Key West emerged from its an- tiquity. in 1815 when a Governor of Habana, Don Juan de Es- trada, presented the island to Lieut. Juan Pablo Salas, probably with a twinkle in his eye as he wondered what the Lieutenant would do with the gift. Salas himself must have wondered, for a few years later he sold Key West to John Simonton of Ala-} bama, and chuckled to himself because he got $2,000 out of the; bargain. Key West is still largely Span- | ish. In. fact, out of the. present | population of about 12,000, there are about 5,000 whites, 4,000 Cu-} jbans and. 3,000 of the colored | race. Whatever the race, they! all seem to be of the opinionsthat; {Key West, once the wealthiest | city in the United States (per) capita) and now one of the poor- jest, will come back. Its wonder- ful frost-free climate, tempered by the trade wnids; its unexcell- {roofs of some ientirely different type ed fishing to attract the sports- men; its restfulness and auiet far away from the hustle and bustle of Miami ana West Palm Beach; these things they are confident will attract people from the North who seek the very combin- ation which Key West offers. We previously mentioned the fact that Nantucket was linked with Key West through the work of a man named Macy who help- ed develop the “gas works” there many years ago. But there is another touch of Nantucket vis- ible at Key West. Picking up a folder one day we through it and found the follow- ing paragraph: “The visitor to Key West will probably notice ‘walks’ on of the houses. These really belong to Nantucket. where they are quite common. No one seems to know how they happened to be used out here on Key West, but possibly some captain from the northern island came down here years ago and took up his residence”. The next morning we kept our eyes open for the “walks”. Sure enough, we saw several “walks” —but none built exactly like those on top of the Nantucket jhouses, for the Key West houses are not so large and are of an of con- struction. But the “walks” are ithere. One night we happened to men- tion to the assistant manager in the hotel the matter of gas and electricity. Knowing that the ‘Key West gas plant was estab- glanced | the! ltoa that gas was the fuel used ' most for cooking—that practica-|U, §. WEATHER ly no coal reached the island and} that very little fuel oil was used. The gas plant has its supply of coke brought down from. Tampa or some other Gulf port and the rate charged the consumer is about $1.45 per 1000 feet. We then happened to mention ,electticity. “Yes, we use electri- « \eity for. be }we were told. “But it “is very; thigh. First we haye to pay $25 }for each-meter installed ahd that imeans. $50 if.anyone is to use both light and power. And then it depends on how much is used per month on top of that. Some months my bill reaches $45, some monthé a little less, but it is apt to be high, for not every one reaches the low rate”. Ap@ Key West is an island 2bout 100 miles away from Flor- ida just as Nantucket is an island , 2bout thirty miles from Massa- chusefts. Neither island has any industries. Both depend upon visitors and tourists for their livelihood. Rather interesting! People in Key West are some- what~disturbed over the report that a submarine was seen a few miles.gouth of the island not long jago—a report that northern newspapers in a. very abbreviated form—just a small |dispatch. But Key West people point™ts the “prompt** action lthe government in closing gates to Fort Taylor, in . not* al: lowing the public on either putting the lighthouse ~ which stands in the center of the town under close guard—behind its shelter of palms. “Yes”, we were told, “a sub- marine mysteriously appeared off shore and it was not one of our ‘own subs.
