THIS ROCK OF OURS
BY BILL GrBB

Yesterday we examined facts
which would indicate that Sweet
ing's Garage gets the majority of
City wrecking calls because of
twenty-four hour, dependable SER
vice. Some of his competitors
agreed that there were no political
'he-lns' and that they did not want
the business. The actual physical
evidence regarding jammed con-
ditions of his parking lots and the
length of time which some of these
make it appear that Sweeting
stands to lose money in the long
run by accepting the City's storage
business.
Sweeting himself, says: 81 store

the public might have gained. But
we still haven't touched the heart
of the problem namely, what is
the solution with regard to aban-
doned cars and win the twenty-four
hour ordinance be practical?
Common Practice
Practically all communities have
found it necessary to enact rules
or laws with regard to neglectful
property owners. There is no ques-
ton but that the City of Key West
should make every attempt to keep
streets clear of unsightly wrecks
that often provide a traffic hazard
as well. This column has advocated
such a policy in the past. How
ever, the twenty-four period doesn't
seem practical.
Any car that presents a traffic
hazard should be lowed away i'm
mediately. In all other cases,
twenty-four hours is too short Of a
period to tell whether a car Is

if they enforce the ordinance, won't
have time to pay attention to their
other law enforcement duties.
City Manager Dave King says
that definite period of time had
to be stated in the ordinance but
that pick-ups would only be made
after all efforts had failed to
locate the owner. I think Kings
intentions are fine.
There are any number Of vehicles
parked on our streets which are
not abandoned but are in the pro-
cess of being stripped or repaired
and are creating hazards. In most
cases these belong to Key Westers
and, like any other small com.
munity, there is q general reluc-
lance to make trouble for our
neighbors. The new ordinance viii
do nothing toward solving this pro-
blem.
Storage Facilities
Key West needs to provide ifs
own facilities for storing wrecks
and abandoned automobiles. Jam
ming up the area around City Hall
certainly does not provide a pretty
sight for tourists or residents.
Stock Island seems to be the
only place with available land for
a parking lot. However, such an
out-of-the-way location presents the
inevitable problem Of coping with
thieves. The entire situation is
much more complicated than sur
face conditions would indicate. Our
City Fathers and Dave King are
doing their best but / imagine they
would appreciate any constructive
suggestions from the public.
Public Safety Director
The vandals and providers Of our
town have proved one point be-
yond a doubt. They regard the
police force with contempt.
Dave King has attempted TO full
fill the office of Public Safety
Director but the man is human
and there Is . limit to the amount
of work that he can do.
It would seem to me that our
police department would function
better II it was headed by .
Public Safety Director who would
rule with an iron fist.
