Waite, deputy administrator of Pub- lic Works, that action should be speeded up on the Public Works Administration appli- cation for money for 24 miles of bridges from Miami to Key West. The two called together on Colonel Clark this morning, and were with him for half an hour. It was learned in- cidently, that although the original application of a pri- vate corporation had called for $12,000,000 that of the Ror” d Toll Bridge District, as approved by the state of Florida, asks only $8,000,000. 2 SMALLER AMOUNT Wilcox and Porter con- tented themselves with pleading for the smaller amount, of which $6,000,000 would be a loan and the re- mainder a direct grant. Pointing out that the pro- | ject consists of ‘two bridges | stretching over shallow wa- ter flats and some channels, Wilcox told Clark that if the application is granted 4,000 | men will be put to work di- rectly and 6,000 others in- directly. | Clark told his visitors that | he would ask the Public Works Board and its various subdi {sion at an early date on the application.
