Gables Orders Safe Pool Locks

An ordinance requiring Coral Gables pool owners to install self closing and self locking devices on gates was adopted by the City Commission last week. The ordinance requires that locks be of the spring variety and that they automatically close and fasten. A safe lock must also be installed and gates kept locked when the swimming pool is not in use.

Charles Powell Bids For Commission Seat

"A few people are placing a monetary value on property that far exceeds the values of peace and tranquility that most citizens regard as the greatest asset of Coral Gables," Charles M. Powell, candidate for the City Commission, said Monday. Powell, who said he will announce details of his four-point platform shortly, said that "leadership is needed to give conscientious and common sense approach to both progress and protection of property values of our great city." The 36-year-old insurance executive and native Miamian said he has been a strong advocate of strict zoning law enforcement. "We can no longer expect men of dedication and distinction to assume the burdens of democratic government, if we persist in treating politics with scorn," Powell said. "We must encourage men of good moral character to run for office and support them in bringing honesty and respect to public office," he added. Powell is an insurance underwriter, general agent and former branch manager for Fidelity Union Life Insurance Co. He has 10-years experience in auditing and accounting with the Dade County government. A Coral Gables resident and property owner for the past 14 years, Powell attended Coral Gables Elementary, Shenandoah Junior High, Miami High, University of Florida and University of Miami. He has been active in civic, charity and political circles. Powell is a member of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, serving as director of the local group for 12 years. He has also been a vice president of the Jaycees and a state director. The candidate once served as chairman of the support of churches, committee for the Kiwanis Club, and has worked with the Parent Teachers Association, United Fund and Community Chest drives and belongs to the Young Democrats. He is a member of University Baptist Church, the Brotherhood Association and has been associate superintendent and Sunday School teacher for six years.
