created cannot be questioned
later"
After RFC approves the loan,
Stone said it would then be
necessary to make a new request
to the WPA regarding a labor
project of approximately $500,
GOO on the water system. He ins
Dictated that WPA approval Of
the project would be a simple
procedure once RFC has decided
to, loan the money for the water
system.
All the engineering phases of
the project have been approved,
Stone said. In this connection
he believes it possible the fed
eral engineers may recommend
an even greater expenditure than
the minimum figure submitted
by the aqueduct commission.
Because of his close contacts
with various federal officials and
agencies, Doughty said the wa
ter commission had authorized
Stone to appear as a Representa-
tive of the commission in GER
tain matters.
Il don't want to take any
credit for anything in this con-
nection", Stone said. II believe
water is essential to the keys and
l am interested in seeing this
beautiful community getting
something vital like water. The
visit of Governor Fred Cone and
U. Ex-senator Claude Pepper to
the White House in the interest
of the keys water project added
weight to the backing the project
is receiving in MANY Ways."s
