Sept. 23, 1960 by Dipoal i 5 Plant NEWS STAFF WRITER i4 Permit OK Venerable Robert Houston, the crafty: Dania politician who was called politically dead" when he was beaten last year after four consecutive years on the City Commission, is not acting at all like a corpse. The fact is that Houston is bouncing around and has his political opponents pretty worried so worried in fact that they are almost willing to concede him one of the three seats that will be available in Nov. 1 general election.

to increase the number of plant connections by builders and home owners. Other commissioners, however, voted to grant such permission thereby rescinding previous action three weeks ago when they passed a resolution freezing additional connections by the utility. Under the rescinding order plant officials must obtain permits on an individual basis from the county health department Nearly a score of residents of the Broward Estates area, where the sewage plant is located, brought about the "freezing" order when they protested odors from the plant were obnoxious.

Given an outside chance of 3 Dania FCD Meet Fails topping Houston men are Carl Zenobia and Clifford Vought. But Seay is the guiding light. Seay, who polled second high when he ran in 1938 and became vice mayor, admits he may have lost some strength in his two years on the City Commission. "But I'm sure that I gained strength in other areas." Seay said he is going to put on a hard fighting door-to-door campaign. "I'm going to try to bring my campaign to as many people as I can." Vilal XegroVote In this election, as in others, the Negro vote which in Dania is very strong, will play a pivotal part in the race.

It is in this area where Seay is sure to pick up some strength. He has championed a swimming pool for Negroes here which is quite close to materializing. In previous years Houston has dominated the Negro vote. But Seay, a crafty politician in his own right, is sure to plead the following argument before Dania's Negroes: "What has Houston Paving Taxes Vetoed Protesting Miami Gardens taxpa3rers saved themselves a paving assessment yesterday afternoon. A group of residents, headed by William Hopkins, president of Miami Gardens Civic said the planned paving of Sutton Rd.

from Hallandale Beach Blvd. to Newton as authorized by County Commission, should not be on an assessment basis. EOAD The claim was based on the fact the road is utilized mainly as a short-cut route from the Miami area to the West Hollywood section. Commissioners concurred and voted to go ahead with the paving project on a non-assessment basis. DANIA Mayor George Knoblock today slapped out at the School Board and the Central and Southern Florida Flood Control District for "trying to put Dania out of the garbage dump business without being willing to make any concessions." Charge Up For Study A public hearing on proposed increases for freight handling at Port Everglades highlights the agenda for this afternoon's meeting of the Broward County Port Authority.

Freight handlers at the sprawling port have asked for a 1.6 per cent increase for handling freight from docks to storage facilities and a 4.6 per cent increase for moving freight from storage to trucks. The increase has been sought to compensate freight handlers for a pay hike recently granted stevedores. Concerns handling sugar at the port are opposed to the increase claiming present handling charges are as high as should be allowed. Sugar interests also assert the port commissioners have no right to set freight handling charges. RULES A new set of qualifications for contractors bidding on port building projects will also be presented for approval by commissioners.

Commissioners say more rigid rules on qualifications are necessary to prevent interruption of new port projects. A report on tabulations of bids for some $8,000 worth of cast iron pipe for port water lines is scheduled to be made by Acting Port Manager JacK Spangler. dicated yesterday they would seek a permit to expand the present facility. A previous request for such a permit was turned down by the County Commission. Commissioners yesterday indicated they would approve the second request.

Bell said yesterday, he could not approve the request to make additional connections because he planned to meet Oct. 20 with members of the Broward Estates Civic Assn. to discuss the entire issue. SEEK PERMITS The chairman made his statement concerning sale of housing in Broward County when a company attorney said the additional connections were needed because builders were seeking permits to construct homes in the area covered by the plant. ai nii a Dixie entered a guilty plea yesterday before Court of Judge O.

Edgar Williams Jr. Francis was ordered remanded to county jail without bond pending a pre-sentence investigation. Francis, a steel worker, was jailed along with Thurston Tharpe, 38, 4111 SW 31st Lake Forest, a chef, and Harry Lyle Pouter, 34, 501 Hallan-dale Beach Hallandale, a mechanic.

The trio also are charged with burglaries at the Southern Steel 1812 SW 31st West Hollywood, and at Ye Olde Hocke Shoppe, Maggie's Bar and Friendly Inn, Hallandale.

Knoblock's attack came after the FCD at a meeting with Dania City Manager Charles Peters in West Palm Beach yesterday re-1 I lfFezwfeps HAMBURGER SYSTEM ever done for you people?" There is a great deal of sentiment in favor of Houston at this time. People seem to be dissatisfied with the accomplishments of the present administration. But Major George Knoblock said he is willing to match their accomplishments with what has been done in past years. "What many people don't realize," said Knoblock, "is that the new regime has been in office only nine months." jetted Knoblock plan to save part of the city's dump. The mayor's proposal called for the straightening of the Hollywood C10 Canal and moving of the adjoining bridge.

Both the FCD and the School Board are badgering Dania to abandon the dump, but for different reasons. The FCD wants the land to widen and deepen the Hollywood CIO Canal.
