King is an engineer, and every major project, now under consideration by the commission, needs a manager with an engineering mind. A good many instances may be cited to show how important it was to the city to have an engineer as_ its | managerial head. The most important of those instances wéfé the breakages in the sewer system in several places in‘Key West. Ordinarily, an engineer of King’s capability | would have directed the work from the sideline, but King | | noonly direeted but also worked himself, at one time day | andnight. ™"Key West is fortunate also in having a mayor, C. B. Harvey, who is a civil engineer. It is still more fortunate, intthe knowledge Key Wcsters have, that King and Har- vey-are agreed that the proj st essential to the pro: gress of Key West, is the éxparSion of our sewer system. | That work should not be stopped until every home and business place in Key West is connected with our sewer, As-The Citizen remarked a few days ago, a good sewée| -ystem and an abundant supply of running water are | “nists” to the continued growth of any city. | Nobody is liked by everybody. The reason for that | ‘iréiimstance is not for to find. Whie one’s traits ay | piagise many people, yet 's few will find fault with | some of those traits. A resident recently complained that | Maiiager, King is*too abrupt over the telephone. The Citi- zeti does not think so, and :t knows of many residents who do®not think so. King is a busy man, and what appeared to ‘be abruptness might have been haste to finish talking overthe telephone to attend to other matters that needed | immediate attention. Manager King has tact. Though he insists on the employes doing their duty, yet he is pleasant in his jons with them, They respect him and he respects » In that way he gets more work done for the city thah-used to be the case under our councilmanic form of go¥ernment, which was really without a directing head. --The Citizen, many 2 time under the old form of city government, published stories about buck-passing in City Halk Residents complained to one city official and were direeted to take up the matter with another official. The | Citizen recalls a letter it published, in which the resident | said, in a humorous vein, that,he consulted all, to whom he had been directéd and? findlly game hat the man who first passed the buck. \ | pa The city manager form of government kills buck- | passitig. It is now up to Manager King to act, and he has demonstrated that he acts efficienfly. | =-The lazy man never works; the average man always hk; and the brainy man gets the dough, SLIC E OF HAM | pee ————— i> He ] by-side, to keep travel down to 55 pound) will be adequate for two.
