APPOINTMENTS MECHANIC FOR CITY STABLES
"Miami, April 20, 1916.
Hon. City Council,
Miami, Florida.
Gentlemen:
I have appointed Mr W. H. Sharp as meohanio, city stables, in plane of
Mr. B. Sutton, effective May 1, next, and ask your confirmation.
Respectfully,
P. A. Henderson,
Mayor."
Mr. Erfert: Is Mr. Sutton a city official?
Chairman: He was appointed by the former mayor.
Mr. Erfert: He was not appointed by this council.
.r. Wharton: That was disposed of the other night and was to be held until the end of
this month.
Chairman: My redolleotion, Mr. Erfert, that Mr. Sutton was appointed by Mayor Watson
and the appointment was confirmed by this council.
Mr. Erfert: Mr. Conrad, then street committeeman, recommended we employ a man to keep
up the work and I don't think the mayor had anything to do with it.
Mr. Romfh: The mayor appointed the man.
Chairman: That is right,- Mr. Conrad recommended a man and the mayor appointed him.
Mr. Erfert: I understand it is said it does not pay to keep a man, yet one bill-agai*
the Board of Health for repairs was $84. I think a man would earn kis money by keepi g
up things out there anx his eye on everything. I don't think the man should be dispensed
' with.
Mr. Hefty: It was suggested some two weeks ago that tke mayor and street oommitteeman
look into the matter. Mr. Wharton thought it might be to the interest of the oity to
dispense with the man.
Mr. Erfert: I think we need a man to look after the eity's property out there.
Chairman: Then why not confirm the mayor's appointment. So far as I am oonoerned, I will
certainly support the mayor.
Mr. Erfert: I have nothing against tke mayor's appointment, but according to that the mays
can appoint all the men thattdrive the oarts.
Mr. Hefty: This man was not to be under ono department alone but to do the work of several
Hdepartments and it was up to the mayor to appoint him and not any particular oommitteeman.
I would be glad to have the mayor take upon himself the appointment of all employees.
Mr. Ralston: With all,due respeot to the street oommitteeman, I think two weeks long
enough to investigate the matter.
hr. Wharton: It is but I was not expeoting it until May let. There is plenty of work to
keep a good man if the oity will have its work done, but if different departments are
Ding to split up the work it is a question whether the street department is justified in
aintaining the expense. For three or four days this week Mr Sutton has been busy an the
ncinerator, yet the street department gets no oredit for these extra jobs. I diffe + . A.
ittle with Mr. Romfh and the mayor to some extent,- 1 don't think the mayor has
is appointive power anything except offiosrs and don't think the ohar$er gives hind:;
,t ght to appoint departmental employees.
Mr. Highleyman: What does the oity attorney say?
4
4nlar el etini'ce omMloi'1 A ri1 M, 1016
Mr. Hefty: In a oase where a man works for several departments.
Mr. WhartonL He should be employed by oounoil.
Mr. Romfh: I am willing to take the mayor's recommendation.
Mr. Ralston: So am I. Furthermore, oan you really imagine a private corporation operat
atth eight general managers,- sight men who have the hiring and firing. It would.be
ridioulous and we must have some executive head. Even if the oharter does not
expioitlygive the mayor the power it seems council should do so.
AE this point the oity attorney read the provisions of the oharter in regard to appointm
Mr. Highleyman: I oertainly agree with Mr. Ralston. There are different departments in
oorporation usually and the head of each department is responsible. I have taken the
pdtion in this matter that if Mr. Wharton wants to keep Sutton,1 will vote with him, an
if he wants to discharge the man and the balanos of oounoil want to keep him, I would v
with him as I think the oommitteeman should be responsible for kis department.
Chairman: This man does work for various departments and Mr. Wharton didn't think his
department oould stand the expense. The man is not in the street department entirely.
Mr. Highleyman: We have only spent about $160 for that kind of work sinoe November.
Itsa.s willing to let Mr. Sutton bid on the work we had done,- it was simply a question o
getting it done at the lowest price. I didn't want to leave it so that time oould be oh
up without a check. There was one charge out there of $76 and we didn't think the sanit
department got that muok out of it.
Mr. Wharton: I am not paritoularly anxious to keep Sutton and am not opposed to Sharp
but I take the position that if the mayor can discharge one man he oan disoharge all
the employes in a department and resolut in disorganization. I deny the right of the ma
to appoint employees in different departments.
Mr. Romfh: Who is it up to then?
City Attorney: The officers are designated by the oharter.
Mr. Hefty: Mr. Wharton do you think this position should have been filled by the oounoi
Mr. Wharton: He might have been recommended by the mayor but he was in reality an
employee of the city council. I am not objecting to the mayor's appointment but it oou
just as well have been held over until May lst and if we deoide to keep a man there I
not opposed to the mayor's reoo,muendation, if council sees fit to make a change.
Mr.
Mr.
Mr.
Mr.
Erfert: The mayor has not the power acoording to this oharter.
Romfh: The oity oounoil has noauthority in the matter.
Erfert: It don't say anything about the oounoil
Romfk: If we have not the authority we will take it.
City Attorney: The council oould certainly delegate that power to the mayor.
Mr. Filer: I have always felt that if the mayor wanted a partioular man he should have
that privilege.
Mr. Erfert: I don't feel that way. Ws have eight managers and each man knows what he
wants. He took an oath to do so and if the manager oan not say who tO nkire without
consulting the mayor, I say give up the job.
Mr. Romfh: You didn't have the say when it oame to the building inspootor.
Mr. Erfert: I was not asked and it is a devil of a come -off.
Mpved by E C. Romfk, seconded by H. G.

Mr. Whrton: As I don't consider Mr Sutton wholly an employee of the street department
Iwill not oppose the motion but if he was I would fight it to the last ditch. Of course
you might outvote me.

Regular meeting April 20, 1916.
Mr. Wharton: The plat has been looked over and it is all right '' :ith,thelli O'8 rti+ 'f
of the little strip borderAg the east side of Bisoayne Drivt,. -and the. bit -
contemplating the wideningof that street ten feet on the -east side. The plat
does not show that and Mr. Nelson we says he will give us a letter to th'e i*trot 06
he will dedicate the ten feet on the drive as soon as we agquire ten feet from the,
other property owners.
Mr. Romfh: I think we should get the dedioations fom as many people as possible. Ws
might run into someone who will hold us up but I believe the sentimentof the people is
to give ten feet on either side pretty much all the way to Buena Vista and I believe
if the attroney will draw up the proper dedication papers we will get a great mealy
owners signed up. We are ready to fix up the Drive and believe we should get it widened
out to fifty feet.
Mr. Wharton: Mr. Nelson says he its willing to do that if the oounoil is willing to
accept hie statement to dedicate the ten feet and adopt this resolution.
Mr. Ralston: The letter should be put on record immediately.
Mr. Romfh: I think we should get the dedioation right now.
Chairman: We might aocept the plat and advise the attorney to get the dedeaion. Mr. Nelson
has said he would dedicate the ten feet.
Moved by E. C. Romfh, seoonded by F. H. Wharton, that Resoluten No. A-1035 be adopted
and the signature of the clerk be witheld until the attorney has aoquired the
edioation of ten feet along the east side of Biscayne Drive from Mr. Nelson and Mr. Bird.
On roll call all voted yes.
On April 22nd, 1916, the following was filed with the oity olerk:
"Miami,Florida, April 22, 1916.
Hon. Parker A. Henderson, Mayor and the City Counoil,
Miami, Florida.
Gentlemen:
We, the undersigned owner of Nelson Villa 8ubdiviion having submitted a
plat to you for approval, realize that the beauty of Bisoayne Drive will be enhansed by

Regular meeting of ooUnoil Thursday April 20, 1916.
PROPOSED NEW CITY HOSPITAL
Mr. Highleyman: I notioe that Dr Jackson and several members of the Medioal Society
are hee and before they take up the matter of ]de Hospihl I would Ike to make a few
remarks to set myself right. Two artioles in the evening paper, an editorial to
n#1t and the other Wednesday night. .When I first read them I began to think I was a
m r sort of a fellow and I read them again and didn't ee think so badly about myself,
because I found they were not true. It is stated that "L. T. Highleyman says the
aye Miami does not need a hospital". I don't think that any person would think I
would say such an idi0tio thing. If there was only one man siok in a year I would
think the city should have a hospital for that one man. I didnt make Such a statement
and would not thik of tt. Anoher is thatl am holding up this hospital. That is not
true. In December I spoke to Mr. Romfh about selling our bonds,- deep water, bridges
and hospital, and at that time he told me the city ;would not be able to sell more than
the deep water bonds for the reason that if we sold the hospital or bridge bonds it would
exceed the 10%o limit. Realizing it was impossible to get this money I didn't do anything.
I mightnsay further that he said that in July the assessment could be raised so that
these bonds could be sold. I am making these statements because I don't want to go before
the public and be quoted wrong. My standing on the hospital is that everyone has
the right of his opinion; I give everyone that right and claim it myself. In viewof the
fact it this ciy is in need of many other developements on every hand, and some of them
very important, I think it best that the oity use the money available, some $30,000. an
build on the present hospital site which would be sufficient to take oare of the oity
for a number of myears. On the oherhand if we take the $30,000 whioh is all we have and
go out to the grounds west of Highland Park, we wont be able to build a hospital that
would be complete. The original plans call for $115,000. and in addition to that we have
to pay something forfixing up the grounds. In all honesty I quotedMr. Geiger sometime
ago hen he told me it would take glo,000 to put the grounds -in shape. I suppose he
took into coneideaton walks and driveways necessary. But assumingbe grounds oanbe
fixed up for $2500. and a reasonable amount for walks and driveways and the equipment for
the hospital, it would probably mean eventually $140,000 or $150,000. This town, in my
mind, is confronteu with a problem that should be taken up, in which we would have
the use of our bond limit in looking after public utilities and the council should work
to that end. I mgght say that we should pass some ordinance to look after our meters
and see tat our bills are correct. If we ineease our aseessment$,000,000. or $5,000.,000
it will allow us $400,000 or $500,000. bonds and we immditely have to take out of that
over $200,000. forbonde alreagt issued. That is 4175,000 bridge andhospital bods.The
hospital should be ompleted if started. With the money we have it would be inoomplete
If we are to keep up our record and not be a piker town we should finish the hospital. :,f
so it will take another ,100,000. leaving us a very small margin for other important leaters
that are coming up. The stand I took was that it looked the better business judgment
tonusethe bay fm$i site. Thee is no desteon my part to go against the wishes of council
and the people. If they slant it on the dump grounds it can go out there but so far as
I am concerned, I still and will always think, and the future will demonstrate, it woul
be better to use the bay front. There is another matter in connection with it. It was
suggested that to parry the hospital along to a point where it would be usable that we
sell the bay front lot, which is 150 feet front. I tell you we should:keep that lot.
It is the only piece of property we have on the bay front and if we aro fortunate enoug
to get the riparian rights, all right, but itnwould be a mistake to let the hospital
lot go. It would be a fine park or oomfot station site. If we sell it now to put the
hospital in half way shape, we have lost a valuable piece of property and will have
to buy something like it back at increased cost. I think the oity should be looking ou
to get such property instead of selling. I have the right to my opinion and am not
trying to oppose any man or delay the hospital. I would have taken itmap a long time
ago had Mr. Romfh given me the information that the bonds could be sold. I think he wil
tall you I spoke to him on the subject. The paper says this has been delayed six month
but if you will remember we sold our deep water bonds in December. Six months ago we
didn't have the bonds sold and to day we haven'tsold tiara; they oan be sold buthe
queeton is at what ptoae? Ae Mr. Romfh has said, we can't get the prioe we should have
if we sell bonds over the 10% limit. If you want to start we could clear the grounds
and have things in shape to go ahead with the building. If council wishes to have the
hospital started I am willing to do so., but don't intend to be placed in an attitude
that I have been opposing it,simply exercising the right of my belief.
Mr. Ralston: I:.want to take exception to one statement, and that is if we go ahead on
the hospital it will cost us another $100,000 to put it in shape. The plans were drawn
a.ter careful,etudy and it was agreed by the dootore as wellas the arhiects that Whe
units were to be added as the city grows and in years to come we would spend $115,000.
It was never contemplated that we should spend over $45,000 to begin with, because both the
architects and the doctors told us that would build enough of the units to care for
this town at present, and sie that is thecase and Mr. Highleyman has 430,000 at his
disposal, IxtXsagree with him about selling the present hospital site provided the
finance committeeman oan raise $15,000 otherwise. We stand much more than an even
chance to acquire the riparian rights from l2th to 7th Street and the oity oan but
anu sell real estate the same as an individual.
Dr. Jas. M. Jaclson: As a member of the committee from the Dade County Medical Assn.
I would like to say a few words. Mr. Highleyman and I have talked over the matter and
disagreed, but always good humored about it. We have our own opinions. I think he is wrong
and He thinks I am wrong. In order that the matter may be intelligently discussed, I
want to say that when the garden party was discussed by/the ladies for furnishing a
hospital, was the first time there was an organization for a good hospital in Miami. About
that time the Commissioner of Hospitals for Cinoinnati was in Miami, I met him and
we discussed the matter and looked at the present sits and he said 'By no means allow your
oity to put a hospital on that site as it is too small' Cincinnati at that time had.auet
issued 4700,000 for hospitals and were putting it out seven miles from the.oenter pf he
city. In St Augustine their hospital is further from the center of the pity than this
hospital would be and the same in Jaoksonville and Augusta, everywhere they are taking
the hospitals out. In New York the Chambers Street Hospital is six or seven. miles from
the others and they are pushing them out. The Dade County Medical Assn. went over the
matter thoroughly and decided unanimously, and the committee was appointed to present
the matter to council, and that location is ideal, 20 acres would be sufficient. The
architects went out and looked at the gr..unde, and they have built hospitals all over t e
Southern States, and they recommended it as ideal for a hospital. la regard to oleanin the
lots, I never saw a man clean a lot, grass it and plant trees and build kip houee,'he
builds the house first. This is to be a city hospital to take oare of poor people. If
any of you will try or give it study you will find the convalescents in any koipital ara
the patients who oost. There are a oertain number in any hospital who will be able to cq
a certain amount of work and the cleaning will not oost such a sum as we lasts bren ]0ea4 to
believe. In regard to the dump grounds, if you will turn to the etatutee .om 14eanooas
andhave been derelict in myduty, the statutes say that no- .dun grounds a�kall.'b. m; taiaed

Mr.Erfe
m`
k'Apr j1a,.20,
didn't need to build all of the plan we harts, bdt it Was a unit. plan and, .gotten up
after the medioal profession had talked about it and after 'I' had talked. to IC Gorgas,
who is an authority on troploal plane, and he said the unit plan is ideal. We can
wild a building for 24 people and add to the side, end until we oan take care of 500,
but you can't do that down on the Bay front. Great stress was laid on the lighting and
heating plant; we are buying lights now and have no heat, so we can get along. Mr.
Geiger modified the plane after the Medical 800iety went out there, and we can build
if for $34,000. without tile and it will be ample for the present. There was an
argument about the income of the oity hospital,- it was $603 and the expenses $4685.
You have no rooms in the present location and in this plan you have 18 rooms in the
administration building that will be the best private rooms in town, until you can
build the private ward unit. The more I think of that, I say all honor to the city
hospital because it spent the money for taking care of the people who .an not take oars
of themselves, and I would not be here to night if the patients Were able to pay and it
was a money making scheme; I would say pass it up to an individual. It is the unfortunate
who can not pay and ifawe never take in a cent and it costs $10,000 a year, it is all
the more reason why we need a hospital. If you will go with me some day or night, where
some life is in danger, and you oould take that man or woman to a good hospital and felt
that you could save that life instead of allowing it to remain in surroundings with
your hands tied. I am sorry for Mr. Highleyman, but he is just mistaken and I hope you
will make a motion instructing him to proceed with the ereotion of the oity hospital on
the ground seleoted. When you spend the $34,000 out there you have spent it on something
that when you spend more you are merely oompleting your plans. So far, wherever the city
started a hospital, there has never been a plane where the tourists did not add to it. The
hotel managers s4gggested a fete over here, and by next Deoember, when they oome to town,
e will have something that will get us more money, if you will keep the police away.
r. Ralston: Dr. a it not a faot that if we get a hospital with good private rooms, we
may hope for corm income?
Dr. J. I think every member of the medioal profession will be glad to patronize it if you
have good aaoomodationa, because they feel that in putting a person in there they are
elping some poor patient.
Chairman: The sooner we realize that the hospital is not a revenue produoer, the berrer of
we will be.
Dr. J: A nation's health is its greatest wealth and the beat money Miami ever spent has
een in the city board of health and the proteotion of the people's health, and the next
eat thing is to take care of the oitk. Don't ever figure it will be a revenue producer.
Mr. Romfh: About the bonds, when we wore working on the deep water proposition, I said
to seal your deep water bonds first, then the bridges and now taking the hospital, I
don't see the neoeaaity for selling those bonds right away. We have about $10,000 availabl
and I see no need of rushing it and paying interest on the money. If it is desired to go
head, a matter of $30,000 or $35,000 can be finanoed. We have six or eight thousand
in hand and the committee of citizens rained several thousand sometime ago and they will
tirn it over. I don't think there is any question about going ahead with the hospital.
tI don't think we should look at it in the matter of profit at all. I am ready to make a
motion that we advertise for bids for what we can build now. 8eoonded by L.T.Highleyman.
Mr. Romfh: If the architect will furnish the clerk with plans and apeoifioations, I would
uggeat that ..e amend the motion of Mr. Erfert and receive bids on May 18.
Mr. Erfert. I aocept the amendment. 8eoonded by C F. Filer.

Moved by H. G. Ralston, aeoonded by F. G. Erfert, that the oity set aside the west 20 aore
of the oity dump grounds for a site for the oity hospital, instead of the east 20 acres.
Motion carried.
Mr. E. F. Boss: There are several loads of rubbish that must be moved and I have a large
ole on some land adjoining the hospital and I will donate the hole.
Chairman: Thank you, but I believe the oity has several holes.
FRANCHISES AMERICAN TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY
The clerk read the following oommunioation:
Towthe Honorable, the Members
of the City Council of Miami, Florida.
Gentlemen:
nMiami, Florida, April 13, 1916.
We present herewith for your consideration and action thereon, an ordinanoe
authorizing the American Telephone and Telegraph Comply to enter your oity with its: long
distance lines for the purpose of furnishing an adequate long distance service to Key
West, Jacksonville and all important points through the Country. The line is being
constructed with oreoaoted poles and popper wires will be used. It is not our intention
to establish a local telephone exohange, but we are merely asking authority to enter your
oity for the purpose of furnishing long diatanoe service.
The writer, a representative of the company in question, is present in person at
this meeting and will be very glad to answer any questions whioh your honorable body may
desire to ask in this oonneotion.
Respeotfuliy,
W. H. Lawson, Jr."
Mr. Highleyman: It is a matter that comes before the people but I think this oounoil
should go on reoord that anything of this sort should use an underground system. We might
as well atop the use of pales right now and if this is presented to the people an under
round system should be provided for. I think it would be a mistake to allow any more
poles
..Lawson: This ordinance provides that we shall be subjeot to any ordinanoes that you may
have now or pass in future and I think that would takeF':.oare of the underground feature."We
propose to use about 600 feet on 13th Street and .if the underground area is extended
e shall be glad to comply. We will come in: on the right of way of the railroad to 13th 8t
and enter the city on that street and rebuild the line of the looal company and enter the
conduits of the local company at 13th and.A onue,D..'There are roux lines at present. The
only street we want to use now is 13th Street; I,don't: know What we will want in future
as business grows. 10 might want to on ;er fit. rtain note P, The ordinanoe practically covers
the whole town. I am assured by: Mr 00 u; Aso{, the poles ai their company.

Mr. Wharton: I am not in favoi of an additional franchise to any oompany that wbttld. want
up our paved streets.
Mr4 Lawson: That depends on the way business develops. There may be someway to get the
conduits in without tearing up the streets.
Mr. Romfb: We have one franchise out now and if they oan make arrangements with the othe
oompany and if they make ths terms too hard that oould be submitted to oounoil and we
arbitrate I certainly would not want our permanent paving out into and don't want an
more poles. Are you asking for the same franchise all along the line?
Mr. Laws.,n: Yee, sir.
Mr. Wharton: Would it be advisable for your company to enter into a contract with the
local oompany?
Mr. Lawson: We want to own our own property. The looal company has no loop for large oab
we want to control that property. It seems the ordinance oould be given first reading to
night and go into that before next meeting.
Mr. Highleyman: In case you can't make
would be to cover the oity yourself.
Mr. Lawson: No, air, we are not in the
shall not do a looal exoh ange business
we want to furnish them ourselves, but
arrangements with the looal oompany, your idea
local business; the ordinanoe provides that we
. In case the local company oan not furnish faoili
so long as they oan we will use their facilities.
Mr. Romfh: I dislike to see Zwo franchises out. The present oompany have oonduite pretty
much over the oity where we have permanent paving and they oertainly could get a contact
for the life of the franchise of the present company. We don't want poles on lath 8tree
nor in front of the Palm. We have been trying to get rid of poles. If everything is
specified underground, you oan repair permanent paving but it is not the same. We should
have a good dash bond in advanoe.
Mr. Lawson: We will give the bond or the oaeh either.
Mr. Romfh: It might be well to have the attorney go over the franchise before 1$ is
introduoed. I don't believe in rushing it through.
Mr. Wharton: We might give it first and second rea ing and then take time to go over it
thoroughly. We oan amend it on third reeding and designate oertain streets.
Atty. J. T. Sanders: I represent the local company here and speaking for that oompany I
say that we do not object at all to the company Mr. Lawson represents but we want them t
come in here as they will be a great addition to the phone service of the oity. But I am
frank to say that the ordinanoe in present condition, I think it should be referred bank
t o Mr. Lawson and with the assistance of the city attorney and someone of the council,
re -arranged. I can see where there is likely to be a misunderstanding and trouble. I
want any misunderstanding with the American Company; we want them to oome in here, but t
ordinanoe is at present a blanket ordinanoe that will be in direct oonfliot „ it appears
me, with the present oompany. This council would not pass an ordinance that, would
conflict with the vested rights of the present oompany. I think the matter should be he
up and a more satisfactory conclusion reached,- referred baok and a proper ordinanoe be
introduced. There are a number of things that I believe oould be eliminated and yet get
what both sides want.
Mr. Lawson: In what respect does it conflict with the rights of the local oompany?
Mr. Sanders: It is a blanket franchise for the entire oity.
Mr. Lawson: It is for long distance service only, service that you can not furnish.
gr. Sanders: I haven't had opportunity to study it out. It is a very important matter.
have not had a chanoe to confer with our company fully.
Mr. Lawson: Mr. Frssell told me it was all right and he had no objection.
dr. Sanders: I know he did. He possibly said it looked all right. I have not had
opportunity to study it. A franohise is a serious proposition and if it read to Dome up
13th Street and go to our offios, I would say pass it to night, but there is a great des
more to it than that, whioh I have not had a ohanoe to look into. I suppose the city
attorney wants to look into it himself.
Mr. Lawson: It could be read twice to night and held up for a weds or ten days.
Mr. Sanders: I don't want any•obstruotion plaoed in the way of this oompany and if the w
were here to night there would be no objection to going up 13th Street, but it is the bi
feature of the franohise that I have not had opportunity to ascertain just what it means
For instance, suppose the American Company should decide to put a long distance phone in
a private residence,- we want to know just where we are at. Our company has interests a
do anything that will impair the validity of our bonds. The oounoil wants to do what is
right, and I think it would be saving time to refer the ordinanoe back to a committee.
Mr Ralston: If it is the good thing it is said to be, we should accelerate it and read
twioe and refer it to a committee for investigation.
idr. Romfh. I would rather go at it as near right as we oan first and study over the amen
menta between meetings. The ordinance as it is now don't suit me. We should have some
districts eliminated or the streets specified. I would dislike to pass on an amendment a
one reading. The city attorney has not seen the ordinance and each councilman should ha
a copy and study it over and get it as near right as possible on first reading. As it is
now I would not vote for it.
gr. Lawson: It will simply facilitate getting it there. The sables must be speoially liu
we have three gangs at work on the line. We feel that Miami needs us and we need you.
.:Mr. Erfert: That is true but we don't want to hurry about giving things away. I would b
in favor of Mr. Romfh's suggestion.

SANITARY SEWERS COMPLAINT THAT DITCHES ARE NOT WET DOWN BEFORE FILLED IN
Mr. A. J..Cushman stated that the trenches along Bisoayne Drive are not being flushed
before the oontraotor fills them
Mr. Klyoe: I think this gentleman resides on Biscayne Drive; there are no fire hydrants
up there and we can not flush the ditoh. Contract oalls for the oontraotor to fluah all
ditohes within four hundred feet of a fire hydrant but there are none beyond the oemetery.
Mr. 0ishman: There is a four inch pipe line alongside of it.
Mr. Klyoe: If we oould break into the pipe that would be all right. However, all
permanent paving will be laid on oonorete base and there is no danger of a ditoh settling.
There is no way we oan make a oonneotion unless we simply break into the Water Company's
main. We always roll the streets, before we put in any kind of pavement. We have laid several
miles of sewer where there is no water main and very few have settled.
