Key West, if the navy will pardon the
smile, is in the position of the frogs who
asked the gods for heron to protect and
rule over them. The heron-remembert the
story ?-improved on the situation by eat
ing all the frogs.
Key West heartily damned for years
the short-sighted government which re-
duced the local navy. station TO the status OF
ghost town, Key West cheered loudly
when another government built the navy
station into booming business, spent mil-
lions here on navy improvements.
But now. the navy, splitting the seams
of its old grounds, is reaching out for new
lands and appears ready to include within
it's fences the four blocks in the neighbor-
hood Of the court house
Regardless of the pleas of Mayor Al
bury and the citizens Of the soon to be ac-
quired land, there apparently isn't much
the navy can do except go ahead and ex-
pand at the expense of the city.
The present grounds just aren't big
enough and the army apparently has plans
of its own which will make it impossible
for the navy to acquire the Fort Taylor area
the expansion site urged by Mayor Al
bury.
The ardent conviction Of Key Westers
that theirs is one of the most important out
posts Of defense has come home to roost.
For the navy apparently thinks 50, too, and
its facilities here are going to be steadily
increased.
For the property owners in the af-
fected area, it is tough break. They will
be paid for their land, but in these times
Of high prices it is going to be difficult for
them to get new land in as desirable a
location, or for them to find workmen to
build them new homes.
The city and county, too, stand to get
rap from the navy expansion, since that
property will be taken off the fax rolls
when it comes under the banner of the
navy.
In fairness, however, Key Westers
must admit that regardless of what the navy
takes, we are glad the sailors came back.
The government has done much for this is
land, and if it hurts occasionally, that is the
way of life.
