Roaster), C. Hefty, E. C. Romfh. Miami, Fla., Jan. 15th, 1914. To The City Council, Miami, Fla. (entlemen:— I wish to call your Fttantion to the fact that the entire water front of the City Perk is now being used by boats, prineipally house boats and that they are not paying the city anything whatever for the privilege. I believe that the eity.ahould make a nominal charge for beats to tie up at this deck, and that by se doing, they could raise eziffieient money to pay some goad man a monthly salary to stew at the park and try and improve it. I notieo toe, that the people who usually tie up at this park are non residents, and I believe none of them would object to paying a reasonable fee for the privilege of ar.ehoring their boats along thin water front. Respeatfu lly submitted, Signed, J. W. Watson, Mayor. Moved by E. C. Remfh, eeeended by J. A. Conrad, thr_t conmiinicatlon be received and referred to Committeemen en Parks and Desks. Motion earried. Another es urntnic'tion was read from the Mayor in reference to the amount of work that the Consulting; Engineer would be paid en, in which he said that he was under the impression that when 100,0')O.00 worth of mark was completed, if the eity desired, they could do away with the Consulting En!;ineer's service. wqieh he would resormend, but since reading the eontract,it appeared that the En;;ineer was entitled to his esmission on the total amount of work done, and he would like to,.know exactly hew the matter stood., Moved by H. G. Ralston, mended by C. '.Filer, that semmunication be received and referred to the Committeeman en Finance far investigation. 1(ution earried. Another eommunication was read from tne.Me4y er in reference to the slain of a certain gentleman of a royalty en all the weed 'clock laid in the city, in which he claims that he had a potent ri;;ht for the mealner in which the blocks were laid and would expect his royalty from the city. A letter from the weed. bleak people was also ottaehed, denying all responsibility of paying the royalty, and placing it up to the city. These eoaununiaetions were handed to the City Attorney, and the following motion was made. '�eved by J. A. Conrad, ascended by E. C. Remfh, that communications be referred to t,le City Attorney for investigation. 'lotion serried., TO THE CITY COUNCIL, ;viand, Fla. Gentlemen: — Jan. 14, 1914. After looking over the December bills contracted by the various city departments, I am satisfied that it would be greatly to the city'K interest to have a Purchasing Agent for the city, end that every person wanting anything for the city should be required to fill out a requisition asking for the article, showing where save is to be used. Thin could be p,•enented to the Purehasing Agent, and he could see where tWhe same could to ba,,!lt at the lowest price. I think this in very important, and is about the only way you can keep a record of what the city actually buys. Respectfully Submitted, Signeel, J. W. llstson, Yayor. 459 Y t After discussing the preposition of the Mayor for same tints.and as his was net present, and Council wanted a littlo more information in regards to t`ls eoumunication, the following motion was made: Moved by C.

Co. 1}ed paid their E at valorem tax and acted in good faith, trey asked that the fine be ret{titted upon the payment of the bnek license. 'roved by E. C. Romfh, seeonded by C.
