Virginia's experiment with salt roads
has been very successful except for the
sheep. A flock found section Of road on
which salt was being tried as binder and
licked big holes in the surface until they
could be driven away. Salt roads wouldn't
do in Florida, either, because the cows
which are allowed to roam unhindered
over the highways also are partial to salt
and would lock them full of ruts.

KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY
Happenings Here Just Ten Years Ago Today As Taken
From The Files OF The Citizen

The Chamber of Commerce to-
day voted overwhelmingly in
favor of extending the boulevard
to White street. Called upon yes
terday by the directors of the
body to express an opinion in the
matter for the guidance of city
council and the county commits
sioners the chamber voted today
approximately 10 to l for the ex-
tension. There were less than a
half dozen votes against the inn
provement. It is pointed out that
if the lengthening of the boule-
ward was made it would be one of
the best advertisements for the
city which could be given to the
city. If left as it is, on the other
hand, it would do the city no
good in the eyes of the thousands
who are coming here.

a settlement under which Bill and
Holt would deed 10 feet to the
property owners and 10 feet to the

six on the south 10 feet are to be
used for road purposes, with four
