A. P. Turner company or any other bridge building con- cern. The sentiment voiced at the polls Tuesday will not involve the interests of Monroe county in any manner whatever. It would only be a beautiful expression of confidence in the county commissioners, and the strongest kind of indication that the progressive people of this community are thoroughly sold on themselves and the resources of this richly en- dowed region, and would stress the fact that the citizens really believe in the success of the toll bridges and are willing to pack up their firm be- lief by a sufficient guarantee. e The county commissioners have very properly passed the issue to the people. Now the citizens should pass it back to them with a great big O. K. in the form of heartily expressed “YES.” We expect the bankers and financiers to have confidence in the toll bridge proposition to the extent of furnishing the millions 6f dollars neces- sary to build them. The financiers believe that the people of Mon- roe county should also manifest\in a substantial way their confidence in the proposed toll bridges. Simply the guarantee of 6 per cent interest annual- ly on the sum spent for construction is little enough to ask of the people, and it should be enthusiastical- ly granted at the polls without.a single opposing vote. If we haven’t that much faith in the proposi- tion, how could we expect the financiers to have any at all? It is indeed a fine proposition. The bridges are to be completed and must have been in opera- tion one full year before this annual interest of $600,000 will become due. During this first twelve months the travel over this great highway, the ninth wonder of the world, will be greater than that of any other highway in the world. The pro- ceeds from tolls will represent an enormous sum, which it is confidently believed will pay all ex- penses of the bridge operation, liquidate the $600,- 000 interest. guarantee and still leave a splendid profit for the county. It is really within the bounds of reason to anficipate this after noting the phenomenal returns from other toll bridges in the state not so favorably located. The county commissioners are deserving of praise. They have done their work intelligently and well.. Now that they have’ thé ‘tremendous proposition in a form that looks good to theni, they naturally want to know what the people who elect- ed them to office think about it, what the citizen want them to do about it. Monroe county should stand squarely back of vhe commissioners 100 per cent strong. Hand them back the question with hearty and unanimous ap- proval. With a great big “YES” on your ballot next Tuesday, say to the county commissioners, ‘Go ahead; men, we are with you. We have utmost confidence in you and the great propositions you are handling so ably and well. We are with you heart and soul with our cooperation,.our influence and our finances, with a guarantee or anything else that may be required or called for.” And more, “We have as much confidence in the toll bridge proposition as we expect others to have, and we are willing to back up our faith with our works.” ELECTRIC BEAUTY AIDS Recently a physician stated that women were overlooking cne of their greatest available aids tc beauty by neglecting to make a wider use of elec- trie appliances. At first thought this appeared to be a Tike name statement, but he went on to explain that relief from drudgery would do more toward preserving the health and beauty of women than any other means which might be em- | ployed. He pointed out that they might be spared much | ef the labor which breaks them down prematurel) | if they would avail themselves of the many |abor- saving clectrical devices which have been develop. | ed for household use. Electrical washing machines, sewing machines, irons, vaeuum cleaners, ranges and many other appliances designed to relieve drudgery were enumerated. Then the statement was made that America women spend more money in a year for cosmetics and other artificial beauty aids than is spent for housewives of THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Oh, Slush!
