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.
