GIVE US BACK THE GLORY OF THE
PORT OF KEY WEST

You know, Key Westers, things have been coming
our way since 194O and they still are coming our
way. The Citizens hope that Key West would regain
its lost glory port had just been expressed for the
hundredth time when the was made that
the p o. Steamship Company probably win resume the
operation Of the steamship Florida between Key West
and Havana.
The Citizen aware that resentment still shoulders
in the hearts of many Key Westers against the p o.
for the treated shortly after the 1885 hurricane
destroyed the railroad in the Matecumbes OF course due
to the abandonment of the railroad in the Florida Keys
the operation of the eghcarryng ferries had to be stop

to between here and Havana to keep up OUR
with the Cuban capital And then we shuddered re-
sentfuly when heard that the Florida would be taken
away from us.
But when the company makes amends, even at so
late date resentment should die out We shouldn't
anything that promotes the welfare Of Key West
when that thing had been the of resentment
We want to progress honestly and shouldn't be picky
about the way we progress honestly
SO The Citizen intellectually welcomes the coming
of the Florida and urges the City Commissioners to do
all in their power have the Florida running be-
tween here and Havana you have any resentment left
you should smile it away in knowing that up Miami way
there will be feeling akin to resentment the Flor
ida's coming back to u.s.
So let's give the Florida just as glad hand as we
give to the ferry it is proposed to between here and
Havana. At time had steamships coming to this
port from New York, Galveston New Orleans Tampa
Havana and, beginning in 1887 the City of Key West OPP
Grated between here and Miami which, city, only

from New Orleans
Give US back the glory Of our port The operation of
the ferry and the Florida may lead to reganing that
glory

I forecast that the proposed legis-

Bill will remain buried until after
the November elections. If it had
passed Congress as President Eisen-

your dollar worth more. If it had
passed amended as certain labor

your dollar worth less. As any ac-
tion has now been delayed, it's pres
ent effect on imitation will be nil.
Considering all other Congress
sional legislation to date, fore
cast the net result will be mildly

land values and all producers. The
