Further on in the report is) shown the serious competition in transportation facilities brought) ‘about by the establishment of the Seatrain Lines, Inc., with a policy| of rate cutting.

In the fall of 1932 two! ‘more car ferries of 100 cars capacity were placed in service! | between Hoboken, New Orleans’ and Havana, The concluding sentence in one, of the paragraphs relative to the' Seatrain cites “the percentage, moving through Key West of the total traffic from Gulf Ports, in- eluding Key West, has decreased} | from more than 60 per cent to 28 | per cent. Outlook On Traffic The future traffic outlook Cuban tonnage to be handled byj the Florida East Coast Railway, is bound to be restricted greatly} as a result of changed conditions in Cuba, additional Seatrain com-, petition, less favorable rate ad- {justment from inland points to south Florida ports, the ability of competing ferries to handle coastwise traffic and a heavy northbound movement of sugar from Cuba to New Orleans and New York, in addition to their Cuban traffic and the disappear- ance of important movements as a result of development of menu- factures in Cuba. In another section of the re- port is shown the census figures of Key West from 1900 with 17,- 114 to 1935 with 12,317. The peak was reached in 1910 with 19,945.
