When a delegation inte The Citizen office it| ideas will be in the city then, What is the thought which is suggested to the mind of the reader—that because part of the bridge is torn away that it is useless and should not be argued for, that there is no fishing in the bridged channels left, that Key Westers should give up willingly without a fight the last fishing and sunning pier left adjacent to Key West where there is not motor traffic. .This is the same sort of reporting which gave out the story about interest being saved by refunding | bridge, bonds and nothing about clear- ing the District of tolls, which wes a distinct possibility with the present election making it a factor. It was the same reporting whieh stated that there was a hotel shortage here at the height of the tourist season when by actual survey there were 135 rooms available, or the other kinds of propaganda or colored news presented. This paper will quickly move always) to shatter these propaganda bub- bles and present the salient buried facts insofar as it is able. e e QUESTION: Time: 7:30 p.m. Place: County Courthouse. Question: To save the half re- maining part of Boca Chica Bridge to make it a fishing and fecreational county pier {dr tourist and Key West use, the half remaining part being in} good repair. Participating Bodies: Busi- nessmen’s Association, Profes- sional and Business Women's Association, Junior Chamber of Commerce, County Commission. e e WHAT FUTURE PLANS Sometimes one sits back and thinks a little about the future and wonders just what will be the component parts of the city of Key West five years from now. Who will be the leaders? Which organizations will have done the most work? What big builders, what big investors will be here,then. Who will compose the city commission and the county commission. Principally under it all one wonders what @eeures more space on 4 question than the) what . the editer leans to. This as! There will never again be the; columns. Editorials are available * let ws take the Boca Bridge question. For prior to the time the column hammered at Shought of « county pier the majority of citizens the idea. Then suddenly seat @ clear blue sky the ete Read Department moved Geen trom Niles Channel and tearing the bridge out feet was duly noted.
