Something which will aid greatly in Key West’s marine de- eviopment. a e ry ’ COMMERCIAL BOATS Once upon a time the charter boats in Key West were the fin- est boats in the city and the com- mercial boats were old and usual- ly powered with an automobile motor or an old Palmer “one lang- er”. But since the war started there are several boats which are beauties and used just for com- mercial fishing. They all have the low housing forward with the stern sheets quite open to allow moving around while fishing and loading the fish on. ° e KINGFISH SCARCER | Kingfish, which have been close to shore, have not been found in such great numbers for the past |two years. You could see the huge fleets of commercial fisher- men within sight of Rest Beach or just south of Woman Key in the past few years as the schools | moved inside the reefs from the Sambos and to Hawk Channel out to Rebecca and Dry Tortugas, their winter grounds, but the fish seem to have caught on tg man’s habits and the best catches now are down at No Man’s Land, | which is fifty miles west of Key West. Fishermen report plenty of fish down there. It is a hard} trip, however, with lay-over ‘ I get and at least no lawyer has corroborated them. With the ex- ception of the four department heads, which are Charles Roberts in Department of Finance, -De- partment of Public Safety; De- partment of Public Welfare, De- partment of Public Service, and certain employes, such as muni- cipal judge, city attorney, all oth- er employes who are not employ- ed at the time the new commis- sion went into office, are requir- ed to go through civil service pro- cedure first. At present, because civil service board is not thor- oughly organized for examina- tions, perhaps there is a question that this board will merely give certificates to men to be appoint- ed. Then Manager King appoints these men. In normal cases the civil service board gives full ex- amination and present highest three to the manager for his se- lection. The manager may re- ject all three if not satisfied and call for more examinations. ° ° CHARTER INCONSISTENCIES There is a great deal in the charter which will have to be changed in the future. There are a great many legal loopholes and the codification is not very good. Thus. what amendments will be required to make it more cohe- sive and less contradictory will havé to be presented at the next session of the legislature. ° JANITOR KEPT The change in the city budget nights at Marquesas and fisher- |men would have preferred to fish} | just off Key West. The late Ben) Tink Demeritt, who knew more} about Key West fishing than any | ever did, often said that fish; were quite wise and changed | {their habits for their best wel-) fare. Up at Miami in the old! days fish could be found over the; tiny strip of reef near Miami and} kingfish were brought in in just! as great numbers as they are here} now. But you can only get king-! fish off Miami way out -in the} Stream now and the reef is bare. ° ° DROP OFF HERE -~ In many years of fishing here since I was five years old and owned a five-foot skiff, I have noticed a drop off in the number of fish caught. Not many ye go right up into the Sub base at the Navy Yard and boats would catch from thirty to forty an aft- ernoon. Then they moved just off the breakwater and the last time I have caught that number they were out on the reefs seven miles from shore. It seems to me that kingfish have been drop- ping off from their spots close to Key West in the last seven years corroborates that. During the war the refs were quite thick with barracuda but you watch what a few years of charter boat fish- ing will do to them. This is a good time to start sportsmanlike By HUGO 8. SIMS, Special Washington Correspondent of The Citizen | tactics in releasing fish among Alcoa Releases Patents Fo: Aluminum Process For some weeks the Govern- r t has been attempting to pose of some of its aluminum is art Symington, Surplus Property Administrator, recently charged that the Aluminum Company oi nerica was withholding its patents to obstruct the sale of the plants to competitors and t the Company was attempt- ing to secure the more desirable plants for itself to “increase and olidify its own monopolistic position.” The allegation, regardless ts accu when made, been disposed of by the ment of has agree- of the Company to grant free use of its aluminum pro- n patents to the Govern- with the right to sub- them to companies leas- ng Government-ow plants. As a result, it is expected that several of the alumina plants will be sold to other interests. The Department of Justice has proceeding pending against the Aluminum Company of America, under the anti-trust 1 but Attorney - General voices his the development, which declares is “entirely in line the objective” of the Gov- ernment in pending litigation. le we do not know the ives behind the arrangement announced, we think that the k ver minum Company, should be! mended for its present at- t .

The answer is nobody, unless it an be accomplished at the ex- pense of other beneficiaries of federal spending. | Big busine in spite of its ful pleas for an end of de- ficit financing, does: not. want to balance the budget»-if it ;means no reductions*,in taxes j and, possibly, higher levies, | Labor leadérs do not want it if it means governmental pressure to prevent wage in- }8erous inflation.

There jis no reason for anybody to ex- \Ppect a balanced budget in view jof this popular frame of mind. When federal expenditures go down, there will arise demands |for tax reductions or larger | benefits. Few voices will arise \ for holding on to high taxes in ;order to set the government's financial house in order. Demobilization Develops Dangerous Demoralization Apparently the size of the Army of the United States, in- cluding the number of men to remain overseas, is about to ‘be designed to persaude Congress to “pass a law”. This will be the novel con- tribution of this country to the art of warfare. It will serve {notice to the world that the armed forces of the nation are out of control and that there is little semblance of discipline. We make this comment with full knowledge that thousands of men, now overseas, have just. | grievances. They know that their turn home has been delayed | because men, with less claim to discharge, have been turned | loose and that those who should j now be en route to relieve them creases that may lead to a dan-| | the charter boats. e ° KING REALLY STRONG | I find City Manager Dave King | to be quite a strong man and one thing I like about him is the | quickness with which he admits he is wrong. He analyzes a sit- |uation very quickly and hits the} id much better than | | nail on the hea {most city officials. Even if hit- |ting the nail on the head drives it into himself. Well, one of the tests of a man is his ability to and then when the time comes for action still come out fight- ing. e CIVIL SERVICE | APPOINTMENTS Checking over the city charter carefully, these are the opinions ago large crevalle jacks used .to| and fishermen reports this year} absorb an attack or punishment | which added more money to the Health Unit in regard to the jan- itor there was necessitated by the lease which the city signed at the time for construction of the Unit. This lease required a full-time janitor for the building. The amount for the janitor was in- cluded in a slight revision in the budget which was reported by Manager King at the last meeting of city commission. ° ° ARCHIE AT WORK Saw the new city tax collector and treasurer at work yesterday, Archie Roberts. Asked how he liked the job, he replid in the \affirmative but stated that there {was a lot to learn and that there jwas a lot of work in the office. ‘Archie is a very clean-cut young |Conch and an ideal type of per- json for municipal authority. ° ° NO CLUB AFFILIATIONS City Manager King, by the | way, will not become affiliated with any one civic club nor’ does he belong to any one church. Mr. King stated that from time to time he would probably attend various club meetings. His re- ligion is not confined to one \church and that in the past he has had the practice of attending various churches and would con- |tinue to do so here. ° e | ALLEN STAY HERE | Look for Joe Allen, popular !young business manager of The Citizen, to be stationed in the 7th Naval District, if not right here in Key West. Joe has al- {ways produced such fine work | wherever he has gone that high- er-ups seek him eagerly. There is a lot of stuff to Joe. People say of him that you cannot an- ger him, that regardless of what comes up he is still the same ismiling Joe. e e CALLAHAN’S FOTINGA Commander Callahan, who will be stationed in Miami, asked about the little “fotinga” or small car he used to ramble around in at the Naval Station. He was in- formed that the little tyker is still running around the station, although it is not carrying offi- cials now but is hauling various materials. |NORMAN C.

Y.—While “con- tented cows” graze leisurely, the male of the species gets his daily exercise on a device resembling a merry-go-round. ; The New York Artificial Breed- jers Cooperative, which plays jnursemaid to some 60 of the na- tion’s outstanding sires, has in- stalled a new mechanism con- sisting of a large wheel with long overhead spokes that reach out {from the hub. Six bulls are exercised at one time on the electrically-driven gadget. The bulls are attached to the ends of the spokes by a rope and chain which pass through their nose rings. As the wheel revolves, the animal is “urged” onward. Each bull travels about a mile walking ‘round and round for a half-hour—six days a week. Even bulls get Sundays off.
