ing is Intentionally good, es-
pecially in any new section of a
city like, say, the Miami Shores
area of Miami, but Key West is
an old city and some of its con-
is over 100 years old.
ITO set a definite figure and
disregard construction on a
percentage basis as is done in
so per cent of the cities in the
United States. works a parti-
cular hardship on old cities.
To prove a point" the city Of
fetal added. there is a prop
ertY owner on a corner of Pc
tronia street. who is DESTROYS of
erecting a private garage on a !.
piece of property that is rs feet
wide. Now" concluded the Of
fetal when this property own
er gets through complying with
the arbitrary figures as set by
the coming code. he would be
allowed to build a garage that
would not adequately house a
small piano"
This property owner" the city
said, 'is being assessed
taxes by both the city and coun-
ty, and yet he can not make any
use of his property at all. This is
unfair, and the code should be
amended"
Ellingson took his aides ar
gument and then replied that
the coming code would have to
be enforced as it is. for. he said.
construction is not, alone the
sole purpose of the ordinance.
but that it is also done for
health and fire protection. 1T
is unconstitutional" said the
City Manager, TO dictate the
cost of construction. but as 10
coming. that has been upheld
by The courts. What fairness
would il be for. say six. tiny
dwellings TO be erected on
pint sized lots to the detriment
of the resident owner who has
an average home. which would
be the result were the arbitrary
figures changed TO percent
age basis"
Ellingson added to The Citizen
reporter that the coming code IS
regulated by the City Planning
Board consisting of all the COM
missioners and himself, and they
in turn appoint a city planning
commission of local citizens to do
the work that the Board is
with.
At any rate, there the discus
sion ends. One school of thought
holds that Key West, being an old
city. is not adaptable to an ar
bitrary coming code, while the
opposite thought is that should
the percentage basis be used, Key
West. whether old or newly con-
structed, would be better off.
