In a let- ter to Secretary Singleton, Miss Dunham writes: “I want to thank you for the many courtesies extended to ,President Bowman and myself while in your charming city last week. “And ? want to Key West on having such an ef- ficient Chamber of Commerce. While you were giving me serv- ice in the office I had occasion to ‘note how many other visitors iyou were called on to serve at | the same time, and how they were handled. You are surely |making friends for your city. | | “It goes without saying that a ‘city like Key West, with its} jmany charms, is going to have | jan increasing number of visitors} j calling on the chamber for all! execu- congratulate | COCCCOSHSOOOOOOOZOOOCOOE ‘The rush is’ believed ‘to:-have re-| SPRING STYLE SUIT |sulted through visits of , many | who are shortly planning4to re- ee? turn north and have made’ it a point to be in the Island City for ‘some time. Just after April 1, hotels wiil begin to note a lag; ‘in all Flerida cities. Most, of the tourists experiencing ex- tremely balmy weather here will \imagine that it is the same up north and will get the longing for the old homestead—be it ever so cold! Then will follow the long list of letters from the same ivisitors who have arrived north to find mud, a great deal of sleet and snow, and the raw ‘weather before Spring, that they went back too early. Each year it is the same story. “Stay Through May” is a good policy. ! i P a SPRING SUIT (above) is of mavy rayon sheer crepe with the dress collared in white Pique, the coat reaching clear to the hem.

ONE RELIEFER talking over the relief situation with this column wonders, as most people jdo, what will happen to Key West when the relief is over. He likens the Key West of the sum- mertime, after relief is no more, to a “skeleton crew”. This crew of carpenters, masons, enterpris- ers will fix up the town during the summer for the winter“resi- dence of tourists. Remaining here to add to the population will be the commercial fishermen who have small Cuban and Flor- ida markets and a local market, the sponge fishermen who have markets tRroughout the year and whose catches are noticeably in- creasing with more -boats going into the trade, a few cigar fac-, Jesus G a, who is employed in a local restaurant, left on the early bus this morning for Miami en route to Tampa to be with his daughter who is to undergo an operation as soon as he arrives. Mrs. Wilson White, Mrs. Mar- garet Roberts and Miss Gertrude Eubanks, formed a party leaving on the early bus for Miami en route to Clatnon, Ala., where they will spend a vacation with relatives and return to Key West at the end of several weeks. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Lunn and Gaston Stickney, were arri- vals over the highway yesterday from Fort Lauderdale, and plan to remain visiting with relatives until Monday.

MAJOR PROPERTY OWNERS ‘have. pretty well paid up their city taxes here. The tracts out through county road are still ) largely owing, however. There is about $100,000 which the city can collect if all paid their taxes. This amount represents only 20 percent of the total under the 80 percent off basis of the city, which is good until June 1. AT THE TIME the Key West- Havana cigar company moved to Key West, Tampa was full of rumors that the Griadiaz-Annis factory would move here at the same time. The rumors now re- port that the factory is waiting to see how the Key West venture turns out before coming here. An important reason for West-Havana company here was taking advantage of Key West’s famous reputation for cigars. Unstrupulous cigar the Key coming ‘dealers in certain parts of the, country have ruined their own brands by using beer and vanilla to give a uniform flavor to their | cheap tobacco. | SOME DAY, not so far away, there will be a line of residences and cottages along the inside of Roosvelt Boulevard on both the Bay and Ocean sides with this column believing the ocean side will develop first. Ahead of the homes would be a 75-foot wide Boulevard with a seawall, which should give ample protection to residences. IN A PRESS REPORT from Washington statistics were cited | to show that Key West has more | hurricanes than Miami. Key! Westers will be surprised but} this is true.
