CITES CITY’S FUTURE Editor, The Citizen: Key West is receiving un- bounded publicity in the newspa- pers and magazines of our coun- try. The March of Time deserves great credit and praise for the part they have also played. This week's issue of “Life” carried a full size picture of one of the new spans on one side, and on the other a picture of the relief train that was blown off the tracks in the Labor Day storm. I think the peoplé of Key West would have apppreciated a view of the city. This photograph will create in the minds of the people that these bridges which we have just built are not enduring. What we need is wholesome publicity, ghastly reminder of Labor Day, 1935. Our people are heroic, but the civic leaders and _ others, have so nobly fought to make this a feasible and realistic project should have their names inscrib- ed and placed on a plaque where it can be observed and retained forever. Disappointments . haye. come to our great civic leaders, regardless of their endeavors, and regardless of the great praise they are receiving now, it is only their spirit of love for our city and state that can make it possible for them to forget the abuse and criticism they have received dur- ing the past because they could not bring home seven or eight million dollars with which to complete their dreamed of proj- ect. The public is slow to re- ward a man for his efforts but quick to criticize. We must not forget the efforts of The Key West Citizen during these years. Its efforts have been very valuable to us and contri- bute largely to our success. Before us lies a wonderful fu- ture, but we must not forget, that with the coming of outside capital and the influx of people that in a few years we shall be merged and become only a minority but we can still retain the personality and hospitality which has made our city sought after. The future holds great econom- ic possibilities but without an ex- cellent fresh water supply we cannot expand beyond a certain horizon. It is to this factor that we must contribute our whole hearted support. Through the de- pression our people have seen some periods when financial as- sistance from our government was needed and their faith was so nobly reflected by granting the money to build our Overseas Highway. Yesterday has been rolled away, a future with its possibili- ties lies ahead, but let us keep the great gambling rackets and syndi- cates out of Key West for crime and health are poor mixers. What- ever our plans let us not forget, but in all our efforts keep one thing in mind, we can suffer dis- aster again, so keep God foremost in whatever we plan. We should determine here and now we are not going to become the Sodom and Gomorrah: of Florida, but the Land of Sunshine, Health and Happiness.

It was also suggested that the city take over the contract itself, and do away with the services of Messrs. Lewis and Sawyer, and operate under the supervision ot the sanitary and health officer. It was shown and stated at the meeting that it would be a rather difficult matter for the city to op- erate the service itself inasmuch as William Knight is giving such satisfactory service, and that it was only natural under the cir- cumstances that the greater ma- jority of residents were heartily in favor of having Mr. Knight continue handling their garbage and trash. In other words, it was show? that the people themselves were paying for the service, and it was said that it would be rather un- fair to endeavor to force them to give up Mr. Knight, regardless of the fact that the city may desire to operate ‘under a new arrange- ment. churches, schools and many or- ganizations asking for their active co-operation. It has been suggested that we replace broken panes of glass in our windows, repair broken door- steps, or any other part of the home that needs repairs. We have been urged to remove all trash and rubbish from our premises during this week, and to have a general clean-up. We have a splendid crowd of Methodists in Key West, and they all remember that John Wesley declared that to Godliness”. The circulars urge us to plant shrubbery and about our homes and “cleanliness is next sent to us also flowers churches. We are constantly invited by the Rotary Club, Chamber of Commerce, and other useful bodies to make Key West attrac- tive. Many have responded. There are certain citizens of our community whose work and office take them from the “beaten tracks” and some of them are deeply concerned about this very matter. In back lanes, behind many ‘homes, in side streets, are conditions simply deplorable, and dangerous to health. People who are working con- stantly, and who are not by any means poverty-stricken, are con- tent to have heaps of garbage, dumps of empty tins, about the home. The moment the long-ex- pected showers arrive, these can: thousands of them, wiil be filled with water, and in a little. time, the mosquitoes will come in their millions. It will take a lot of advertising to counteract the effect of this experience which is so avoidable. In Trinidad, Port-of-Spain, it was a treat to see the police in! lean white suits.

Mr. Knight has been continual- ly operating the service since he first started under contract with the city, and since that time he has been carrying on in the same capacity as an individual, with no connection whatever with the city. After the council had discussed the matter from many. angles, the members could ‘reach no agreément, and the matter rested with no action whatever being, taken on the issue.
