There has never been enough
water in Key West except when
ii rains" he said stating that
while the city has IS million gal

need for so million gallons.
During the question period which
followed, E. A. Strunk, Jr. asked
when the proposed water bonds
would be paid.

saying that it was hoped no pay
mentS would have to be made over
the first five years, until the pipe
line began paying for itself.
The Hon. c. B. Harvey. Mayor
of Key West, asked f the pump
recently put into operation by the
u. S. Navy. which will increase
the city's water supply by one mil
lion gallons a day, does not bring
the supply all the water needed.
Ramsey answered 1--WE have
never been assured Of an ade.

Wy. We only get what 10 left
ever. We need 10 build our own
line. and quiz paying another out.
ut Tor our water. We can con-
tribute that money to the con-
sfrvetion Of our own pipeline.
Harvey then asked why the plan
for building the pipeline in "easy
stages" step by step down the
Keys with each section paying for
itself before undertaking a new
one, was not adopted by the Aque.
duct Commission.
Ramsey pointed out that such a
method would be contrary to eff.
cheney and economy.
The controversial ad valorem
property tax issue arose when the
Aqueduct Commission found it i'm.
possible to borrow from Federal
funds and turned to private sour
ces for the financing of the pro-
posed pipeline. Private hackers
have turned a deaf ear unless the
investment can be underwritten by
