OFFICIALS EXPECT FERRY TO STA: ri Page 6 THE KEY WEST CIT! * IZEN Monday, March 10, 1952 Ferry Will Not Carry Any Cargo City Manager Dave King reports a satisfactory un- derstanding between officials and civic leaders and the representatives of the Cuban banking organi- zatior concerning the pro- posed Havana-Key West ferry, was reached in con- ferences held Friday and Saturdav in Havana. Officials attending the conferences anticipate that the operation of a ferry bo- teen-= th--— two cities will begin in the near future. Fred ion viee resident of the Culf Atlantic Trensnortation Comrany, who attended the lenethy nferences. said this morning. .“The negotiations _on this mereh#nt-passenger service pre vrogressing verv satisfaetori- ly. I am very enthusiastic and have everv hone that arrange- ments will be consummated, though naturally there is still an element of uncertainty.” Said City Commissinner Delio Cobo, when interviewed by The Citizen this tnorning, “It looks favorable to me, because the Cv- ban reople are taking the ini- tiative. That's the best feature of. all, because they have an inside knowledg® of labor conditions.” Justo Carrillo, president of Bancy Formento Agricola and Industrial de Cuba, invited the Monroe. County Commissioners, Key West City Commissioners, Chamber of Commerce represen- tatives and local civic leaders to confer with members of the Cu- ban organization in Havana. Twenty local officials and businessmen and their wives made the trip to Havana for the conferences. The ferry, which will be oper- ated by a Cuban company and will fly the Cuban flag, will transport passengers and auto- mobiles between the two coun- tries. It will not carry any cargo, reports City Manager King. The Cuban group is consider- ing three propositions to obtain a ferry for the proposed service. ‘The Caribe Queen, owned by the Gulf Atlantic Transportation Company is still being consider- ed; and the company is contem- plating building a boat that will adequately meet the marine re- quirements for this area, The third proposition, reports King, is the offering of a boat to the company, by a group, who do not, as yet, want their names made public. “It is anticipated,” says King, “that the owners of the vessel to be offered will be ‘th Havana on March 20 to confer with the bank officials. It is necessary that marine engineers approve the vessel and if approval is given ‘a conference will be held in Key West by all interested parties on March 28.” A local docking place for the 701 Whitehead WeC of all S and Batteries. local | a Complete line CLAIR Products ...Also Goodyear Tires 75 BEAUTIFUL GIFTS TO BE AWARDED, INCLUD.
