COUNCILS TIMoRoUs ACTION

The action of the City Council in once
more showing symptoms of weak neart
when the question of collecting taxes
comes up for consideration, at least serves
the purpose of putting US on notice that no
constructive action may be looked for
from that source.
1t must be obvious to any of us that
the first step toward performing any serv-
ice for the city, is the providing of money
with which to pay for such service.
It is equally obvious that we have no
right even to consider any of the steps
which, as a community we must take be-
fore we can be considered a desirable
community in which to invest time and
money, until we have first paid to our
policemen, our firemen and other creditors
at whose expense the city has been run,
the money due them
Again, it is perfectly obvious that
there is only one source from which this
money can come; and that is the source
provided by the mutual agreement of all
of US, the tax levy.
1t was made plain at the meeting of
the City Council on Feb. Bird, that there
was neither need nor intention to distress
property owners who were getting no
revenue from their property; or who, for
other reasons, were unable to pay.
There is a sufficient amount on the
delinquent tax list, of taxes due on revenue
producing property and on property own
ed by citizens who can find money for
every purpose except TO pay their debt to
the city, citizens who do pay their taxes
on property in other cities, to enable the
city to meet its obligations and in so doing
to better conditions so that more and more
property would move into the productive
class.
We question the right of debtors to
the city, or of men who are reputed to
represent debtors, to assume to represent
the city in case where the interests of
the city lie on one hand, and the assumed
interests of the debtors lie on the other
No judge would presume to act in a
judicial capacity, in case in which he
was financially involved He would
promptly disqualify himself; and if he did
not, his findings would be subject to ques-
tioning in a higher court
Councimen who are delinquent, or
whose interests are closely involved with
those of delinquents, are in exactly the
same category.
Their findings are subject to review
by the authority which placed them in the
position they occupy-the public.
Fortunately, they are not appointed
for life. Not only can they be removed,
if the public so desires, but at stated in
tervals they automatically are placed be-
fore the public for review.
The question of whether the City of
Key West, or the debtors of the city of
Key West are to secure representation, is
one that the public has the power to de-
eide as it deems best.

 "The grouse supply throughout the country fluctuates in eight of ten year cycles. The birds reach Q peak of plenitude, suddenly begin to disappear, and after a few years to decline start to increase toward the next peak.
 Connecticut saw the latest peak in the supply of grouse in 1895 and probably the summer of 1886. Today the Connecticut grouse population apparently Is very spotty with num- bers of the birds in some localities and a few in others"
