What is that monument in front of the | Lighthouse building at the foot of White- | What monuments have been | What - monv- | ments of general interest are located in | head Street? erected in Bayview Park? City Ceméfery? No one person in Key West seems to } know the answers to all these questions. | There seems to be no literature regarding | the various monuments here. Many. of them are of great historic importance, and | events. | connected with great national They commemorate stirring and thrilling episodes in the nation’s history and there- | fore are interesting to many persons from | every section of this country and Cuba, There is the Marti monument at Bay- | view Park in memory of a great Cuban | patriot. There is the Miina monument in City | Cemetery in memory of the soldiers, sailors | and marines who died in Havana harbor at outset of the Spanish-American War. There is the Soldiers monument at | Whitehead, Front and Greene Streets eretted by the Navy, Clubjof Key West in | memory of the/officers, sailors and soldiers | of the army, navy and marine corps’of the United States who lost their lives in the country’s service “upon this station’ from 1861 to 1865. There is the New York State monu- ment at Bayview Park erected in memory of the men from that state who died here | during the Spanish-American war. There is the Upper Matecumbe monu- | ment to the memory of the former service- | men and civilians who died in. the 1935 | Labor Day hurricane. There may be others, but there seems | to be no public record of them. Which in- | dicates that some agency should interest itself in the compilation of a history of the Monroe monuments for inclusion in a folder | or booklet for general distribution... It would be an interesting document locally, and would be highly informative and en- lightening to the thousands of visitors to Montoe county and Key West. Attention to this matter was. directed yesterday when Arthur Sawyer Post No. 28 of The American Legion announced plans for beautifying and improving the grounds areund the Upper Matecumbe ‘monument. These are needed improvements around a beautiful shaft right at the entrance to the keys and Key West. The post’s efforts along this line should be encouraged and 1 $e" some time at {North Carolina. \by adoption, having been in Key aided in every possible way..

This item reported only the latest chapter in a long story which for more than two years has been growing in length. Seventy-six newspapers of the United States have either suspended or merged with other pub- lieations since June, 1937.. Thirty-five of these closed their doors during the first five months of 1939. The authority for these statements is the New York ‘Times; issue of August 6. Responsible in large part according to execu- tives of newspapers concerned, for forcing these newspapers to the wall were increased labor costs, of federal and state taxation. _ Newspaper managements are challenged to- day as seldom before.
