SEWER, WATER AND HOUSING

The Key West Citizen has sparkled
with good news the last few days. High
lighting the events chronicled in this pub
LEGATION are:
First, announcement that the Presi-
dent is about to approve of loan by the
U. S. Housing Authority to the Key West
Housing Authority for construction of 220
dwelling units for white and colored
families. 81
Second that the Reconstruction FL
nance Corporation is about to make final
approval of a $1,OOO,0OO loan to Florida
Keys Aque1uct Commission for a fresh
water supply system for Key West and
Florida keys.
Third that the sewer connection
project would be started next Monday
under sponsorship of the Board of Public
Works through the WPA.
That is quite a collection of improve
ments-water, sewers and homes. The
homes are for families in the low-income
brackets, so they will not directly benefit
the man who can afford to rent a home
and cannot find home to his liking in
Key West.
But the water system and or the
sewage disposal system will benefit all of
the people Of Key West and Monroe Coun-
ty. Water will give life to rich key soil;
will bring in new residents who like their
water fresh and plentiful; will develop a
building program in Key West and provide
water for homes and business establish
of lore oTO Uh
for more than drinking and cooking
waters.
A year ago only the most optimistic
would have sworn that within II months
those three projects would be in sight or
in process of cOnsummation. Yet here
they are-right on our doorstep. Sewage
disposal water supply and better housing
"a great combination for town that
sorely needs all three.
Now it is up to the people of this COM
munity to determine what they are going
to do with these new facilities. Are we
going to neglect them and ignore them on
the theory that we don't need them? Is
the city going to see that every property
owner connects with the sewage disposal
system? Are our property owners and
commercial interests going to use the
water when it arrives?
The Citizen believes we should all use
every facility offered to the fullest extent
of our ability, so that Key West may be-
come better place in which to live and
raise family, and a more prosperous
place for our self-supporting citizens.

OUR FIRST SPEAKER

An article in the National Republic
gives some interesting information con-
corning the first speaker of the national
House Of Representatives, an able man
whose name few of this generation ever
heard.
He was Frederick Augustus Conrad
Muhlenberg, born in Pennsylvania in 1850,
the son of a pioneer Lutheran preacher.
The son followed in his fathers footsteps
and also became a Lutheran preacher at
the early age of 20, six years before the
Declaration of independence.
Young Muhlenberg was a staunch
supporter of the Revolution and because
of his patriotic expressions was chased
from place to place by the British. Moth
ing daunted, he continued to preach lib
erty IS we'll as the gospel, and was elected
to the Continental Congress.
After liberty had been won and the
new constitution had been adopted
Muhlenberg was sent to the First Con-
gress and was elected its first speaker, and
was subsequently speaker of the Third
Congress. Before going to the national
Congress he had served two terms as
speaker CT the Pennsylvania legislature.
His brilliant career as preacher and
legislator came to an untimely end in 1901,
when he died at the age of 81.

A MOVE AGAINST RUSSIA?

The news from Russia that a defen-
sive pact between Finland, Norway and
Sweden would be considered a move
against the Soviet is significant
Defeated in war the Firms hope to
save their independence by a mutual as
sistGnce pact with the other Scandinavian
powers. If Soviet Russia had no new de-
signs against Finland, there would be lit
lie reason TO object to such a treaty.
The only way the mutual assistance
set could be construed to be aimed at
,ussia is by admitting that Russia has fur
her plans for conquest. Apparently this
is what the Reds have in mind.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1940-03-28

Stain, like Fyrrhus, king of Epirus,
who, at great cost, defeated the Romans
at Ascuum, now gloatS over his defeat of
the Firms. But the Russian dictator does
not consider it a Phyrric victory because
he does not value the loss of human lives
A few more victories like the one just won
over Finland and Stain, like the king re-
ferred to, could exclaim with him:
Another victory over the Romans like
that of Asculum and we are lost

Business. it is believed, may
soon develop an upturn, follow
ing the three months decline,
without the aid of a new gov
eminent pump-priming program.
This is encouraging, even though
it is based. in measure, upon
war orders from abroad. OF
course, the ''boom" that was pre-
maturely started last September
in anticipation of vast war or
ders for supplies has been wiped
out and there is general realiza-
ton that the present slow-motion
warfare will not require the vast
requirements of the former
struggle.
