Rivers And Harbors Board
To Take Up ilntracoastal
Waterway Matter March 9
Further Data Forwarded
For Review OF Practic-
ability Of Proposed
Project

by Washington Correspondent of
The Key West citizenl
WASHINGTON. D. c.. Feb. 81.
The War Department field en-
eineers' report on the proposed
improvement of the intracoasfal
waterway from Miami to Key
West is due at the chief of en-
eineers office of the rivers and
harbors board on March 8. if was
learned here today.
The report has been returned
to the district engineer at Jack
Sonville for further information.
1t was not revealed what further
data was needed in order that the
rivers and harbors board could
adequately review the practic-
ability of the project.
Officials here would not make
any statement as to the recon-
mendations in the report, nor
would they hazard any prediction
as to what, the ultimate recon-
mendations of the field engineers
will be in light of the additional
information requested by the
chief of engineers office here.
However, should the report
recommend against further work,
local interests will have an OPP
portunity to present arguments
in open hearing before the rivers
and harbors board gives its deci-
sion.
Should the recommendation
of the field engineers reverse
those of a previous report, APP
proval of both the rivers and har-
bors board and the congressional
rivers and harbors committee
will still be necessary before a
cost survey, the next step in pro-
ceedure, could be undertaken.
When the latter survey is COM
pleted and funds appropriated for
the work by congress, only then
can forging of this link in the At
lantic Coast intracoastal water
way actually begin.

Major activity was noticeable
al the Chamber of Commerce
this morning when The Citizen
called on Secretary Singleton. to
find all hands preparing the nom-

ing. This will be about the last
chance for delinquent. as well as
prospective. members to get their
names on the ballot. the secre-
tarY said.
Colonel Jack DeLysle has sent
an indignant letter to the cham
Der, occasioned by long article
in the Oklahoma City Daily, in
which Key West gets the worst
of it in story signed by Ernie
Pyle and dated Key West. The
secretary said ''the writer" found
several bars, open gambling, two
carnivals and a golf links, and
that was all for the tourist to see.
"All of which,, said the secre-
tary, indicates that he found the
bars first and did not get around
TO seeing the snakes at the rep
tile exhibit. If he had spent
enough money at the bars he
might have gotten that far. The
only thing he liked was the
heat. He will probably find it
hotter the next time he comes.
Thanks to the generosity of
Chairman Carl Bervaldi of the
County Commissioners, the cham
Der has been supplied with a
large table which is to be kept
supplied with the interesting cur
rent magazines and papers com
ing into the office, and for which
visitors are showing apprecia-
ton.
Several callers at the chambers
office this morning declared they
had come for a brief visit, but
have fallen in love with the
city,, have gotten comfortably To-
Gated and will stay longer.
