Shown That Practically
All Dealers Have Come
Forward And Paid In
Accordance With Law

Business places in Key West
have awakened to the fact that
beverage licenses. that is beer.
wine and liquor licenses. must be
secured by the first of October
and il appears from records in the
office of Tax Collector Frank Il.
Ladd. that to date all dealers have
obeyed the laws.
Issued during the past few
days were a total of ~ beverages
licenses and il is a safe assump-
ton that there is not one place
within the corporate limiss Of the
county which has not secured che
proper licenses or made provi.
.ions to secure them at an early
date.
oceupational licenses have not
moved 50 speedily. Only 81 havs
been issued to date. but il is rea-
sohabIe 70 believe that every
business man who knows the
necessity of securing his permit
to deal or do business Of any
kind must have his license on or
before January /, 1893.
Each month the tax collectors
office furnishes the comptroller
with a list Of names Of those who
have secured the license and also
the names of those who have not.
If at the end Of December there
is found any business man who
has failed to provide himself with
a license, that person il to be ar
rested.
The tax collector has been pro.
vided with a set Of forms which
are to be filled out by the col
lector and handed to the sheriff
for service on the delinquent and
in the event Of. nonpayment Of
the license to levy on his prop
erty, real or personal. FOR the
amount Of the license.

Flagler Romance Reborn In
Opening Of Overseas Highway

unbroken highway system reach
ing into northernmost Canada.
One High Link
In addition to providing a nov
ell approach, the road will offer
one minor thrill The mile-long
Bahia Honda bridge, unlike the
others, is built with truss spans
and rather than separate these
stea trusses to gain sufficient
width for a road bed, the engi-
neers have chosen to route the
highway over the trusses, 60 feet
above water level. Easy approach
es and good handrails viii soften
the effect. Sixty feet, of course
is no great height but it is
enough to overlook everything
there is in the keys.
Hurricanes via not be a haz-
ord, either to travellers or to the
investment. The tropical storms
known in these waters announce
themselves to weather bureaus
far in advance and during the
fall season, warnings viii be Civ
en- at each toll gate. The rail-
road bridges, compared when
they were buff to the Roman
aquaducts, have withstood every
storm since, and the new fills,
replacing those lost in 1885, are
lower and more steeply graded.
Key West recalls only one loss
of life directly attributable to
hurricanes. That was a drunk
who was drowned while trying to
tie up his boat.
City Does Comeback
So far as safety is concerned,
the city feels comfortable about
lives of 500 qaborers now at
work, of 1000 more for whom
camps are being built. and these
men are doing the most import
ant job in the world for her. The
road is expected to save her from
economic dependency, give her a
Place in the resort life of state
that once called her its richest
city.
Elimination OF the four-hour
ferry trip win not only mean
sDeedier crossing Of the keys, and
at the tourists convenience, but
lower costs as well. The tolls have
not yet been published but the
District promises a considerable
reduction from the present $3.50
for car and driver. passengers so
cents extra on the ferry. In 80
years, when the loan shall have
been liquidated, Key West viii be
free TO all.
Among the first to feel relief
at the ferry's passing will be the
pelicans at the Lower Mateeumbe
Handing. They have already tax
en- notion to the wooden piles
and resent having their sun baths
interrupted twice a day by the
arrival of a boat. Now they can
sit undisturbed, looking more
than ever like the top carving on
Ia totem pole.

Der 19)
Ninety miles south of Miami a
new, hard-surfaced highway puts
out to sea over the concrete rail
road bridge that is the only solid
link between the mainland and
Key West. southernmost city in
the United States.
Called "Flagler's FoIy" when
they were built in 1912, the spans
look more like sturdy rainbow
to the island city, awaiting re-
discovery after the disastrous hur-
ricane of 1885 swept away tracks
and fills, hating railroad service
forever. And Key West is not
ashamed to regard herself as the
pot of gold that viii reward the
host of visitors she expects when
the road is completed.
Accessibility is a large compon-
ent of resort appeal and by mod
ern standards of transportation,
Key West is isloated. 1t is pos
sible to reach her from Tampa, by
airplane from Miami. But the
majority of tourists travel on
wheels and while it is necessary
to get up at night in Miami to
catch a ferry from Lower Mate
cImbe at 8 a. M, with the know
ledge that reservation viii mean
little if others arrive first, trade
must lag.
Journalists Dream
An overseas highway of some
sort is an old dream in the keys,
so dear to the citizenry that a
journalist once wrote an imagin-
airy story of the opening of such
road. He visioned procession
of 1000 automobiles, decorated
with flowers and carrying Off
Gals and notbales, with band mu-
sic and speech making along the
way. Spectators, ironically, were
to keep abreast on special excur-
sion trains from Miami. For it
was not until 1886, when the
Overseas Road and Toll Bridge
District bought the bankrupt
railroads $3O,000,0OO right-of-
way for a mere 100000, that
the road-buFding project was
given real impetus.
There followed the PWA APP
prevail of $3,600,000 loan, con-
tracts were let in November and
again in February, and now the
new highway, 20 feet wide and
Of treated surface on a rock
base, is actually creeping south
and westward over existing
bridges and coral fills toward No
Name Key, from where pave
ment extends into Key West.
Two ferry gaps had to be
eliminated. The upper one, from
Matecumbe to Grassy Key, was
