PROGRESSING TOWARD REVISION

Within the next two or three weeks
the Charter Revision Committee which
has been working according to we'll
planned schedule expects to be able to
submit a proposed city charter in SUBJ
stitution of the existing document regulat-
ing the municipal government.
The new document will be submitted
directly to the general public at series
of precinct meetings now being arranged
by a special committee named for that
purpose After the expected objections,
criticisms and suggestions are received,
the central committee may redraft its pro-
posed charter and then submit it to State
Representative Bernie C. Papy, who has
promised to obtain legislative approval
of it.
That's a businesslke and sensible
procedure 1t will provide the curbstone
philosophers with an opportunity. of air.
ing their views and submitting their objec-
lions before the charter goes up to the
Legislature for approval. Already the cor
ner gossips are tearing the proposed char
ter to pieces. 1t seems to make no differ
ence to them that even the Charter Revi-
sion Committee at this time does not know
the form thechafterlwill follow. None of
the proposed provisions so far advanced
by <sub7conqn1itteess has been approved by
the central group, yet objections are be-
ing heard
Naturally, the proposed charter will
not meet with the approval of some of our
public officials. Some of them do not like
the proposal for commission form of gov
eminent, others do not want anything to
do with the suggestion that municipal en-
ployes be placed under civil service regula-
lions and few believe the present char
ter, cumbersome, ineffective collection of
legislative odds and ends which permits
them to escape paying taxes, is just fine
and dandy

membership of the Charter Revision Com
mittee are native Key Westers or residents

Corners in the community who want to
make this better place in which to live.
Instead of lauding the newcomer for his
interest in lettering the community, some
of OF people resent what they call ''this
intrusion by outsiders in running the city,"
1t is time to realize that in order for
this city to grow and prosper it needs new
residents, great deal of capital and fresh
ideas. These must come from the "out-
side. 1t is safe to say that none of the
objectors to outsiders taking hand in
the movement for community betterment
can supply either capital or ideas. Let's
