WASHINGTON. D. C.. April 2.
The outlook for establishment
of regular tourist traffic between
Key West and Fort Jefferson Ma.
tional Monument took an en-
ccuraging turn today when it was
learned that the Coast Guard has
given the National Park Service
permission TO use buildings on
Loggerhead Key for accommoda.
fion of visitors.
Granting of the permission was
a reversal of previous Coast
Guard action, which had turned
down such a proposal from the
Park Service on the grounds that
the presence of large numbers of
visitors on the Key would inter-
fere with Coast Guard activities.
The buildings in question are
several large frame structures on
Loggerhead Key which were con-
structed a few years ago to house
units of the Carnegie Institution
engaged there in research work,
now completed.
Park Service plans are that the
buildings should be rehabilitated
and developed into restaurant
and overnight accommodations
for visitors to the historic nation
al monument. Definite plans for
such work are now in process of
formulation.
Coast Guard reversal of its
previous unfavorable ruling APP
pears to brighten considerably
prospects of cstablishE ent of
regular tourist boat service from
Key West to Fort jefferson, Park
Service officials said.
A definite contract for the
operation of such a line appear
ed to be in the offing last Deem
Der, when New York boat op-
orator conferred with officials in
Washington and then made trip
to Key West and Fort jefferson
to look at local sites.
AT the psychological moment,
however, the Coast Guard an
nounced that it could not grant
permission for use of the build
ings on Loggerhead Key and the
prospective deal fell through.
