enough votes to maintain his

Vets Brave Coolest Night
Hold Places In Sale Line

Some 80 veterans of World Wal
III braved the coolest weather OF
the winter last night to assure
themselves of choice positions in
line when the War Assets Ad-
ministration sale of surplus auto
motive vehicles went on sale this
morning.
The vets were equipped with
blankets and cots. They hao
much praise for Jack Saunders
county service officer, who made
two or three trips during the
night to see if everything was
i"O-kay".
Blaz HollOman of Miami, Num-
Der l8 in line, said some of the
veterans had been in line for two
days. After the sale commenced
at IL am. and the veterans had
begun to see how the sale was
being conducted, Hollomon said:
This is the fairest and squar-
est surplus property sale I've seen
in Florida. Everything was han
died efficiently and fairly, thanks
to much degree to Jack Saun-
ders." Hollomon said this was
the seventh sale he has attended
and few were handled as well as
this one.

Roberts Explains
Expected Meter
Revenue OF $500

City Comptroller Finance Di-
rector Charles Roberts explained
today why $500 is listed in the
anticipated l947 revenue estimate
read to the City commission
Tuesday night.
At the meeting Commissioner
Louis Carbonell questioned
whether that amount could be
realized in one year from the
parking meters. City Manager o.
j. S. Ellingson replied that the
estimate was made by Roberts.
When Carbonell explained that
the amount would be even low
err when the new meters are in
stalled and the city then gets
only so percent of the receipts,
Ellingson, nodded, and said,
That's right"
The city manager did not ex-
plain that Roberts had advised
him in a letter dated December
Is, 1916 that a provision should
be made in the l947 budget for
the payment of $3.50 on the pur-
chase price of the parking meters,
or one-half of the estimated
receipts. In fact, the budget APP
parently does not include such
an item.
IF this procedure had been
followed" Roberts explained,
The city would actually have
available for current operating
purposes only $3.50 of the esti-
mated parking meter receipts.
IF the payment to the parking
meter company has not been pro-
vided in the budget, Roberts con-
tinued then the $4,000 receipt
item is an overstatemet of anti
cipated revenue by approx
mately $3.50 and will result in
the budget literally being pad
ded.
In other words, it was pointed
out, if the city manager did not
put the $3.50 item in the budget
as Roberts recommended then he
should have reduced the $500
figure to $3.50.
Roberts said he based his park
ing meter estimate on average
receipts of $50 per month since
installation or for IL months,
$6840.
II consider $4,000 con-
sentative estimate" the Finance
Director said based of course,
on the nickel parking meters.
