"aa ‘* Road to the Mainland wid deca: ted by Key Westers for many years before we got a road in 1925 that went as far as Saddle Bunches at this end and Key Largo at the other end. The Inland Waterway be- tween Miami and Key West has been recommended so long it is difficult to de- termine when it was first proposed:; Now news has reached Key West from Miami that the Dade county ” iqners have joined with Key Westerns ta have’ the cee way deepened. cases The - i about 4 waterway is that,it was deepened many years ago from Miami to Bahia Honda and stopped there. Thé’Citizen Has ‘asked many a time why Rahia Honda, instead: of Key West, was made the terminus. One of the questions asked, Was the object of the Army engineers to connect Miami by an in- land waterway with the mangrove growths at Bahia Honda? Why stop at Bahia Honda? Why be- gin the project and then leave it little more than three-quarters completed, with the terminus at an uninhabited Key? Why not, deepen the waterway the remaining 40 ship, fy wi Fale” tive’s a best seller. dame Subseribe To The Citizen, a eity and a eounty seat? We often wonder about the govern- ment’s way of doing things, but“we have not known of another project that was as ridiculous as deepening an inland water- way from Miami to Bahia Honda and not completing the remaining 40 miles to what anybody should have seen was its logical terminus. + The late President Roosevelt must have viewed the project similarly, for six years ago he recommended the appropria- tion of $1,800,000 to complete t he inland route from Bahia Honda to Key West. However, congress has not yet acted favorably on the recommendation, as a re- sult of which the waterway is still incom- plete. Let us hope that, after waiting a long time, the inland water route between Key West and Miami will be completed. y to the sel iut'the next a iuard to be Ht, 1949, be Tae Lots pla Book 2, page ords of Monroe 4 MONRE IN CHANCERY, | ‘eto ap- 1 of Compmint ieped ance ke aveeks news- Advertising in The Citizen must be a good thing or there wouldn’t be so many repeating adverticers.j vary HEARD ABOUT MACHU PICCHU?
