CAMBRIDGE, Mass, March
24.-Here is what John Nolen,
President of the National Con-
ference on City Planning, soon to
open in st. Petersburg, and one
of the most noted in his profes-
sion in America today, has TO say
TO the people of Key West through
The Citizen about the adoption
there of q comprehensive pro-
gram of coming progress.
Mr.. Nolen. in his nineteen years
of effort for better living. has
replanned AZ towns and cities,
and of new towns and suburbs
he has laid out forty-three. In
addition he has prepared extensive
regional plans for ten communities
of which four are in Florida.
He has degrees from five uni
versities, has travelled through
nearly every state in the Union.
and while his life work is mainly
town and city planning, he has
written many books.
When I approached Ar. Noleh
that I might get his direct views
as bearing ON Che situation In Key
West. he said: eWhat you have

perhaps the only service they
have been to the government was
when tower 2 was occupied by
uniformed men during the war
with Germany, and was probably
used for storing ammunition and
military supplies. Tower 1 was
so dilapidated as to be of little
use at that time.
Abraham Lincoln was president
of the United States and Jeffer-
son Davis was president of the
Confederate States of America
when Key Vests first railroad
was in operation and the work
of building the towers was in
progress.
Since Florida had seeded from
the Union, it would be natural to
suppose that the construction of
the towers was financed by the
Confederate government. But
not so. They were built by the
government of the United States.
Key West occupied a unique
position during the Civil war
period, and it is doubtful if a
similar case has existed since the
annals of time. Florida withdrew
from the Union, but Key West
never did. The Union flag float
ed over Key West all through the
time of the war between the
states. Only one time was the
Confederate flag ever hoisted in
Key West, Capt. Shaw says, and
it was then quickly hauled down
by soldiers of the Union army.
It was about the 1859 when
Capt. Shaw worked for about
three months on building the
towers. He was later engaged in
plotting ships in and out of the
harbors here. He says he brought
a lot of ice ships from the North
into the harbor, loaasd with lake
ice for Key West. The ice, he
says, was stored on the ships in
such a way that it simply froze
solid, but was easily broken up for
unloading. There were large ice
houses here for storing the cargoes
of frozen water. Ice was almost
rs plentiful then as now, Capt.
Shaw says, and was sold for about
Soc per hundred pounds.
Work was eompeaced on the
e5nstrnction Of 4ors saylof dur-
ing the year of 1910, or there
about, Capt. Shaw remembers, and
was nearing completion when
work started on the towers. Fort
Taylor was not manned until the
Civil war started, and it was oc-
cupied by Union troops through
out the sixties. The fort was in
command of Capt Brandon, while
Major French with flashing
cavalry troop was often to be seen
parading the streets of Key West.
|. The construction work on the
Fort Taylor and the towers was
at all times under the supervision
of Capt. McFarlane, of the Union
army. He had two nice large
brick buildings constructed to
house the men who were engaged
in the work.
The left wing of Fort Taylor
was built during the Spanish
American war, Capt. Shaw states.
The granite came from Pennsyl-
vania and the sand from Mobile.
He piloted the boats bearing the
material to port here and renem-
bers definitely where they came
from.
One or two small guns have
been mounted on the towers, and
Fort Taylor has been well equip
ped with modern and mammoth
cannon for many years, but so far
as is known, neither of the three
has ever been used in actual coast
defense at war time.

tons crooked "cowpath" streets are

Under the regime of the present
board Of street commissioners. the
city has seen one of the greatest
highway booms in history.
Millions OF dollars have already
been spent in street widenings and
extensions.
And in order to keep abreast Of
the general expansion wave, more
improvements are under advise
ment.
The city Is virtually taking on
a new least of life, in so far as
street Improvement is concerned.
Dock and Faneuil Hall Squares
have been transformed and the site
Of the Cradle Of Liberty" is no
longer hidden in q maze OF crooked
and narrow streets.
The squares have been merged
into one and the. historic shrine
now stands out in bold relief.
The cost &C this Improvement, In.

striction, was $2,500,000.
The widening of fremont Street,

From a varying width of 40 to

Aimed at laying the ground work

Before the 1928 budget is COM
pleted Hoover is expected to lay his
plans before President Coolidge. It
was understood that a 10-year pro-
gram OF water resources develop

templating an outlay Of probably
500, 900 900 annually.

Furthermore, the law Is TO be

William C. Deming, president Of

has received the following letter
from a Government clerk:
"Now that Christmas Is near at

DELAY LOOMS
ON SCHOOLS

Possibility that the Districts
five-year school building program
may be held up indefinitely was
seen today in the announcement by
Representative Ross A. Collins, Of
Mississippi, ranking minority mem
Der of the District subcommittee OF
the House Appropriation Commit
tee, that the committee viii stand
fast on its limitation on cost Of
school sites.
The provisions Of the current
appropriations bill prohibit the Dis.
trict Commissioners paying more
for school and playground sites than
20 per cent above the assessed
valuation.
AS a result OF the ruling the
Commissioners have been unable to-
purchase a single site with the
funds which have been made avail.
able.
!. Representative Collins declared
the District residents are not being
fairly treated in the purchase OF
sites. He said that either the prop
ertv Is being under-assessed or ex-
orbitant prices are being charged.
The Misslssippian, who has re-
turned to Washington to place his
two children in school here, de-
clared that IL the five-year pro-
gram were completed there would
be 10000 surplus desks.

Hoover is said to feel that the
United States has recovered from
the effects Of the war, that the
commercial and industrial situation
is satisfactory, and that with the
country prosperous 1t is now proper
to begin the great construction pro-
gram contemplated.

ppFopriation of $17l 900 for opera
tion and management Of the Center
Market in Washington, under the De
partment Of Agriculture, is recon-
mended in the bill for that depart
ment reported today to the House.
There is considerable local inter
est also in the recommendation of the
appropriations committee that the re-
strictive provision carried in the an
nual supply bill for the current year
related to expenditures for personal
services in the District of Columbia,
in accordance with the clarfication
act for 1928. be continued during the
fiscal wear, 1925. In addition to this
the committee recommends a limita-
ton upon the amount which may be
expended for personal services in the
District by each bureau of the De
partment of Agriculture.
In making his report to the House
Representative McGee OF New York
points out that in many instances the
salary appropriation covered personal
services in the District and in the
field and the general expense appro-
priations include personal services in
the field and in Washington. The re-
suit of this practice, he said, has been
that while the appropriation bill in

for specific projects or Investigations
