Looks Remote
Commission Defers
Action On 3O.EOOt
Setback Ordinance

Any early possibility that
Truman Ave. will be widen
ed was d e a 1t a probable
death blow last night when
the city commission deferred
action on an ordinance es-
tablishing a 30-foot setback
there from Palm Ave. to
Whitehead st.
City Manager Victor Lang had
recommended the ordinance to pre-
vent further building on Truman
Ave. until a study of the possibili-
ty of constructing a four lane high
way is completed. ..
S0-Foof Righf-ef.wsy
The state road department has
offered to build the highway, if
the city and the county can obtain
the necessary s0-foot right of way
That would require the acquisition
of 3O-foot strip, in addition to the
present right-of-way.
Three commissioners last night
took a pessimistic view of that pos.
sihility, holding that it is too ''am-
bilious"
Commissioner Jack Delaney said
that he would vote against the or
dinance because cit would tend to
penalize residents and businessmen
on Truman Ave-"
Too Much on Lot
He said that one property owner
told him that if the right-ofway
were bought up by the city, his lot
would be cut to a plot 8 by 100
feet.
1--WE are wasting our time think
ing of obtaining that much right
of-way," said Delaney, "If there
were a reasonable possibility in
my mind that we could do it, I'd
go for it"
Delaney then suggested that i
plan for diverting traffic be worked
out to relieve the congestion the
state road department has termed
''the worst in South Florida"
An Property Affected u
Mayor e. B. Harvey said thai
every piece of property on Tru-
man Ave. would be affected by the
project.
He added that if an sO-fooot street
were built, it would be IA feet wild
er than Roosevelt Blvd.
"I'li agree it is ideal, but it is
very impractical" said the Mayor.
I'VE are being a little hasty," 4"
said Commissioner Roberts.
The commission then moved to
defer action on the road project.

Lang Bares Plan To Use
Surplus Sewer Funds Here
BY JIM COBB

The citys proposed street program may get s12S..
900 boost from Uncle SAM
That information was released last night when Civ
Manager Victor Lang outlined for the city commission
plan which has the tentative blessing of the federal ov
ernmen to put to surplus funds from the
grant for the current sewer project repairing streets
damaged during the program.
The Key West citizen., 1954-10-19

The plan met with unani-
nous approval of the city
commission last night.
When the contract was original
ly negotiated, plans to have the
sewer contractors repair the streets
were abandoned because their fig.
ures were more than $l00, 900 high
er than the amount of money avail
able for the project.
Bids Authorized
Bids were authorized by the city
commission Oct. for a SIS 900
first class" street paving program
In the wake of the sewer project.
But last night, City Manager
Lang told the commission that eco
Monies effected during the sewer
project have resulted in a surplus
expected to amount to $l5O, 900 IN
government funds.
OF this amount, Lang said, about
$125, 900 should be available for the
repair of streets damaged during
the sewer construction.
Cost OF Program
Total cost of the proposed pro-
gram, which would result in ths
paving of about 20 miles of streets.
would be about $780, 600, Lang es.
timated.
Lang pointed out that the city
has available in their street fund.
about SIS, 900 earmarked for streets
in its budget. This amount plus
what the government win grant
will be available for street cons.
truction.
Lang said that he had been con-
ferring with government officials
for two weeks and that he had
learned that unless the funds are
used by the conclusion Of the
contract, they will be returned 20
the federal government and that
the City Of Key West win in no
way directly benefit.
Amount Uncertain
THE exact amount of money a.
vailable cannot be determined until
all the sewer construction is COM
pleted," said Lang. ''It is estimat-
ed that approximately sl25, 900 win
be made available contingent upon
its use being restricted to streets
approved by federal authorities.
Furthermore, it is necessary that
this work be done within the scope
OF our present sewer contract"
This means, Lang said, that a
provision in the contract of the
Reinertson Construction Company
for the replacement of pavement at
the conclusion of the sewer con-
tract. will be restored. The city
commission passed a resolution en-
dorsing such move last night.
Problems Listed
Lang, however, adaitted that
several problems confront the city
in such a street program. They
are:
l. The budget contemplated hot
mix paving program of about Sss,-
Oo. To make maximum use Of the
surplus sewer funds requires that
the city exceed this amount. ('swe
may find it necessaryto pledge Gig
arctic tax funds for a loan or post.
pone some of our plans for storm
sewers" said Lang.)
2. Government funds are not A.
vailable for general street use but
must be used only on paved streets
damaged by the sewer. This means
that the city must adapt their plans
accordingly. There VIII be some
blocks omitted Of otherwise COM
pletely paved streets. Lang for-
