One city employe declared that he wished he was as sure of getting $1,000,000 as he was that the commission would. put the men back on the force. The ‘exception is a lawyer, Who said he had badd informed that pressure had been brought to bear on the commission to approve King’s action in dismissing the po- . licemen. Asked from whom he had obtained that infor- ; mation, he said he did not feel in a. position to reveal the * identity of his informant. 3 What will King do if the four men are reinstated? * Interest was far greater in his action than than it was ~* in the men’s getting back on the force. Many Key Westers, - among them city employes, expressed the hope that he - would not resign. Others said they regretted that, when > the matter came up before the city commission..a, > weeks ago, he had been so hasty. in remarking that rs 8 men were reinstated it would mean that he would be “re-* instated” himself, which was equivalent to asserting that he would resign. : Sentiment generally in the community is that King? | will not leave his post. Even several Key Westers, who favor the reinstatement of the policemen, expressed hope that King would see his way clear to continue as city manager. “He, has made_a good manager,” was the general comment, though several Key. Westers who expressed | that opinion were critical of some of his. Caen eo aeng ee that. beingcity manager of Key West: : job, and no manager, regardless. of aan et er! could please everybody. ; ; , One city commissioner told Pha. Gitixen he had, no | doubt. whatever. over King’s resigning, : and the commitis- | gioner-added that he also would’ resign’ if King ‘diseon- tinues ‘serving the city. The" €itizen heard further ‘that two commissioners intend to give up their, jobs, if, King resigns, but was unable to Confirm that report, - At least the downtown part of the city is a-quiver over what action the civil service commission will take, with the probability of reinstating the policemen, whch probably will be followed by the resignations of King and a sper one commissioner. . .
