Street Paving
Requested For
Staples Ave-.
Commission Assures
Re-Paving When
Sewer Is Finished

Thirty-six residents of the
area on Staples Avenue be-
tween First Street and Fifth
Street have requested re-
pairs to be made on Staples.
A letter to the city manager, VIC
tor Lang, signed by the group was
read at city commission meeting
last night, with the commission in
structing Lang to take action in
the matter.
Text Of Letter
1--WE, the undersigned, are COM
planning about the deplorable con-
dition Of Staples Avenue and re-
questing repair of the road. This
road is being used as a public
thoroughfare by Suddath Transfer
Co. and Holsum Bread Co.
.The trucks and automobiles
cause considerable dust, holes and
ruts, which is damaging to homes
and automobiles. Staples Avenue
has been piped for sewerage.
Therefore improvement is asked. "
Program Set
Commissioner Louis Carbonell
said that it was his understanding
that a first class paving program
was to be started as soon as the
sewer project is finished.
City Manager Lang assured the
commissioners that this plan is to
be followed and that the streets
will be put back in shape as soon
as it is certain that the sewer line
is satisfactory and no more ex-
cavation viii be necessary in the
immediate future.
The condition of George Street,
in the vicinity Of George Allen a.
partments was also brought before
the group, and a check into the
matter of paving it was referred to
Lang for action.

PARKING PROHIBITED

Placement of a No Parking sign
In the alleyway at 800 Eaton Street
was ordered last night by the city
commission.
Protest of parking in the alley
was made on the basis that a car
parked there completely blocks the
area, creating a fire hazard.

Lease Sought
The city has been interested in
leasing the lot rather than in buy
ing It outright, but a letter to Vic
tor Lang, city manager, from Fred
Dion, representing the owners Of
the land, said that the question Of
q lease agreement must await the
arrival Of the owners here.
The letter from Dion described
the area as measuring approx
mately $50 feet on Angela Street
BY approximately 24O feet on 81
S11nton st.
Dion said that although the price
Of the land quoted might seem high,
ifs value was based on comparison
with similar land elsewhere, es-
pecially a much smaller area on
Duyal Street which is occupied BY
store buildings.

'sIn addition there would still re-
main some 81 900 square feet, rear

Appraisal Suggested

ter went on, I" to an appraisal,
the city to select one, ! to repre-
sent owners, and the two to name
the third one."
The city commission decided that
It would be to their advantage to
have an independent appraisal
made by three disinterested local
realtors, rather than standing the
chance of having an appraiser
from out of town named.
They felt, that only a person
with a working knowledge Of Key
West property could form an ade-
quate notion of the value of the
land in question. City Manager
Lang was instructed to name the
appraisal board, and further action
on the matter was rested until such

A recommendation, suggested by
Corporal Howell. Gillett of the Flo
rida State Highway Patrol, was
approved increasing the speed lin
it on Flagler Avenue, from First
Street to Roosevelt Boulevard,
from the present rs miles per hour
to IS miles per hour. The school
zone area speed limit would be re-
tanned.
The commission agreed to this
proposal, saying that it is wiser
to establish higher limit and en-
force 1t than to keep to the lower
limit which is not enforced.
Pstronia Street
City traffic engineer C. r. But
Ter has recommended to the city
manager that Petronia Street from
Simonton to Emma be made a one
way street.
Butler, in letter to Lang, said
that after extensive study made by
him, Police Chief B. G. Perez and
Fire Chief Charles Cremata, it was
decided that the change on Petro-
mia would reduce accident hazards
along this street.
The flow of traffic viii be from
the east to the west, with parking
on one side of the street only.
Butler pointed out that there
have been 10 accidents on this
street and its intersections this
year.
School Crossing
The question of the danger to
school children of crossing Tru-
man Avenue at Georgia Street was
discussed. The commissioners ex-
pressed the feeling that the pre-
sent provision Of a guard at Tru-
Pea and White s.sould still be ade-
quate, and instructed the city ma
mayer to direct Truman School per-
sonnet that children are to cross
the street at Truman and White.

they must follow.

welt Boulevard between the inter-
section and Eagle Avenue.
The area which has been used
as a parking space for hospital
visitors is to be developed and can
no longer be used as a parking lot
so Captain Simpson sought to have
angle parking provided in the area
in question.
Nc Angle Parking
The commission, however feels
that angle parking would prove
dangerous, and win seek to pro-
vide alienation Of the problem by
marking the street for parellel
parking on both sides.
Captain Simpson also asked that
the speed limit along this stretch
be lowered to Is miles per hour.
The commission flet that this would
prove a traffic bottle.neck, so the
declined to approve the request.
The question of changing park
ing on Duval Street from the right
to the left side of the street was
touched on, but it was decided that
instituting this change would take
further study.

NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-The
Muscular Dystrophy Association
of America, Inc, says admins
trative expenses were only 2 per
cent of it's 1853 collections-far
less the cost for most such
groups.
The association, prompted by
decisions in Chemung County,
N. Y, against supporting the
1854 dystrophy fund drive, pub
lished detailed budget data yes
terday
The drive was denied support
by the County Medical Associa-
ton, the Council of Social Agen-
cies and Appeals Review Board
In Chemung County.
Figures taken from a certified
public accountants report
showed that the dystrophy or
ganization received $3.919,451 in
the year ended March 81, 1854.
Each dollar was reported spent
as follows:
Research, so cents; patient
care and local services, II cents;
medical and public education,
8 cents: reserves for future pro-
grams, II cents, and administra-
tive costs, 2 cents.
Mrs. Lou Gehrig, national
chairman of the association s
current fund drive, said: "A re-
cent survey of similar agencies
shows, in almost all cases,
administrative costs above this
latter figure"
In announcing the, Chemung
County medical groups deci-
sion not to support the fund
drive, a spokesman said it acted
because the county had only
three muscular dystrophy cases
and they were being cared for

Clergy Letter Says
Church Is Shocked
Over Peron Charges
BY the Assoeiuted Press

BUENoS AIRES, Nov. 23.Ar-
gentina's two cardinals and IL
bishops have told President Pc
ron they are astonished and filled
with intense grief" over his
charges that Roman Catholic
clergymen are trying to under
mine his government.
This was disclosed today with
release of a letter from the epis-
copate of this predominantly Ro-
man Catholic country to Gen.
Peron, who accused three bishops
and 81 priests in a speech on No
veinber 10 of interfering in poll
tics, trying to infiltrate labor or
ganizations and working against
his regime.
Since then seven priests have
been arrested and two sentenced
to five days imprisonment for
creating disturbances"
The seventh to be arrested
was the Rev. Rodolfo Carboni,
who charged from his pulpit
here on Sunday that Gen.
Peron's government was using
TIitler's tactics. His charge
touched off a melee in which
three women were injured
slightly.
Archbishops Sign.
The letter to Gen. Peron was
signed by Santiago Luis Car
dinal Copello, the Archbishop Of
Buenos Aires, Antonio Cardinal
Cagciano. the Archbishop Of
Rosario, and II bishops.
It was delivered yesterday for
presentation to Gen. Peron. At
the direction Of the presidential
press Office the Argentine press
ignored it in this mornings
editions.
The letter said that since Ar
gentina was founded it always
has counted on the contribution
of the church toward its moral
and spiritual greatness the
nation has seen development in
its religious and cultural life in
an atmosphere of peace which
is necessary always for the good
of the spirit and the tranquility
of the populace."
"We cannot hide from your
excellency the intense sorrow
that affects us all for assertions
that three worthy and beloved
brothers in this episcopacy are
open enemies of the govern
ment. We are all absolutely
convinced we have worked for
the good of the country with
all our efforts and with best
intentions"
Asks Detailed Charges.
The letter asked Gen. Peron
to let the episcopacy know the
detailed charges against the
bishops and priests named $50
ecclesiastical superiors may be
In condition, to verify the objec-
tivity of the charges and the
degree of responsibility in order
to adopt measures that may
apply in conformity with the
law"
Father Carboni read the words
of Pope Plus XII denouncing
Hitler and said they "are appli-
cable to the present epoch
through which our country is
passing"
"In those times as here" he
continued, "children are seized
and disturbed by government ac-
tions, and now we priests live
under calumny, are prosecuted
and imprisoned"
The sermon brought shouts
from some of the audience that
the priest was putting the
church in politics" while others
shouted in his defense. The
women were hurt when a group
of his adherents tried to force
his critics from the church.
Four of the other priests who
were arrested have been released,
while two others were sentenced
to five days in Jail for disturb
ances and disorders"

are sufficient to illustrate the part that Cadillac
has played in this brilliant achievement.
And that is why the 'fbaby" of the family,
production-wise, feels such special pride as the

We believe we have played a vital part in
