Many Advances Have Been Made In Lower Keys Growth And Activity Of Association Told By ADELINE RUSSELL Secretary, Lower Keys Property Owners Association Do you know what is happening on the Keys? Are you in step with the progress of this county? If you are interested in the de- velopment of your land, you will be pleased to receive this brief report. In 1951, a group of property own- ers from the Florida Keys met to) discuss an alarming item concern- ing a bill which was to be intro- duced in Congress. This bill, HR 2897, was a proposal for the estab- lishment. of. a wildlife reserve to protect the key deer, The reserve would cover most of the lower Ha methods used esc the Cape Sable| lands which were incorporated in- | to the Everglades National Park boundaries, land owners were wary | of any proposition dealing in leases, land titles or condemnation pro- cesses. The Lower Keys Property Own- ers Association was formed not to fight the protection of the key deer, but to protest the acquisition of pri- vate property by condemnation. | The association sought the aid | and advice of our State Represen- tative Bernie C. Papy, who was aware of what could happen if this bill were passed without protest. Congressman Bill Lantaff, who sponsored this bill, was invited to discuss it at the County Courthouse | in Key West. A special meeting was held on June 15, 1951, the fin- al outcome resulting in an amend- ment to the bill allowing land to be obtained by lease only. Said; leases could be cancelled on 30 days notice. It was also specified at the time that the territory re- quested was greatly in excess of | what was required for fifteen deer.

There was no electric power line in this portion of the keys. City water was not available to resi- dents. The few roads were like wa- gon trails, much of the property was inaccessible. There was no po- lice protection, no mosquito con- trol.
