The following communication presented the :ouncil by the Mayor. New York, September 14t!- , 1906. Honorable Mayor, Miami Fla. A Dear Sir; - We have just been advised that the Empire Trust Company of this City -as returned to the City of Miami 170,000.00 Bonds, being a part of an issue of t1C0,000.00 wh1c' we, acting under authority of an odder of the !ward of Public Works of your City an April 5th, 1907, delivered to the said !rust Company to be held by it subject to the order of the Board of Public Work:, of your City. The said $100,000.00 of bonds we understand war. to ;e delivered from time to time to Edmund Seyrsore and Company of this City, which firr! -ad a contract with the Fort Dallas National Bank of your City for the purchase of said Bonds. We learn however Vat only 170,000.00 of the bonds were delivered to `Eeerrs. Seymore, and toe balance, as abure, were finally returned to yuur City. All or the above mentioned bonds bear our certificate of venulneress ac of . March 27tt, 1907, at which time the officers signing the bonds were all in office and ve bonds were therefore good delivery: Now however,we understand that certain of said officers have been replaced ry others, and the bonds ere therefore now nut good delivery, es the officers now in office are nut those ex- ecuting the bond:; hence, s-ould yuu Nish to deliver tr.e bonds et ttie time, pru per procoedings should be taker and new bonds prepared beering the names of of- ficers in office et tht time said bonds are delivered to purchaser.. All of toe above borers bear a statement the legality has been approved by J.l.Caldwell of t'is City, wnos opinion bnd legal papers are filed with this Company for the inspection or the ^older. At the time te bunde were preps:•ed it w s understood t-at tra Me ga. . ey- more would purchase t^.e bonds fend h ve them sppru ed by "."r.Caldwell, who, as the Attorney, could only approve euot bonds as were delivered; his opinion would therefore only apply to toe t70,000.00 taken up by the purc attar, and does not apply to the 170,000.00 now in the hands of the City: ':herefore,rhoul!1 the City be able to find a purchaser woos Attorney would be willing to accept bonds bear.. ing the ateteoent with regard to Mr.Caldwells opinion, and this statement should in such case be in some manner cancelled. We believe Vat in any case it would be Getter for t - City to have new bonds prepared and have the :i ned oy tope officers now in office, rather than to issue is old bonds, and therefore have the question raised as to toe legali) of its outstanding obligations because of the irre!rzler mode of their issue. If there is any part of toe fore, oing letter which we oboe not made quite clear, we would he glad to correspond with you further in :.ef;ard thereto. Awaiting your advices, I ar, very sincerely yuetre, Park '"errell, aneger F:)nd Department. . Moved by J.E.LUMM)S and seconded by J.B.REILLY that the above coat.unicatiun be filed; "Motion carried".
