J. H. Lofland, CEC, USN, public works officer at Key West Naval Base, said to- day. As a preliminary to thé clean- ing and painting, riggers are making a careful inspection of the towers to determine if any of the steel needs replacing. Riggers are under V. T. Hoer- schel, Miami, who bid $1,350 to perform the inspection work for the Navy. The Navy had no men qualified for doing the work, so it was necessary to let a contract for it. Comdr. Lofland said that the inspection had not so far reveal- ed any of the steel in the con- struction of the towers needs re- placing. He added that several of the steel steps in the ladders of the towers would have to be renewed. The work of inspection is ex- pected to take about 10 days more. At the conclusion of that time, bids will be sought for the cleaning and painting. The towers were last cleaned and painted in 1943. The towers are used by the radio unit of the Navy.
