MAY DROP OUT OF
WAR PICTURE

The owl rerClt on commercial
airline operation in the war comes
out Just in time for what may be a
swan song on their effort. In the
beginning, the commercial airlines
did the whole job. Army and Navy
had no personnel, no planes, no eX-
perience for transport job, so the
airlines furnished everything and
did all the work.
Today, on the transport operation,
the commercial airlines are doing
about 80 per cent of the work BY
the end of 1914 the commercial air
lines will be doing only about 10
Der cent Of the work. If the war
lasts long enough, there may come
time when the services will be
Going all their own air transport
flying, and the airlines will be back
in private business, exclusively.
For the airlines have taught the
services how to run an airline. lhe
airlines have run schools to train
transport pilots and navigators and
ground crews and operations per-
sonnel.
When the services first went into
air transport, the commercial ar
lines had all the transport planes
359 of them before Pearl Harbor.
The services bought It's, turning
about half over to military and
naval crews and assigning the
others to the airlines to operate for
the services on a contract basis,
hauling military cargo.
Today, with hundreds OF new
military transport planes coming OIL
the production lines, the armed
services are becoming more and
more self sufficient. Twenty OF the
planes taken from the airlines have
now been returned to them for
commercial operation, giving the
civil domestic airlines a fleet OF 2O2
planes with which to operate.
So, gradually, the commercial ar
lines, which have been inSistently
urging that they be given more
planes so as to permit them to DO
their wartime job of carrying more
domestic passengers, mail and eX-
press. are having this demand met.
But it may be that the more civil
flving they do the less they will be
doing for the Army and Navy. And
before long they may be converted
back to their civilian business en-
tirely

Tolls collected at the Overseas
Highway bridges are still keeping
pace with the large amounts that

periods of 194l, which was one of
the best years, from a viewpoint

The amount of collections last

Collections last month totaled

EXPECTED COUNTY
BOARD WILL Get
ORGANIZED SOON
MUCH SPECULATION AS TO
WHO WILL BE SELECTED AS
CHAIRMAN OF THE COM
MISSION

That thing hope, which, as the
poet says, Springs eternal in the
human breast" was very much in
evidence in the county courthouse
this morning as a result of the
story that was published in yes
terday's Citizen about Maxine
Valdez having received his COM
mission as county commissioner
from the fourth district.
The expectancy is that the COM
mission will be formally organized
early next week, and, immediate
ly after it begins to function, ac-
ton will be taken to approve the
salaries due county employees for
the months of December and jan
uary. The commission also will or
der the payment of bills incurred
during those two months.
AS a result also of the story pub
lished yesterday, the opinion
now is that Mr.. Valdez, instead of
Carl Bervaldi, will be elected to
the craftsmanship. However, Mr..
Valdez refused to discuss that sub
ject, and added only, 1T will be
taken care of at the proper time. "
One official in the county still
holds to the belief that Mr.. Ber-
valdi will be reelected chairman.

when the inventory is completed

County Clerk Ross Sawyer to-
day enumerated the number OF
parcels of real estate in Key West
that are delinquent and also the
number elsewhere in the county.
In the city, there are 1875 par

exemptions, which will be sold
and have tax deeds issued against
them just the same as other delin-
quent property, in the event they
are not redeemed before July
Parcels in Monroe outside of Key
West number 1900.
Mr.. Sawyer explained that the
1941 certificates against the delin-
quent property represent 1910
taxes. After July they will be ad-
vertised in The Citizen and then
sold to the highest bidders at an
auction to be held in front of the
main entrance to the court house
This new tax law" Mr.. Sawyer
stated, has teeth in it. At the
coming sale, in the event there are
no bidders for some of the par
GELS, deeds to them will be issued
to the county, which, under the
law, will acquire good and suffi-
cient title to them"
Clerk Sawyer added that, among
the parcels in Key West offered
for sale, are some very valuable
ones, which, under a forced sale
would bring several thousand dol

Some Key Westers are under the
impression that the city does not
own the property, but that is not
the case. The city purchased the
land at the time it acquired all

tracts, for the municipal golf
course.
The site is in the midst of the
botanical gardens, composed of
