RAILROAD CROSSINGS OVER F E C TRACKS
"Miami, Oct. 11, 1916
io the Hon. City Council,
Miami, Florida.
gentlemen:
With reference to the improvement of oertain railroad crossings in your
about which there has been some correspondence between your body and oertain offiole,
of the Florida Eaet Coast Railway Company heretofore, we suggest, in order that the
matter nay be formally reduoed to writing pursuant to an understanding or agreement
heretofore made between representatives of our Company and oertain members ofmthe C1
ouneil, you adopt a resolution embodying the following provisions:
The railway oompany to construct crossings with a solid foundation at Twe
Seventh Street, Avenues B, C, D (the laet named Avenue at two points, one crossing
between Fifth and Sixth Street, and the other between Fourteenth street and the Miam
river) and the Boulevard.
we are to place the concrete foundations only at those crossings where as
foundation will not be sufficient, or where pot -holes may exist. Se understand owing
the condition of Twelfth Street that it will be necessary to install a concrete
i undation at that point.
The agreement which was made with your committee after full disoussion of
the practical phases involved in the matter, eliminates the grouting of brick
and also eliminates the laying of the ties in conorete. All of the above named
crossings, however, are to be paved with brick. The compromise agreement with your
committee also eliminates the matter of alarm signals at Avenue D, and also the' '
installation of lights over all of the above crossings.
if you will pleaee have prepared and adopted a resolution embodying the a
ideas, an.: also repeal re=olution No. 910 adopted by your body on October 7, 1915,
recorded in :Minute Book 7, page 714, and also repeal resolution adopted by your body
on the same subjeot on September 3, 1915, recorded in minute book 7, at page 654,
we will proceed forthwith to comply with the new resolution. The resolution which we
asking to have ado_‘ted is one which embodies the compromise agreement between the
.:on:-.,ittee of your council and certain officials of our company.
in order to avoid any misunderstanding, we suggest that when your attorne
has prel_reu a new resolution in conformity with the above, that the same be submitt
to us so that we may know it meets the wishes of the railway company as well as of t
city, before it is aicpted.
Very truly yours,
Shutts, Smith & Bowen"

Gentlemen:
At the recuest of ..r. Brady we have endeavored to aecure the adultional right
of way neces.>ary to eiivan;:te _he its degree curve in the municipal railway at the point o
connection wl%h the F E C tracks.
in company with the mayor we interviewed the owners of lots 8 and 9 of block 17 north.
,r. Dougnerty, the owner of lot 9, stated that he would not accept lees than 42,000. for
a etr,potr the rear of his lot, iR feet wide on the east and 40 feet wide on the w e:i.
aide; .:r., Asher, the owner of lot 8, asks the same price for a strip.18 ft wide on the
welt ani six feet wide on the east side.
.er.'Taylor, local manager of the Standard Uil Company, agreed to allow the city to move
hie unloa.,ir.g traA over to the west and reduce it in length by forty feet, which will
arable the city to connect its track with the F E C without a crossing. We have taken the
matte:• up with the F E C to secure their approval.

to near what they have to say on the subject.
Dr. Jaokaon, Pres. Boara of Health: Ar. Hignl.eyrnan insists on sticking to the budget in
health work, but Miami is building very rapidly. A few montne ago we bought 1200,garbage cans
ana rignt now aye need 1500 more, must have them. The minute you neglect your garbage
flies and mosquitoes breed and sickness follows. Two years ago we had a lqt cleaning campaign
and wanted to do so this year but there is no money. Clean the lots and oharge it to the
eroperty owners. Go down here to the green tree Inn,- the lost across the street are
grown up with weede, the man holding for a big price, and the roan next door aleane up
bu:, what is the use. It is not fair on the man next door. Just, as 'soon as your
general health oegine to so down, ail your improvements amount to noghint. You axe
aeending iaree aume for streets ana sidewalks, but if we do not have good health
tr re will be no one to use these streets. One physician in New York sent twenty ehiliren
mare last winter oeoause they could ;et pure milk. here do you get better advertising?
f ,;ca :_ it will co,3t somethin- to put tanks at the ends of our sewers to take care of
the refuse, but we must have them. Lust winter yaohtsmen left the river and went into the
oay, because of the odors,- at the unoutn of the river there is an island formed from
