cit is time for the citizens of
Key West to realize that the Over.
seas Highway is nearly an accom-
plished fact. In very few
months people throughout the
United States will have the priv
ilege of driving over a sea level
highway which has no equal.
"Since my arrival in this city
some four months ago have
heard many contradictory reports
concerning progress being made
on the bridges Some of these
reports were to the effect that
the highway would never be com
pletad; others stated that the con-
tractors were dilatory and were
not attempting to complete the
work; some were to the effect
that the past and present Bridge

sioners' engineers were incompet.

entire project during the past

quirements. and conversations
with many of the parties involved
have convinced me that all of the
above rumors are false.
"The contractors are compel.
ent. They have had trying cir.
eumstances to deal with and have
had trouble getting organized and
equipment to the site of the work.
There is also the possibility that
the time allotted for the vast
amount of work each has to ac-
complish is not sufficient. The
first commission whose term of
office has recently expired spent
most of its time getting admins
tration details settled and much
credit is due for their fine work.
The present commission is engag.
ed in pushing the work to com
pletion in order that the public
at large may benefit from the
highway as soon as possible. They
are making much progress. The
project engineers deserve much
credit. Their task has been .
hard one but they have met
every issue and their planning
and cooperation with the con.
tractors is bearing fruit.
