FIRST BATTLEsHIP I'm TWENTY YEARS

The first battleship to be built for the
United States Navy in twenty years will
join the fleet in April, when the North
Carolina, first of six sister ships of $4,000
tons, will be commissioned.
1t is interesting to recall that when the
United States decided to disarm and nego-
tiated naval limitation treaty, the North
Carolina, huge dreadnaught then under
construction, was among the first ships to be
scrapped.
In 1920 the United States had great
fleet of battleships, battlecruisers and
auxiliary vessels under construction as re-
suit of the program initiated just before and
during the World War Most of them were
junked when the world thought it had per-
manent peace.
The new battleship, North Carolina, is
being completed about five months ahead
of time. She is considered one of the most
powerful fighting ships in the world Let
us hope that no misguided American gov
eminent will scrap any of the building bat
tleships, regardless of how permanent
peace may appear when it arrives.

TOO MUCH GOVERNMENT

A year ago almost to the day, The Citi-
zen published an editorial urging consolida-
ton of Monroe county and Key West gov
eInments as the major economy move which
could be made by citizens of this area. 1t
is one of the standing points in The Citizens
program for Key West improvements and
it has not been given the study it is due.
Consolidation of city and county gov
ernments to avoid the obvious overlapping
Of duties is a move which has been studied
and experimental with successfully in
many parts of the country, but seldom has
it been tried in place as obviously designed
for it as Key West and Monroe county.
In most cases where the question has
&c me up, county government has been neces-
sary in large rural areas which did not lend
themselves to control from a city. Con-
versey, in most sections the county govern
ment's activities do not intrude greatly on
the larger cities in the county.
With practically the entire population
of Monroe county congregated in Key West
however, the continuous overlapping of
duties makes the taxpayers support of both
utterly foolish. For example, a man who
commits crime in Key West practically
is the object of a race between the police
department, the sheriff's office and the
Justice of the peace officers.
What is needed is the formation of
citizens committee to draw up plans for a
consolidated government and point out to
our legislative representatives the waste
which the present system entails, and that
the change is for the best interests of this
community, but all efforts in the past to
bring about the consummation of this desi-
deratum have been throttled by selfish local
politicians.

THE COMET FOOLS US!

Here's a report on Cunningham's
comet:
The astronomers were led astray by
the comet, we were misled by the as
tronomers and you were, probably, misled
by us.
Up to few days ago the comet had
failed to flare as brilliantly as expected.
The tail remained invisible to the naked
eye. 1t took an expert to identify the
comet, without seeing the tail.
We have searched the western sky on
several occasions but we have seen no
comet. We still want to see a comet and
we are not going to get mad with Cunning
hams celestial visitor. If it will just come
a little closer. or shine bit brighter, so we
can see it with the naked eye, all will be
forgiven.

ABOUT AIRPORT ISSUE

NY thanks to the Chamber of
Commerce for its information
relative to the proposed airport
and with your permission, let us
persue the matter further. The
fact that real estate values adj
vanced with the establishment of
an airport at Opa Locka is no guar
antee that they will advance here,
where conditions are entirely
different. But the fact, if it is a
fact, that there will be no taxation
to pay for this, is most interesting.
If these monies come out of the gas
tax, then where will the county
get the money to replace the funds
thus lost? Is there anything in
the covenants of the proposed
bonds that makes interest and
principal payable only when and
if money is available from the gas
tax? hardly think so. did not
in any sense ''set aside our coun-
tries needs" in asking my ques-
tions-my country's needs are
primarily great deal less hysteria
and emotion and a little more
common sense. l do not seriously
contemplate the aerial lombard
ment of Key West, but if we had
an airport here it might add to the
prospects. l just feel that an
airport for training purposes is
not an asset for Key West and any
ringing in the name of Hitler
throws no dust in my eyes. If
this airport is needed or desired
here it must be either on its eco
nomic merits or as part of what is
known as national defense" Let's
make up our minds which of these
questions is in debate and debate
accordingly. For myself, / throw
out defense, because that is not
what started it and that is not
what contributed to the further
ance of the idea-it is only now
being used as an opportunistic
argument. So we must decide the
question solely on its economic
merits-and SO far / am uncon-
WINGED by the communication from
the Chamber of Commerce.
There are some 5000 free
holders in the county and to date
only 100 have evinced sufficient
interest to register-though many
times that number have registered
for Homestead Exemption. Are
the people really anxious for this
airport?
AS to the 60 interest rate--I
knew only too well that the high
price is dictated by the low status
of Monroe county as credit risk
but as taxation of Monroe coun-
ty is not to be the source of in
terest and principle payment, or so
il is stated, Monroe county's credit
standing should have no bearing
on the interest rate-or am
crazy?
| am willing to vote for this
measure when it is demonstrated
to be of value, so let the Chamber
of Commerce try again.

ton has occurred in portions of the
far West, with heavy rains re-
ported in northern California. A
moderately strong high pressure
area is crested over the area from
the Lake region southwark to the

To many of us, al least, there is
something about Key West that
makes it seem like home. 1t may
be the air, soft and sweet and
mild, yet fresh and stimulating,
that fills one with satisfying con-
tent, whether it be at night or
day; it may be something else or
the combination of many things;
but whatever it is, one who has
been here long enough to let his
northern restless quiet down bit
finds himself feeling at ease and
at home; the people friendly and
neighborly and accommodating;
so much so that one soon feels
that he is one of them, and ''be-
longs. There is an ease of man
ner, both among friends and
neighbors. and all along the street,
that may be born Of the genial
climate. or may arise from its be-
ing a maritime city where many
come and go; whatever the cause,
it makes this city where poverty
and riches mingle as they do on
common terms, a delightful place
in which to live.
