BE INSPECTED BY OFFICIALS ROUP TO MAKE TRIP TO MIAML FROM WASHINGTON IN CONNECTION WITH NA- TIONAL RESERVATION (Speetal to The Citizen) MIAMI, Fla., Dec. 31.—Van- guard of a group of high officials ‘from the National Park Service at Washington, D, C., who will ar- rive January 2 for an inspection of bourdary lands within the pro- posed, Everglades National Park, Earl A, Trager, chief geologist and head ef the naturalist division, with Mrs, Trager, has arrived in Miami for his: first visit to Fior- ida, ‘which is the last. state in the Union for him to travel. Officially on a vacation, Trager is, nevertheless, spending most of ,, dis 8 within the area of Flori- a@fda’s proposed nationai park where he is making\a pernianent record of it; many unique features with his special cameras of which he is an amateur master. Vice-president of the National Capital ‘Cinema Club, Trager possesses more than 300 moving picture films, which he uses for lectures and in his geological and natural life studies, He is also considered an expert in natural color photography and has been invited by the Eastman Kodak Company to display his work at Rochester. Will Attract Many Located, as it is, so near the center of population, and the only vast area availab’e to the Nation- ».al Park Service in eastern United . States or along the coast line, Trager feels that the Everglades National Park is bound to attract great numbers of people, He finds its plant life is com- parable to that in central Mexico and along the east coast of that country where he spent some four years in geological survey. There is in the lower Florida keys, he remarked, a type of oolitic lime- stone formation which is peculiar to this section in the United States. Studies of this type, he declared, had formerly been con- ducted in Cvba and the West In- dies. 1 May Discover Oil There is a type of strata exist- ent in the northern section of the state extending into Georgia sim- ilar to that which has covered large discoveries of oi] elsewhere and while tests made so far have} never indigated the,presence of oil in commercial quantities, Trager believes Uf isteves atsvevered it will be r vide, area... There is nothin Ae ees he states which would indicate its:presence } within the Everglades area. In commenting on the character- istics of. the Everglades National | Park the geolog'st said “here is! an area of national park caliber| Jocated near the center of popula- tion containing such gq great. di- versity of interest that it cannot fail to attract anyone visiting the region. It has an atmosphere which will bear repetition and one that, once hrving seen, the visitor will feel impelled to visit repeated- ly. “The National Park Service,” , he. concluded, “has no other sim- ilar large area in the eastern Unit~- ed States, nor slong the coast, to offer the public comparable to} that included in the Everglades National Park.” PROPOSAL Sealed bids will be received by _the undersigned up to and includ- ing Saturday, January 2, 1937, at! noon, for the removal. of trash! and garbage in the City of Key ‘West, for a period of six months. Price to be submitted in said bid for week or month, and also the conduct of the service. For further information call at: the City Clerk’s office. The City Council reserves the right to reject any or all bids. BY ORDER OF THE CITY COUNCIL, WALLACE PINDER, City Clerk. dee8i-2t CL hh kh hd dud, VISITORS GREATLY ENJOY STAY. Hi. Mr, and Mrs. C. R.
