PAGE FOUR MANEUVERINGS AND HAPPENINGS IN KEY WEST’S POLITICAL FIELD! Assuming that Mayor Willard M. Albury is appointed to suc- ceed Lieutenant Commander Mel- vin E. Russell as superintendent of public instruction, the likelihood is that as many candidates as half a dozen will be in the field for mayor at the election next Novem- Phat assert ad Ss founded on althost— a certainty that Mayor Albury, if he is named Superintendent, will not run for re-election as head of the city, because, if there is any one thing that will kill a man politically in Key West it is for him to aspire for one public office while he is filling another. Whenever that has been done, Key West voters, without exception, have shoulder- ed the figurative axe and have proceeded to chop off’ political heads. Among the men to whom that has happened was one of the most popular politicians Key West has ever had. It happened, despite the fact that he publicly announced he would resign his city office im- mediately on his being elected to the county office for which he was a candidate. Further, a city official said to- day that the right thing for Mayor Albury to do, in the event that he is named superintendent, would be to resign the mayorship imme- _ diately and give some other man a chance to fill that office. Key Westers squirm, and they are right in squirming, if any one resident draws two salaries in filling two political jobs. There have been guesses rang- ing from $3,600 to $7,500 a year about the salary paid the superin- tendent of schools. The fact is the amount varies, and is based on the revenue collected! !by Monroe county the preceding year. At present the salary is $317.50 a a month, based on last year's col- lections, but the sum will be more next year, because of the excess of this year's collections over those in 1942. This morning Lieutenant Com- mander Russell said he had not yet heard from his request for a leave of absence, which he had mailed to Governor Holland a week ago. ee One of the proposed chances in the city charter provides for paying each councilman $75 a month, which is the sum paid to each member of the county com- mission. If it county commissioner ceive that salary, questions the fairness. How much fairer is it for a councilman to be paid a similar sum? The commis- sion meets twice a month, and if a commissioner is not present, his salary is paid; the council meets four times a month, and if a coun- cilman is not present, he loses $8 of his salary, which can not be more than $32 a month. Here is a better illustration: The moment Dr. Julio de Poo stopped attending the council’s meetings, his salary ceased, but, had he been a county commission- er, he would have continued to receive his salary, assuming he did not resign, which is true of his office as councilman. t+ #8 The day after the story appear- ed in The Citizen about the three men who likely will oppose Sheriff Berlin Sawyer in the next pri- mary, Tax Assessor Claude Gan- dolfo, who . contemplates running for the Democratic nominaton for sheriff, remarked that a “dark- horse,” judging from the informa- tion he had received, also will be in the race. * * Representative Bernie Papy will leave next Wednesday for Tallahassee to attend the session of the legislature. Bernie has de- jclared that he will not introduce ‘legislation to change some pro- visions of the city charter until the people of Key West have been given an opportunity to learn what the proposed changes are and to express opinion about them. He suggests that at least two mass meetings be held in City Hall for that purpose. . * to * BIG DANCE TONIGHT AT BOULEVARD CLUB Raul’s Club on the Boulevard is now open every week day from 3 o’clock till midnight. It is the only spot of its kind out of the downtown district where one may go to spend a_ delightful after- noon or evening amid restful sur- roundings.
