The day in and day out, would have ito be considered. In the case of |Miami, especially, this would jaffect the tourist business to a ‘great extent, in our opinion, as a jbig percentage of this class of {visitors come to that city for \“peace and quiet”. In the case jof Key West, the ‘would not be so great in that jmore of maneuvers would be ters. And then, again— ‘a. |, it has been said that if Miami lis awarded the base . . . the site | would be on Biscayne Key. that this key heads the water way route to our city, and lin line with other instances, yacht traffic over this route would be seriously curtailed. This angle is worth looking into. Free, unampered travel over the inner-water way must be avail- jable at all times. The future of this city depends upon it.
