ERNMENT'S STATUS
Washington correspondent
of The Key We II CitizenB

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 10.
Local governments, such as the
City of Key West and the County
of Monroe, and organizations
such as school districts may bor
row public works funds from
private sources cheaper than
they can from the Federal Gov
eminent, government officials re-
vealed today.
The Reconstruction Finance
Corporation is the only Federal
agency authorized to make such
loans. Last August RFC advised
local governments that it was
willing to make loans for state
and local public works. The only
catch is that the RFC, in addition
to demanding gilt-edge security,
wants 4 percent interest.
Local governments can obtain
money cheaper from private
sources, George H. Field, Chief
of the Bureau of Community
Facilities, Federal Works Agency.
told a House Appropriations
Committee.
THE people connected with
investment banks and other or
CARNATIONS which make loans
for sewer systems, water systems,
school buildings, etc, know that
many communities have plenty
of credit and authority for con-
structiOn of public works." he
said, in testimony revealed today,
MANY communities have already
voted bonds for public works and
can get their funds for construc-
ton at much less than 4 percent
interest. In fact, many school dis
tricts are now borrowing for
around IL percent"
Although the REC has had sew
eral hundred inquiries regarding
loans, as of December it had not
made any. according to hearings
on the FWA appropriations bill.

Valdez Wants Boca Cllica
Bridge Open To Fishernen
Wooden Bridge AT Perky.
Florida. On Lateral Mari
Road Will Be Replaced
fRv Fiji ReG 1G9a39e

County Commissioner Maxine
Valdez said today he is doing all
in his power to keep the Boca
Chica Bridge open for fishing
purposes.
Mr.. Valdez said that although
the old wooden bridges had been
turned over to the State Road
Department that ne would ask
that the Roca Chica Bridge be
kept intact for fishing parties.
1t is that this location where
much fine fishing has been done
by visitors here this year. Serv-
icemen too enjoy the fishing
there.
Last week Jacksonville visi-
tors hauled an eighty pound tar
pom caught along a flat out of
the channel waters there and
also lost a line to another big one.
Mr.. Valdez also pointed out
county commission intention to
fill in the wooden bridge at
Perky Florida on Highway One
which leads to a lateral road to
the old highway and saves going
UP to Pirates Cove to cut back
on the old highway which is
quite scenic.
| This bridge will be demolished
and the whole filled in. The mari
lateral road which leads off from
it will be cleared of underbrush
so that cars may pass each other
more safely.
Mr.. Valdez said he did not
know what would be done re-
garding the Tarpon Creek, Sug-
arloaf Greek, Geiger's Greek or
Sugarloaf Channel wood bridges.
