KEY VESTS DOUBLE GOVERNMENT

The federal governments 194O census
figures, released with complete break
downs this week for the first time, give a
clear picture of the waste entailed IN this
areas duplicate Monroe county and Key
West governments.
Showing the highest percentage OF
urban population in the state, Monroe
county's population is divided between the
1921 persons living in Key West and the
eL151 who live in the entire remainder OF
the county.
Thus 91.8 per cent Of the Monroe
county population lives under the double
government Of the city and county, paying
for both, while the other 80 per cent makes
up the population for which the county gov
eminent actually is intended.
Admitting that the county in this case
does perform many of the functions OF
normal city, it is difficult to see what the
taxpayers of Key West gain by supporting
two governments, when single one could
do the same job at less expense and with
greater efficiency.
Studying the system Of county and city
governments in the nation as a whole, it Is
easy to see that the local system is out OF
step with the general trend. stsssV
Webster's dictionary, for instance de-
fines county government, and adds that
such government is less important than the
town. and city in the northeast more I'M
portant than the town and city in the
south. and on about an equal footing in the
middle west.
The obvious reason is that the more
thickly populated, urban sections OF the
northeast get sufficient government from
the cities and towns, with the county carry
ing on the minor job of caring for the few
who are not so governed. In the south,
with greater rural areas, the need for a
county government is proportionately
greater.
Manatee county, with an urban pop
ulation of 55.7 per cent, just about strikes
the average for the state and provides a
good example of the true purpose of city and
county governments. The state popula-
ton is divided between 55.1 per cent urban
residents and 44.9 per cent in rural
areas)
Manatee, which is listed in the census
as having population of 26,098, has its
population almost split in half between its
three cities and one town on one hand, and
its farm districts ON the other.
The reason for the double system of
government there is obvious-but why
here?

New Auto Models Nav

Chonee-over Hos
Delayed Output,
Detroit Reports
By DAVID J. WILKIE,
Press AutomotIve Editor

DETROIT, July THE automo-
bile industry's new model year will
begin on August !, but there is little
prospect any of the car manufac-
turers will have 1912 model vehi-
cles ready for delivery before mid
month.
This is due not to materials short
ages, priorities or the production
curtailment ordered in the interest
of the national defense program. but
to the fact that time is required
to get changed manufacturing op-
erations under way, even though
no ma lor mechanical changes in the
cars are contemplated.
Production activities throughout
the industry continued at high level
up until July l. Since then a sharp
tapering off in output schedules has
been ordered by many of the manu-
facturers and couple have finished
l941 model output.
Last weeks extended holiday put
all companies on four-day Sched-
ule with assemblies showing a con-
sequent decline. Wards Reports.
Inc. in its survey of production
activities estimated last weeks as
semblies at 96.457 cars and trucks,
This compared with 1926 in the
previous week.
Five-Day Week Resumed.
For the current week most of the
car makers have resumed on five
day schedule instead of the six-day
basis that has been the rule in re-
cent weeks. Most Of the ma alor
producing companies which have
enjoyed heavy backlogs of untitled
orders plan to continue current
model output right through to the
end of July. but their schedules, too,
will be tapered of.
The larger manufacturers have
been able TO do considerable new
model work despite the pressure of
l94l unit production, Trade circles,
nevertheless, still are specializing
upon how soon they will have pilot"
models ready. The pilot cars. first
units off the lines. show exactly
what production problems have to
be provided for.
Plans for the public introduction
of the new models also are vet 10 be
completed. In some quarters it

will be one that will give proper
emphasis 10 the fact the car in
