A representative of one of the bond houses stated that all of them would have to remain in :.t sti until aome disposition is made of tne bones and as they wanted to get boi a for eeristmae, askew teat the bids on 5's be reoeived tomorrow night, 17th. :r. Romfh theu:-ht if bids are received on 5's the bonds should be readvertised. That tnere was absolutely no prearrangement with the Miami Bank & Trust Co. Of course a bank :could cover a point or so on interest, but the city w111 secure interest on the deposits .ana would require surety bonde. Attorney rose stated that action could be taken as council deemed best, aoeepe the best bid on 5i's, whicn is all that could be done to night, or if it is preferred -to consider bide on 5's, tne resolution can be amended offering the bonds at 5%, which amendment meut be by 5/7 vote of council; that it is not necessary to readvertise, simply amend the resolution a.n:, tne matter can be taken up and the bonds offered whenever council •.-ishes) tomorrow nient or council oan now accept the bid on 5i!s. r. Hie,ley a.n: it seems it would be advisable to ive all these g ntlemen a chance to bid on 5's to morrow night. r. Rose: If $ou do that you shoud, advise the First Natioanl of Cleveland and give them a chance to bid on the 5's, ana i suggest you wire them to night and if that le done every . ,one bidding on the 5i's to ni ht would have knowledge that council is going to offer the bonds on a basis of 55 .zr Ralston: i think council snouln be guided largely by the advice of the Finanoe Committeeman and 1 awn goin;, to ask him for his ideas on the matter. Of course we want to sivt tne city money but don't want to ao anything unetIlioa1 so far as the bond men are concerned for they have come here in good faith and made splendid bids and 1 would not be a party to anytning that would be unfair to them and 1 wouict like to know from the Finance Committeeman and tne bond buyers if there is any obgeotion to that. er. eomfh: rnert is real.y nothing official be. ,re oounoil on 5's but there is ann intimation test you can get a better price but r.. should certainly give every bond house d chance an•. el you want to receive bias on 5'e to morrow night, council oan elect whether to ac ept the bid on 5's or 5i's. ( rant & Cole. representative stated Gnat he had made a bid on 51s and showea his hand ana while the ciey d1a not ask for or advertise for that bid, thought it would be better for ail r.preeentatives to come before council tomorrow night and the city auction its bonds oft at 5%. r. Hignleyrean asked if tnat woul be unethical or a refleoti.gn upon the 'pity.. A number or tne bond buyers replied that it would not as eouno-3.1 reeerv04,.0� reject all bids en- there would be no reflection upon the .cter with ! D00 e�1 on tne cc -round ...,:....; ..

Oounoilamn Ralston: Were you oonsulted by the former administration Chief Whitman: Yes, sir, I recommended every man on the force except racient•appointmente Moved by E. C. Romfh, seconded oy L. T. Highleyn;an, that the appointment Of M. (shandl,elr as patrolman be rejected. Mr. Wharton: I only have this to say: mr. Chandler is not related to me, but in my estimation honesty oovere a greet many sine and I know he is honest, which I more than 1 can say of several who are on the force. 1 believe he will make as good an officer ae 75;w of those now on the force, and I move that the appointment be confirmed. The motion was seconded by tr. Ralston: Mr. Romfh: I withdraw my motion. Chief: I would like to say that s,:r. uhandier told me he had been sworn in and I offered him a badge and he said "Nothing doing on the night watch", which was all that was open. How can 1 handle men unless 1 have jurisdiction over them? i4r. Wharton: He told you he did not have anyone to stay with his children but would look up someone and the chief remarked that he "didn't have anything to do with his family" I state this to let council knpw why he did not go on. Chief: He just said "nothing doing" when I told him his watch. I told him the oity didn't take oa.re of a man's family that most of the men on the force are married. ir. Erfert: It strikes me this way: sir. uhandler has been on the force and he just quit. He was on tne Board of Health and lost out. He was at the inoinerator, and he is an engineer and if he was competent why wasn't he kept there? Chairman Hefty: It seems to me that in making appointments to the various departments everything should be considered. 1 don't thins it advisable to put men on the polioe for.e who are not agreeable to the chief and hold nirn responsible as well as the mayor. We should have the entire administration as harmonious as possible. ,ar. Ralston: It all depends upon the point of view. 1f you hold the chief responsible then he should be in control of his department but if you are looking to the mayor to enforce the laws aru clean up the town, ana do a few otner things expected, then the mayor should have the aay so in tree polioe department. Chairman: We don't expect to have any Ceara at all. The mayor is -in position to make these appointments ana if he made one that was not agreeable he could get other men and fill the positions with men the chief could use and I do not say this with reflection upon anyone. .:.r. Flier: 1 aa not a kea, ao police commieeioner, to make these appointments ana I don' care to do ao, but 1 do think tne heaa of eacn department shoula be consulted as it iiarupts and demoralizes tee whole department. Mr. Chandler is a personal friena of min yet if he is coins to be disagreeable to the chief -- We shoula get together and ore harmoniously. r, Wnarton: Under our form of government the mayor is held responsible for the enforcer.:ent of laws ana it is just as baa for the chief to pick his men and put them on t force and expect tne mayor to enforce the ordinances ana 1, for one, say that the :tayor i resr.or.eible; and when he was elected he had the power to appoint these officers, we knew -L:.t w:,en we e2ec tea him, 4.nu he has appointed .:;r. Chandler, and unless I am badly aietaeen he will make as good an officer as you have. ..r. Flier: 1 don't knew about tnat. The r..ayor is responsible, yet if he and the chief °cula ,;et toreener and agree upon a man, there would be satisfaction all around aheei ; ..r. Wharton, when you were Mayor did you appoint patrolmen? ..r. 'anarton: it was tne custom at that time for the chief to say who he wanted on the for ana on tee other h.,n., 1 four, that I was handicapped. When 1 wanted to know anything about the de: rt .' r.t mere was not a roan 1 cou.ia put my finger on to ferret out anything 1 wants.. to find out, and if 1 was .ayor now 1 would appoint the patrolmen chief: 1 feei that 1 have responeioieety just the same for the department and so far rya ulsaereein: with the mayor on a man tnat is not necessary. 1i 1 should recomn,ena a man are the mayor w uea tell me he ;lid not believe he was the right man, I would submit; but we have one man in particular in tne department who ignores me and he don't hesitate in telling_ the public so ana says when he wants oraera he goes to the mayor ana he is gettin other men in tne aepartaent in cne same way ana whenever we get the department in that ahpe it can not be handled to the best advantage of the city, and thats the condition of thins right now. • :r. anarton: 1 wile ask the mayor to witharaw the appointment. .ayor Hendereon: 1 have r:,a:e the appointment and will ask council to act on it. ..r. n:..eton: 1 wa'--t to co on recora as saying that I can not agree with the chief about who the people look to now for strict enforcement of the laws. I believe that two cenzi1ctina political i,_eas fount a deatn fight last June ana it was not only on deep water, but on many other things, the issue was decided by the people and they are looking to ,:r. .en.,ereon to do thinge that many have wanted done for years and if Mr. Henderson says he wante to work with certain tools in doing the work he was put there to do, even thou:n I may not be personally in favor of his tools, I ahail vote for them. ^hies: le the mayor •^oing to hanL.le these tools?. Have 1 no jurisdiction whatever? How am 1 soin: to hanule them :ter, 1 ..stop: 1f he aeeires to consult you 1 think it a splendid idea, but if not I can't help that ._r. Erfert: Has it be ne in your der artrnent builair.g ins J`ector, 1 a foreman 1 weue- lip else men are not paying chief should c-et toget en the custom to appoint men disagreeable to the oommit'teeme t 4: :1r.

Dear Sir: I wish to oali your attention to restaurant in the Fotosho building, formerly known as Rectors cafe. it is not only a fire hazard, but a menace to the safety of the theatre going public for a re-taurant to be oreratea under the same roof with a picture show. In this place the kitchen ie located on the roof and a none too substantial roof at that and 1 sincerely believe this to be a very dangerous condition of affairs.

This committee took up several minor matters with Major Ladue, one the approprattan for tee Government Out, but the major refused to commit himself on the matter of a larger appropration for the out, but I had a letter fro Congressman Sparkman, to day, Chairman of the Rivera and Harbors Committee, and he said the matter of Miami harbor Would come up and receive due attention and consideration, whatever that means, within the nett few days. sir. Highleyn .n: ",ir. Romfh: I think the oommittee should keep in close touch. .ir. Rolston: I immediately wrote er. Sparkman asking him to advise us when this meeting would be had, as Miami would want to send a delegation to be heard, for we have a right to ask the Government to complete its work as soon age we complete ours. Their total ap,ropriation is e390,000 and there seems to be some misunderstanding as to what they will ao to make the cut 300 ft. wide through the Key, 20 ft deep and build the jetties out 5e0 ft and a small refuge basin inside. About the 4100,000, Major Ladue was very cautious as to what that would do. er.
