By PAUL MAY Speelal Washington Correspondent of The Citizen WASHINGTON, July 27,—W. R. Porter, gen- ‘eral manager of the Monroe County Road and Toll Bridge Commission, has secured assurances from of- ficials of the Public Works Administration that the application of the Commission for a $10,000,000 loan to finance construction of bridges over two water gaps between Key West and the mainland, will be among the first to get consideration when the ma- chinery for making self-liquidating loans has been set up, he said today. At the head of the list of loan applications to be considered are those from municipalities and other political subdivisions, Mr. Porter was told. The Mon- roe County Bridge Commission’s request will come within this group, because of the status of the com- mission as a legislature-created body, with members appointed by Governor Sholtz, he pointed out. Not only will the application be among this group to get preferred attention, but it will be like- ly to get quicker action than many of other in the group, due to the‘finished F | data regarding the proposed bridges an be present- ed, the Bridge Commission manager was unofficial- ily advised, Completion of the Public Works Administra- tion’s organization for handling self-liquidating loans is not expected before the end of the week, | fered the many injuries noted, 'and when he arose he told the same | marvelous to relate is the fact that “Story of the grouper, and his ef-| | bottle cf liquor in his pocket had forts to drive it away. ! jescaped destruction and was in-| As the captain's story was cor- ‘tact. ‘roborated by Mr. Haskins the!
