WORLD WAR VETERANS
COME

On the Sunday previous to the
Fourth of July in 1884, Gov Dave
SholtZ and Federal Relief Ad-
miniStrator Julius F. Stone, Jr.,
of Florida went to Key West to
confer with the officials of city
and county whose backs had been
figuratively thrust against the
wall of bankruptcy. Those leaders
came to the Island City because
the authorities there had asked
for a New Deal. The city and
county were turned over to the
Governor who asked to admins
ter for the situation as he saw
fit. Advising with Gov. SholtZ,
Administrator Stone determined
the Federal Government should
rehabilitate Key West. The OBJ
jective was a resort city second
to none in the country.
A thorough renovation was
planned and begun without de-
lay. Money poured in the relief
work which was aimed to make
the Island City more attractive
for tourists. And just about this
time another wrath arose and re-
ality-for the bridge proponents.
Veterans Besiege Capital
The National Capital had been
under the siege of hundreds of
World War veterans out of a job.
A short while before Fort JEFF
ferson on the Dry Tortugas, s.
miles west of Key West, had been
declared national monument. 1t

with rubbish and stepped in
gloom. The Veterans reached
