The state taxes rebated for 1935 and 1936 amounted te $4,671.30. The taxes rebated by Mon- roe County, including schoo] taxes amount- ed to $88,975.31. Monroe County has paid its share to establish a way of escape from the mainland to the isle of perpetual sum- mer, “As a matter of fact,” announces the Herald, “Key West is the principal bene- ficiary, but not the principal supporting agency of this road and bridge project.” This will be news to those public |, spirited citizens of Key West who have} spent lavishly of their own money and their own energies to bring about the ac- complishment of this project. One might gather from the Herald’s argument that | the bridges were built by Dade - County and that the fact that Key West happened to be at the southern end of it was merely }, an accident. Nor, is it only Dade County and the “winter visitors” to Dade County for whose convenience the bridges and road is being built. An imposing amount of commercial travel awaits their comple- tion, also an important number of “winter visitors” who do not originate in Dade County and who will not tarry there, once the barriers between them and the United States’ finest climate are eli sweat blood and spent its < own money. The Overseas Bridge and Road Com- mission is regarded by Key West as_ its own particular business and it has not: the slightest intention in the world to leave its guardianship into any alien hands—es- pecially into any hands which seem to be afflicted with clutching spells, such as those for which:the Herald seems to be speak- ing; and the Herald seems to feel that there are and that it is speaking for them. “In the interests of the future of the Oversea Highway,” the’Legislature will in all probability entrust its destiny into the hands that have so long and faithfully striven to bring it to pass, and to those to whom its maintenance is of first import- ance. According to Scotland’s law, mar- riage is a simple contract which is com- pleted by nothing more formal than con- sent; there are no formalities necessary, and any boy over 14 and any girl over 12 may contract a marriage without consent of parents or guardians. The Scot may be canny, but not wise, at least not in this case, many may think.
