Propose Merchant Marine
Training School In City
New York Wants 1t; Sale
o. Ferries Planned By
County Awakes Discus
sion

Question of the establishment
of merchant marine training
school in the city was brought up
at the Stone Church Service Club
dinner last night and a committee
appointed to investigate the mat
ter, which is being handled by
the Chamber of Commerce.
Discussion followed a commune
cation from Howard Wilson
which stated that a bill will be in
troduced in Congress. 1t was Mr..
Wilson's opinion that there was a
move to establish the training
school in New York rather than
in Key West and requested that
counter-move be begun in this
city, with information on the
proposition to be forwarded sena-
tors and representatives. 1t was
brought out that establishment
of the base in Key West would
mean that 35 commissioned Off
GERS, families, and the large per-
sonnet in connection with such a
project would live here. Welcome
increase of payroll is clearly seen,
Mr.. Wilson wrote.
Question of the sale of Monroe
County ferries was brought be-
fore the club. discussion revealed
that there are many angles to the
question. On one side, there is
the advantage to having ferries
in the service of the county, which
can be used to transport cars
across any of the present wooden
bridges which may burn down.
The ferries could also be run on
excursion, fishing and dancing
trips. On the other side, it was
pointed out that most of the
bridges could be repaired in a
short time, and that the sale OF
the ferries would add to the coun-
tvs funds.
Election of officers was an
nounced for Tuesdays meeting.
Guest of the club was Jack
Hayes.

The Club House is located at
the entrance of Garrison blight,

A more ideal location could
hardly be found, and the club
wishes to acknowledge the indis-
pensable cooperation which has
been extended by Sam Anderson

making possible this very real
addition to the resources of Key

ample of fine citizenship.
As soon as the house is made
habitable it will be formally put
in commission and a steward will
be put in charge.
