PRAISES ALsrNG

Editor. The Citizen:
have waged a battle over the
plumbing situation since 1913
and in that time the skirmishes
have been many and at times the
battle has been bitter indeed. Il
have fought with several admin
istrations over this same situa-
ton and find we are still fighting
not to make money for the.
plumbers but for better and con-
scientious work and work which
will satisfy the public and pro
tect its public health.
We have as good a code as we
need here for this community
and if the public and the COM
plete authority was given our in
spector to enforce the law we
would have an improvement that
is greatly needed.
do not expect to agree with
our inspector at all times and /
have seen the time we actually
fought on opposite sides but l
will say this for Mr.. Alsing he is
fair and impartial and will read
lily give his time to the plumber
and the public to protect our
health.
Will our administration let
politics in to endanger our public
health? Did you know our in
spector serves for three dollars a
day? The rebuffs he gets would
discourage the average man but
| can say | will stand behind him
because he wants to help Key
West and the people in it.
If the State Board of Health
would really go to work and
clean up things as they should be
in all places under their jurisdic-
ton we would be making a head
start. The city can't carry the
burden alone and from some of
the things / have seen we could
start right now to give the pub
lie health one hundred percent
backing.
l am asking the public and city
administration to think wisely
before any effort is ever made to
remove Mr. Alsing because he is
the only hope we now have for
better sanitation and will the
State Board of Health appoint
someone who will cooperate with
the City Health to clean up
things. We don't sacrifice health
for dollars and cents or politics.
only wish that my former
rating on the State Civil Service
register for Sanitation Officer
would permit me to serve Mon
roe County not in a police capa-
city but in a capacity to work
with the people and help them
solve their problems.
Let's work for cleaner and
healthier city and leave out poll
tics and personalities.
Very truly yours.
A. G.. ROBERTS.

terview with Z. e. Leander, prin-
cipaI Of Central High school. who
said there were several such
societies on CentraPs campus.
The faculty has felt for a long
time" he said. that such organi-
cations were not to the best in
terest OF Central"
Over a period of years, he said,
such organizations have produced
cliques and divided groups within
the student boGy. In doing So"
he said. they were destroying
one of the main reasons for a
public school"
Mr.. Lenander expressed the
opinion that when this condition
exists. the school ceases to be
Democratic. These groups" he
said. have no place in a demo-
cratic society. much less a place
in democratic public schools"
