City Manager o. ]. S. Filing
son also pointed out that the per-
mission given the city by the
Navy is subject to termination
without notice at any time. May
or Demeritt said he had not
checked the area to see if it
would interfere with the MUM
cipal golf course either but he ia
vored Cooper's motion to pledge
no negotiations with other parties
pending further action. The mo-
ton was carried without opposi-
ton. ..l
D., The matter originally came up
when a resolution was offered to
give Neil Saunders, sign painter,
permission to erect a row of sign
boards between the highway and
the dump for a four-year period.
! A letter was read Immediately
from Mrs. Eva Navarro, president
of the Key West Woman's Club,
strongly opposing signboardS and
suggesting a row of trees be
planted to screen the area from
! the road.
Cleare then spoke on the dog
track. He had a large drawing Of
the proposed track which IS at
tractively designed, and said Mi
ami Beach architects are work
ing on plans. The attorney said
that he will go to Tallahassee
June 2 to apply to the Racing
| Commission for dog track per-
NIT. Lyman, Cleare said, has de-
posted $4,000 with the county for
an election on the question If the

and he have not yet determined
the extent of the lease which
would be granted. Lester said
it might be possible to grant one
for 30, 80 years or possibly even
to sell the property. Cleare saio
lone-term lease with option to
buy is preferred.
Cleare explained that his
client has examined the entire 70
acre property and found 1t would
he very agreeable" to his pur'
nose He predicted the track
would be a revenue producer tol
the local governments. 1t will also
afford employment to many PEG

attorney asked the city for {
nhotostatic copy of the site t(
take with him to Tallahassee ant
for few days in which ne ane
Lester can determine what torn
