The Key West Citizen, all local civic organizations and practically every lead- ing citizen of the county have heartily en- | dorsed the plan of guaranteeing the inter- est on the investment required for the con- struction of the highway toll bridges. During the past week this newspaper, the county commissioners and progréssive peo- ple have endeavored in every way possible | to make the issue clear to the reading pub- lic and to stress the vital importance of a | | unanimous vote favoring the proposition.

We could not reasonably expect financiers to invest their millions in’a project for our benefit if even we hesitate to guarantee simple interest on the investment. We know that. under conte county may never be called up out any money on them in any v ever, We realize in a measure the great era of amazing prosperity the completion of the highway and bridges will certainly bring about for this communi f Then who would ‘hesitate to “yes” in the referendum tomorrow?
