The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1940-03-18

Ordinarily the subject of sewage dis
torial rhapsody There are other and
more pleasant subjects usually open for
discussion in Key West but now sewage
collection and disposal are attracting some
favorable comment from our city and civic
leaders.
This has been caused by the an
nouncernent by the Board of Public Works
that it is laying plans to begin operation
of one of the city's two sewage disposal
plants within the next few weeks and to
start work on a sewer connection project.
Those announcements are good news
to our entire community. While in general
the disposal of sewage has been satisfac-
tory, there have been a number of excep-
tions. These have caused some of us not
a little annoyance and inconvenience. In
some sections the sanitary conditions have
been such as to arouse serious complaints
and firm demands for some official action.
Now that the disposal system is to
be put in operation, there will be no fur
ther cause for complaint. Under the
health and sanitary laws of the city and
state every property owner can be COM,
PEELED to connect with the system. Cess
pools and outdoor privies should become
a thing of the past in Key West.
Property owners should take notice of
this latest development in the effort to
make Key West better city. They should
not wait until they are forced by law to
connect with the sewers. They should go
ahead with connections and installation of
sanitary facilities on the safe assumption
that the disposal plants will be in opera
ton by the time they finish the building
connections.
Completion of the sewer lines and
connections and operation of the disposal
plants is an important step in Key Vests
rehabilitation. There are some misguided
individuals who may resent the coming of
modern conveniences, on the theory that
what was good for the pioneers is good
enough for the present generation, but no
city can progress and attract people, trade
and favorable comment, unless it has a
sewage disposal system.
The Citizen is glad that the sewage
system, long one of the projects it has adj
vocated and so indicated year afteryear on
its masthead, is about to become reality.
One by one the improvements advocated
by The Citizen are being added to the
-citys facilities.
Now bring on the water project!
Then watch this old rock grow!

1000, 900 COLORs AND SHADES?

There are many organizations in the
United States, devoted to many and varied
activities. Every day we learn of new
groups devoted to the revelation of some
thing or other.
Our newest discovery is that the
human eye can distinguish 100000
colors and shades. We might be tempted
to name them but dictionaries list only
3,4OO words for the 7,O00-odd shades so
far tabulated.
The above news is relayed to the
world by NJ. Rea Paul, color expert, after
a joint meeting of the mter3Society Color
Council, the American Physical Society
and the Optical Society of America.
Whatever doubts the reader may
have about the number of colors and
shades must be dissolved in favor of the
facts as reported by the groups named
above.

SAYS u. S. GETS BENEFITS

Most of the citizens of the United
States, who have read about the good
neighbor policy, and its results in restoring
friendly feelings between the United States
and the other nations of this hemisphere,
are under the impression that the United
States is extending economic help to Latin
America in return for "illusory or prob
lematic compensations.
The quotation is taken from a pre-
pared address by Carlos Daxila, former
Chilean Ambassador to the United States,
who says that nothing could be farther
from the truth" He insists that the bene-
fits from the good neighbor policy are re-
ciprocal and that if they are analysed in
detail, we would find that 'the most IA
vored party is really the United States"
We do not know whether the Chilean
diplomat is correct or not, but we call at
tention to his remarks which present a
view which is totally different from the
conception of the average American voter.
Can it be possible that the Chilean is right
and that the United States will receive as
much from Latin America as it gives?
