THE KEY WEST CITIZEN IMPROVEMENTS FOR KEY WEST ADVOCATED BY THE CITIZEN MAKING HIGHWAYS SAFER The year 1936 probably established a new high in the number of persons killed in accidents on the highways of the nation, although final figures for the slaughter have not yet appeared. There was a day when the speed of automobiles was considered the main cause of the fatalities and the factor to be Water and Sewerage. Bridges to complete Road to Main lund. Free Port. 4. Hotels and Apartments. 5. Rathing Pavilion. 6. Ahports--Land and Sea. 7. Consolidation of County and City Governments. e ep the chief cause of death on the roads but little prospect of reducing highway speed is visible to the naked eye at this time. Recognizing this fact, attention is be- ing centered upon other measures, with considerable emphasis being placed upon the observation that our highways, built for 45 miles an hour, are not suitable for the sixty and seventy mile gaits of modern travel. Consequently, one of the safety factors is the possible adaptation and im- provement of our highways for the traffic that they carry. Last year more than $600,000,000 was spent for highway construction, ac- cording to the American Roadbuilders As- sociation. Some of this money was used to elinfinate dangerous grade crossing and a part was used to provide three, four, six and eight-lane highways. Experience h demonstrated that safety lies in such roads where the traffic is heavy. It- may be that the death rate will be greatly reduced through such provisions, Princess Juliana’s husband jis “in Dutch” and apparently enjoying the sit- uation. Congress does not appear so tractable ahymore, and is going to do some of its own thinking. : The Tampa Tribune doesn’t think that Governor Cone is pretty. Nor do we, but he seems to have “‘it.” Governor Cone looks as if he had had many an encounter in the squared circle, and ready again for all comers in_ his class, O. O. McIntyre says 69 writers, in- eluding himself, are turning out daily newspaper columns, “and nobody is doing a thing about it.” GOVERNMENTAL WASTE No matter how old you are, make it your business to play. The avoidance of play may not make you a dull boy, but it will bring you quicker to the grave. In an interview by the late Senator Underwood of Alabama for release after his death, that able statesman commented on the government’s wasteful methods during the World War, of which its ship- building program was a striking example. Of this he said: “The government decided to build its own ships, believing that the price of $80 a ton offered by the United States Steel Corporation was too high, “Well, we had first to build yards, towns, plumbing, lighting, pavements, all living conveniences for thousands of em- ployees. “At last we got to the actual build- ing of ships. ships had cost us, not $80 but from $250 to $300 a ton.” Historians stir up many an argument. One in Nashville is trying to start a con- troversy over whether Grant’s shoes were muddy or polished when Lee surrendered at Appomattox.

In service 54 years, he re- ceived for the past 20 years a_ yearly salary of $9,000.00. In receipt of $180,- 000 during a decade of years, he should have put something aside for the prover- bial rainy day, and could have done so, but lacked the wisdom, and now wants the people of the United States through their government to pay for his improvidence. tion of industrial plants made, it should be remembered, by who loyally supported “during the war, in spite of the tragic waste of time and money which Senator Under- wood was powerless to prevent.
