Hess Replaces Wynne On Gables Commission
James M. Hess, twice-defeated candidate for the Coral Gables City Commission, finally got a seat through the appointment route when he was named to replace Winston W. Wynne last week. Hess will be sworn in at the Jan. 10 meeting. The 47-year-old real estate broker will serve the four months remaining before the next April municipal election. Wynne resigned recently to take a seat on the Metro Commission. He had more than two years left to serve on the City Commission. Will Hess be a candidate for election in April? Doesn't Think So "I don't think so," Hess said Tuesday. But he indicated he was not finally dedicated to any course. "I was happy for the appointment," said Hess, a realtor, former president of the Coral Gables Board of Realtors and JAMES HESS "Realtor of the Year" in 1956. Hess, who polled 1540 votes in the last city election, was fourth in a five-man race which featured a tie between Commissioner Joe Murphy and Wynne, who both polled 2562 votes. Ironically, Murphy must run for re-election in April, because he bowed to Wynne on the question of who would get the four-year term and who would get the two-year term. Hess said Tuesday that he still feels very strongly about the maintenance of high zoning standards. He once worked for improvements in the Negro section of Coral Gables. Here's what Hess said in a political ad paid for by "The Hessians" and published in 1957: "One reason for my being a candidate for a seat on our City Commission, is the great need for protection of our zoning ordinance and thus our homes. Recent and costly attempts to violate it prove that we must be wary in the future. "Our present zoning ordinance is a good one, our future depends upon strict adherence. Let us not have to resort to court action to protect our homes and community." Hess, associated with William H. May, has his office at 926 Ponce de Leon Blvd. The Hess', who live at 6315 Casteneda, have two daughters, Lynda, 20, and Patti, 14.
Infant Falls 3 Stories, Lives
A 17-month-old girl fell three stories from a porch Saturday morning in Coral Gables and lived. Glinda Fay Coley, of 135 South Dixie Hwy., suffered a fractured skull and is reported in "fair" condition at Variety Children's Hospital. When Fireman Bourbon B. Rouse and Jerome S. Kirk arrived on the scene shortly after 10 a.m., they found little Glinda conscious and crying. Her only apparent injury at that time was a lacerated tongue. She was frightened and in a state of mild shock. X-rays taken later revealed that she had suffered a fractured skull.
