HOW CAN YOU REPAIR CITY STREETS
WITHOUT EQUIPMENT?

Cluzen correspondent, who signs his or her
Visitor, complains about street-payng equipment
and what is called "horse drawn buggies"
AS to the equipment, only conclusion can be
drawn from the complaint: the visitor prefers for our
streets to remain in their deplorabe condition he does
NOT assuming ne man, in what other ways does he
think roads can be repaired without machinery?
OF all complaints that have appeared in The Cit
zens Peoples Forum this is the most ridiculous 1t
Is equivalent to building house without That same
equipment he objects to eventually will put Key West
streets In the best condition in its history Surely that
should be recompense enough for the driving incon
venience caused by the presence of the equipment
Many things in life we don't like have to be done
to promote welfare contribute to the progress of
city. For instance when drive on the Overseas
Highway or on city streets squrm when we see
freight or moving coming toward And sometimes
they slow up traffic while produce material is being
unloaded for delivery But those vans or motor trucks
generally play essential role in livelihood With
out the Key West and other cities throughout the

Key Westers know surveys Has "Visitor" never
heard Of the Surveys in Bermuda Has he never read the
gamorous stories about them especially before the
Bermudian government would permit the use of auto
mobiles in that colony?
Many visitors, well Key Westers, admired and
still admire the surreys. They adapted to tourist
town. When tourists arrive in resort they want
things that different from the dayindayout things

publcs fancy because they apt reminder of the
Gay Nnetes," when the American mode of living was
more lesurely than 1t is now.
Even devotees of automobiles often tire of the strenu-
GUS life we are leading and sigh for country place
where speed is not part of living.
But If Visitor does not agree with us about the
surreys he still leaves bafled about paving streets
without equipment.

 The Judith Ann is not primarily [ tourist cruise ship Her principal function is hauling freight to the nttle village of Telegraph Creek
 which is very close to the head of navigation on the river and which serves as the trade center for an immense sparsely populated area of northern British Columbia.
 Picturesque is a badly over worked word, but there are few places that fit the description more readily than Telegraph Creek, clean and friendly little village which clings to a steep hillside a.
 hove the river. Airplanes carry pas sengers to and from the village and
 bring the mail during the winter
 months, but nearly all of the freight for the area is carried by
 the riverboat during the five
 months the Stikine is open to nav igation. Like much of the rest of
 the freighting business in this part of the world, it is a one way haul the Judith Ann tolls up the river loaded and zips back down again light. But this may change in an other year or so. \ road presently under construction will connect ihe asbestos mine on McDame Creek with the river and the product will start moving out over the Stikine route
 This development is likely to bring changes to the river. It will probably call for sizeable barges to carry the cargo and a boat more powerful than the Judith Ann 10 handle the barges, and whether the
 Judith Ann and her passenger bus
 mess will survive is matter of some question:
 The stikine is a tourist attrac- tion that should be second to none
 in the Territory It means a good
 deal to WrangeI and to Southeast Alaska in particular and deserves better support here at home and more advertising aboard than it
 has had It is to be hoped that pas senger service on the river can be at least continued and perhaps ex- banded in the years ahead.
