Most of the ma- terial is derived from Jeffer- son B. Browne’s history, "Key West, The Old and New”, but other information and elab- oration included is from re- putable sources. ‘95 WATER SURVEY— In 1895 the City of Key West undertook a survey of possibili- ties of securing a fresh water supply from sinking an artesian well in Jackson Square, which is the square in which the present County Court House is situated. Edmond Otis Hovey prepared a full report for the zoological so- ciety of Harvard College which brought out the fact that no trac- es of fresh water in that area were found. Samples of the bor- ings were taken every 25 feet from the surface to the bottom. Most of the samples showed a shallow water origin. RUN, NIGGER, RUN— City Council of 1 placed a per capita tax on “free negroes, mulattoes and slaves”. The negro brought about other laws in Old Key West. They were not per- mitted to play the fiddle, beat a drum or make any other kind of noise‘after the curfew bell at 9:30 p. m. More than this, the s had to be within the doors of his master’s home before the bell stopped ringing. Any citizen could arrest the negro if he were caught out of doors after the bell- ring. Most amusing was it to see a negro sprinting for home when the fatal bell began tolling and hear some bystander shout out in the dark streets, “Run, nigger, run. The Patrol catch you”. USED TURTLE REMAINS— The present world-famous A. Granday Green Turtle Soup Can- ning Factory here had difficul- ties at its start. A. Granday, a celebrated French chef, started the business in 1890. He had a great deal of trbuble in securing turtle from. the local fishermen, partly because they disliked him and partly because they were afraid he would bring competi- tion to their business. At any rate, they refused to furnish him with turtle meat. For a_ long time, the only turtle meat Gran- day got was that he could secure in the the harbor on the outgoing tide, which were remains the fishermen had thrown away. He accumulated a fair fortune and sold the business in 1904 to Louis Mouton. In 1910, Norberg Thomp- son acquired the plant and has run it since. He gets shipments, of 300 turtle from the British turtle schooner, A. M. Adams, which nets them off Nicaragua. 140 SHIPS ONCE SPONGED— The Key West sponging indus- try started when a cargo of sponges gathered in these waters was sent to New York in 1849 and, although narrowly missing being thrown away as worthless, eventually brought a fair sale The catch of sponge in Old Key West days was once $750,000 a year, and used 140 vessels and 1,200 men.
