Barron Collier and members of the State Road De- partment in designating the route | of the trail to suit their own views, whereby Monroe County was not being given a square deal the matter inasmuch as the original plans called for the con- struction 6f the road over the| seven miles in the westerly end of the county. Whcn the meeting waxed warm, with the attacks being made on Governor Martin in which it was openly insinuated that he was working in the interest of Collier and the members of the state road | department, Arthur H. Gomez, solicitor for the Circuit Court of Monroe County, took the floor, and made a ‘strong defense for the governor, in which he stat +d, that whatever may have been done in an improper manner in connec- tion with the designation of the Tamiami Trail which would de- prive Monroe County of just and fair recognition, he felt satisfied from his knowledge of the gov- ernor that he was not a party to the scheme. Mr. Gomez added that he did not know Mr. Hathaway, and that he could not make any defense for him, but said'that he did know Governor Martin, and knew that he was a friend of Monroe Coun- ty. A copy of the resolutions, which was unanimously adopted is being sent Governor and members of the State Road Department informing them of the stand taken by the Monroe -Gounty. residents .at- the | meeting held last night. A copy of the resolutions is herewith pub- lished for the benefit of the read- ers of The Citizen: RESOLVED: It is the sense of the members of the Chamber of Commerce and the citizens of Key West, Florida, in mass meeting assembled, that in order to preserve the dignity and integrity of the State of Flor-! ida ard Monroe County, they sary out the agreement heretofore} jmade between the counties of Dade enc Lee and Chevelier Corpora- tion and complete the building of | the Tamiami Trail between the city of Miami and Fort Myers, via Dade, Monroe, Collier and Lee Counties. | ‘That we emphatically protest) against’ any change being made} by the State Road Department from the original route agreed upon by the County Commission- ers of the aforesaid counties, and be it further resolved that his} honor, the Governor of the State jof Florida, and the members of the State Road Department be urgently requested to see that no! change is made from the original | plans and that the incompleted seven mile stretch of road on the | westerly end of Monroe County be completed to conform with the wishes and desires of the citizens} | | Kieb at the | beating him up, how to approach local Red Cross chapter, in bring- ‘ing Capt, William G.
