the fish which swallowed his

on the dock a pawn ticket was dis
covered inside. He was loan

persons chained to clouds in

to remember that when hanSi-

Excerpts from the letter, sign

OF the boatmen, follow:
AS you probably know The
charter boats in Kew West are
already operatine under many
handicaps which would seem i'm
possible to boatmen in other Flor
ida cities In towns from tba s;,a
of Miami 10 small nlacas i'd n

slips for their charter boats EACH

40 volt electricity . nhona con.
nection if desired ali NIGHT nolice
protection and snace at cain
berth for : large storage hoy The
advantages of such conveniences
are MANY, both for the tourists
and the boatmen.
We feel certain that tho elm.
ate and fishing are the most i'm
portant factors in holding tour
lists in this citv for anv length IF
time Almoet all of the cbarter
hoats in town berth in the inner
anchorage nm either eide of tha
foot of Grinnell. the majority be-
ing at the Gulf pier. Many visit
ing small craft also anchor or.
tie up in the immediate vicinity.
We boatmen are well aware of
the stencil encountered when.
steaming past the north end, of
the. navy yard mole where the
navy garbage barge is tied up.
A similar set-up a few hundred.
feet east southeast of the Gulf
pier would drive us out, the pre-
vailing winds being from the
direction they are, fast 4
The waterfront area from the
turtle crawls to Craig dock, is
much frequented by tourists and
stlrelyl they would not appreciate
having a busy seavenger activity
in the center of this area which
is very attractive now due to the
many dozens of small craft an
chored and berthed here.
The scavenger trucks them
selves do not smell too good and
a swarm of flies frequently buzz
along with them. Even II the
tourists could neither smell nor
hear, their reactlon 10 seeing the.
