MANY PERSONS STILL DESIRE TO COME HERE FOR WINTER SEASON The Chamber of Com- merce’s daily mail is a rev lation of the many people throughout the country who want to come to Key West for the winter. However, the number of arrivals are few because of the lack of accom- modations. Judging from some of the letters the chamber receives. some folks in various parts of the country must think that housing accommodations in Key West are going beg- ging. One of the letters re- ceived today was from a young woman, who requested that a “list of houses with vacant rooms” be sent to her so that she could choose a room she wished to rent. She specified too that the houses should be along the beach front. Other letters are from people who wish to come to Key West to work. In all those cases, Secretary Single- ton refers the letters to William V. Little, of the Fed- eral Employment Agency, 314 Simonton street. THE ANSWERS QUESTIONS ON PAGE TWO 1, In 1935. 2.
