'Moider The Umpire!r'
Same Thing In City
Kill the umpire!
Trow dat bum out.
Gimme a pop bottle!

Trow dat bum out.
Gimme pop bottle!
In baseball the umpire is the
target of the bleachers, the whip
ping boy of the ball park, he is
the one who is shouted at by one
team if the decision goes against
them, by the other team If the
decision goes, aaginst them.
Last night up at city commits
sion it was the same story again.
This time city manager Dave
King umpire" of Key Vests
city hall who has bene calling
them as he sees them" is the
target of the pop bottles. Don't
/ get banged about" he told The
Citizen last night following the
meeting.
w. j. Schoneck and Di Clara
monte were talking about being
hauled before city court and made
to pay their scavenger bills. The
air was blue with talk and spec
tators moved intentionally.
Both Mr.. Schoneck and Mr.. Clar-
amonte threatened to sue the city.
Commissioner Harden asked
Mr. .Schoneck if he knew he owed
the bill. Mr.. Schoneck said he did
and also said that it was a few
months old. A final bill had also
been sent Mr.. Schoneck. City
Manager King said that if one
is not getting any service that
he should call UP and get the
matter Strengthened out not wait
until the bill becomes delinquent
and then claim no service. Also
there must be no disposing OF
trash by carrying away or burn
ing, Mr.. King said, City Clerk
Hamlin said this case was one OF
Is or IA in: which bonds were
required. Mr.. Schoneck said that
his property should have been
his bond. He also said that his
rights as citizen were invaded.
Mr.. Claramonte said that he was
fined for non payment of scaven-
ger bill on a place he did not
own. He also said that there was
no swearing in of witnesses in
city court in his case.
Some time ago there was a
question of an injunction by w.
r. Porter to stop the placing of
parking meters in front of his
home on Duval street. This in
junction was denied in Circuit
Court.
Then it was the question OF
dogs also last night. There was
much discussion back and forth
on whether an ordinance should
be passed muzzling dogs. Some
claimed it was inhuman, Others
said it was necessary. And Sc
they wrangled back and forth.
Moider the ump! Gimme POP
bottle!

Levin Is New
Appointee On
Housing Group

Kermit Levin was named to
succeed S. c. Singleton on the
Key West Housing Authority
Board by City Manager Dave
King, with confirmation by the
city commission, last night.
Mr.. King said today that he
will recommend that the card
board houses" of West Poinciana,
which, according to Housing reg
ulations, are to be torn down as
part of a defense program only,
be retained, at least for the pres
ent time with the housing short
age now in effect.
Mr.. King said that he believed
Mr. Levin had sound judgment
and would be a good commits
sioner.
There was considerable sur
mise in the city today as to a
possible stand Mr.. Levin will
take in regard to the housing di-
rector w. B. Kirke is the present
director. The housing director is
appointed by the Housing Board.
AT present a majority of the
board favor Mr. Kirke.
Shortly after the new city com
mission went into power at a
caucus infJmation leaked out
that new housing director might
eventually be appointed by the
housing board as new board mem-
! bcrs were appointed
Recent election of George
Smathers as representative from
the fourth district is said to have
a bearing on the matter also.

Chicken Farm
Question Will
Come Up Again
Up it came again.

Up it came again.
The question of operating a
chicken farm on Avenue d at
Poinciana by Paul Laid was re-
opened for a few moments at
city commission last night but
further confusion in the location
of the property brought more
delay and more investigation.
Mr.. Laid said that he wished
the coming change at lots II and
II instead of 13 and IA. This was
not as contained in the public
hearing and so the hearing was
further postponed until the
question was settled.
