Much of the matter is of great historical interest, since it originates in probably the oldest city in what is now part of the United States. That the edition was suc- cessful financially is evidenced by the fine response of its progressive Franklin D. Roosevelt embellishes the frent page with “best wishes for future achievements.” Plans are announced for completing the overseas highway leading into Key West, or at least for eliminating some of the breaks with bridges.
