TAKING THE NAVY!

An Interesting story is behind the
news release made yesterday concerning
city auto licenses in relation to bringing
dinance.
The Citizen was present at a confer
ence Q. navy officials when the subject
came up, prompted chiefly by some eff
cient work on the part of city policemen
who issued arrest slips to a number of
navy men who were without the tags.
Noticeable was the opinion expressed
by all that they wished not to violate any
laws of the city. What they were at loss
to understand, however, was the law it
self. 1t appears that, with very few ex-
ceptions, other navy towns don't have city
auto licenses, and it appeared hard for
navy men here to acclimate themselves to
the idea of paying for the privilege of OPP
Grating their autos in this city.
And that's just what the tax in Key
West Is meant fOr-the privilege Of Op-
eratin.- cars on the city streets. True, its
the only city in Florida that has such a
pr vision, and they do say its illegal, not
,thorize, by state law. But, in its stead,
he city could legislate personal property
taxes against car owners, and, as most
agree, that process would result in a higher
charge.
Notwithstanding, it is hard for city
officials to discriminate between residents
md navy personnel in the matter of auto
tag licenses. Both classificatiOns use the
Streets-sO both, it would appear, are
chargeable with the tax.
Navy officials learned upon investi-
ga n, that those who reside on navy
property will not be required to buy the
tags. They also learned that, in the case
of those who may be detached from service
here, refunds of the license fee paid will
be made. Both provisions appear to be
entirely fair and provide recognition of the
navy's status in Key West.
