OF
TRAVELS
BIG INCREASE
FIGURES OBTAINED FROM
DIFFERENT MODES OF
TRANSPORTATION LEADING
INTO KEY WEST

Records of travel to Key West
by p. and O. vessels, ferries of
the Monroe County Ferry System
and by planes of the Mlami-Key
Vest Always, show decided in
crease during the season of
1886 81 over that Of l935'36.
The following figures secured
from the records OF The differ
emf modes Of travel are not guar
anteed to be exactly correct but
are a very close approximate of
the actua. number of passengers
arriving, the greater number of
whom stayed for a period.
Not taken into consideration in
this record are those who arrived
By private conveyance ovsr the
highway, and who were not tabu-
lated except as the conclusions
were arrived at on percentage
basis.
During the month of November
there arrived on the Steamship
Cuba from Tampa. 127; December
the vessel brought 16S; in January
295 and in February 257. Prac-
tically rs percent Of these remain
ed as visitors, either in apartment
houses or hotels. The total is
S47. This count is exclusive of
large number of arrivals with
second cabin accommodations.
During the season 1935'36
planes of the Miami-Key West
Always operated daily except
Fridays. This season they oper-
ated Sundays, Tuesdays and Thurs
days, or 100 percent fewer trips.
Yet during the present season thl
number of passengers carried was
but 60 less than last season.
In other words during tho sea-
son of 1885, passengers num-
bered 1886, and during the pres
emit season, 1913.
Franklin E. Albert, manager of
the ferry system, stated today
that vessels of the system carried
approximately rs percent more
passengers and cars this season
than last. Hotels report increas-
es over last season, ranging from
Is percent to go percent, and the
housing department reports an
actual increase over last season of
