Kindly bring this to the attention of the council at their next meeting. Yours very truly, (Signed) J.E.Lummus, President.' A receipted bill amounting to $60.27 for each item accompanied the above communication. Councilman Lumrius explained that the above bill wns contracted at the suggestion of the Mayor,and himself, and the 'circumstances that a poor woman with one only possession,a young haby,had been deserted.by her husband,and was sranded in the city,and she said if she could get back to St..Louis, her home,she would be taken care of,and that he and the Mayor thought it was a worthy cause,and advanced the money in behalf of the city. Moved by E.C.Romfh and aeconderi »y E.F.Holmes that the action of the Mayor and Committeeman on Finanace be approved,and bill paid. Motion carried. The following communication was read from the Mayor: To the City Council, Miami,Pla. Dec.5,1912. Miami,Fla. Gentlemen: I beg herewith to inform you that upon the request of the Police Com- missioner,and the Chief of Police, I have appointed upon the City Police Force, Mr. J D. Blocker,and Mr. H.Lee. You will remember that about three months ago, three men were "laid off",ae their services were not n--cessary at that time, but as the winter season is now upon us,and our population for the next five months will be largely increased, I any satisfied these men are needed and therefore made the appontments, and I ask your approval of the same. Yours truly, (Signed) i.W.Watson, Mayor. Moved by J.A.Conrad and seconded by R.O.Watson,that communication be receiv- ed and the appointments confirmed. Motion carried. Miami,Fla. Dec.5,1912. To the City Council, Miami,Fla. Gentlemen: It is with pleasure that I note your determination to cut down all unneeese.ary expenses and put the city upon an economical basis. I am sure the change made in paying the Sanitary Inspector, will cave $2000.00 per annum. The consolidat- ing the offices of building inspector and Plumbing Inspector and requiring one person to do the work of both will save $1500.00 per ann m. Along this line I would recommend that the salary of the City Attorney be fixed not to a:,teed $50.00 per month, and the City Auditor's salary be fixed at the same, under no circumstances do I wish these gentlemen to work for less than a proper salary, commensurate with the work done, but in this instance I amdatisfied $50.00 per month is sufficient. I would recommend further that you thoroughly investigate the cost and method of f eeding the city prisoners, with a view of saving some t1500 per annum from this source. I would further recommend that you instruct,by ordinance, or otherwise, the City Physician to visit and inspect all dairies selling milk in Miami, not less than once every thirty days,and that he inspect the milk, from the wagons in the city as often as he thinks proper. This would take very little of his time. Yours truly, (Signed) J.W.Watsdn,Mayor. Moved by J.E.Lummus and seconded by C•Hefty that the communication of the Mayor be received, and no action taken at the present time. Motion carried. Miami,Fla. Dec.5,1912. To the City Council, M1aitii,Fla . gentlemen: I beg to inform you tht en agreement has been made between Mr. Chas. Dorothy, City Sanitary Inspector, Mr. E.C.Romfh, Sanitary Commissioners and myself, whereby Mr.Dorothy agrees to continue as Sanitary Inspector for the month of December for a salary of $100.00, we also agreed to allow .$2.00 per day for his horse and he feed him, only for the mono: of December. All collections to tyre made by him as usual, and turned over to the City, all of which I ask your aproval. Yours truly, (Signed) J.W.Watson,'.4ayor. Moved by J.A.Conrad and seconded by E.C.Romfh that their communication be received and the Mayor8s action approved. Motion carried. Dec.5,1912- To the Honorable City Council, Miai'.i,Fla. Gentlemen: We understand tht your contract for the official printing for the ensuing year has expired,and take this method of asking that you name the Miami Daily Metrop- olis as the newapa er in which all your official printing shall be done for the present fiscal year. Our charges for this printing will be the same as you have been paying, viz: the regular legal rate of 1,1.00 an inch. When this contractwas placed one year ago, it was the sense of the members of the Board to alternate the printing, that is to Jive it to one paper end year and the other paper the next. If you see fit to give the Metropolis the printing t:is year, we will en. deavor to give you the very best service at all times. Very truly yours, (Signed) The Mia, i Printing- Co.

Gentlemen: Miami,Fla.Dec.5,1912. We the undersigned, citizens of Miami,F1H.do petition and urge upon you the immediate necessity of draining a large pond on Avenue G and 19th St. said pond we most emphatically declare to be a public nuisance, menacing the health and Ives of morsel? and family.

Motion carried. A co mmunication was read from Dr. North in reference to e mill which had been presented and accepted by council, for the keep of one Alex Thompson,at the Poor Farm by the Board of County Commissionera,amounting to t426.00 Dr North stated that this was a white man ,and was never at any time a city patient. He was placed in the present city hospital before it become the city hospital ,by Dr. Jaudon, a County physician, and while he remained there, he yam alwayd under Pr. Jaudons care,. Thompa left the city hospital on October 10,1911, nearly six months b fore he as received b at the poor farm, and during a period of that time I am told, worked et the Arcade Hb Hotel. At any rate, the city had nothing to do with sending him to the Poor Farm, and i as City Physician, did not even know of his being there. Mr.Romfh,said after investigating this bill,he had found that this Alex. Thompson was a white man,and as the City was Mulder no contract with the county for it to take care of the white patients, he thought that the city was not responsible for the bill. Councilman Lummus said that when he made the motion that hill be accept ed, he was under the impression that Thompson was a negro and was sent to the Poor Farm under Dr. North's o ders. And made the followingmotion: Moved by J.E.Lummus and seconded by C.Hefty that the motion vade in meet- ing of council,November 7,1912, accepting bill of Councy Commi sioners for $426.00 fn for keep of one Alex Thompson,be rescinded.

E.F.Holmes addressed council inreference to his department,and stated that two fire horses were about all in,and were practically unfit for service. Arid wanted council if possible, to procure a motor truck,as they would either have to do this or purchase another pair of horses,and said that Chief Chase had a propositin that he would like for council to consider. Chief Chase addressed Council along the same lines,and suggested to count cil to sell the two horses,and apply the proceeds towards getting a truck,and that he would guarantee that if he was allowed to purchase a touring car in the city,of the same make,and horse power,as the present truck we have, that he could fixup a practically new truck at a cost to the cit;/ of about 11000.00 Council an Holmes str„ngly backed up Chief Chase,and urged upon council that if funds could be procured,to accept the Chief's proposition,after discussing it for some time, the following motion wasmade. Moved by R.O.Watson and seconded by J.F.Lummus that the Committeeman on Fir Fire Protection be authorized and empowered to purchase the truck as recommended by the Chief,provided the cost of machine is not over1000.0O,a )fthat theaoows c.rier o Motion to notified that he will not be paid for perhaps months, for Miami,Fle.
