Mr. Leach, who had come to Key West to discuss the proposed ‘park with a committee represent i ing various civic bodie: this letter that the three chief ob | jections raised by Monroe coun- ; ty officials have been eliminated states in Speaking of his trip to Key | West, Director Leach says dinner meeting we considered all the objections and I undertook to see if they could not be solved to the mutual satisfaction of your citizens and the park commission. The most serious objection was one which I thought was perfectly justi- fied, and shortly after this meet- ing it was solved. Your commis- | sioner for the keys district, who ‘also was representative of the fishing industry, called attention to the fact that t proposed | boundaries of the park took in the {riparian rights on all of the keys to Lower Matecumbe up to high | water tide mark. This was solved by moving the boundary to the Inland Waterway line all down | the keys, so that at present the ‘park boundaries do not touch any lof the keys from Largo to Key i West. “Another objection was that under federal control, there would be a great deal of uncer ‘tainty as to what fishermen | would be able to do, and-contro- | versy might result through con flict of federal and state regula tions. This also has been solved | Much of the area which is to go | into the, park has been taken over | by the Fish and Wildlife Con servation section of the Depart | ment of the Interior, for the par- pose of conserving wildlife and protecting the natural beauties {and natural resources of the area, ‘also of preventing as far as pos sible fires which break out in dry seasons in some of the high hammocks scattered through the } “At this i i Everglad This service has a jared of wardens who have beer | given the status of Florida state |#ame wardens, and the instru ltions to these officers are tha the Florida fish and game law | alone are to be enforced.
