The Key West Citisen CITIZEN REPRINTS DONNELLY SURVEY | ABOUT FREE PORT |RE-PUBLICATION MADE DUE TO INTEREST REVIVED IN FREE ZONES AT PRESENT TIME The Citizen is republishing _to- jday a survey and report of a Pro- | {posed Free Port in Key West,| {compiled by William E. Donnelly, | |M. E., of New York, \ A map of the Free Port area is} also shown, | The report is comprehensive, pointing out the reasons for the! {establishment of a Free Port inj |Key West, the chief of which is j the strategical location. Without question, Key West is ; better located than any other city in the United States for the es- tablishment of a Free Port in han-% | dling cargoes consigned to’ or com- ‘ing from the West Indies, Cen- {tral America and South America. ; Other reasons that are empha- ‘sized by Mr. Donnelly are the {climate and health of Key West, the land area required for the pro- | posed free port and the excellent i harbor here. ; Mr. Donnelly’s survey and re- {port were endorsed by the city council and the county commis- sioners. @ The reason for its re-publica- tion by The Citizen is because there is considerable discussion about free ports now going on in various parts of the country, and The Citizen believes that such re- publication is now most timely. Key West, Florida, has the most equable weather in the country: with an average range of only 14° Fahrenheit.
