IMPROVEMENTS FOR KEY WEST ADVOCATED
BY THE CITIZEN
KEY VETS POLITICAL PULSE
BEGINNING TO BEAT FASTER


The Citizen feels its readers are aware, as it is aware
that Key political pulse has stepped-up its beating
winch will lead US, unless we are cautious into saying
things making charges that would not say or make
ordinarily The Citizen because it the public and
must every member of that public must be fan
more cautious than the man on the street.
