Renedo, who was in Havana for.
the past 20 days comforting with
officials, returned to Key West
yesterday. In an interview to-
day the doctor told The Citizen.
he was glad to be authorized to
announce that work will start at
once and, it is hoped, carried to
a finish without any unnecessary
delays.
Work Of thoroughly cleaning
the shore front at the foot of
Front street was finished yester-
day afternoon. Much qualification.
was expressed by residents over
its accomplishment. Not only
were all the crates and barrels
cleared but the workmen also re-
moved all Of the sea vegetation
which was matted over the grounds
to the depth Of one foot. The
place is clean, and city authorities
are determined to keep it so.

of doors in Key West when the

jOyable experience.
