Miami, Fla. August 22nd,1('1'?.
To the City Council,
Miami,i"la.
Gentlemen:
Dur ng the last two weeks, my attention has respectfu lly
been called to the fact tLat ' r.Fossey,City Tieelth officer, is not a resident and a
qualified elector of the City of Miami, and therefore is not qualified to hold the
position.
In 1 ooking up the charter, I fine Section 9 rases cis follows:
That all appointive officers shall be r silents and qualified electors
of the city of Misri, I applied to the city attorney *'or his opinion, which he gave,
and I herewith attach it. I wish further t state that he war appointed by the
city council, under chapter 17,section 361, which says that the food inspector,shall
be elected by tr_e sit:/ co;incil,and removed by it, etc. This portion of the ordinance
conflicting as it do-s with section 9 of the city charter, is in my opinion, null
and void. Section ,� of the charter reads as follows; " Thnt the mayor r hall -eve the
power to appoint by and with tho power of the city council, all officers of the eit,y
of Miami, who are not made elective by this charter, except the city ettorney, end
chief of fire ciepartment,who shall. be appoieteri by the city council.
Now as the city food inspector, is not el ecr.e-d, I am sure you had no ri;; t to pass
an ordinance giving council the ri,;~t to appoint eim, I regret very rotes to have to
call your attention to this ratter, especial!, since Mr. :''ossey and I disagree on
the Milk ordinance, but I want to say that I bHlieve he amps is sincere in all he
!as attempted to do. and is as much entitled tG his opinion as T a to mine.
I wish to assure him that I have not 'in ; but the kindest feelinee for him,
and if he is reoved by the council, and will qualify himself, and then file his
application for the position, I shall take pleaure in appointing hint o the place
if at that time unfilled.
Yours trhul:i,
(Signed) J.W.Watson,
Mayor.
The opinion of the city attorney as attached by Mayor Watson, to his com-
munication.
Hon. J.W.Wats n, Mayor,
Mimei,Fla .
Dear sir:
Complying with your eequ.:st th qdivise you whether in my opinion,
} the Food Inspector is n city officer, and ehou1d be n qualified e] ectorof the city,
beg to advise that section S of the charter of Miami provides that the city govern-
ment shall be carried on by certainofficers there desi,;nated, and such other o 'fi ter s
as may be created by ordinance of the city, not inc nsi stcnt hrewith, and all of said
officers shall be qualified electors of the cit;,' of Miami etc. While the phrase
" such other a?ricers es may be created by ordinances" is u fortunately c nstruc*ed
August 21st,1912.
because officers cannot Pe created by ordinance, yet its context fenders the content&
of the Legislet.ire perfectly ?air.
The second paragrap of section 9 of the charter, having to do with sewers and
titles of the Mayor, provides " Me shall have power to appoiet by and with the consent
of the city council, all officers of the city who are not made elective by this cherte
*nail except the city attorney and the Chief of the Fire Department. He c'' all e
Appointed by the city cou cil; provided, that a 1 such appointive or?icere shall be
residents and q»aliied electors of the city of Miami etc.
Section 360 of the city code, creates the o'?iee o' Food Inspector. and Section
361 provides that the officer holdng theoffiee created by the foregoing section,
shall be known as the food inspector of the city of Miami, and ehai 1 possess the
general qualificatons as prescribed by the city charter of other officers of the
city etc. "
It is my opinion therefor, thht any pe son holding the o 'flee of Food In-
spector of the city of '1:iani mu.t be a galified elector of said city.
Yours truly,
(Signed) C.L.Aillingsley, City Attorney.

To the Hon. City Council,
Miami, Fla.
Gentlemen:
August 22nd,l^12.
Regarding the beta message I sent to your honorable body end is now
being considered by you, I wish to ►supplement the same by ; tat ing that I am
more than ever convenced that my position is correct, and that the ordinance should
not pass. I want to say that since last Thursday night, I have interviewed at least
150 people concerning this ordinance, and I tell you that only two are in favor of
it. Two ex -mayors told me that I did as they wouldhave dnne, had they been mayor.
The milk buyers and consur¢ers are opposed to it , therefore I fail to see why it
should pass.
Not one case of sickness has been reported as reused from drinking milk
sold in Miami. If any sickness ,.'h tever was caused fr en drinking the milk, no one
not even the dairymen themselves, as they are all honorable men, would want to se!1
it until the cause of the sickness was removed. And under such c nditions the
price should have nothing to do with it,but in the Absence of such condition, it isa
very different proposition. In my uponion when n cow is milked at 5 o'clock A.'!.
• the milk delivered in clean bottles by 7 or FS o'c ock tee same morning, it is fresh
pure end healthy, and I see no reason for enacting an ordinance that will force the
price up, drive honest hard working men lout of businessmen who have had a life
time experience in the milk and cattle business,and are doin}*, their very beet to
rive us clean, pure niilk,and thereby make An honest support "or their families,
and all because one or two men with no milk or dairy experiienee whetever, men who
can hardly tell a Jersey cow from a wild, Florida raised steer, say it must be
done.
Gentlemen it lean eay matter "or a man to sit in his cushioned chair with
feet on his desk, cigar in his mouth and issue hie proclamation condemning the
efforts of men, to arise at 7 o'clocf,c every morning, get their cattle together,
clean and milk them, and never stop until the rnilk is de live ?ed to their city cus-
tomers, but put him in charge of the dniry one day, and I promise you that he will
change his ideas about impure milk and germs, to something on the line oe curnnon
sense.
I wish to call your attent on also to the milk ordinance that i5 now on
the books, section 362 to 369 inclusive, and to say that with one o • two amend-
ments, it will he all the milk ordinance necee ary for sometime to come.
With great respect, I are,
You tally,
(Signed) e.V .dVatson, !!ayor.
Moved by d.F.Lunimes and seconded 'y '!.<<.'.!eDonalcd that the communication of

of the ordinance. stating that council would rue the day and that it would certainly

with impure milk.
Food Inspector Fossey addressed council strongly censuring the "4ayor
and c ouncil in nut passing the ordinance over the mayor's veto. claiming that it
was a lack of progressiveness on their part. Mr. Foesey was very bitter in rlis de-
nunciation.
Councilman Con rad replied urd thanked Mr.Fossey for the compliment paid
council, and stated that he was in favor of attending to the improvement of the food
and milk conditions, but thoug' t that it should be taken up in a different way.
Councilman McDonald addressed council and strongly opposed the milk ordinance being
killed, and thought as council had failed to pass the milk ordinance, hewes Kure
hi: other ordinances along the eerie line should share the same fate.
Dr. Cope addresser) council in reference to the right of the citizens to spe
speak on these matters, stating that the ordinance was railroaded out before any
body had a chance to give their opinion. Mr. J.A.'QCDooald also conferred with Dr.
1
Cope and said thethe had sat where you councilman are setting and hehed never
seen the day when citizens were not allowed oto express their opinion on such an
important measure. The chairman explained to the gentle:en that this same or-
dinance had been up several months, and everyb,udy had an opportunity to express
their opinion,and before the ordinance was put to a vote tonight, the question
was open to discussion,and that he was always glad to he.ve the opinion of others
on any measure hefore co;incil.
