NEW AIR SERVICE The following greetings were received by The Citizen from the National Airlines from the | Jacksonville office under the signature of MacDonald Bryan, director of Public Information. “Just thought you might bej interested in having this first flight cover to add to your col-| lection.

Fol- { lowing the commission meeting | tonight, in which they will ask that they be allowed to appoint I fire chief, they have a ry meeting scheduled for to- me. According to records in ecretary John Roberts’ files since) 1940 only 17 firemen have died in e five years. This has cost city only $340 a year, which is the only monetary compensa- {tion the Volunteers have asked In addition to giving their serv- ices free, they also do not ask compensation for shoes or clothes ruined while fighting fire. ee | $30,090 Fire Department Ex-Councilman Glenwood Sweet- ing brought along the old charter} under which the city operated nd pointed out where it was specified that the Volunteers ild name the chief and that it id then be approved by the mayor, not by the city commis- ion. This privilege is denied tem under the new charter. Sec- y Roberts says that if the hired all its firemen on straight salary, cost would be $20,- 000 a year in addition to present city operating expenses. Roberts | tes that five firemen are re- | quired om each watch, thus mak- 20 at each fire station or a} total of 40 firemen required. The jlunteers at present number 201) eight companies. No! n is allowed to become a volun-} r unless he is available for uty at all times. ee Few Payroll Changes ci Latest reports on the payroll,; which is being made up right now, is that all persons who were ed on the November 13 roll will continue on the new one being made up today for pay- nt tor , except those of- which have been abolished. instance, there is no pro- for a city health officer u the new charter and the | office held by Dr. H. C. Galey is automatically abolished and the pay which goes with it. How- ever, most of the other positions will continue. ng this with City Manager Bill Demeritt today and he said that it would be very easy to fire everyone in the city hall but that his motto has always been to work well with what you have and he thought that the principal { point to stress right now is that with proper supervision he didn’t know of a bad worker at present on the city’s rolls. i eo | The Right To Disagree Regarding the Karl Thompson article yesterday it was stated that one of his lots was cleaned ‘up. This was not so. An offer | of $100 was made to clean it up. and there have been low- , too, according to a lady informant. Manager Demeritt said again today that he intends ! to see that vacant lots be cleaned up or a warrant for arrest of the property owner issued. | to say right now that when this column cracks at any of the city’s action it is doing so in a con- | structive spirit, thinking both of city admnistration and the wel- fare of the citizens. ee fice For vis: ..| No Rubbers On Pencils Keys east inishing and lorida REPORT West, F Ea: Dec. a ern Standard 1 4, 1945 t 7:30 am. e (City Office) Tighest Temperatu: res Precipitation 24 hours 8:30 a.m.; inc inch inches inches since inches time of| Total rainfall since Dec January ending 1, Deficiency since Dec. 1, 1 Relative Humidity 66 Tomorrow’s Almanac Sunrise Sunset | Moonrise Moonset Tomorrow's Tides (Naval Base) High Tide 10:55 a.m. 9:51 p.

The City Commi der penalty of law, is not suppos to suggest appointments to city manager. Most opinion i j that the services of this commit- tee and the director may be term- inated at any time the city mana- ger sees fit. Thus far, we ye found no term of office broached to us as to how long the commit- tee may be in office, and ; that upon election of a new com- mission, which has just been done, that automatically all of- fices within the city power may be terminated. It is also reported ‘that Mr. Kirke’s possible suc- j cessor has been mentioned.

Then have come about the fold Zoning Board Appeals | granting many apparent viola-| | tions of the Zoning lav Well.| the present commission will soon take hold and appoint a zoning board composed of the city mana- ger and the commissioners, who will be the final board of appeals in these zoning cases., There will also be a zoning commission.
