S. Dixie Fence

Anchor Post Products Inc. of Florida has been awarded $2,127 contract by the City of Coral Gables for a chain link fence from Oak Avenue and Brooker Street along South Dixie Highway. The fence had been turned down by the State Road Department initially, but later approved on reconsideration after the City pressed its case for the need of a protective barrier along the heavily travelled highway.

How Did Planners Come In?

How did the Coral Gables Planning Board get into the oil refinery act? City Commissioners Tuesday indicated they did not know but would try to find out. The Board at its May 2 meeting invited representatives of the proposed Seadade refinery east of Homestead, County officials and representatives of Everett Clay and Associates, public relations firm handling the deal for Seadade. No stand was taken by the Board at the time and Chairman Don Wessell indicated the group would be reinvited after the County comes up with controlling ordinances. The City Commission has taken no stand on the refinery and has not indicated that it will.

Hearing Set On Sewers

A public hearing on sanitary sewer district SS-9 — an estimated $487,000 project — will be held next Tuesday at 3 p.m. by the City Commission. Two areas, the industrial section and the Negro settlement, will be covered by the sewer project. City Manager L. W. Robinson Jr. estimates the City's share at $100,000, with private owners paying the $387,000 balance. Estimated hookup cost will be $500 for individual units and more on industrial tieups, depending on conditions. A total of 768 units are estimated. The City Commission had originally planned to sewer an area along South Dixie Highway near the University of Miami, but changed its plans when a greater need was felt for the industrial and Negro sections. Robinson has reported the septic tank situation in the Negro area as reaching the saturation point.

St. Theresa's Catholic Young Adult Club will sponsor a Hard Times Party Tuesday at the Knights of Columbus Hall, 270 Catalonia Ave. Red Mumford and his band will play for dancing from 9 p.m. to midnight. Prizes will be given for the most original "hard times" costumes.
