QUESTIONS ON PIPE LINE

Editor, The Citizen
$4,000 100000 for a water line
There question to the necessity for this COM
munty and the county for having independent water
line and source of it's But let's look at this PROPOSE
ton from the taxpayers standpoint.
When was the last time freeholders had voice in
matters concerning the Florida Aqueduct Commits
sion?
the freeholder is to vote yes for multi-million
dollar project he should least have had the oppor-
tuny of voting for the commissioners advocating such
an expensive project
Once had financial interest in the present water
line and it sold out to the Navy There still remains
100000 debt for one never satisfied with the
reasons given for this sell-out.
Now the freeholders asked and even urged to
vote Eyes" this proposal Naturally is being pushed
at this time while the present appointed members are
still on the Florida Aaueduct Commission Board
If this proposal should be voted in the freeholders
of Monroe County will have the dubious satisfaction of
helping mmeasurably in the development of the keys
with huge debt $50 and possibility of appreciable
returns In other words they will be making possible
for large land further develop their properties
and sell out at fantastic prices at OF the
sent water consumer and freebooter.
What will the present water consumer and freehold
ar get in return? The strong possibility Of ad valorem
taxes - that's all.
