Maloney ReappOinted Road
Patrolman; Commissioners
Sustain Action OF Craig

Raymond MaloneY. dropped
from his county road patrol job a
week ago. goes back TO work TO-
day on the appointment of Com
missioner r. w. craig-but the
battle in county commission goes
on.
MaloneY re-won his job last
night as the commissioners by a
three-two vote passed a motion
permitting the chairman of the
road committee (craig) to appoint
a patrolman.
Commissioners Eddie Gomez
and j. Frank Roberts Immediately
protested, announcing they would
refuse to recognize the appoint
ment of Maloney and would OPP
pose allowing him pay or expense
money. Sheriff Berlin Sawyer,
hearing that Craig intended to re-
appoint Maloney, said he would
refuse to deputize him.
Sawyer, whose refusal to
deputize Maloney led to the
patrolman's dismissal last week,
announced from his home that he
still considers the appointment
contrary to the best interests of
his office and the majority of the
key residents.
Commissioner Norberg Thomp-
son opened the battle shortly after
the meeting began. He proposed
a motion which would permit
Craig to make the appointment
without consulting Gomez, who is
also member of the road COM
mission.
Thompson introduced petitions
from residents of the upper keys,
showing 1856 signatures of voters
desiring patrolman. Asked what
he would do about the refusal of
Sheriff Sawyer to deputize Ma
loney, Thompson said he believed
Governor Spessard l.. Holland
would order the sheriff to add
Maloney to his staff if it were
shown the majority of people here
desired the appointment.
Roberts Immediately pointed
cut to Thompson that the petit
tons asked only for a patrolman
mot for Maloney.
Chairman Carl Bervaldi, who
voted with Gomez and Roberts a
week ago to abolish the job,
swung to the other side last night,
and with Thompson and Craig
forced the motion through.
The session lasted only about
half an hour and the battle over
Maloney's appointment took up
most of the discussion.
Thompson, Gomez and Roberts
were named to a committee to
study county tax assessments with
Assessor Claude Gandolfo this
week and Thompson was asked
by Bervaldi to continue his look
for a suitable site for the county
health offices.
A bill outlawing billboards on
Overseas highway was returned

Board Of Public Works.
Members Submit Their
Resignation To Council
b Action Taken; Many
Other Matters Heard AT
Special Meeting Last
Night

Night
In a communication to the City
! Council. which was read at the
special meeting last night, the
members of the Board of Public
Works rendered their resignation
TO become effective March l. The
letter stated that the board would
stop functioning at that time. and
would turn over all matters to the
council. which would assume all
duties now being performed by
the Public Works Board. This
was brought about due to the fact
that the Council at a recent meet
ing moved to have the legislature
pass special act abolishing the
Board of Public Works.
The council failed to take any
action on the designations, and
appointed committee, composed
Of Councilmen Sweeting, Boyden
and Brinton, to contact the MEM
bers of Public Works Board and
request them to continue func-
tioning until their term of office
expires this coming November.
Regarding Election
Councilman Sweeting made
proposal that the charter be
changed relative to the length of
time in the term of office for city
officials. The proposal is that
elections continue to be held in
November, and that the three
councilmen receiving the highest
number of votes be elected for a
four-year term, with the other
four to serve for two years, which
would necesSitate a special cleo
ton every two years to take care
OF the two-year term. All other
officials under this arrangement
would be elected for four years.
This would be by a legislative
act, and referendum of the people.
The motion was carried with five
councilmen voting yes, with Ram
sey and Freeman voting no.
The matter of a general sales
tax for Key West was brought
before the meeting by Councilman
Ramsey. After considerable dis
cussion, il was decided to hold
this matter over for further con-
sideration, and to be taken up at a
meeting some time during the
month.
To Inspect Building
Mayor Albury stated that he
had received letter from Captain
Jacobs. commandant of the local
Naval Station, stating that an in
spection would soon be made of
the old naval hospital building,
which the government proposes
TO take over. The city has been
maintaining this property for
some time. Councilman Brinton
was named as a committeeman to
confer with County Commissioner
Eorberg Thompson relative to Sc
curing a suitable building 10 take
care of the clinic which is now To-
Gated in the hospital building.
The WPA social welfare office
and commodity room viii also
have to be taken care of. There
were two places suggested for
taking care of these operations,
the old Cato brick building. cor
ner of Catherine and Grinnell
streets, and the kindergarten
building on Reynolds street. Both
buildings would be used il ar
rangementS can be made to take
them over.
J. J. Romero, earetaker at the
aquarium, was granted a fifteen
day leave Of absence. beginning

Leo Cook requested that he be
permitted TO have a trailer parked
