Visitors a en New ( Call For Rental Listings Urgent Request For | sired Information The housing department of the Key West Administration today issued another appeal for rental listings. Practically all the houses, apart- ments, rooms and cottages which have been listed as available for rental, with the housing depart- ment, have.been rented since the| department: started functioning | last week, it was said. “We are receiving inquiries every day for places in which to live, and right now there are vir- { tually none which we have on our cards which we can mention,” it; was shown. out its first appeal for listings last week, asking that the places: sbe described in detail, including sereens, location, rate, sanitary conveniences and the like, in writ- ing. Since then, virtually all of the places which were listed have heen rented, it was sa‘d, placing the department in a position where it can be of little use until more listings are made. Rental agencies have. been ask- ed to place their listings with the department, and in cases where thore listings are rented, the rentals will move through the reg- ular business channels, L.
