Roberts Tells OF Preliminary
Check OF City Tax Assessment
Commissioner Says
He did Not Find
Amy Equalization
By BILL sPILLMAN

CITY commissioner Paul (Blondie)
Roberts said today in q statement
to The Citizen that on preliminary
examination Of the city tax assess
ment rolls, he does not see an
equalization in the tax assess
ments.
Roberts said that his prelimin-
airy checks were conferred around
various parts of town. He pointed
out that his special attention had
been directed to looking over
assessments around the south part
of the island between Reynolds and
White Streets.
Roberts said that he did not want
to be quoted on any actual dis
crepancy which he believes exists
since he is not a qualified assessor.
He said that he is basing his opin-
ions on sales and accepted values
of porperty.
Low Assessments
He pointed out that lots which are
for sale for four and five thou
sand dollars are assessed at about
one fifth of the amount of the sale
price.
Roberts in commenting on a re-
cent sale of land for $192, 900 which
was assessed for $500 said that
it is just one of the many reasons
why he is going to request that the
city hire some legitimate engineer
ing assessment firm to 60 over
Key West assessments thoroughly.
Roberts added that he did not
want to see taxes raised but did
want to see fair, up-to-date assess
ments for everyone and then ''low-
er the tax millage." He asserted
that the people who own half the
island should be paying half the
taxes.
csndolfo's Land
Claude Gandolfo, county tax as
SCISSOR and part owner of the land
recently sold on north Roosevelt
Boulevard that Roberts had COM
mented on, said that the county
had the land assessed for $500.
The land sold for $192, 500. % times
the amount of the assessment.
It has been the past procedure
of the city tax assessor to copy
assessments made by the county.
| Gandolfo stated that the assess
ment on the property in question
was made as of the first of the
year and the land was only 10 per
cent filled at that time.
Gandolfo did not state the cost
of fill.
Policy On Bay Bottom
He said that it had been his
policy to set an assessment of $3.50
an acre on bay bottom land that
had been bought from the state at
$500 an acre.
The assessment controversy
started when the city commission.

Free Bus Tours ThrO' Naval
Station May Be Re-Scheduled
Chambers Appeal
Is Answered BY
Senator Srnathers

The free Navy bus tours
through the Naval Station
may be re-scheduled. it was
Indicated today III " teie-
gram from Sen. George
Smathers (D.-Fla.)
The following is the text
of a Chamber of Commerce
statement handed to the
press by Harold Laubscher,
manager of the chamber:
The Navy Department has been
asked to investigate possibilities Of
re-scheduling the daily bus tours
through Key West Naval Station.
This word was received today by
Mrs. Mary Lee Graham. president
of the Key West Chamber Of Com
merce, in q telegram from Sena-
tor George Smathers.
Appeal Sent
The appeal for further investiga-
ton into the matters came as a
result Of a special meeting between
chamber officials and a represen-
tative Of the Key West Naval base.
This committee, called by Presi-
dent Graham, was composed Of
Citv Attorney ]. Y. Porter, w.
Chamber vice-president; Paul J..
Sher, chairman Of the chambers
Hotel-Motel Division; Mel Levitt;
manager Claude Neil Of the La
Concha Hotel; Henri .Trembley of
Ramonins Restaurant; and Luther
Pinder, owner Of Ocean View Ho-
tel.
Captain C. L. Murphy represent
cd the Navy.
AT a meeting of the chambers
board OF directors on April q, the
fact that the operator of local
sightseeing boat objected to the
Navy bus tours was discussed. At
that time the Chamber went on
record thanking the Navy for its
provision of the service and ex.
pressed the hope that the tours
could be continued indefinitely.
Time Controversy
The controversy between the Ma
Wy tours and the sightseeing boat
operator centers around the fact
that the Navy bus leaves at Up. m.
daily, the same time as the after
noon sailing of the sightseeing
boat. Because of need for the bus
by the Navy at almost all hours
OF the day, Captain Murphy stated
at the April meeting that it would
be impossible for the tour to orr
ginate at any other hour.
AT several times chamber repre-
sentatives have requested the sight
seeing boat people to change their
afternoon sailing hour to 500
p. m. to avoid conflict.
The chamber, realizing the value
of glasS-bottomed boat here as
a tourist attraction, has consistent
ly stated that both the sightseeing
boat and the Navy yard tours
should be made available If pos
sible.

frankly that he is looking for a
"clean-cut" perjury case against
someone.
Senator Jackson told a re-
porter:
II am trying to resolve some
of these issues around the Fed
eral perjury statutes"
Starts Building Case.
Senator Jackson started build
ing his case late yesterday when
his questioning prompted Sec
retary Stevens to deny eight
specific charges made p Sena-
tor Mccarthy or his aides.
The charges have not yet been
made under oath, but Senator
Jackson explained in an inter-
view:
MY questions are intended as
interrogatorieS on the issues
which, if contradicted by the
parties to the dispute, will lay
the groundwork for clean-cut
perjury action"
Perjury-lying under oath
can be punished by up to five
years imprisonment.
Senator Jackson did not
undertake to suggest who was
telling the truth-Secretary
Stevens or the Mccarthy group.

point with Secretary Stevens
when it came his turn to cross

Mr.. Stevens, now entering
upon his fourth full day of tes-

nial that he ever suggested to
the Mccarthy subcommittee that
it investigate the Department of
Defense, the Air Force or the

Mccarthy he never sought to
stop the subcommittee investi-
cation but only "the type of
hearings" conducted by Senator
Mccarthy which. Mr.. Stevens
said, gave the American public
"an inaccurate picture of the
Fort Monmouth situation"

ever asking Mr.. Adams. the
Army counselor and liaiSon
representative with the subcom-
mittee, to bring about cessation
of the Mccarthy investigation.
A Protest on Officers.
AS today's session opened,
Senator Mccarthy protested that
too many military officers are
attending the hearing.
He suggested that "all gen.
erals and other officers in
the room should be identified. t."
1t was the second time he had
made the point, which he first
raised in Mondays session.
A number of high-ranking Of
ficers have accompanied Mr..
Stevens.
II think the committee will
take more and more criticism
because of the presence of these
officers" Senator Mccarthy said.
