Representative Bernie C. pulled the switch at Islamorada which put the em in operation. Papy also made an address, in which he said that the installation of the system was one of several recent forward strides that are fast bringing the the forefront. He said that the pro- gress on the Keys, he felt confident in predicting, would be more pro- nounced during the next 10 years than during all the other time the | Keys have been inhabited. “Here, on the Florida Keys,” Papy said, “are everything that is essential to a well-rounded life, not only during the winter but also throughout the remainder of | the year. The Keys, so far as wholesome pleasures are con- cerned, have better fishing than any other part of the United | States, better boating and by far better climatic conditions when | most of the nation is shivering.” | At Tavernier, County Commis-! cioner Harry Harris, who headed the residents at the installation of the dial system there, made an address about the present srowth | of the Florida Keys.
