BERNSTEIN EXPLAINS

Editor, The Citizen:
want TO thank you very much
for your help in publicizing the
whole matter of the rezoning at
tempt that is being made in the
area that / want to put up the
apartment house.
just received the April 3 copy
of The Citizen and would like to
answer "the high city officials"
l. l never had a chance to APP
pear at the preliminary hearings
to raise any objection to the pro-
posed rezoning. The first that
knew about this is when I read
the notice in The Citizen of
March 9, that the final hearing
would be on April 3. l immedi-
ately flew down to find out what
it was all about.
2. l prepared sketches and
floor plans to show all interested
parties that what / had in mind
was a beautiful structure and
not a "honkey-tonk."
l had the land surveyed and
ordered a set of regular building
plans to submit to the State Ho-
tel Commission for their permit
which is a prerequisite to get
ting the building permit from the
City of Key West. These were al
most finished before the hearing
was held. This was rather an
arbitrary decision, because !
understand that legally, I am
within my rights the way things
stand now, to apply and get the
permit.
j did approach several at
torneys and was advised that
while they all felt that l was
very much entitled to a permit,
they did not want to go out
against the group that wanted to
push the rezoning through
3. / am ready, Immediately, to
have the plans finished and to
submit them for approval and to
start building, if I am assured
that l will get the building per-
nit. There is a considerable ex-
pense attached to having plans
made; this should assure them
of my sincerity, but if they want
me to put up a bond that l will
start building within six months,
/ will go to that expense and
give them that assurance. If they
don't delay me any further,
hope to have the building COM
pleted in six months.
In reference to the big fuss
they are making about the For
Sale" signs on the property, they
will be there, even after the
building is up. | am not using
all of the lots. and they know it.
There are and will be several
lots for sale.
This also answers MIR. Harvey's
question about parking accomo-
dations for the occupants of the
apartments Parking accomoda-
tons will be provided for on the
adjacent property.
All / want now is the Ego
ahead" sign from whoever is
holding me up.
Thank you again for your CO.
operation.
Very truly yours,
BEN BERNSTEIN.
Brooklyn, N. Y.

Two games will be played
on Sunday May %, 1850. The
first Of these games will be be-
tween the unbeaten Comman-
does and their rival, the Hurl-
ers; the second will be the
Browns and Don @. The
Giants will meet the Tigers at
Bethlehem on the same day
also.
The big question among ball
players and others interested
in the game is Can the Hurl-
ers beat the Commanders
Will the Browns Lose Again."
1t will take a great deal of
crystal gazing to answer in
the affirmative. Therefore, we
can try to make a comparison
between the teams and see
what they have. Let us take
the Hurlers, and we see that
Manager Petersen has a good
group Of boys, the majority Of
them quite young, but have
what it takes to win a ball
game. In the pitching section,
there are Plaskett, modest but
goo d; Williams, erratic at
times, but very fast, and G.,
Petersen with his effective
curves, and in a pinch A Peter
sen (the catcher) has a good
ball to come in as a relief. Be
hind the plate, there is Peter
sen and he is well known by
this time for his good perfor-
nance in that section. If he is
out, Morris will substitute and
he is not bad at all. The boys
in the infield can we'll defend
that section, with special men
ton being made of the short
stop; and while the others are
good in the outfield, especial
mention must be made Of
young Bowling for his bril-
liant performance. At bat
these boys are good, but there
are times when the best play
ers pust cant make the grade,
and Of course this club is no
exception.
The Commanders while they
occupy the lead in the league,
have not demonstrated better
playing than some Of the other

clubs, but they are in the lead,
