Dear Sir:
"Miami, Fla. August 14, 1914.
Some months have elapsed since the question of the passage of the ordinanoe
in reference to the Buena Vista yards was first raised, and nothing has been done as
yet. The writer has had a talk with Mr. Riddle, General Manager of the Florida East
Coast Railway Company, and he has requested us to define his position to the oity
council in order that some definite action may be taken on the ordinance, whioh is
now with the city olerk.
Mr. Riddle says that, when the question of removing the yards to Homestead
was raised, he, on behalf of the railroad company, accepted the proposition of your
honorable body to retain the yards at Buena Vista and give the city Eleventh Street in
consideration of the passage of an ordinanoe agreeing not to open any streets within
the defined territory; that this proposition was made by the city and accepted by
him, and since that agreement was reaohed new questions have been injected which were .
not considered at the meeting; Alat he expects the oity to carry out this agreement to
pass an ordinanoe embodying the points agreed upon. That he will not oonsider no*
make a part of the consideration for this ordinance, any additional streets; that he
expects the oity council of Miami to adhere to its promise, and that he will meet it in
a spirit of fairness on all future questions.
Yours very truly,

The following undated oommunioation was read by the olerk:
'To the Honorable City Council of Miami, Fla.
Gentlemen:
I want to call your attention to the value of our limestone. It is universally
known that limeis one of the best disenfeotents, it arrests animal and vegetable
putrefaction and destroys pestilential and infectious miasma, purifies the soil and
atmosphers,so that it is used largely in hospitals, asylwas, jails, water closets,
sewers, docks, etc. and of untold value to a city that can have its streets made of that
which is so much oonposed of lime as the Dads 0o. limestone is. This may be why
infectious and extremely dangerous diseases that has devastated lar or cities has been
so li ht and of suoh little injury to the people of Miami. We know here oan not be
anyth healthier, purer, cleaner or oheaper than the. Dade Co limestone streets and
so east y repaired. Contractors for other material will seek to supplant it but we can
not afford to be deceived for their benefit. It is sure that when the sun has drawn
out of those blocks all the tar, they will begin to warp, get rough and decay and become
saturated with the natural filth of a street. They will oreats an unhealthy condition,
especially in the tar south, and court diseases, while the limestone prevents all this.
I feel it the duty of council to protect us against sohemss and consider the health of
Miami. above all else, and allow nothing in the resednetial section but Dade 00. lime
stone streets, and put a man on the job who knows how to use it. This is the cheapest,
best and easiest used material has been abused. Tor two years vary few it any streets
has been made smooth, whioh in former days was always smoothely done and in repairing
of late old blasted, worthless dry lumps, some as big as my fist, just thrown into
holes by shovel fulls, without any water or tamping, all done in the most sloven and worth
lees manner possible, really more hurt than good. I have seen persons thrown from
their wheels by these rooks, was thrown ono* Myself by a street rook, severely bruised
and flesh torn from my limb. Yet I am in favor of Dade Co rooked streets if properly
done and I know this is possible for I have seen it done from the first. properly done
with fresh blasted rook, either with a scarifier and roller or tamp as condition;
require, with plenty of water and a man to oversee it who will be held responsible for
the good condition of the struts and we will have the prettiest, most attractive
and most eatisfaotory street in the world. The petitions for other material all gotten
up by dealers in other material. I just received a petition fro• the Manley -Stearns
oonstruotion Co. whioh they are induoing people to sign under a soars that oounoil
will use some other poor material unless we property holders sign their petition. I
trust oounoil,will protect us against these schemes and if anything ban been done to
favor suoh that it will be reoonsictered and we delivered from suoh.
Respectfully,

Councilman J. A. Conrad addressed oounoil, stating that he was in favor of taking Upth�r
ordinance regarding the F. E. C. Ry. yards, and eliminate the opening Of llth Street
and take up with the Railway Company later on the Satter of'street desired to be oPsned
Woes the traoks; and moved that the ordinance be given first reading, elielnatixtg 411
reference to street crossings and take that up later.
1. C. Romfh stated that it there was a move on to eliminate llth Street he was.opposed
ko *he ordinance. That it was agreed everyone would like to see a subway at loth Strlft
and that the matter of the Railroad paying more toward construction of an, tutors '
subways should have oansideration.That while everyone appreciated the iaportates Of'
having the railroad shops.and ygds, the pay rolls amounting to a large sun,.yet hewould
vote against the ordinanoe if llth Street was not included.
City Attorney Rose called attention to a parmgraph in the ordinance wherein it is
provided that the Railway should have the unrestricted use of llth Street for Railroad
purposes in oase that street it opened; also to the matter of the city standing the
entire expense of street crossings as provided tar the ordinance.
Attorney W. P. Smith, representing the Railway Company stated that be would take up
with General Manager of the F. E. C. by wire, the questions raised and be prepared on
Monday night to inform oounoil of the decision reached.
Councilman Ralston stated that oounoil agreed to pass an ordinance that was satisfactory,
as is shown by the minutes, and that the ordinance as presented is not satisfactory;
that he had been anxious to see a great many streets opened in return for the grant
by the city around Buena Vista and that when the ordinance closes up the city should
insist that 8th Street be opened in addition to 10th and llth. I n my opinion, should we
not at.this time secure for the city the necessary crossings we simply invite numerous
expensive law suits to secure the necessary rights for the oity in future.
Councilman Conrad again addressed oounoil stating that when the ordinanoe was first
discussed a committee was appointed, of which he was a member, and the committee
report recommended the opening of First, Waddell, 4th and 8th Streets, but didn't
believe, in making his motion to night, it was necessary to inol4de that in the ordinanoe;
that:he thought the oity could ask for that later and his belief was that it would be
granted.
Councilman Romfh stated that he would like to see Sth or llth Street inoluded in the
ordinance; that an old ordinance had been passed that in consideration of closing Ave B
Sth Street would be opened, which has never been done.
Moved by H. G. Ralstonrand seoonded byre. F. Filer that council adjourn until.? 30 P.K.
Monday, August 24th, 1914. Motion carried.
