modations for tourists visiting in
Key West IS also accompanied by
a similar shortage of accommo-
dalton for trailer cars, Doctor
James B. Parramore. director, and
z. D. Harrison, sanitary officer of
the Monroe County Health De-
partment explained yesterday.
The trailer park industry has
been slow In preparing to meet
the demands for parking space for
trailers In Key West and the ad-
jaeent Keys It is a requirement
OF the State Board Of Health that
al trailer cars must stop in GER
titled parks where sanitary facili-
ties are available for use by
tourists. The promiscuous park
ing Of trailer cars along high
ways, is necessarily prohibited. as
this practice would result in a
sanitary nuisance endangering
the health of the public, say the
officers of the State Board of
Health This regulation is en-
forced throughout Florida.
Continuing DIR Parramore said,
that until there are a sufficient
number of trailer parks establish
ed IN Monroe county TO take care
Of the large number of people
who viii bring trailers to Key
West and the surrounding Keys,
the Monroe County Health De-
partment viii be as lenient as
possible. but it viii be necessary
to insist that the required pre-
cautions be taken to protect the
public.
Any person, said DR.. Parramore,
who is planning to open a trailer
park, is urged to call at the Mon
roe County Health Department
and secure q copy of the health
rules and regulations governing
tourist camps and trailer parks.

ns1ally come to Florida and es-,
fablish their trailer camp az

West and visited The Citizen, for
information relative TO the park
ing rules.
Mr.. Renouf said that he and
other members of the party had
been visited by representative,
whom he did not know, but who
afterward it was found out by
The Citizen, was Mr.. Harrison,
and informed that the law pro-
hibited parking trailers in camps
other than those which were es-
tablished according to law and
had all the necessary sanitary
requirements as required by reg
ulations.
The members of the party had
been advised that under the cir
clmstances the traiiers would
have to be removed to some reg
ulated camp which was estab-
lished in conformity with the
rules and regulations of the state
laws.
Immediately The Citizen got in
touch with Engineer Harrison and
was told by him that it would be
best to take up this matter with
DR.. Psrramore, as he was the per-
son who would be able TO clarity
the situation and explain the
rules and regulations of the state.
DR.. Parramore was seen yester-
day and made the statement rel
alive to the trailer and trailer
parks. which covers the situation
in connection with the Renouf
party. and any other groups Of
people who are contemplating a
stay On any Of the Keys. which
are not provided with the proper
sanitary equipment.
