Judging from the talk that is making the rounds of the town the number of can- didates for city commission is likely to be as large as has usually been the case with councilmen. As The Citizen remarked on several occasions, the fact that the form of govern- ment in Key West would be changed did not mean’ that members of' the’é council | or other city officials could. pot.run for | office as they have been, doing. st We have heard many remarks about the present council being topheavy with seven members, and‘it has'beén said that five could have functioned iyst as well, if not better. We think that at least some of the council will agree to that statement. So there will be five commissioners, and those councilmen who wish to run for membership on the commission may do so just as well and as easily as they did for membership on the council. Indeed, we have been informed that several members of the council will be in the field, though the only one who has thus far declared he will be a candidate is Gerald Saunders.
