Sanitary Committeeman Ralston reported that the cleaning 40 of the .vaitria uS lots• sand
paresis of land within the pity was progressing, but that ooMplaint bad been made bar,
numerous property holders that the streets were in bad Shape end requested thatthey
be cleaned also; and stated that if the Street Department eras willing, the Sanitary_
Department faros would olean suoh streets of the rubbish, undergrowt , •te.
Moved by O. Hefty, seconded by J. A. McDonald that the Sanitary Department bi'auth
to Olean the streets of rubbish, undergrowth, weeds, etc. Motion Carried.
Tirem0ommitteeman 0. Hefty reported that his attention had, been called to the manner
of construction of the various moving pioture theatres; that he wanted to request
that the seats be allowed to remain in the Grand Theatre as plaoed and that other
changes would be made to•offset the seating arrangements therein, the seats being
closer together than provided for by. ordinanoe.
Councilman Ralston stated that the ordinance provided that the seats should be 33..inoher
apaart and this should be enforoed or the ordinance repealed., and made the following .
motions
Moved by H. G. Ralston, seoonded by C. F. Filer, that the ohair appoint & ooaamittee
of three oonsisting of C. Hefty, J. A. McDonald and E. C. Romfh to investiggate
condition of the moving picture shows and report their reoomaendttions hack to oounoil.
(Mr. Ralston later withdrew this moti*n)
Chairman Erfert advised that he bad heard the Fire Chief make the statement that he,
the fire chief, bad notified the owners of the theatres that they w::uld have to oomply
with the ordinanoe. Chief Chase was present and confirmed this.
Councilman Ralston stated that if the theatre owners had gone ahead with vonstruotion
work after the ordinanoe was passed, the ordinance having been based u oa reports of a
committee after through investigation and upon a 'Model Ordinance', it was up to
suoh owners to comply with such ordinanos.
The Manager of the Grand Theater addressed ounoil, stating the balcony of the theatre
had been re -arranged, and opera chairs substituted for the old benches; that on his
return to Miami after a long absence, the foreman in charge of the work had informed
him that Chief Chase had told the foreman that the work was all wrong, this information;
ooming from the Chief after the work had been done. That the theatre is provided with
eight exits, that they were arranging for another aisle so as to have a passageway
to eaoh exit and had provided a fire escape and would put in another as the one in
plane did not seem to satisfy the Fire Chief; that the floor of the theatre is of oonorete,
and aside from losing a great deal of spade by moving the seats back so as to be
32 inches apart instead of 39-1/2 inobes as at present, it would be a very heavy expense
on the theatre; that no ohanges had been made in the theatre as originally oonstruoted,
except the balcony, and that he thought the ordinance should apply in reepeot to
seats only to those theatres erected after pi ssage of the ordinanoe; that. he. had
eonstruoted an asbestos lined machine room, secured two new fire proof machines,
the macbire room doorgs were automatic, aagid there was no danger whatever of fire;
that they had drilled their employes thoroughly as to their notion in oaee o f fire;
that they expected to remodel the theatre again and would comply in every way with
the law.
Mr. Ra.:ston asked if the Theatre had bean remodeled within eight months (sine the
passage of the ordinanoe)
bha manager of the Grand replied that they had not exoept to replaoe the benohes with
airs; that they were not satisfied with the present seating* arrangements and would
change them, but asked that the seats be allowed to remain the same distance apart
as to chaan a them in this reepeot would mean an enormous expense, a floor of wood,
much more liable to fire , the present floor being of oonorete with strips laid therein
and the seats fastened to these wooden strips.
Chairman Erfert explained that holes oould be drilled in the concrete, the holes filled
with lead and the seats secured thereto.
The Manager stated the theatre was as it had been for several years exospt the balcony had
been changed.
Councilman McDonald stated that in his opinion the first element to oonsider was the
matter of protection against fire, as the seats were a souros of danger at any distanoe
apart in vase of fire.

Councilman Hefty stated that he bad made a thorough inspection of the theatre and it
appeared to be thoroughly fire proof and he thought the ordinance Should be amended, it
appearing to him to be an unnecessary expense to ask the owners to ohangs the seating
arrangements
Cou;zp3.1aan Ralston stated that if such suggestions were carried out it would mean that
the council would have to pass individually on each theatre and he did not consider
_the QoUtoil Competent to do s0.
cted by C. Hefty and seconded by 0. F. Filer that the Ohairanan appoint a committee of

J, t Watson' •
$[ayor city of Miami.
Before chairman called for a vote upon the above resolution, City Attorney Roes stated
that in the absence of the finanoe oommitteemanO he desired to make report on the pass,
stating that he and Mr. Romfh had made a very careful investigation of the claim and
considered the city fortunate in being able to settle for so small `a sum' that 3Crs.
Warner was a very old lady, had -fallen upon the street as result of a defective sidewal.> ,
sustaining a broken arm and that she and her attorneyrr'had agreed to compromise for
$150.00, and in view of the oiroumstanoas the settlement was a very fortunate one for
the city. ,
Whereupon, the chairman requested a vote upon the resolution and upon Atoll call
all present voted yes.
Councilman Conrad stated that be had all papers covering puxohass o4 the road roller

¥ayor Watson stated that on his reoenttrip to Washington, inAAO roiliest of 4se$+ rate,
for Miami, be met with miaohT enoouragement and delivered the fa ring address to ooenek`
As soon as the courts decided that the F. E. C. Ry., would not have to dig the ddu *
across the Bay, I took the matter up with Senator Aryan to sea if we, mould not get,;
PO o this projeai
etting he iitorlatiOn I dould and then reoeiv
data at once as it might be polleible thebill w
... F..sl*seats. 1 happened to be In the Bret National thank t o zT o' a�:ook
afternoon end mentioned the matter . to Mr. Routh and he in►eisted tbat I should tltk,
the data in person to Waobington,'so I got ready and left at siz *Iola*with all the
information I had. When I reached Washington I ha4 a long talk with Senator Bryan,
Senator lletoher was out of the oity but on his return I talked to him and he
Donator Pletcher, seemed to be •xtriael d btfu'l", in foot thought It out of the
question to emend the bill to appropriate '100,009.00i but Senator Bryan thought it
could be amended and I think he will undertake to amend the bi11; but under present
conditions with national finances so law, the sentiment is that nothing be appropriated
that is not absolute!y neosssary and i n my jungment, when the bill is considered they
will take out at least one half the appropriations rather than add anything; howe►er,
we are going to try if the bill is reached. I also talked with Several senators and
000nnggressmen, also the Chairman of the Rivers and Harbor Committee of the Homes. I
explained to them that the oitisens s Miami were deprived of this canal beaallss of
the delay on the part of the government and I thought it nothing but right and nsf�,
that the goverment should putup the money to dig this channel, for If the gayer+
had oarrisd out their part of the aag�reement•the railroad oonpany Mould have done!
wise. So under these conditions, Senator Fletcher, whoa I•am sure will be Chairman
of the Commeros Committee and Mr. Sparkman, who is Chairman of the Rivers and Harbor
Committee of the House, expressed themselves as sure that this tea could be put in
the bill and I' think the chances for getting them to do that ass very good. While
in Washington I also visited the liar Department to see what oould be done in the way
of .getting the work started under the Bill that was passed in July 1912. I talked
with Senator Bryan and we made an appointment with General Xingman,witli whom I had a
long oonferenoe, and am glad to say that he is very much in favor of Miami The.
General says that we are entitled to a port en the east coast and that Miami is the
logical point and he hopes to see thirty feet of water in the Bay. I explained to him
that we had purchased property for the dooke; that our bond election had passed almost
unanimously and the bonds had been validated by the courts, been approved by a firs
of New York lawyers and that we had employed the Isham Randolph Company, a firm of
engineers widely known, to prepare plans for the dooks, that we had shows out good faith
in every way and thought it time some favorable aotion toward us was taken. General'
Kingman agreed with me and made another appointment for the next morning and turned the
matter over to Major Kelly, to whom I gave full information about what we had
s000smlished and he wanted to see plane of the docks we proposed to build. I wired Mr.
Randolph, who sent me two sets of plans, and I left one with Major Kelly, upon his •
request. Major Kelly then made ern appointment with me for three days later to have
his attorney pass upon the papers which I was to present him, and I wired our City
Attorney to have the court wire me full information about the bold validation
prooedings, and I gave this information to the attorney who was satisfied that it was
all right, yet he feared that the Secretary of War would want to see it in the shape
of an affidavit in plane of a telegram, and I then wired and secured the affidavit from,
the clerk of our oirouit court and was informal that these papers were all right,
the attorney stating to me that he would present the same to the Secretary of War for
his approval. I asked him when this would be done and he informed me that it would
require several days, so I returned home. On my way to Washington, I stopped one day
in Jacksonville and had a talk with Major Ladue and he seemed to think the Secretary
would exact a bond from us to comply with the act, as had been done in the case of
Tampa and St Petersburg, and I told him if that was so we could furnish it. In talking
with Major Kelly and the attorney, in Washington, I told them what we had dons,- that
we were not in the same boat with Tampa - tbat we had the money and it oould not be
spent for anyother purpose; that we had purchased the land and were having plans prepared
by a well known firm of engineers, and succeeded in getting the attorney to say that
he would waive the bond in our case. I think there is no question about the government
doing the work if we take the necessary and proper aotion.
Moved by J. A. Conran, seconded by H. G. Ralston, that the address of the mayor be
reoieved, copied into the minutes and that he be extended a vote of thanks for hie
interest on behalf of the city. Motion carried unanimously.
Counoilman H. G. Ralston moved that the bide for the street paving be opened and motion
being seconded by Counoilman C. F. Filer, was duly oarried.
Whereupon, the clerk opened the bids of F. G. Proudfoot and the Southern Asphalt and
Construction Co., and Counoilman J. A. Conrad moved that the same be referred to the
Engineer for tabulation, oomparison with former bids and submitted to oounoil at its
next meeting. This motion having been duly seconded by H. G. Ralston and oarrisd
unanimously, the olerk turned the bids over to Engineer Ilya,.
.Councilman C. F. Filer introduced the following resolution:
