Housing PROJECT Operators
Protest Tax Assessments

LesSees VIII
Ste The City

An about legal battle is
shaping up between the city
of Key West and the opera
tors of Peary Court and Sigs-
bee Park Naval Housing pro-
jects, stemming from the
city's refusal to reduce tax
assessments for the units.
Joseph DAWN and attor-
ney Edward Clark appeared
last night before the Equal
cation Board on behalf of
Stockton, Whatley and Dav-
in, Inc, who operate the pro-
ject and fought unsuccessful
ly for a reduction in their
1868 tax assessment. Clark
said that they will resort to
the courts to test the validity
of the assessment.
The two projects built on govern
ment land by group of corpora
tons and operated for the Navy
by Stockton, Whatley, DAWN and
Company.
The total value Of the two pro-
jects was set for tax purposes by
City Tax Assessor Sam Pinder, Jr.
at 81, 700, 900. This figure is but q
per cent Of the amount of the mort
gage which is held against the
property, he pointed out. That per-
centage is customary in such situa-
tons where the property is leased
and not owned BY the taxpayer.
Other real estate In the city is
normally assessed at a rate Of 20
per cent of its valuation.

years eify tax rate OF Is mills
the yield from the property
would be ahouf $4,000. The
counfy's assessment, according
10 . reliable source, Is expected
TO be The same as HE eitY's.
But the last nights petition ask
ed that the valuation be slashed so
that they would pay only $32,5O0 to
the city in taxes and a like amount
to the county. The company claims
that they will have just $500 this
year for tax purposes. To date,
only 5Il2 Of that amount Is on
hand, they pointed out.
Basis for their petition for relief.
outlined in an 11-point brief filed
before the board, was the fact that
the property was valued too high.
Further, they stipulated. the city
has no legal right to levy taxes
against the property for a number
of reasons.
The property Is owned by the
government and the petitioners
stated that their only interest In
it is a long term lease, after which
both OF the projects win revert to
federal ownership. DAWN also
maintained that the city has no
jurisdiction since the property is
not legally within the city limits.

Governor Kills Papy's

McC Carly Declares
In Veto Statement

State Representative Papy's bill
to halt the growth of the Ever.

Dan McCarty who scored it in a
detailed message, the APP said to-
day.
Rep. Papy could not be reach

McCarty said that the Supreme

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-Chico
Vejar, the ex-commuter from
Stamford, Conn, is a soldier now
and he was explaining how he is
able to box while in the Army.
He sat on a bench at Stillman's
gym, taplng his hands while he
waited his turn in the training
ring.
Its a general rule that covers
all professional athletes in serv-
ice," he said. IF the general
authorizes it, a boxer or wrestler
can take a match on leave. A
baseball player or a football
player can't do it because he's no
good to the team for just one
game. But it's all right for an in
dividual sport like boxing or
wrestling"
While Chico talked, Freddie
Brown, his trainer, kept pulling
a towel up around his neck.
The towel kept falling down and
Freddie kept putting it back.
Vejar told how he is trainer
coach of boxing at Fort Ben
ming, Ca, where there are about
II pro fighters among 10000
troops.
There's nothing much around
there for about 100 miles and
nothing to do. Every Tuesday
night they have fights and about
$500 will be there. There isn't
room for any more.
"We got a commission and
everything. They argue for hours
if one guy weighs a half-pound
more than the other. They make
him take it off, too, or no fight.
"They have the greatest anna
teur matches I ever saw. Real
brawls. They got system. No.
4 fighters, No. 3 fighters and on
down to No. /. If a fellow has
two or three good wins, he moves
up. If he loses two or three,
they don't mess around. He's
out. A fighter goes about once
every three weeks, working three
rounds.
"They have regiment cham
pions, post champions, Sd >Army
champions. And then finally
the All-Army champions at
Fort Monmouth IN. J.)."

to get him into the ring for

ability to grasp the spirit of
the past. His etched cathe-
dralS became symbols of the
religious faith that inspired
them, his old houses seemed
to reflect the people who had
first lived In them. He ex-
pressed his own feeling
vividly in the above men
toned essay for the Albany
Print Club, concerning his
etching, The Old Order"
Along (the road are the

so sadly needs the beauty and
the peace, and the stability of
basic, simple things"
Despite his passion for the
medieval period, Mr.. Arms
made many prints of con-
temporary themes. He cap
tured the grandeur of New
York's skyscraperS, bridges
and industrial buildings. His
love of the sea resulted in two
series of ship plates: historic
types in the 1920s and an i'm
pressive series on the Navy
during World War II. Ameri-
can landscape etchings, birds
and flowers in color aqua
tint, a handsome engrav-
ing of Man O. War;" a famous
horse of 80 years ago-these
and other subjects bear wit
ness to the wide range of his
interests.
A tall, handsome, genial
man, John Taylor Arms had
the kind of personality that
turns admirers into devoted
friends. He was generous in
his relation to others in the
same field. Miss Parker said
he had "a strong sense of OBJ
legation toward his fellow ar
tists," and quoted A. Hyatt
Mayor, curator of prints at
the Metropolitan Museum of
Art. as having described him
as "the most air-minded
judge of works of art Il

TOHN TAYLOR ARMS,
whose death october 13
was an inestimable loss to the
print world, is commemorated
with a small retrospective
group of etchingS on view in
the gallery of the American
Institute of Architects, 1875
New York avenue NV, in
conjunction with the current
exhibition of the Society of
Washington Printmakers.
A native Washingtonian,
Mr.. Arms won international
fame with his etchings, and
was widely regarded as the
dean of American print
makers, although he was but
66 this year. The awards and
honorS he received here and
abroad, the important mu-
seumS and other permanent
collections which own ex-
amples of his work, and the
foremost professional organi-
cations of the United States,
Canada, Britain and France,
which elected him to member

longest entries in who's
Who"
But Mr.. Arms was not i'm
pressed. In an essay for the
Albany Print Club a few years
ago, he wrote, in part: Nor
can 1t be of the least conse-
quence what be the biographi-
cal facts of the authors life,
or the record of his achieve
ments, If any"
Mr.. Arms was born here
April 10, 1887. He went to
Lawrenceville IN. j. School
in his midteens, attended
Princeton University for two
years, got his MA. at Boston
Tech, practiced architecture
for five years in New York,
served in the Navy during
World War /, and thereafter
devoted his career to print
making, living in New York
and Fairfield, Conn.
But he always maintained
ties with Washington. He was
an active member of the So
ciety of Washington Print
m a kerS, the Washington
Water Color Club and the
Miniature Painters, Sculptors
and Gravers' Society. His most
industrious association in re-
cent years was with the Lii
