Senator Ward Arrives In Key
West; Making Inspection OF
Overseas Highway Conditions

Senator David Elmer Ward,
making an inspection trip to
check the condition of Overseas
Highway, arrived in Key West
this morning for a visit of three
days.
Harry H Hector, local repre-
sentative on the state road board.
is expected to join the senator
here today.
Senator Ward, who made a
slow trip along the keys, said the
road obviously is in a dangerous
condition. He predicted that
work will be undertaken by the
state within a short time.
The most recent delay in re-
placing spans on the Key West
end of the highway, he explain
ed, was caused by the fact that
bids for the work were far high
er than the money allotted for the
construction.
More recently, j. H. Bowling,
chief engineer of the road de-
partment, has been seriously i'll,
and it has been impossible to get
any information about the status
of the construction project
Senator Ward, who came here
with Capt. Bob Combs and Capt
c. A. Spencer, said he is con-
WINGED the state will realize the
necessity of putting the road in
shape.
