Navy And Commercial Planes
Nav Use Boca Chica Airport

Report that had been current
in Key West that the Navy had
intended to condemn the 1000
acres on Boca Chica, owned by
the county and used by the Navy
as an airport, is untrue, accord
ing to a letter received today by
Chairman w. A. Parrish of the
Monroe county commission from
Charles B. Donaldson, assistant
administrator on airports, with
offices in Washington.
Instead of condemning the air
port and thus acquiring it, the
Navy, according to Mr.. Donald
son, is ready to agree with the
commission on a proposal to use
the airfield both by naval and
commercial planes.
Mr.. Donaldson'S letter reads:
reference is made to your let
ter of July 3, 1916, advising us
that, allegedly, the Navy contem-
plates the condemnation of the
Boca Chica Airport, and request
ing the assistance of this office
in preventing such action.
please be advised that we
have taken this matter up with
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1946-07-19

the appropriate Naval officials
here in Washington, who inform
us. that the Navy has no such in
tention and will be very glad to
cooperate 'yith you in any way
possible in an effort to reach a
mutual agreement for the con-
tinued use of your airport. We
have taken the liberty to suggest
TO the Navy that as soon as pos
sible, at which time it is our be-
lief that an agreement can be
reached for the airport to serve
both the Nays needs and civil
aviation. Meanwhile, you may be
assured that this administration
will continue to serve civil avia-
ton in your community to the
fullest extent possible.
at is expected that we will be
able to meet with you the latter
part of this month; however, we
will advise you as far in advance
as possible"

Commissioner Sweeting
Quits City Commission

In protest over the city COM
missions action yesterday in
adopting a report of the civil
service board overruling City
Manager Dave Kings dismissal
of four policemen following
which King rendered his regisna-
ton, Commissioners Clarence
(Sugar) Sweeting today resigned
as city commissioner.
seThe reason | have rendered
my resignation is because / am
not convinced that the city man
ager lacks the power of dismis-
SAL" Sweeting declared. Il know
that my voice is a minority on
the issue, and I could not con-
tinue on in the best interest of
the city if my heart is not in my
work. / feel I would be detri-
mental to the city's program and
for that reason choose this way
out"
Expressing regret over the res
ignation of Sweeting, Mayor w.
w. Demeritt declared this morn
ing: "Sweeting's resignation is
especially unfortunate inasmuch
as it will necessitate the calling
of a special election involving
the expenditure of the taxpay-
ers' money to the extent of pos
sibly $4,000 which can i'll be af-
forded."
A special election to fill the
vacancy must be called forty five
days from the time of the APP
pointment by the city commits
sion of a new commissioner.
Mayor Demeritt' stated that the
selection of the new commission
cr is now in progress.
Deploring Kings loss TO the
city, Sweeting said in resigning:
Mr.. King-the city will have to
hunt far and wide to secure the
services of a man who has the
ability, experience and executive
traits he possesses. ! do not
want to be pessimistic. but pre-
dict the city's progress will be
hampered to the extent of one
year, at time when it is SO nee
cssary that we gain recognition
as a progressive city"
Repercussions Of yesterdays
meeting echoed loudly todav as
Mayor Demeritt instructed City
Clerk Roy Hamlin to place an adj
vertisement with the information
nj City Managers Association for
applicants to the vacancy. Kings
resignation becomes effective
Aug. 6.
In an interview today, King
declared that under no conditions
other than the dismissal of the
four reinstated patrolmen would
he reconsider his decision.

my resignation is final unless
on the night of Aug. 6, | learn
that those four policemen are no
longer on the payroll the city
manager stated.
Questioned regarding his future
plans, King jokingly declared: Il
intend to look at the world
through rose colored glasses, II
then becoming serious:
i don't intend to make any
connections of any kind. WhensI
came to Florida from Michigan
it was my intention to retire but
the chain of events was broken

commission of Key West and I
came down here as city manager.

the combined efforts of the peo-
pie and employees of Key West

tain good which resulted to the
benefit Of the people at large IN

Planning to retire TO his orange
grove west of Homestead, the
city manager Expressed himself
as glad to help whenever it is
possible to do so be .ause am
most interested in seeing the
plans that have been started un-
der way, and under way, brought
to a successful conclusion
Commenting on the city man
ayers decision to quit his post,
Mayor Demeritt declared: an
my opinion the whole situation
is comparable to a mountain be-
ing made out of a mole hill. My
belief, in which I am backed by
the city attorney, is that no one
has any authority to fire in ac-
cordance with our charter, even
the manager; that the suspension
must be made and the charges
preferred and forwarded to the
civil service who are charged
with investigation and making
their report with recommended
tons.
''The commissioners are re-
quired to be governed by the
recommendations made by the
civil service; then the commits
sioners are empowered to take
action as recommended by the
civil service and it is only then
that they have any authority to
dismiss. The method of procedure
is provided for in the charter and
has been carried out"

ity, the Mayor continued: 81

Tagging Crawfish
To Find Out How
Far They Migrate

How far do crawfish go from
their usual haunts in the waters
of the Florida Keys?
That is a question in which
Nelson Marshall, fisheries biol
ogist of the University of Miami,
is trying to find an answer.
Mr.. Marshall writes The. Citi-
zen:
During the closed season we
have tagged about 1000 Holsters
from Fl. Lauderdale to Spanish
Harbor, near Key West. I hope
to make it over 1000 before long.
''Tags returned to the marine
laboratory at the university, with
information as to when and
where the crawfish were caught,
will help us discover where and
TO what extent these animals mi
CRATE.
I'VE are very anxious to have
all returns reported, even if some
of the information has been lost
(for example, a tagged lobster
may first be noticed in fish
house mixed with catches from
many different localities). 1t
should be noted that tags may
be found on undersize crawfiSh
as well as the big ones because
we are working on all sizes. If
we get full cooperation we can
use our returns to evaluate fish
ing.
For this tagging program to
be a success we need the CO.
operation of everyone who might
encounter a tagged lobster. Sew
eral of us have been actively
putting up posters in fish houses
and talking to commercial fish
ermen. Right now what we need
more than anything else is a plug
in the newspapers and ! hope
that, in the interest of conserva-
ton, you will help out in this
RESPECT. Need / add that an &C
count of tagging and following
the; wanderings of creatures In
the sea is subject of consider
able natural interest,"

In closing, this board finds

this board feels that ii has melted
out justice to all parties con-
cerned."
The civil service board called
attention of the city commls-
sioners to the fact that some 0f
the policemen were found guilty
of entering liquor and gambling
establishments in areas under
patrol and were suspended be-
cause this was in violation OF the
Chiefs orders.
However, the report asked:
How can these policemen per-
form their duties in a meritorious
and faithful manner, such as
they have sworn to do when they
accepted this public office. II re-
strictions are placed on them 90
such an extent that they are
prevented from discovering any
attractions of the law?"
Testimony was also given 20
the effect that the Police Chief
had given orders that the small
establishments were to bear IA.
vestigations but the large ones
were not" Sierra continued.
''The Chief of Police, on his own
testimony, stated that he had told
the policemen that they were
not to raid the establishments
that operated on a permanent
basis, that is from day TO day.
I'VE ask How are the police
men going to know which ones
operate from day to day IL they
are not permitted TO 60 IN and
investigate when they think it
warranted?' Another question I'M
terposed is Why aren't these day
to- day operating businesses
raided before they bec0ane so
permanent" IN
Sierra also pointed out THAT
the Chief of Police himself tes-
titled that the charge of "ieav-
ing ones post to go two hundred
feet" in itself was not sufficient
to warrant discharge. This ref
erred to the visit by Patroiman
Hernandez to a soft drink estab-
lishment approximately 200 feet
from his post.

city commission at a special
meeting yesterday of a report of
the civil service board overrul-
ing City Manager Dave Kings
dismissal of four policemen, the
city manager submitted his resig-
nation, effective at midnight
Aug. 6. Action on his resignation
was deferred until the next meet
ing of the commission.
Chairman Ralph Sierra read
the lengthy report of the civil
service board ordering reinstate-
ment of the four police officers
discharged by King. The officers
were not freed of guilt on all
charges, however, and were or
dered suspended without pay for
periods ranging from five to ten
days. Eugene Hernandez, John
w. Nelson and George Gutierrez
were suspended for ten days
each, and Carl Ingraham for five
days. All but Gutierrez were
!; placed on six months probation.
Sierra charged in the report
that King did not follow proper
procedure" in discharging the
officers because he called them
into his office without notice and
summarily discharged til m
without giving them chance to
offer a defense.
The board declared that most
of the charges preferred against
the four officers by the city man
ager and chief of police were
''stale and apparently forgiven
at the time committed, but
brought again to the surface for
a purpose
Berating Police Chief Louis
Eisner for mot delegating au-
thority properly to his subordi-
mates to act in his absence" the
report continued: 1T was brought
out in the case that one of the
patrolman tried to reach the Po-
lice Chief for three hours to re-
port open gambling in a certain
establishment
This patrolman contacted Po-
lice Lieutenant AtWell. who al
legedly stated that he could not
accompany the officer on the
raid he wanted to make until he
talked with Chief of Police Els
ner. Lieutenant Atwell did not
go with the patrolman as Chief
Eisner could not be reached. The
raid was not made even though
it was brought out that the chief
personally visited said establish
ment some time later and found
no evidence of gambling, giving
the impression that said eStaD-
lishment had been tipped off in
the interim of an impending
raid"
Terming some of the violations
''timeworn" since they occurred
as far back as April S, 1916, and
the charges were not preferred
until June q, 1916, the report
went on:
"Chief Eisner stated and re-
iterated several times that be did
! not reprimand his policemen as
they committed violations, but
merely kept record of such vio-
| lationS
"This is considered bad policy
for the reason that if the police
men are not reprimanded or pen
allied at the time they commit
violations, they will not develop
into good policemen due to lack
| of proper guidance and correc-
! tive measures.
