Owners of property on the key told the Chamber of Commerce and city officials that they had made no such request. Civic leaders pointed out that the move had no relation to a similar proposal to remove Virginia Key from the city limits of Miami Beach, because the land itself on that key was owned by the city of Miami.

Special Levy Is Proposed For Parkways

(Continued from Page One) than it is now if such a plan is adopted. Holley advanced his plan as a counter-proposal during a discussion with Tax Assessor T. C. Blount concerning a proposal to raise assessments on homes built between 1924 and 1937 approximately 15 per cent to offset losses from depreciation and to equalize advancement in values. Evidence Produced Blount produced printed real estate listings of several Gables homes that indicated that residences assessed below $5,000 because of depreciation were now being offered for sale for approximately $20,000. The commission, however, expressed reluctance to raise assessments on this group of properties and took no action on the proposal. Raise Okayed Blount was authorized to raise assessments in the Flagler section and in the area south of Bird Road on which "war houses" were built when he pointed out that original assessments were approximately 10 per cent lower than houses of similar construction in other sections. He said that it resulted from an error in the original assessment and that the "same yardstick" was not used as in making other assessments. Approximately 142 homes in the Flagler Section will be affected. Blount was also authorized to raise assessments on residences on which improvements had been made during the year.

Ready To Nab Aerial Culprits

(Continued from Page One) trols, had something to do with the problem. "Complaints are not always justified," Sgt. Bell says. "Many times people phone in and say they are positive that planes are below the 1,000 foot ceiling. We check and find that to be untrue-it just sounds that way because pilots have thrown their props into low pitch. There has been nothing we can do about that." Sgt. Bell adds that there may be something to be done about that too, however, city commission representatives are considering incorporation of a disorderly conduct clause in the aerial ordinance. Thus, pilots who switch to low pitch just for the fun of hearing their motors roar, or possibly for that of hearing home-owners roar, will be liable under the law. Unnecessary noise in the air, just like unnecessary noise on the ground by an auto-owner, would then be a misdemeanor. Men like the character who circled mid-town Coral Gables at 1,400 feet-above the law-with motor intentionally thrown into low pitch, would then be snared, sealed and "summonsed" by Sgt. Bell. Get Cooperation "The commercial airlines and instructors are with us 100 per cent," Sgt. Bell says. "They know the score and they are doing their best-like Embry-Riddle, which washed out two men last week for low flying to help. We'll have to impress plane-owners with the fact that they are responsible for conduct in the air every bit as much as automobile owners are for speeding or reckless driving on the ground." "The City of Coral Gables does not want to see aviation progress retarded. It just wants to see it kept up above 1,000 feet."

Hedge Fight Waits Changing Of City Law

Coral Gables' own battle of the hedge rows seemed destined yesterday to wait until revamping of the ordinance on which it hinges before it is settled. Earl Blumenback, 3257 Riviera Drive, who invoked a Gables ordinance Tuesday in an effort to bring about trimming of a hedge belonging to John L. Skinner, told The Riviera-Times that he planned no further action until the commission readjusted the law. No Teeth The ordinance, prohibiting hedges over four feet, proved to be without teeth when it was pointed out that the commission could act only if it was proved to be a "public nuisance." Commissioners stated that a dispute between neighbors did not constitute any such nuisance. Blumenback told The Riviera-Times yesterday that he had received many calls and visitors since the meeting was held. No Lawyer "I do not think it will be necessary for me to get a lawyer," he said, "I am a taxpayer and I consider the city is my lawyer." He denied statements that he was trying to "push anybody around" and said, "I just want air and light." If the revamped law does not aid the situation, Blumenbeck indicated that he might then seek the advice of an attorney.

Dunn Predicts Improved Team

(Continued from Page One) the 1947 Hurricane season promised improvement in passing offense and in line defense and offense. Dunn said that the coaches had attempted to keep Ernie Settembre below 280 pounds during the off-season-"a project which Ernie didn't help when he got a job in a soda fountain." Cards Mailed Reservation cards were sent this week to holders of last year's seats, Dunn said. "These seats will be held until May 15 only," he said.

House Ransacked Douglas was then led to the storage room and made to produce approximately $800 held there. He had been robbed of $30 and his sister of $15 just previous to that. Making the pair lie face down in a bedroom, the criminals ransacked the house and store and finally departed, some $975 richer than at entry.
