Fire, Police Departments Ask Raise

(Continued from Page One) of many of the members have had to seek employment in order that the two may earn enough to meet increases in living costs. Just 'Existing' "Members that have children are not living, they are only existing and many are ripe for the loan shark," they said. The communication said that members of the two departments are paid less than carpenters, plasters and bus drivers, "yet they must be ready at all times to answer the call of duty, day or night, and must be neat and lead exemplary lives." They told the city manager that many members of both departments have had to acquire outside employment in order to meet their just bills. They stated that members cannot always pick these outside jobs, as the type of employment must meet the approval of the director of public safety. Stating that the life of a police officer is often in danger, they cited two recent cases in which Coral Gables policemen were involved in making arrests of armed criminals.

Building Tops Ten-Year Peak, Survey Reveals

Construction of residence, apartment and store units in Coral Gables topped a ten year peak this week according to figures released today by T. C. Blount, city tax assessor. Blount reported that construction to date, a ten-month period, had topped 1946 figures, the highest in the ten-year period under survey. Completed or under construction in Coral Gables during 1947 are a total of 241 buildings, including 171 residences, 37 apartment and duplex buildings and 35 store buildings. In 1946, the previous peak year, 239 buildings were completed including 130 residences, 34 apartment and duplex buildings and 64 store buildings. In 1940, another peak year, the total was 200 with 176 residences, 13 apartment and duplex structures and 11 store buildings. Two more months of construction remain before 1948 can be compared with other years on a 12-month basis.

Here's How City Worker Looks at It

(Continued from Page One) Sgt. Crittenden's only comment was "Let nature take its course." K. H. Allyn, chief accountant at city hall, looked at another angle when he said, "There is no question that a raise is needed under present living conditions — but where is the money coming from?" Allyn added that the current balance between revenue and expense of the city is such that "some source will have to be found to raise the money." A veteran of 13 years' service with the city, Allyn said that the turn-over in employes at city hall has been been higher this year than ever before in the city's history. "We had a girl here who was getting the maximum pay scale for her type of work. She was efficient and a valuable employe. Last month she left to take a job which carries less responsibility and pays $50 a month more than she was getting here. "I would estimate that our turn-over has been about 50 per cent this year," Allyn said. One old-timer at city hall took the whole thing stoically. When asked what he thought about the pay raise for city employes, he looked up, scratched his head, thought a moment and then asked, "What raise?"

Dim View Gloom Factors Cited By I. N. Parrish

(Continued from Page One) adversely affected by widespread erroneous reports of storm damage," he declared. "Despite the continuing generally high level of prosperity, costs of necessities have risen faster than income and travel is extremely sensitive to net income losses." On top of this, Parrish pointed out, Pullman and coach train fares will be higher this season and "a check shows half of Miami Beach hotels are quoting slightly higher rates this season." Noting that the State's travel business is responsible for $800,-000,000 annually, about one third of the gross state income, Parrish declared: "There is no gain saying the fact that the 40-cent dollar and the constantly mounting costs of everyday living mean less money in the American pocketbook today for travel."

Washingtonian To Address Forum

Fred Buschmeyer, D.D of Mount Vernon Congregational Church, Washington, D.C. will be the guest speaker at a "Plymouth Forum" meeting of the Plymouth Congregational Church, Coconut Grove, Sunday night.

The Congregational Churches of the Greater Miami area have been invited to share in this meeting and a cordial welcome is extended to the public.

It's A Myth

A popular myth that the DeSoto Fountain, newly floodlighted Tuesday, was a gift to Coral Gables from the king of Spain, was exploded today by Mary Helm Clarke, Riviera-Times columnist, and authority on early Gables history. "Stories to the contrary, it was designed by Denman Fink, art director of the former Coral Gables Corp., now head of the art department of the University of Miami and member of the present planning board of the municipality," Miss Clarke stated. Details of the fountain, now spotlighted against the black curtain of night, include the wrought iron direction finder topping the shaft and sculptured heads representing the four points of the compass. The figure facing west, with partly closed eyes, symbolizes the setting sun, the close of day. The fountain centers the DeSoto plaza at the intersections of Granada Blvd., DeSoto Blvd., and Avenue Sevilla, between the Venetian pool and the Pratt Veterans' hospital.

Georgia Justice Jumps to Death; Had Gables Kin

Charles S. Reid, former chief justice of the Georgia state supreme court and a member of the war trials commission at Nuremberg, who jumped to his death in Atlanta, today, was the son-in-law of Mrs. Mary Sadler of Coral Gables, the Riviera-Times learned today. Reid, according to United Press, jumped from his 12th floor office in the Candler building. Mrs. Sadler, who recently sold her Valencia dress shop on Ponce de Leon Boulevard, was reported to have left recently for a visit with Justice and Mrs. Reid. He resigned as chief justice of the state supreme court in 1943 to enter the army, in which he served as a lieutenant colonel. Following his discharge, he was appointed last year to serve on the war crimes tribunal at Nuremberg.
