Henderson administered the oath of offioe, REQUEST OF J. H. TATUM TO CONDUCT AUCTION SALE OF THE WHALER JEWELRY STOCK City Council, Miami, Florida. Fentlemen: December 6, 1915 I had secured an auctioneer from Buffalo, N. Y. who was to leave there this afternoon and conduct an auotion ea13 for me of the H. T. Whaler jewelry store, which I have purchased. 0n applying for a lioense,your.oity clerk did not knqw e-actly how to construe the license tax when it says $25 for the first and each suooeeding day. Will you giverme your construction on the matter so that I may stop it or prooeed. Of course ! oan not afford to pa, 425 per diem. Would thank you to kindly render your decision this evening. Very truly yours, J. H. Tatum." The city attorney read the clause in the lioense ordinance relating to auotion sales and requiring a license of 25. per day. Mr. E. 3. Douglas aed reseed council, stating he would like to see the orainanoe stand as passed; that auction sales are.a detriment to the city and if an exception is made for ;dr. Tatum, who is a good citizen, every fly-by-night will demand the same oonsiderat'i end thought council should make no change in the license chanrge. Moved by F. H. Wharton, seconded by H. G. Raale:on, that the communication be received end file.i and tne clerk instructed to is-,ue lioenee at a25 per day as provided en the ordinance. Motion carried. BRIDGES OVER HE M1A1I RIVER AT TWELFTH STREET AND AVENUE D AND AVENUE G The City Council, ;Miami, Florida. Gentlemen: 1 desire to ogle your attention to a provision in tne permit granted by the U. S. War Department for the construction of the propoaed bridges over the Miami River stating that the permit shall cease and be null ana void unless 'construction of the bridges be com.,,enced within six months and be completed within eighteen months .from the date of the permit which permit is dates August 31, 1915. Work must therefore be commenced on both the l2th Street bridge and t. a A,nueD bridge on or before February 28, 1916 and both structures must be completed on or before Feoruary 26, 1917. Work of this character and magnitude should be advertised for about 30 days in or.l.,r to get proper competition ana the contractor should be given 30 days after the ewerdin3 of the contract to commence work. Suoh a schedule would mean that council should authorize the advertiaeeent for bide to start on January 1, 1916; bids to be rroelv:,_ about the flr.t of Feoruary. I should therefore appreciate an expreaa.ion from the council when you desire t receive bids on t„is kofe. i .40ui3 furtner request tbet you advise me whetner you aeaire provision to be ;,,dads for carryin& traffic over both of these bridges during tee period of construction or whetner one crossing at a time can be closes to traffic entirely. Very respectfully, V. J. Kaokley." ";Miami, Florida, Dec. 4, 1915 ;/r. Ralston: I think it is imp rtant to ask the .Mayor for a report of the committee whecn appemre.i oefore the county comniseionera on the bridge bond matter ..,a,yor Hend reon: The cn:.,mieaioners gave us to understand teat they would oall a bond eleotion as soon as possible and I understood they would include 465,000 for the bridges instead of : 50,000, tee ' 15,000 to apply on Avenue G. I asked them to oall the election as quiceiy as possible but do not know what action tney have taken. Mr. Hoefn: We don't want to sell any of tne city's bonds that we don't have to, as they are not eubject to prior reuem:-.i on and we don't want to be paying interest on money that we do not need. 'Ge have taken up the sale of the $45o,000 for harbor improvements end sanitary sewers and 1 have devotee all my time to that, trying to get them before tne bond houses and 1 ]gadn't thouent very much about the bridge bonds until the county has called its election. Tnere is also a clause that the Street Ry is to pay one fourth the coat of bridges and we should aeoertain how they propose to pay their share. 1 feel tnet we shou.a wait until the commissioners oall the oounty election and we find out from tne street railway as to their proportion, get our deep water matter closed up by sellir._ those bonde, le -.in;; the contracts for the work and waking the surety bond required by the government and then when we make delivery of the bonds on January 3rd we can t.:xe up the matter of the bridge bonds. The bonds for this purpose voted by tne people are merely not to exceed *150,000 anti we can issue just what we need. I think we should urge tne oomniseioners, thf possible, to call the county bond election. Mr. '.ignleyuan: to one is more anxious to see those bridges than myself but I think that would be q. bad time of the year to start the work and I make the motion that er. KaAiey take the matter up, explain the position we are in in regard to our tourist aea.son and Rakes tne War Department that an extension of time be given, say sixty or nine days. :a;r. Ralston: Suppose tee work was let to start March 1, would traffic be interfered,with to any extent for the first sixty days? er. Kackley: It would not. Chaair;aan Hefty: Could we advertise for bids and go as far as we possibly can ,,_,,,Tesex1r tne iient to reject tee bide if we are not in pow ition to go ahead with the WOrk' Mr. Hoanfh: I ;would not advise going ahead until. the firat if the year. , I Want to. cleaned up. AMPacitetklele -04 Adjourned meeting of council Monday December 6, 1915 ear. Ralston: You would not have to sell the bonds until Maroh 15, but as Mr, Kaokley we need 60 days to get ready. Mr. Romfh: It has been said that traffio will not be delayed but I am a little afraid 0 that and think it would be better to start about Maroh or April let on thrbridgea; and that it would be well to get a ninety day extension on the permit. It will not hurt an to ask for the extension. • Mr. Ralst n: The Government says we must start by March let and it wili take 30 days to advertise and 30 days for the contraotor to get here. Mr. Romrn: You would have to ask for an extension even then. You would not want to authorize selling your bonds until you get your bids and know how many bonds to sell, and then it will take 30 days to sell the bonds. ndr. Ha.leton; If that is the ease, lets ail for olds. The Riverside people are oertainl entitieu to oonsideration as well as the Soutneide. Mr. Romfh: 1 think it would be well for these people to go before the county commissioners. mr. Wharton: Theyraaid they would call the bond election in December. Would there be difficulty in getting an extension of time from the War Departments dr. Kaokley: I•believe that on a good excuse we could get an extension of time but it will take quite a while to get the extension as it will have to go to Washington and there is a great ,sal of red tape to be unwound. I just wonder if you realize the steps t will have to be taken. If you advertise for bids January 1 and receive them February 1, work wiii,not commence before ma/oh 1, and you will not have an estimate in before April 1, and since it is the sense r', council to find out how muoh the Bounty is going to appropriate and how the bids will run before you Bell the bonds, would it not be well to advertise for bide subject to selling of tne bonds? And so far as obstruction to traf is concerned, there will be no obstruction for at least forty five drays after the work is started. Under these oonditions, 1 wonder if it dill be necessary to try for an extension. mr. Romfn: I tnink it would be well to ask for a ninety day extension. Mr. Ralston: I :don't object to asking for ninety day extension but Mr. Romfh don't live Riverside. The bonds were voted for the bridges and now it is stated there will be uo o etruntion until may let and the money will not be required until April 1, so why no to work. £tat brilge is really necessary. iar. Highieyma.n: I was interested in the eoutnside, we have a bum struoture and we want the Avenue D bridge, but the council has a tremendous amount of work ahead and to put ourselves on the safe side in case we are not in shape, 1 think it advisable to ask for an extension. ear. Ralston: I have no objection to the extension but we should instruct the engineers t a.ax for bids and get started. The engineers have to know ahead so as to get the by.eciticat s 1,repered; we :would depend on the finance committeeman to get the,money an l tnink it woule be well for council to -eo on record asking for the extension. Romfh: The truth of the matter is I have not thougnt much about the bridges..I don' know, may be it is all right to go ahead and do the advertising, but I want to get out from under the ;i450,000 bonds. The broker who buys these will want the market protected and he may ask for thirty to ninety days to get rid of these bonds. You are offering, som tning extr•.ordinary in these ohannel,00nds and it will be unusually alfzicult to teen. tnem ant get a price. I have been waiting on the county oommissioners tninking tney would contribute :65,000, aril then on the ittn we oan get an idea of what our bonae wilt bring. I have several agents working on the surety bond and have been abeorbea in gettins that and trying to "et our $450,000 bonds sold in order to meet the re-euirerents of tne Government on January 7th. I think it would be well to defer action on the bri.1gee untit,aft r January iet. �r. ra.Le oz: The .l:stlion le we will not have time in Dace we ao not get an extension. 1 we advertise and don't ee11 tee bonus we have lost nothing and might save time. eloveu by E. C. homfn, seconded by L. T. Highleyman tnat the engineers be requested to ask tne war Department to extend the time for ninety days to begin the oonstruotion of oriuges over the miam1 River at 1 to Street and Avenue D. Motion carried. :ar. R eefh: e are w.ivertisin`, we will say, for the bridges, and when a man buys the 445 ,400 bends anu sees Inc likelihood of :anotner ;150,000 coming cut, he wants to know whether he oan -et rid of his bonds. 1 tnink on the 13tn we can find out from the sues essful bidder how ion; h: wants to dispose of the ; o0,400. 1 don't think he could ask for 90 days and ne me..y ta..e the bride bon:ls. Ae wiit have Inc sale on Ind 16tn and I don't wane any confusion. 1 am interested in getting tne beet price and to protect the brokers and don't wart confusion it there is any way to keep from it anu ask that the bridge matter lain over until bids are received on Inc k45u,cJOO bonds. er. Kaek.ey: The extra coat to keep traffic open will be about 43,000 for each bridge in delay if you don't have this extra construction will be serious, but we find we will n.ve to uae an ind.:pendent span ens unless we put tnat in trafficsuiti probably be held on Avenue D for two montne. Every day the matter is put off means the bridge will cost more :Honey. Tne very nest time to do this king of work down here is during the wirier wnen wore is closes in tne north nne work of tnis size will. attzact bidders from the north.

Kackiey it will ce a :ooa move it tne people are willing to go over Avenue G Knarton: 1 think so anu believe it good policy to save Inc $6,000. Mr. Kaokley: :'ne Avenue U matter naa never been up witn tne War Department. :ar.

Kiackiey: Tne matter of a peewit will be taken up with the War Department in the next few days. it has been aeiayeto see wnetner we oan get the additional funds from the county comtr,isaioners as 'dUO,uvu is very short and I was in hopee,of an expression from t com:iie,ioners to a.tlox i1o,000, but I wilt take it up witn the W,x Department on plaits we will draw for a JSo,UuO struoture witn permission to extend. b.pomit •'to cover #die ..a..we+w..r. w..awrw w.�.•w+ w.wn.w..w...u• �iw arty^ 11**Z:�, *501' .J�Vt fr.:i 'iL Y. xPo +� .s.:::L";n',.

The War Department ie interested only the movable spate which will be the same in any event, ana the $1b,Oti0 wouJ.a be spent in the approach spans. Mr. Hefty; Why is it neoeseary to put it that way. The pity has voted its bongs ana we get one fourth from the street railway. Mr. naexiey: The city can not divert any of the money. it we get an additional sum for Avenue G 1 will, of course, put it up to tne War Department in that way. The Department grants permits on the designs submitted and tnere would be a difte-enoe between a 7i40,000 a>i.ne a 425,000 bridge. 'rne plans are approved by the Department as tney stand and it would be a little out or tne or.:iinary to grant suon a permit. :ar. Hefty: How long will it take to s et.;ure a pera it r .tr.

Klyoe for supervision of oonatruotion of sewers during November $ 461. Mr. Klyoe; That is the amount due up to the time my contract was cancelled and none of tce time of my assistants is included on the regular roll. Mr. Romfh: From what time was that? r"r K: About Nov. 22nd or 24th. rr. Romfh: If that is the case, I noticed 4208.33 on the pay roll as your salary as city engineer and that should not be there but $,90. only. K: You realize that for the past tw..o months nothing has been made on sewers. I have had no paving. Mr Romfh: The 208.33 should not be on the roll until the ordinaz,oe has had its third reading and I be.1eve the 208 should be deducted from the 461. That is the way I look at it. r.:r. K: Of course the council has the right to do that and oan fix salaries as you please, 1 have nothing' to say, but I don't think it is right. You:uremembetr the last month for eewere I got 1270 for a months work and had my men to pay mr. Romfh: I don't think you made any money but we must either date the ordinance DeoembWr est :::r K: Then I will have to add several hundred dollars to the pay roll as 1 paid the men myself Some of that work -goes back into October. mr. Ha.iston: is the estimate approved by mr. Wharton( ir.r. Wharon: I looked it over and I understood the 461 was due up to the `,ime his contract was cancelled an.i for what he had paid out for help whloh did no: appear on the pay rolls, or approximately that amount. He said there was no profit in sewer work and ass- umed that was practioaliy his pay roll er. Romfh: 1 don't went the salary drawn until the ordinance is passed. :.,r. Wharton: 1 don't want to be understood as approving a bill that is not correct I understood when he brought it up it was practically hie pay roll. :.r.

A great many property owners pr::fer the sand and oil treatment and if oounoil thinks it should be paved that way we will, at the proper time, advertise for bids from the Railroad crossing Buena Vista on Biscayne Drive mr.

Ralston: What percent. of the county road tax does the city pay'. ear. Homfn: About 27%. I understooa that at the time the $100,000 County Road bonds were voted that tne incorporated towns were to be pavea right through, and unaeretana they aia so at Hallandale and Homestead, prepared the roads and oiled them, and 1 don't see w they ehoula not treat the city of mian:i the same, we pay 27% of the taxes.

He aon.t want to pu. the oil on this street unless we put it in good shape, which would be all rient if it was to be .ermanent; perhaps after the sewer is in he might put on tne sa anu oil. i couldn't very well blame him for not wanting to oil it when it is only tempormry an may be torn ur in two or three months. eras there any definite understanding with council. r. ttorlfn. tjere was nonin-. beio,e council; simply askew tne county. c.nairwan: rap counsel felt it •-:as nOLhlr- more to-n was due the city to oome in for a por ion of tale work v,e are alp in thae County anu otner comr„unitiee are having their roads Eraaed, paved ana oilea. .ur.

Mr. August Geier watt the suooessful arohiteat and.I have here the oontraot embodying the oonditions as contained in the program. I ask the clerk to read it. The oontraot was read by the olerk and returned to ear. Ralston. mr. Highleyman asked about the clause providing for the traveling expenses of the arohiteat. Mr. Ralston stated that only applied in case the arohiteat was instruoted by the oity- oounoil to make a trip to study hospital conditions, and that it is the usual form of contract adopted by the American Institute of Arohiteote :Sr. Highleyman: The contraot is satisfactory to me as it is the regulation architects contract. .cr. Ralaton: The council agreed to enter into that oontraot when the competition was authorized. ar. Romfh: 1 was not here at the time. Why didn't the old council enter into the contest? I would like an opportunity to look it over until next meeting. it was agreed to hold up on the contract for the present. CONTRACT WITH ISHA11 RANDOLPH ANL COMPANY FOR PLANS AND SUPERVISION OF CONSTRUCeION Or HA;9'R IMPROVE:!ANTS. Mr. Ralaton presented the proposed contract, which was read by the clerk. .ar. Homfh: That is not conditioned on the sale of our bonds. 0f course we expect to sell them and get the money. ...r. Halston: We ,:eul,i hardly expect him to supervise the work unless we have the money. ..r. Romfh: We have the money for the cooks. This contract is something tnat I don't kno•shether I want to take up to night. i don't know who drew it. .,ir. Ralston: : r A. J Rose drew it. ..:r. Highleyman: I think it .,ould be well to make it conditional on the bond sale. :r. kaleton: r. .-t aolph's fe:a are on the same basis as an architeots. If we never boil.: the channel and the bank in which the dock money is deposited should fail, he has earned his fee on the plans, which we have accepted. 0f course we can not pay him the fee6 for supervision until the work is done. ar. Highleyman: You are now making a contraot for supervision. ..:r. aelaton: eo, air. Lid you think we were paying 4;', for supervision of digging the channel/ That Jovere the conception of the idea, study of conditions of traffic, his report, th. draaino of the plans, all that is included in the 45; we have advanced him some :3,0)0. .,r.

He has submitted his plans and' epeoificationa, after studying the situation, and suppose we should get another man, Mir. ru:.ndolph has earned what percent of the fee? I will ask gar. Klyce. ..r. Fly oe : It 1-=penda upon the kind of work. :r. Romfh: The percent, .a 1 unteratooa it, was $2500 for the plans.and specifications. Zr. Holston: That was eiu iy an advance on the fee. ..r. ::omfn: I think the beat assurance we have is Mr. Randolph. The contraot is new to me, our attcr ney drew it, but 1 would like to look it over and possibly some suggestions could be offered. Mr. haiaton: ...r. Highleyman went ov er it carefully and every suggestion he made was embodied. ::r. Hignley.aan: That is true. _Jr. R:.rrlolph has gotten us to this point and brought the Natter to a point where there is no question of its auooeseful conclusion, and it is bad b swap horsee in the middle f the stream, and as a question of insurance in having a :::an of :r. Ha_dolph'e reputation back of a proposition of this eort, I would be in favor of hire, but 1 do think it a matter for consideration and that it would be better to look over the contract fu tner. There might be some suggestions to make. We don't sell the bons until reeember 16th and I would favor studying over the question until that tune.' r. Ralston: if council wants more time it oan be put off very easily but it shoulok cioaed as quickly as poe=,ible. ..r. Romfh: I am asked to vote on a proposition of $15,000 or more anti woad, 2,4 satisfy myself. mr. Ralston: What suggestions have you to djourned meeting of oounoil December 6, 19.5. mr. Romfh: I don't know as there is anything I avant to suggest, but to load something Over Once and say all right, why I want time to look it over carefully. ,gar. Highleyman: This is a matter on which the city is going to pay out a large amount.of money and it looks as though we ehould have the best of supervision, as undoubtedly Mr. tandolph will give us; the thought struck me, however, he has his son here and while he i a graduate from a teohnioal college he has not had experience and in a matter in which this city is to spend $400,000. it seems only right and wise that we should expect a man of experience in overseeing this work, experience being the best teacher of all. I believe Mr. ea niolph should furnish us an experienoed engineer to oversee this work. I don't believe we are asking too much of him to do it. It is proper that the city should expeet it. +ir. Ralston: I am perfectly willing to leave the supervision of the work to Mr. Randolph: if he chooses to put his son on or a man at $1,000 per month, it is all,right, for as one member of the oounoil I am going to hold Mr. Isham Randolph and to him, a small job like t is, he certainly will take care of his reputation. I think we may leave that to him, he, of course, to see that the work is carefully and properly inspected. ar. Erfert: I believe like Mr. Highleyman. This is the largest amount of money this city has ever spent and we expeot results, I think we should have the best. I don't know anything about who is best adapted but we should have an engineer of experience to do the work for us. :gar. Ieham Randolph's reputation is all right but we must remember the reputation nor. tiazlehurst had on wood block, and we got bit on that. It is, of course, a small job for c�.r. Randolph but a big one for tee city. I want deep water as fast as we can get it and I think we are entitled to the best. I decide with Mr. Highleyman on that. Mr. Ralston: Thera is one statement to make to dr. Erfert: Mr. Haxlehurst drew the specifications on the wood block and didn't think we needed a concrete base and he was wrong. sir. Randolph has drawn the specifications for the dock, channel and basin and I in that printed document has gone into details. How the channel should be builtand he states in this cOntraot that he will see it is properly done,- the real brain work was done in that pamphlet and I thins we oan safely trust hie to see that the work is done properly without endeavorin;_ to dictate who his resident engineer is to be. He states he Will give as much of his personal attention as is neoeseary, and I dislike to see council fiddle and fool with suoh a email matter. Hie son has been appointed resident engineer an has studied these plane all summer. mr. Rorpfh: To throw light on that, we did enter into an agreement on the dook proposition but I would like to ask, who had an idea of digging a channel aoroee the Bay if there was no money or bonde available at that time, July 1914. There was a tentative understanding to the effect that 5% would be charged but Mr. Randolph said he would make it 4% en the channel. I have no objection to the contract but would like to look it over as I want time to etuay an expendtiure of some it13,000. Mr. Ralston; There is no objection at all. .ir. Romfh: 1 am not kicking on the contract, I think we ought to keep Mr. Randolph, but think we should look into it and see what suggestions can be made. I didn't read it unti to nit and don't feel like voting on it. hJai., n,.r. Ralston: There should be something entered into that every man here should stand by. STREET Cfl0SSIN S Ov✓x F. E. C. RY TRACKS ELEVENTH AND EIGHTH STREETS ir. Ralston: The other ni'?ht the matter of opening some streets was referred to the stree cowrritteeman and 1 would like to call attention to the fact that years ago the railroad company entered into a contract for the openinE of Eighth Street, the same as they entere into for the opening of Eighth Street. That is on the minute book and it seems if we, enforce one ordinance we might enforce the other. Possibly there is more reason for ope Eiznth than Eleventn street, especially since the construction of the new high school/ If they agreed to open 8th as well as llth we should instruct the street committeeman to put them on notice to comply with both ordinances. I offer that as a motion. It was seconded oy Uouncilman Erfert. The motion carried unanimously.

Klyce: We are about to start the work of paving Avenue 0 and Avenue D and on the last paving' the Pittsburgh Testing Laboratory had charge of the chemical work and I would like to know if council wants the same firm.

Mr. Klyoe: Contraotor Fickle has been delayed somewhat by the bonding company, but the agent for the oompany assured me he saw no reason why the bond should not be here in a few days. We are all anxious to go ahead with the work. I told him that unlees council objected I saw no reason for him not going ahead, but that if he failed to get the bond he would have no oontraot and would have no money ooming to him; of onurse you oould reimburse him if you want to, but he could not oolleot. I have no right 1;o allow him to start and bring it to you Mr. Romfh: We must remember that in oases of this kind, in the event of an aocident it would be up to the oity. He should not be allowed to start on more than one street. Mr. Klyce: With this class of work there i.s not great likelihood of accident as the streets are not excavated. The time is now about up. Chairman Hefty: I think we could allow him to go ahead at his own risk. Mr. Romfh: We might allow it on one street. The bond ought to be here in four or five days. Mr. Fickle: Mr. McVey told me it ought to be here in four.or five days, by Wednesday or Thursday. I was held up until last Wednesday before anything was said about indemnity. 0f course if I have to do that I might as well do it direct to the oity. He may reoeive a wire to morrow to go ahead and issue the bond. I have complied with all requirements and established credit with the new oompany. I don't think there will be any trouble about the bond from what Mr. McVey told me. :4r. Romfh: I think we should certainly have the bond on a $9,000 or 410,000 contract I think we oould wire the bond oompany and have them wire us to morrow. MOVIN1 OF BUILDING OVER PERMANENT PAVING ,sir. Wharton brought up the question, stating that he had a number of applioation which he was holding up because of the fact that the city oounoil had not eleoted an attorney. Chairman: They have always had a permit and put up a small bond to oover damages. far. Romfh: We did not have permanent paving until recently. :ar.
