Dear 8ir: I am enolosing herewith a bill amounting to 04080, representing thooest et, repairing an automobile belonging to the South Fonda Investment 00mpamy whioh was damaged at 12th Street bridge some little time .404 The oauss of the accident was due to negligsnos in not having proper lights show in g that repairs were being made on the bridge; in fact there was no lights at all,. , and one of the loose planks had been roughly laid at the entrinoe to the bridge' °nosing the aooident by flying up and wedging in the steering knuckle thee **leg the machine swerve into the railing so that the driver had no central of the machine after the plank had wedged. The bill,is a very small one, and I think in akk fairness the oity eounoil should • have the same investigatedand when found that these statements are oorreot, should pay the same. kindly bring this to the attention of the proper authorities and oblige., . Councilman Conrad stated that the bridge tender was present and would like council to hear his statement, whereupon Mr. Moore, bridge tender, made the following statement "The auto (trashed into the fender of tie bridge on the 13th of August, about 8 P.M. I was on the draw myself. As it happened, just at that moment there was no one passing,- "4-Tmmm I was alone and the gentleman in the oar was alone. When the oraeh came I ran over but as the auto stopped he jumped and was on the side walk. The city had been putting in concrete at both ends of the bridge and had to have oonorete over it until the concrete and / 11 remember, this question was broutt up set. There is a very bright else rio lift over eaoh end of the bridge. I remember that sometime ago , A and it was deoidod that extra strong lights be plumed at each end of the bri e, and this was done, making it so light there was no additional light required to get the oar out on the bridge; we recognized everyone. The only lanterns were the two red ones we had to handle traffic over the bridge, one side of it being blooked by the auto and I stood at one end and my sone at the other, each with a red light and would signal , , . e ',. '--- ' to one another when traffic should pass from either end of the bridge. The lights on • • the draw were burning brightly. I had no instructions about placing lights 7here the oonorete was laid as no pne considered it necessary, the lights overhead Showing the plank clearly,- I had no lights furnished for that purpose as there was no ,.;ause for it. • To prove this, Captain-Greenlas of the yacht Haus" is here. This plank in particular was fastened securely with spikes into the asphalt pavement, so much so that I had to • , have assistant)e to get the plank up. The speed limit was exeseted, I would say with a clear consoienoe that oar was not running less than fifteen miles per hour, if not more. Another man saw it, Mr. Harry Jordan, and he is here. , : The city attorney explained tocouncil that the oharter provided for thaprOper handling of all claims against the oity and that council oould proceed with the regular order , of business and this matter receive due consideration when it bad been presented . . through the proper channel, whereupon the following motion was made. . , • ' Moved by C.

The following petition was read by the clerk: "We, the urdersigned oitizens of the city of Uiami, do seriously object to the city garb- age wagons passing by our residences without being covered, because the odor of the • garbage is very offensive and is also very unsanitary.
