STREET PAVING PLAN

Editor, The Citizen:
Referring to the action taken by
the City Commissioners at their
meeting last Monday night, Febru-
AIRY first, regarding repaving Of
the City's streets. It sounded good,
but when more consideration Is
given to the cost Of the work as
outlined | believe due conSidera-
ton will be given to a type of sec
ondary pavement for the lightly
Travelled streets, which | believe
was the type that Mr.. Lang had
in mind, as used on county roads.
1T would be a gross waste OF money
to use the same type of pavement
on both the light and heavily ira
Iveled streets.
l am listing part of the letter
wrote to the Editor last November
on this subject.
I'VE feel certain that a satiSfac'
tory method can be worked out
with road contractors for the re-
pairs and repaving of the streets
in a satisfactory manner at rea'
sonable cost for the streets or
which the traffic is light, better
and more expensive type of pave
ment would have to be used on the
heavily Travelled streets.
/ "Spend what money we have fol
good repairs and the type of pave
ment needed for the streets, tax
ing into consideration the amount
of traffic on each street, which
would decide the type Of pavemen
to be used and have work done or
the Pay as you go plan starting
on the heaviest Travelled street:
which will not be effected by tht
sewer installation using the correc'
type of pavement on these streets
on the lightly travelled streets after
repairs a satisfactory re-SurfaclnG
application of gravel, from which
there will be a certain amount o
dust which we viii have to put VI
with for short period. And wher
the sewer installation is completed
again select streets to be repaired
and repaved according to the
amount of traffic, using any money
on hand for this work and the mon
ey used recently to purchase Shor
term bonds, which was a good idea
but the money should be used Il
repair the streets when the condi
ton is right, i. e. when the sewer

20 days after VA gets the certifica'

Sit back, chidren-Pm going to
tell you some interesting facts and
see if maybe you can help me
figure out a plausible reason for
their existence.
You see, here on The Rock we
have what is known as the Florida
Keys Aqueduct Commission. 1t buys
water from the Navy for 81 cents
per thousand gallons. In turn, it
resells this water to consumers at
prices graduated in accordance
with the volume used-$1 for the
first 1000 gallons on down to a
minimum Of Is cents per thousand
where huge quantities are involved.
One of the excuses offered Key
West residents for their high wat
Ter rate is the fact that individual
homes have to have meters and
that bookkeeping, billing, collect
ing, etc., all tend to make expen-
seS run high. That sounds logical
enough. But is the Aqueduct CON-
mission maintaining an impartial
rate system amongst all its Gus
toners?
This column has in mind two Of
the largest water consumers in
Key West-a privately owned hous-
ing development and the Key West
Housing Authority.
The Key West Housing Author
ity-a taxpayers project-uses ov-
er 10000, 600 gallons OF water per
month. It buys this huge quantity
at the same rates, as a private res
Iidence although in this case there
is no real excuse for the Aqueduct
Commission to claim high main
cenance costs because only five
master meters are involved.
After the Housing Authority re-
ceiyes MS water, it is distributed
on some projects free of charge.
On others, the first 5000 gallons is

ity has found it impossible to gel
to first base however, in an at.
tempt to get lower water rates.
Now, get this!
There is large, profit making
private housing development in
town which also buys its water
from the Aqueduct Commission.
Whereas everyone else in Key
West pays IS cents per thousand
for water in volume, this private
housing development pays only SC
cents. In turn, the outfit rebills its
tenants for use of this water al
City rates which begin at 81 fo1
the first 1000 gallons and drop or
down to the above mentioned rs
cents.
The situation is really rather
pulling. Statements of policy are
seldom issued from the Florida
Keys Aqueduct Commission and
about all guy can do is beat his
head against wall trying tc
shake up an answer to various
problems. However. my head is
sore just at present so I'm going
to let you-the reader-take up the
Self-inflicted punishment.
You might also ask yourself what
is going to happen when we elect
new water commissioners as figure
heads while the old ones continue
to run the show.

progressive steps Monroe County

joy bridge fishing and still remain
alive.
The safety factor isn't everything
though. There are some horrors
worse than DEATH Remember
awhile back when a Lady was lean
ing over one Of the bridge rails
fishing? A speeding automobile
passed, she felt a tug, and when
she looked around she discovered
she was suddenly eligible for a
nudiSt colony. The car had hooked
her Stacks off and was proceeding
Imerrily down the road flying them
as a banner.
Now, can you imagine anything
more terrible than TO be caught In
the middle of one of those long
bridges without any pants, with
heavy traffic passing constantly
and for good measure perhaps,
Eswarms Of mosquitoes buzzing
around?
Yes siri We really need those
catwaikS for more reasons than
just the pleasure of fishing!
And there is something else we
need which l would like to see Mr..

often come into the Key West har-
Dor but have TO leave because there
lis no place to tie up safely. Our
town is losing a lot Of money, not

ing such condition to exist.
Ever since I've been in Key

Garrison Blight being developed n
to a yacht basin. At first I be-
Ilieved the stories but as the years
passed, I began to notice that m
stead OF being improved, the Blight
appeared to remain the same.
Surely there Is something that can
be done about the situation.
| Guess it sounds crazy for a tire
recapper and distributor to be
spending his money advocating
yacht basins. You might say in al
truth that automobiles and trucks
are our business and we should
tend to that. However, if Dicks
