This was the way he expresed his view of Key West to his friends. Mr. Bancroft appeared at the Rotary Club at luncheon today at the Hotel La Concha. Mr. Bancroft said that one ago last November activities were not startling. Last March, he said, there was a marvelous change, which was greater than any that he has ever seen in life in so short a time. “Important things are now under way,” he said. To grow as we shonld, lr. Bancroft declared, and in the marvelous way people wish it, the main thing is the highway and the fundamertal thing is the water sup- ply. After securing the latter Key West should progress rapidly. He added that he was glad that so much attention is being paid to sewerage at this time before the population is_ doubled or trebled. | Mr. Bancroft also complimented the community on its building pro-| gram, which he believes will do much year | for this city. However, there is a wrong impres- country, he said: And there is work, to be done to undo this unfavorable; these impressions has already been remedied, he said, and that is the hotel accommodations in the city. He wished the management of the Hotel La Concha much success. He remarked that the wonderful limate was the cause of the popular- | ¢ ity of southern Florida in the win- ter, and not due to the froth of fix- ings, such-as swimming pools, horse that afford and other things His father-in-law, Mr: suffering from. bronchi n ary and. was unable to secure relief | until he reached Key West, where he, was cured. “Key West has a delight- ful climate all the time,” he said.; He also explained the difference of climate between northern and south- ern Florida, between Jacksonville and Key West as between Boston and Jacksonville. Further referring to the delightful ARCHBISHOP JOHN climate of southern Florida in com- parison to the winters in the nor_., and Boston in particular, Mr. Ban-, croft said the method of clearing snow in Boston with huge caterpillars was similar to the way deve!opers do things in Florida. Capt. Clark D. Stearns gave a re-, port of the meeting held at St. Au- gustine between Key West represen- tatives and officials of the Florida East Coast Railroad. W. L. Bates gave a report on the progress of the Red Cross drive. The work of enrolling new members is going along splendidly. A more com- plete outline of the work of the dif- ferent chairmen of the committees in charge of the roll ca'l for 1926 will be made the next meeting. It was also mentioned at the meet- ing that efforts would be made to se- cure the fourteen girl swimmers Olympic champions, to come to Kev West about March 1. They will be in Miami February 28. Col.
