Key West has had second chance" not
available to most cities, and is apparently going
to take advantage of it, The city council has pass
ed coming ordinance and after the rough spots
have been smoothed out, far-seeing citizens are
hopeful that the Legislature will pass the routine
law making it iron-clad
When Key West was growing cigar manu-
featuring and port city its public officials didn't
get around to passing coming laws and besides,
when city is growing rapidly nobody wants to
be told where they can put up a business or a
home They simply want to put them up-and
who wants to hecxle them?
Then after Key West had dwindled to a small,
virtually helpless community under the buffetngs
of hurricane and fate, there need for any
law saying where business could or could not be
built But now that the new overseas highway is
about to be opened Key West seems to be pres
pairing to make the most of expected new growth.
Now is the time for the island community to
establish coming plan, if it is ever to have one

A NEW WATERWAY SURVEY!

Completion of the Intracoastal Water

tthat1the Waterway from Jacksonville to

Bank, near Bahia Honda, the present
project is rs feet wide and feet deep.
The Key West request for an eight foot
depth was too big to start things off, Mr.
Hodges says.
local committee from the Rotary
Club, headed by William Demeritt, Super
intendent of Lighthouses, Seventh District,
and a committee from the Yacht Club,
headed by Major James McMullen, is con-
sidering making a request to the Com
merce Committee of the Senate that anoth-
er War Department survey be made here,
requesting five foot depth or such depth
as the Department sees fit. -
Later, when commerce on the water
way increases, then a request for another
survey may be made.
At low tide the depth through the
stretch in question is but two to two and
ard half feet. At high tide, however,
boats drawing five feet often make the
trip
At all events, the next request will
be much more sensible, and should be
productive of results, which is what is
desired.

Middle of the present 4O-mile

agreed 2to pay the Florida East

was reached yesterday afternoon.
Execution of a contract awarded
the company on March IL has
been held up since that date
while differences between the
county and the F. E. c. were be-

held that the county should pay
for the amount of fill saved by
putting the roadway alongside
the railroad. 1t would require con-
siderably less material and work
if the highway fill was built

railroad engineers. County engi-
neers admitted there would be a
saving but the county commits

the amount asked.

"SIGNS" AND A BIG WAR"

prophesy.
Our efforts are seldom restricted by
the signs that mean something Recently,
an Associated Press dispatch from Roches-
ter, Indiana, advised that war cannot be
far away" The conclusion was based on
bumper lamb yields which "oldtimers" as
serted had been followed in the past by
long and costly and destructive wars. Those
who believe in this sign say that Providence
is providing the extra meat for the battling
armies. This year the lamb yield is "believ-
ed to be the largest in the country's his
tory"
Apparently, big war is just around
the corner.

SUGGESTIONS FOR
CELEBRATION

Editor, The Citizen:
Through your hospitable col
unns should like to offer a few
suggestions regarding the project
ed dedication of the Overseas
Highway. Noting that July 4 has
been set tentatively as the date of
the celebration, / hope / offend
no one in pointing out that thou
sands of upstate and northern
residents will take advantage of
the holiday weekend to come to
Key West. In other words, the
crowds will come here anyway
during the holiday, so why bill a
celebration for the same date?
For that reason, it might be
better for the business interests
of the city to observe the dedica-
ton the weekend of June IL, IL
and IS, or the weekend of June
| Is, 10 and 20. Such an arrange
ment would give the city another
peak load of business two or
three weeks before the July 4th
holiday. l do not believe it would
be feasible to celebrate the dedi-
cation late in the year. BY that
time the. Overseas project will
have become commonplace in the
public mind and few newspapers
or other publications would ex-
tend themselves publicizing the
event
Without the expenditure OF a
great deal of money the dedica-
ton can be made a dignified and
stirring event. Here are few
ideas that might be Incorporated
in the program:
First, invite the Navy depart
ment to send az fleet of airplanes
| to Key West on that occasion. 1t
is only a short air hop here from
Pensacola, navy aviation base.
| Second, request the State De-
partment at Washington to in
vite the cooperation of the
Cuban. government in the Key
West celebration. The Cuban
government might be willing to
send some gunboats and air.
planes and to land some of her
marines and sailors to join South
FlOrida's National Guard and
Naval Reserves in colorful pa
rade here. OF course, the War
Department would have to give
the Cubans permission to land
troops. There is a strong argu-
ment in favor of Cuban participa-
ton in our celebration. This is,
believe, the 40th anniversary Of
Cuban independence. The move
ment for Cuban independence
was organized and principally es-
pouSed in Key West. 1t is fitting
that Key West, which aided Cuba
on the road to political independ-
ence, should now be setting out
to attainacomplete economic in
dependence as result of the COM
pletion of the Overseas Highway.
Third, invite the various Cuban
societies and Pan-American good
will groups of Key West, Miami
and other Florida cities to parti-
cipate in the Key West parade
( and fiesta.
Fourth, request the Monroe
I county commission to put the old
/ ferries in operation during the
period of the celebration to pro-
vide free trips for those of our
/ visitors wishing to tour the wa
/ terfront and harbor
Fifth, arrange for boats to pro-
vide as many as possible Of our
visitors with free fishing trips.
s Sixth, send invitations TO Presi-
dent Roosevelt, Secretary Ickes.

and his staff and other state and
federal officials to participate in
/ the dedication ceremonies Is
