A PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR

Prospects for prosperous 1910 in
Key West appear brighter than the out
look. at the beginning of 1889.
Looking back over the last IL months
we find quite a list of developments that
has direct bearing on the future. These
may be listed as follows:
Reopening of Key West Naval
Station, with the employment of a SUBJ
stantial number of civilian workmen, the
assignment of fairly large detachments of
naval men and marines and the coming of
destroyers and seaplanes for neutrality
patrol in this area
Decision to establish ar auxiliary sea-
plane base on TrumbO Island, including
large hangar, barracks for officers and en-
listed men and other works.
Election of a new City Council, in
Guiding fair representation of the newer
residents of Key West who are becoming
a factor in the rehabilitation of Key
West
Approval by the U. S. Housing Au-
thority of plans and specifications for an
100000 low-rental housing project for
Key West.
Restoration of Rest and South Beaches
and the SWITCHBOARD courts at County
Courthouse for the use of tourists and
visitors
Proposal to forward a Rural Electrifi-
cation project along Florida Keys from
Key Largo to few miles above Key West.
Creation of Key West Zoning Board
which is putting the finishing touches on
proposed zoning ordinance to regulate
types of buildings in the city.
And finally, the advancement of the
application for federal funds for construc-
ton of fresh water supply system from
the mainland.
Every one of these developments is
highly Important in the Key West struggle
back toward prosperity. Consummation
of the water project will be the greatest
single step that can be taken this year. The
tourist industry right now seems to be the
only industry in which Key West can seek
her future. Water is needed before there
can be any large scale hotel apartment
and winter home development here. Also
important to Key West is the proposed
early extension of Overseas Highway over
the old railroad bed and viaducts. Extend
the highway program, electrify the keys
and pipe in fresh water and you have the
markings of real prosperity throughout
Monroe county.
The Citizen not only wishes every one
of it's readers happy and prosperous New
Year, but ventures the opinion that it WILL
BE a much happier and much more pros
porous year than 1889.

A good proofreader is one who
catches all the errors, to be pithy and
definite, but Crapelet, a French printing
authority, says: Education, intelligence,
good memory, taste, patience, application,
love of the art, and especially the typo
graphic eye, constitute the minimum
qualifications required in the corrector to
whom should be entrusted proofreading. ;"
Although The Citizen is a small news

Warming for Bachelors:

Twenty-nine days hath February
in 1910, which gives the maidens
free rein to blurt out those marriage
proposals they've been saving since

Leap year is so-called because it

with an ordinary year. 1t so hap
