The interest displayed in this addition to the multitudinous at- tractions of Key West, by an emi- sen shows that his interest in Key West is not of the kind that wanes, but grows with his knowledge of! the city, its people and its possi- bilities, one of which he envision- ed years ago and is about to be realized, it is shown. Immediate Reply Immediately after the money was allocated for the aquarium the secretary of the chamber of com- merce wired Dr. Van Deusen and at once received a reply that plans! for the building would be sent. These were received this week, and present possibilities for the display of fish and aquatic ani- mals from these waters in such a manner that will no doubt appeal to thousands of people from every part of the country. In a wire to Dr. Van Deusen it was suggested he come to Key West if possible and go over the plans, select what he knew would be a logical site for the building and tanks. The matter of the doctor’s com- ming to Key West was mentioned be no more than right that his ex- penses be guaranteed for the trip. Donates To Fund No sooner was this subject broached than Dr. Harry C. Gal- ‘ey said, “I will give $100 for the doctor's. expenses.” © This was.ac- cepted and the magnanimous of- fer, along with other matters rela- tive to the possible sites to res selected were sent in a wire } Philadelphia.

W. Rhein, U.S. A., commanding ‘officer. Employes on this project are registrants on the Civil Works Ad- ministration lists and are being assisted by the technical know- ledge of the enlisted personnel jof the army unit. ' Excavations for the new sew- \erage project ate almost com- | pleted and pipe lines are to be laid in a short time. This system will} be complete to the minutest detail and when finished will guarantee the acme of service under the most modern sanitary conditions. The entire camp site has been laid out near Fort street far re- moved from the former site. Lines have been run and ground plans staked out for the kitchens, and other permanent structures that make up the camp. With this change of the camp proper, the parade ground will be in another section of the reserva- tion, will be more readily acces- sible to visitors and upon comple- tion will be admirably suited for the purpose. There is a great deal of activity in road building. All of the old roads being rebuilt and leveled,} with suitable -drainage facilities and a number of new roads are under construction. When the 265th Regiment ©. A. C., Florida National Guard arrives this: year, officers and enlisted personnel will be agreeably sur- to| prised and delighted with the meta- morphosis that has been effected at the camp site since the encamp- ment in Key West last August. ‘ON GUARDS i | years the doctor has discussed and } planned the aquarium, received the SNOW REPORTED IN SOME AREAS OVER COUNTRY COLD WAVE THAT COVERED CENTRAL CANADA START- ED TO MOVE SOUTHWARD INTO PLAINS STATES (By Associated Press) The weather bureau today re- ported the cold area that yester- day covered central Canada had moved southward into the plains states and the upper Great Lakes region.

After going over the blue- prints submitted in connec- tion with the proposed pro- jects, the council granted permission for the aquarium, with the understanding that an application be made to the headquarters of the Civil Works Board for its ap- proval in the matter. It was shown that plans have\ been changed regarding the site to be used as it was first intended to erect the aquarium at the foot of Simonton street on the old Wagner propery, but since it was learned that this property was in litigation, it was decided to use the site at the foot of Whitehead street, situated between the Mal- lory Steamship Company's _ prop- eee rt eS eranea granted Sica ks outright for the éonstruction of the sponge dock at the foot of Grinnell street as no government Permit is necessary in this matter.
