TOWNER SAYS CITY

the. sale of the remaining 1853
houses,'' Adm. Towner added.
Turning to another phase of the
housing shortage here, Adm.
Towner said many Navy men will
not pick Key West for duty.
He pointed to reports from the
submarine school at New London,
Conn.
There the graduates are given
the opportunity to select the bases
at which they would like to be
stationed. The choice is based on
the ranking in the class.
OF q class of 112 officers, all
chose other bases except the low
est Is in the class, who took Key
West.
Out of a class Of $50 enlisted
men, he said, only four petty Off
GERS above second class volunteer
ed for duty in Key West.
Men Dent Like u
The admiral said this avoidance
of Key West by Navy personnel
was due to the shortage of housing
here; the low caliber Of the hous-
valuable; and expensive living
here.
As despite the basic allowance
for quarters which the Navy gives
to its personnel.
Enlisted men, for example, re-
ceive UP to $3.50 monthly for
quarters when they are obliged to
live in town. That is, when they do
not live on the station.
Here is the Nays quarters al.
lowanee for enlisted men as out
lined by Adm. Towner:
Seamen with one dependent re-
ceive $3.50 per month; with two
dependents, stills; and with more
than two dependents, $3.50.
Petty officers with one or two
dependents receive $77.10 per
month; with more than two de-
pendents, the sum is $3.50.
Future Possibilities
There is a possibility, Adm.
Towner went on, that more Navy
housing will be built here. He said
there is a provision in q bill now
before the Congress to build 1O3
housing units here.
If Congress okays the bill, the
units will be built in the Salt Pond
area or on the Naval Station, he
added.
However, already assured for
the Navy here are $50 trailers
that will be spotted in the Salt
Pond area where the Navy now
has a trailer camp.
These are secondhand trailers
the Public Housing Authority is
providing the Navy here.
Earlier, Adm. Towner said, the
Navy asked the authority for 500
low-cost units for Key West but
Congress did net make the money
available.
It was then that the trailers
were offered and accepted.
Adm. Towner said $50 Navy fam
lilies were here waiting for vari-
Gus types Of housing.
Interim Accommodations
"They camp out" he said, civ
ing in motels, one.room apart
ments and trailer parks while
waiting for housing in their price
range and with the number of
bedrooms they need"
Needed, he said, was low-rent
housing for enlisted men first and
then junior officers.
"They can't afford what most
houses and apartments here

Commissioner Joe Allen prom
ised that he is in favor Of Eight

for the county.
I'm speaking for myself, but
/ think the rest of the commission
viii agree with me when say
that ,we'll leave no stone unturn-
ed In fighting to keep the land"
he said.
Taxpayers Took Risk
sit was Monroe County taxpay-
ers who took the risk and Shout
dered the obligation Of a bond issue
to build the highway and 1t is only
right that the lands should revert
to them," Allen continued, GAS
far as I'm concerned, wen take
the matter right to the United
States Supreme Court to see that
we get our rights-whatever they
do. Wen be right behind them"
Toll commission chairman DEM
eritt has also gone on record as
being unalterably opposed to CIV
ing up the land. He also said that
he feels the other commission
members viii back him up.
The land in question was pur-
chased from the Florida East Coast
Railroad at the time the Overseas
Highway was built.
Since then. some of the land has
been put under long term lease
including property on West Sum-
merland Key for q Boy Scout camp,
property for the erection of the
Coral Shores School and land for
the Marathon Chamber of Com
merce and the fire station there.
Press "Exposs"
At the time the seven man toll
commission was removed during

merland Key had already been
made and deeds conveying one
half Of the island to the Girl Scouts

Purpose of today's meeting, &C.
cording to attorney Dayton, is to
put the wheels in motion for the

trict.
But the commission may want to
ask a few questions about that, as
well.
Included in their assets are sew
eral pieces of rolling stock" and
. 4O-thousand dollar revolving
fund.
The commission may want to
know If the 1916 agreement calls
Tor them to turn these assets over

Dr.. c. w. Morrison also told of

children and said:

Capt. W. r. Burns, dental Off
Ger of the Naval Base here, said
every major health and medical
organization favors huoridation of
water supplies.
He related how he had exam

Of Seabees in World War II. Each
battalion contained 1,2s0 men. All
Of the men were from Texas and
Arkansas where fluoride appears

DR.. De Camp then told the group
that the chief opposition to the
program might arise from the
Christian Science Church. He said
that that church had fought the
duSridation programs in other
communities, and added, ''but
they also fought vaccinatlon and
incubation"
Cdr. Joseph c. Luppans, Naval
Station Public Works Officer, who
conducted the meeting, said the

Vietsr Lang, city manaser, was
equally sure the city would raise
no objections.

The Navy Relief Society, he
said, is footing the bill for all or
part of the rent for "a lot of
people" here.

continued, Navy Relief gives
about $4,000 a month toward rents.
That is strictly a gift. It does not
include the amounts loaned to
personnel by Navy Relief for rent

The situation is so critical here,
he added, that the Navy is con-

have found quarters and adding
others who need housing.
