Insofar 3 the new council goes along on_ that municipal councilmen 100 per cent. It is only logical to assume that all of our people will be back of an aggressive and forward-looking city council. Key West needs municipal service of a high order at this time. The city can cnly grow and develop if our city officials are alert to grasp the oppor- tunities that present themselves. If im- provements are needed to help the city grow and develop, the improvements “shouid be pushed by our city officials. | There must be no more buck-passing and inertia in city hall. Conditions must be met squarely and fairly and action must match the requirements of the moment. The Citizen congratulates our new city officials and wishes them every suc- cess in steering this tiny ship of state | through the threatening economic seas to the safe harbor of municipal health and prosperity. U-BOATS IN WORLD WAR In comparison with the enormous losses inflicted on shipping by German sub- luring the World War, the losses almost in- significant so far. For between 1914 and 1918 abcut 5,860 British merchantmen, totalling approximately 13 million tons, were sent to the bottom marines The loss of Allied shipping other than British is estimated at considerably more th about two million tons. The grand total | of vessels sunk thus reached about 18 mil- | lion tons, Total submarine sinkings during the first 10 weeks of the present war have been only about half a million tons. How many submarines have been destroyed in the meantime is not known, but the Allies | | appear to take an optimistic view of the situation. During the World War, the German records show that they lost a total of 199 sunk at sea, 7 were interned at neutral ports after being damaged, and 14 were blown up by the Germans themselves to prevent their capture. At the outbreak of the World War Germany had only 20 submarines in com- mission, but additional ones were built rapidly. The greatest number ever in service at one time was 140, and about 120 were in commission at the end of the | war. The present Administration has 920,- 310 civil employees on its payroll. That’s 2,550 more than at the World War peak of November 11, 1918. Yet President | Roosevelt assured the nation that upon his election to the presidency he would cut down expenses 25 per cent.

Mrs. Maria Gutsens, hardy 70-year-old | pioneer, who was: one of the first to found the hospital and {has continued the work, will |probably be pensioned by the (county. There is about $200 a |month given by both city and 'county to Mercedes Hospital. The ‘county clinic is once again reach. ing the end of its rope. Opera- |tions, for instance, are ordered With combination of the two, great saving may be effected. The Clinic’s drug department will be moved to Mercedes, its medical taff will be available there, and it is possible the county Health | Unit will have its offices there. MERCEDES HOSPITAL is a jlarge place, beautifully aired. | There are about 25 beds there, which are badly needed by many j patients’ in town.

Will Doughtry was accused of uSing the word “nigger” in addressing a negro audience and Albury’s political workers immediately spread the accusation through- out the city. “Doughtry will close gambling” was another catch phrase used by the cam- Paign workers. Doughtry never denied this charge and even went to pains to show he was a strong churchman. The opposi- tion rode this horse to town most effectively. One source tells us somewhat over $1,000 was spent in the mayoralty race. Politicians have seen the sharpening of the axe and it is soon about to fall. About twenty candidates for po- licemen have approached Albury workers for jobs. Several police on the present force worked against Albury and will get the axe, undoubtedly. Albury forces worked for at least three months nightly on the campaign. AROUND TOWN: Mickey Par- rott’s little son is probably glad the election is over, Everywhere that Mickey went the little son was sure to go. Another smart election phase. . .The smaller members of the schoolboy patrol will probably soon be replaced by older members. The real youngsters were a little too small to be in the patrol. . .Al- berto Camera showed real per- sonal strength in the campaign. In spite of strong opposition in many phases, Camero’s personal following was strong enough to put him over. Ask Camero for the inside on the campaign. . . The Citizens and Taxpayers) point out that their work in put- ting up good candidates for the coming election has resulted in a stronger city council than would have been the case before . . One fine point in an address before the election was made by Ralph Boyden. He said he ask- ed a neighbor for his vote. Neigh- bor replied, “Sure, what’s your name”. Ralph said that was all right, too, he didn’t know _ the man’s name, either. IT WILL CERTAINLY be an eventful two years coming up. Files Of The Citizen highest cbjective of and ‘of life.
