But Lee and ssociates flouted the law; they refused to dievrt any of the county’s gasoline mon- ey either to the city or to the school board. The Citizen does not know on what grounds they have refused to abide by the law, but Crummer himself testified that their oppo- ion was directed at him, not at the pre- visions of his contract with the city, and for that reason they opposed the diversion oi funds. If Lee, Watson and Larsen have “got {it in” for Crummer, that’s their privilege, | as we remarked before, but, in exercising | that privilege, they strike a far heavier blow Key West than they do to shuf! at the taxpayers in at Crummer.
