As a member of} the Tourist Commission of the | Republican of Cuba, a member of | the Hotel Association of Cuba, | and a member of the Comite; Conjunto de Corporaciones Eco-} nomics de Cuba (in which I rep- resent the Hotel Assn.), I, in be-! alf of our interests in the ad- vantages to accrue to our Island} Republic, do, hereby, ask your respectful attention to our peti- tion to your, Honor to refuse to grant the discontinuance of the said valyable connecting link for the several and distinct reasons, as follows: (a). By virtue of the friendly relations between sister Republics we partake of the benefits and hardships of the larger Republic. Our very economic life is closely tied up with the State of Florida, in that it is our chief point of contact. Key West offers us anj avenue of outlet which will ma- terially suffer without this band of steel to steady it, in the busi-! ness which it enjoys through our industries. se (b). The abandonment of the Railway aforesaid will work ir-} reparable harm to Key West.‘ which will then revert to its for-| mer position of a.sleepy fishing} village, because business now es-| tablished cannot compete with; outside industries. The port of} entry for.importations _ and ex-| porting will work suicide to the residents and citizens of the pres- ent Key West, so sure as the link is destroyed by placing an auto- mobile road on: the present road- way. (c). The most southern point of your vast domains, to the deep water will work a hardship on the | nation, if the shipping is denied | of the new sea level canal in Nicaragua it is imperative that this should be provided for the great : deep} sea ships. (The advantage in this respect is patent to your Honor, and to every industrial leader.) (d).
