Yours, THE ORACLE. til i q ApKey Wester; who, for 10 years, represented in the | a States hotel men in ee. im directing tourists to that zen city, told The Citi-' hot ig a e Key West sn di ing the comibg winter "segs son. But, he added, how ex- tensive are our accommoda- tions? Judging by advertise- ments in The Citizen, few houses or apartments in Key West are now unoccu- pied. : As for the hotels, he ex-! plained, the first rush of tourists will fill them up. Building in Key West just » hefore the war and during the war was extensive, con- sidering the size of our com- . MOnity, but it fell far short, of providing sufficient ac- commodations for a large number of tourists. | What Key West needs, the former © Cuban agent said, are more hotels ore apartment houses. He added, that he believed that the demand for ac- commodations will be such the coming winter it will provide the impetus for further construction. He based his opinion on the old economig law that demand ereatey supply. Admitting that Key West's chief asset is its cli- mate, he added that the sea runs the climate a close second in the matter of im- portance. Yet, though we are an island city, we have few agcommodations for) yachts. Sports fishing is pretty well provided for, ; but Key West has no piers to offer accommodations to! yachtsmen who may come here or wish to come here. That condition turns our! thoughts to the Garrison Right, which would be the best vaeht basin in Florida were it properly developed.
