COUNCIL PASSES

Continued from Page One)
giving a list of different classes
of businesses and amount of oc-
cupational licenses to be charged
was read and ordered placed on
file.
Thomas Bocheff, former police
officer. who was dismissed from
the force some time ago by Mayor
AIbury. addressed the council and
stated that he would like to have
the mayor give the council his
(the mayor'9 reasons for doing
away with his services. The
mayor made no reply in the mat
ter. It was shown that the mayor
has the right to hire or fire any
member of the police force. and
is not required to give any reason
in the matter as this is one of his
prerogatives as the chief execu-
tive of the city.
An ordinance regulating the op-
Grafton of bicycles over the streets
of Key West came up for discus
sion, after which it was decided
to refer It to the ordinance COM
mittee for redrafting.
An ordinance regulating the
operation of different businesses
and fixing amount of licenses was
passed on its second and final
reading.
An amended ordinance was
passed on its initial reading max
ing a change in the old ordinance
relative to the payment of a por-
ton of the receipts of the Key
West, Gas Company to the city.
II was shown that the city has not
received any revenue IN the mat
ter since. 1923. due, to the fact
that the company has not shown
a fair profit in its operations since
that time. The amended ordin-
ance, however, calls for a pay
ment of two percent gross instead
of ten percent net, which has been
in effect since 1923.
A letter was read from Mayor
Albury to Willard Gibson, sani-
tary Inspector, relative to condi-
tions of many lots in Key West
which are considered mosquito
breeding places, with the request
that the inspector take some steps
to have this condition remedied.
After considerable discussion, it
was decided to have the ordinance
changed TO the extent whereby
the mayor may have all power
necessary in having this law en-
forced. With the new ordinance.
the mayor viii instruct the sani-
tary inspector to have these lots
cleaned UP Immediately, and if
the owners refuse to comply. they
viii be subject to a fine in the
matter.
The matter of having the streets
wet down was brought before the
meeting. It was shown that many
complaints had been received
from visitors. and residents as
well. in this matter. It was finally
decided to make an effort to have
a sprinkler 60 over the streets at
certain periods during the dry
spell in order to keep the dust
down.
