Leave Us Alone SM Told
By EDWIN KNIGHT Correspondent City of South Miami's plans for the annexation of some 11 widely separated parcels near the city met with intense opposition at a public hearing Tuesday night of last week. For three hours Council members and Mayor Paul U. Tevis listened to county residents tell the city fathers why they were opposed to annexation. Through a show of hands at one point in the discussion, Council members noted that not one person among those present was for the annexation. STANDING ROOM ONLY There was a standing room only crowd in the 84-seat Council chambers. After listening to several dissenters, some Council members were for bringing the hearing to an abrupt halt and forgetting forever about the annexation. But a Council majority was for hearing the residents out to the bitter end. "As far as I'm concerned, the issue is closed," said Mayor Tevis after the hearing "But they will be sorry. Unless county land is annexed to the cities, special tax districts will be set up and then the countians will receive less services than are offered in the city and perhaps pay more in taxes." DOUBLE TAXATION Primary concern of the residents was double taxation. They feel that Metro taxes are enough and the difference between the better city services and the mediocre Metro services does not warrant the extra tax burden. Some county residents looked upon the annexation as a land grab. Burton R. Levy, an attorney residing at 8030 SW 63rd Ct., said he feels the city went about the annexation in an unethical manner. He said the city deliberately went after those areas with less than 250 residents so there would be no referendum giving the residents a chance to vote on the annexation. PUBLIC HEARING According to the Metro Code, any area having less than 250 residents can be annexed to an abutting city. The annexa- tion can be initiated by the county Planning and Zoning Board, residents in the affected area or by a nearby city. The only public hearing required is before the Metro Commission.

Home Where Heart Is? Maybe Not, Says Draft Board
Home may be where the heart is — but not as far as your draft board is concerned. Your home is where you first registered for the draft —no matter where that was or when, according to local draft board officials. But don't worry, you wouldn't have to go all the way back to Alaska or Hawaii — if that's where you registered. In the event you are called into service, the LDB would handle your assignment in cooperation with your "Home Town" draft board. This may seem like a right unhandy way to do things, but the way Selective Service figures it — it's easier for you to keep reporting your status to the same board than for them to be chasing you. Besides, those valuable records that tell of your availability might get lost as you went traipsing about the country. If you aren't registered and should, this will make it your official home town as far as draft records go. Who should register? This is one time when girls are "discriminated" against. Only men who have reached their 18th birthday are required by law to report that fact to their local draft board. They have five days to do so. Aliens must also register if they were born on Sept. 15, 1925 or after and reside in this country. Registration of aliens is required within six months after establishing residency here. Local Draft Board officials say they prefer that aliens wait towards the end of the six-month period to avoid unnecessary registration. After that, whether alien or citizen, you've got to contact your LDB every time your status changes — like when you get married, have children or move. If you are one of those who don't like to write — you'll have to pay them a call.
