The great highway had been somewhat’ “tidied up”, for just a few days before the President of the Unit- ed States had motored over the road to Key West in a motor- cade. Key West is a novel little city. It has rather narrow streets and a distinct Cuban (Spanish) at-! mosphere prevails. Plenty of; walks. Windows have the old- fashioned shutters, so folks can’t see what goes on inside the home after nightfall. Fishing, turtle! ing are important industries.

As the guest of a retired naval dpctor, I attended the Key West Rotary Club meeting in the Par-} ish house of the Episcopal church.

It gives one a dis- tinct thrill to drive a car over much of this Overseas Highway, for which privilege you pay one dollar for the car and driver and 25 cents tor each additional pas- senger therein. These fees are to pay the railway for that right- of-way and the PWA for its loan. ‘Key West boasts of a climate that changes but a degree or two be- tween winter and summer.

Happenings Here Just 10 Years Ago Today As Taken From The Files of The Citizen At a meeting of the city coun- cil last night the proposition of Dr. J. S. Merrill, one of three submitted for the purpose af furnishing the city with fresh water, wes voted on most fay- ,orably. Dr. Merrill represents the Central Trust Company of Chicago and the Standard Water System of Hampton, N. J. Dr. Merrill addressed the board in connection with the franchise which he hopes to secure from the city. A charge of $3 per thousand gallons would be made with the understanding that this would be the minimum charge whether or not that amount would be used. In the event that 15,000 gallons are used there is a possibility that the price would be reduced to $2 per thousand gallons. The proposition from the International Water Com- pany in which the city was asked to permit the company to drill a well for the securing of -water with the understanding that the city furnish $50,000 for carrying on the work with the water com- pany to finance all other expens- es of the company, was read Should the project prove success- ful the. charge would be 31% cents per thousand gallons, while special rates would be made on larger quantities. The city would become the owner of the system in 30 years. This proposition was rejected. S. W. Brown, for the past three | years manager of the local gas |plant, has been transferred to the office of manager of the gas plant of the company at Pensa- cola. He will be succeeded here by W. V. Malone, chief clerk in the office of the company in Key West. Mr. and Mrs. Brown will leave by automobile tomorrow | for Atlanta before going to Pen- sacola. Fifteen merry men and women, whose combined ages would rep- resent more than 1,000 years, members of the Three Score and Ten Club of Miami, came to the city yesterday and appeared to be as much enthused over the joy ride as if they were in their teens. The good will trip was headed by Dr. A. F. B. Oden, sec- \retary of the organization, which is the only one of its kind in the world.
