Smathers Conferring With
Navy Officials On Key
West Water Crisis
Mayor Harvey
Comments
Senator For His
Prompt fiction

Senator George Smathers wired
Mayor CD, Harvey late yesterday
that re is comforting with high Ma
Wy officials in the nations capital
about the Key West water crisis.
The Senator wOred Harvey i'm
mediately after the Mayer explain
ed to him via long distance phone
the problems facing civilian Key
West with the eurtailed water sup
ply, which makes second-story ten
ants practically waterless,
81 certainly think Senator Smat-
hers is TO be commended unon his
prompt action" said Harvey.
The Senator said he is discussing
the possibilities of additional pump
ing station with the Navy in Wash
ington. He added that he will ad-
wise the Mayor of all developments.
All was too quiet on the rest Of
the water front of Key West. Flor
ida Keys Aqueduct Commission
manager Ernest Ramsey said he
had nothing new to report. Navy
officials had no further comment
at the present time. They stand
on their story which appeared in
Saturdays Citizen.
Meanwhile il seems that every
citizen in Key West has recon-
mendations for solution of the wa
ter crisis.
One well informed group who
prefer TO remain anonymous said.
why doesn't civilian Key West
switch over to the Navy system
and use salt water for toilet flush
ing instead Of the precious fresh
water"
Another bright suggestion came
from I. citizen Who said:
WHY NOT mobilize all the panna
bers In Key West TO fix up every
leaky faucet and toilet"
A rather precious suggestion
came from an unquotablc source.
He said:
We'll | guess we men should
sacrifice shaving. that uses water
and then all Of us can grow
boards. "
Key West would really look like
the lie I bank of the Seine. il the
boards start sprouting.
On the more serious side. the
majority of citizens and technical
experts alike agree that a boos.
ter pumping station is the number
one emergency need.
Mayor Harvey wired both Sena.
tor Smathers and Representative
Bill Lantaff asking them to re-
quest emergency Legislation in
Congress appropriating funds for
the needed pumping station.
That is the subject of conferen-
ces that Senator Smathers is hav
ing at present with Navy officials
in Washington. Key Westers wait
eagerly for word of success. Pro

Been Pressed In
Past Seren Years

City Commissioners un-
animousiy voice TO have
City Attorney III. lgnatius
Lester foreclose on parcels
of land that arc srrear in
old taxes in The amount OF
S25, 900.
Some of rhc land, cs-
pecialIy in the past wear
has become exceedingly
valuable.
Both the ATTORNEY and City
Tax Collector Archie Roberts
were of the opinion that bidding
would be brisk for these lands.
These property taxes are all
for l945 and years crevlous.
At the l945 public. sale of
land on the City Hall steps, for
some unknown reason certain
parcels of land were not pur-
chased. At the end of two years
those certificates still unpaid re-
verted to the City.
With the certificates in their
possession. no commission ma
jority of previous years pressed
application for a deed. and as a
result the land is still not in the
possession of the city. The taxes
are mounting on same.
City Commissioner Jack De-
laney was for scrutinizing the
list and not compelling those who
were poor to pay taxes. He told
of case during the State Muir
pfly Act when wosaGn with a
$40 monthly pension had her
home sold from under her.
Attorney M Ignatius Lester

The priest is the Rev. Richard

"He (Father Connelly) has left
an emptiness Cat the Industrial
SCHOOL, which will not soon be fill

was genuinely the minister of
Christ to all people.
He was a prominent leader in
the constructive enterprises of the
community. His many functions in
the city of Lancaster as the local
American Legion and Elks' chap

Asks For Aid
To Preserve

WASHINGTON - (NC) - A
plea to help the Byzantine Rite to
survive at least in the United
States. so that its priests and mis-
sionaries may one day take it back
to its native homeland has been
made TO the Bishops of Arferire
by Auxiliary Bishop Ambrose

cannot help but realize that the

He added that 'the communists

Catholic institutions which flour

Bishop Senyshyn recalled that
Catholics fled their homes and
possessions in the Western Ukraine
in 1941, taking temporary refuge
in Germany to escape the goddess
atheism imposed upon their coma
tionals in Greater Ukraine. The
agreement made at Yalta, he said,
would have forced repatriation of
all Ukranian Catholics which meant
death, or at best slow starvation at
forced labor. In this extremity, he
said, the Ukrainian Catholics ap-
pealed to the American Catholic
Hierarchy, and "due to Gods help
and to great extent the timely
intervention of certain distinguish
