TO BASEBALL FANS

Editor, The Citizen
l am writing this letter because
l think that it is about time that
someone came out and said what
l am going to state in this letter.
Ever since l was a little boy l
have always heard that Key West
was going to build a good baseball
park. Up to this time it has new
er been built. Also l have heard
a lot of aged men talk about
when Key West had all the cigar
factories and ships coming here.
Those days, Key West really had
some good baseball teams with eX-
cellent players. They had their
ideas of having a baseball park,
but, as you can see, we still do
not have one.
Anywhere you go you will find
good baseball parks. Even in
towns much smaller than Key
West have the advantage of pos
SeSSlng a ball park These ball
parks were obtained because the
city and its members got togeth-
er and sought ways of securing
the money to build them.
In the paper, all you can read
about is where the city is going
to spend money for lot of things
that they could do without. What
are we paying taxes for? The
streets aren't IN too good shape;
that is costing the city so much.
If the city doesn't do anything
about securing a baseball park
why don't the baseball fans do
something like the VFW did? They
certainly made a lot off Of that
I'm sure that the business eStab-
lishmentS in Key West would give
donations to such a worthy cause
If we had a decent baseball
park, it would give a little more
life to Key West Teams from
other states would be willing to
come down here to play and the

Plays aftermath
y Echoes PIaudits

To the acclaim of another full
house, Might of January 18th,
produced by the Key West Play
ers, concluded its four-day run
Thursday night. Naval orders for
Capt. Carl Johnson, executive Of
ficer of the Submarine Base, and
District Attorney in the court
room drama by Ayn Rand, had
caused the Players some time
ago to plan only for a four-day
run.
Members of the Players were
pleased at the compliments hand
ed the organization. Mr.. and Mrs.
David Gill, inveterate theatre
goers from New York City, told
Mrs. Burt Garnett, wife of the
president of the Players, that the
performance of the play on We'd
nesday night would have done
credit to Broadway.
Wednesday was the night
when the jury, selected from the
audience, brought in a verdict of
guilty for Karen Andre, the de
PENDANT accused of numbering
her lover-employer Bjorn Faux
ner.
The jury consisted of a num-
Der of Key West business people,
two Navy wives, an out-of-town
visitor and Thurlow Gordon,
Navy chaplain. Key Westers on
the jury, which repeatedly voted
8 to 4 for convicting Karen MRS
Lee Pollock of first degree muir
der were Hy Altman, Sam Sill
verman, Helen Gutter, Eileen
Williams, Minnie Porter Harris
and Howard Wilson.
Officials Of the stage group
pointed out that the program was
in error in naming Jack Nolen
as stage director, a task actually
performed by Joseph Lazarovici.
The two prompters also deserved
especial mention, Mrs. Oliver
Griswold and Mrs. George Mills
White, whose names were omit
ted from the program.
Among the distinguished per
sons who saw the play was Ten
nessee Williams, author of Glass
Menagerie" one of the most sue
cessful Broadway plays of recent
years, who attended Wednesday,

Roberts Hits Aqueduct Commission
But Advises City Pay Hydrant Rent

The action Of the City Commits
sion last week in voting against
payment of $7,579.l5 to the Flor
Ida Keys Aqueduct Commission
drew a comment from City FL
nance Director Comptroller
Charles Roberts today that he did
not believe the two commission
ers who voted against the pay
ment had been adequately in
formed of the financial relation
ship between the city and the
commission. tcty
Roberts returned to his desk on
a halliday basis today after con-
valeScing from a prolonged ILL
ness which began Nov. IL. Com
missioners Louis Carbonell and
Hunter Harden voted against
making the payment which is
the ueduct Commissions
rental charge for 1916 hydrant
use. Unanimous approval OF the
commission was necessary since
the payment came under an en-
Urgency measure.
The Finance Director stated
outright that the service OF the
Aqueduct Commission has not
been adequate" he pointed out
that at least one home was de-
stroyed by fire, largely because
one of the Commissions hydrantS
failed to function, and said there
were other instances of poor
service or defective hydrantS.
Could Not Collect 1000
In view of the inadequacy of
the Aqueduct Commissions serv-
ice" he said II doubt that it
could collect its debt from the
city on a 100 per cent basis if 1t
should become matter for the
courts to decide"
Nevertheless, Roberts went on.
the 1916 rental should have been
authorized by the Commission.
He said he had conferred with
Ernest A. Ramsay, general man
ager of the commission, only
week before last regarding the
hydrant rental and Roberts had
agreed that the city pay the
amount If satisfactory to the
commission"
Roberts explained that the to-
tai debt which the city owes the
commission is now $2l. 291.71 and
that if this $7,579.l5 item is paid,
he has reason to believe 1.-The city
will greatly benefit. 1t is also bet
TEL" he concluded, Ito avoid a
court action"
ls4l Agreement Explained
The city agreed on September
4. l94l, to pay $50 per year per
hydrant, to the commission. On
December q, Ramsay wrote to
the city manager asking pay
ment of the 1916 rental. On jan
uary 10 counsel for the commits
sion wrote another letter, en-
closing a letter from the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation in
Washington drawing attention of
the Aqueduct Commission to the
unsatisfactory condition of the
City of Key Vests account with
the Commission and urged the
Commission ito take such effec-
tive measures as may be neces-
sary."
On January %, the Commits
sion attorney wrote the city man
ager, threatening possible court
action" and saying it would be
most unfortunate for all con-
cerned" if the Commission were
forced to get a court order"
Although Roberts expressed
sharp criticism of the original
agreement between the city and
the Aqueduct Commission, moth
ing would be gained, he said, by
not paying the 1916 hydrant
rental in fact, he said, lit would
be to the city's benefit" to pay it.
