HOUSE PASSES BILL
FOR AQUEDUCT UNIT

Continued from Page one)
for the authorization Of the Board
Of Commissioners OF Monroe
County to act as a Water Commits
sion.
a water supply win only be
furnished to the Florida Keys, ex-
tending to Key West, by one OF
the following three methods.
..1st: A public utility corpora
ton Tor profit
..2nd: A governmental agency
duly created under the State and
functionIng entirely as com
munity cooperative public serv-
ice.
@3rd: Utility service By public
ownership in tn echarge and con-
troll OF either County Commissions
ers, City Council or similar units.
s0ur discussion of the project
viii indicate the method and
means we think the most desir-
able.
The project of the water sup
ply for Key West must inevitably
involve the problem OF a fresh
water supply system for the en-
tire Archipelago known as the
Florida Keys; this involves a sub
stantial portion of Dade County
lying on the mainland of the
Florida Peninsula, south OF Flor
ida City, and the intermediate is
lands in Dade County lying be-
tween the mainland and the Mon
roe County line, and also, Of
course, embraces all the so-called
Flolida Keys from the Dade Coun-
ty line to and including Key West
and possibly reaching out to other
KEYS than those which lie in the
line o. the former right Of way Of
the Florida East Coast Railway
and the present projected highway
to be built upon this right OF way.
This entire district, with the
building of this motor highway,
viii experience an unprecedented
development and increase OF pop
ulation, which cannot be disre-
gardeA in any plan involving q!
water supply system: Adequate
and wholesome fresh water can
only be procured in and through
Dade County and must serve CON-
munities which are now establish
ed or which may reasonably in the
future spring up in that County
and along the various intermediate
islands of the Florida Keys chain.
while it is certain that the i'm
mediate paramount purpose OF a |
Water Commission at this time is
to supply the City of Key West
with an adequate, wholesome fresh
water supply, nevertheless it musti
be conceded that there are many
communities between the source
OF supply and the City of Key
West which must also be served
and protected in connection with
such a vital public utility.
"The designation of a Board of,
County Commissioners as the conf
trolling administrative body fori
such a public utility is not desir-I
able. Public utilities are not ad-.
vantageously operated by County
bodies. Municipal
units are far more preferable. The
City Of Key West viii have to fur
nish almost 9Oss of the patronage
OF this supply. 1t should not be /
made possible for the County Off
eialdom to Use the necessities of |
