Gentlemen:
t
During the eaet few weeks we have found it necessary, in order to take oare

to the police force:
G. V. Bishop, plain clothes man; W. A. Loftin, traffic; Z. S. Phillips,
Frank Lund, 9. G. Ritchie, G. A. Singletarry and T. P. Caswell.
Some of these men have been assigned to special work, requiring them to
serve lone hours, and others are men of experience having served on the force
heretofore end it is re.;uested that in such cases as the mayor and police commission r
not e
may decide to be warranted and in order to secure competent men, authority be riven o

DRIDGE17 OVER THE M;IAMI RIVER CONIDITION OF TEMPORARY BRIDGES AT 12th ST AND
"Miami, April 5, 1917.
The Hon. City Council,
Gentlemen:
I have recently repaired the Avenue D bridge and the 12th Street bridge
and they are nowin ae .good order as it is possible to place them without considerabl
expense. I would advise that heavily loaded trucks be required to pass over these
bridges at a low rate of epeed. If this meets the approval of the council, it will
be necessary to station a policeman at each of these bridges to enforoe this order,
as it is inposeible for the bridge tenders to do so as they have to see to the opera
of the bridge and are not able to leave the bridge under any circumstances.
As the steel for the 12th Street beirgd is beginning to wive and this
bridge will probably be in use in a short time, I would reeomeend that -when this bri
is opened that all heavy traffic be required to use this bridge.
Respectfully submitted,
Chas. W. Murray,
City Engineer.
On motion duly made and carried the oommunioation was referred to the mayor.

Mr. Wharton: That is the worst nuisanoe in the city,- people have been a1rOst run
out of house and home and houses around there oan not be rented. Something will have
to be done.
7.r. Cason: They have a contract with the city but I understand have closed down at
the request of the Board of Health,- their oontract provides they shall be subject
to the rules and regulations of the Board of Health,. and I understand they closed down on
receiving word from the Health Officer. If there is matter left on the premises that
creates an odor, the best way is for the city to move it - you oan make them move it but
I think you might clean up and assess them. It is a corporation and I think they have
abandoned it, and it would be difficult to rea.h the individuals. Dr. Peters called me
and said they had closed down.
: r. Wharton: I don't think they have closed down altogether.
Yr. Cason: The police oan go and arrest then: for mai tai,ninG a nuisance,
• Romfh: There is a regular procedure in the Charter. The Board of Health can ive them
24 hours notice and if they don't clean up we oan do it and assess the cost against the
property and Get our money back. We are spending a great deal of money on the Board
of Health. Why don't they look after these things?
Mr. Erfert: That whole thin` was turned over to the Board and they should look after it
and clean it up and not worry council with such matters. If the Board wants to turn it
back on us, all right, but what is the Board doing?
Mr. Romfh: That Board of Health is costing the city about ';2500. per month and they ought
to do something.
On motion duly made end carried, the petition was referred to the mayor and city attorney.
OPENING STREETS EXTENSION OF GARDNER STREET THROUGH BAYONNE PLACE ANTCORAL PARK
BY CONDEMNATION OF LOT 6 of BLOCK 1, BAYONNE PLACE AND LOTS 11 & 12
OF CORAL PARK
"?.larch 2E, 1917.
Hon. 'ity Council of the City of Miami,
We, the undersigned, hereby respectfully petition that the city I
institute proce::dinas in the courts for the purrose of condemning lot 6 of block 1 of Bayq$a
Place and Lots 11 and 12 cf Coral Park, for street rurroses in order that Gardner "t. in ,
Edeetiter may be extended south through Bayon Place and Coral Park to connect with
O'Peily St in Miramar, thus re1ievir.r.'Biscayne Drive of its pr sent congested condition,
and being of Great benefit to property owners in the Northern part of the city.
Signed, San.. T. Young and about 35 others.
:r. Wharton: I have looked over the matter. All of the subdivisions east of Biscayne
Drive come together, of course, but there is no roadway from one to the other. When we
were oilir.2 the .irive the people along the Eay had no way to get in or out. If this propawty
is condemned for the entension.of Gardner St. it will make a parallel drive from
Miramar North. When we beiin to pave Biscayne Drive it will be necessary to have some
way for the people to s:et it and out. I don't know what lots are worth in there but it i0,
necessary if the city is able to buy it
'.:r. A. J. Cushman: The lot necessary to get the street thrcu_h Bayonne Place has just been
sold and the buyer is going to put up a concrete dwelling and what is done will have to ba'l
lone soon. Bayonne 2ubdivision is only about 200 feet and Coral Park about 220, and that
would eive us a roadway from Drake's place on the north ri,eht through to the proposed
Boulev.r:i extension along the nay shore.
':r. Romfh: I thick we should do that; believe we, should condemn it.

SUITS CLAIM OF %:ATHEW ELSFR THAT THE CITY HAS ENCROACHED ON HIS PROPERTY AT THE
FOOT OF TWFLFTH STREET v'HEN THE BOULEVARD AND TWELFTH STREET WERE PAVED MITE
ASPHALT.
"Miami, Fla. March 23, 1917.
For sometime the claim of ':athew Elser against the city has been
unsettled. As you will recall you have appropriated a part of Mr. Elser'e property
at the feet of 12th Street for street purposes, and have paused a permanent paving t
be placed on same. This was done at a time when he was absent from the city.
We have several times talked over the question of settlement in regard to thi
end the matter has been locked over by your engineer and dock oommiseioner. Mr. Else
at first d emended 12,000. for the value of the property taken from him. He has autho
us to say however, that if you will release any claim you have against him by reason
ravine of said street, and will pay him 11,000. he will call the matter square. Othe
wise Y.e has instructed us to bring legal proceedings to recover that portion of the
land taken from him as aforesaid.
Yours very truly,
Price & Flies."
::r. Ceeon: That batter was referred to me sometime ago and I took it up several time
with ::r. Price over the telephone and we a.. anged once o twice to get together and
t..lk the m tter over but never did it owin: to Mr. Price' s crowded calendar and I
presume he has overlooked it in the meantime. I will be clad to go into it with him any
time and then report to council.
'r. Price: I went over the ground onoe with Mr. Klyoe, and ? think Mr. Wharton and, 4
1 understood it, the r. e: . a .. . w ' •�_' ,.) . :,; t• 'd'�)'_,• t.) .f..r ')^ Ie...;

end which his deed covers. As a matter of fact the deed covers all of the street buti!
by is not claiming anything except that portion taken by the city when the street waS
paved. If someone has power to aet I will be glad to'alk it over, otherwise there' is not
Much to gain. '
:.:r. Romfh: I think I Was sown there onoe. The matter watia referred to tine city attor4y
to find out hoe much of the property wee properly the street,- it has been a street
for years, ever since I have been here.

valuable but out en the street not so much so. I wculd sa.y if the city would rel'levei

iitl at aye&hind 6i4 t,
Mr. Price: I was anxious that we have a full meeting to night so that this
ORDINANCE NO. 235
could be either passed or defeated. A lama portion of the citizens and tourists ..re
interested,- I presume fully 3Or': of the tourists are members or supporters in some way of th
Catholic Church. As indicated by the letters I have read to you, it is attacks made upon
the Church and the priesthood and members that induced this ordinance. The ordinance has
been attacked, not only by one of the papers bet by a number of the ministers of the town,
think by them on account of a mis-understanding of the true intent of the ordinance. Our
constitution provides that truth can always be introduced as a defense, truth and good
motives. I have incorporated in the ordinance as mannded, the constitutional atendmente:
:;r. Price here read the following:
Provided, however, that this ordinance shall not apply to any utterances,
expressions or declarations made by any duly licensed, ordained or authorized
minister of the eospel stationed or located in the City of Miami while a.ddrese-
ing his own denomination.
Provided furtheraore that any person accused of violating this Act may offer in
defense evidence to show that the statement', utterances or expressions made by
him were true, and that same were uttered from good motives; and where such
evidence shall be sufficient to raise in the mind of the court a reasonable doubt`
as to the guilt of the accused, the defendant shall be discharged.
That exepte the ministers. It has boon published in one of the papera that a.nyoneeca.n be
arrested under the slander laws of the state - the only criminal prosecution that will lief
in the state is when a man: imputes to aL woman want of chastity. One .i n may call another
enythine he pleases. He can be sued for da:tnaages but not prosecuted criminally. The
ministers can not oppose it as it stands nor do I believe any paper can oppose it. It onZ
strikes the man who makes statements of a slanderous character against a sect who atend ve 1
in the oorn:nunity; who do their part as citizens and g,o out in time of war and rrotect the
flag. This is not aimed at any minister,- there has never been a minister, in his pulpit,
:r:aa.ae . statement that was objectionable toe Catholic, but the man who magic s exfreeeions
highly derogatory to members of the Catholic.Church, priests and nuns. I mieht & d if
this wes reversed and this set of men who charge priests with being ;~hore::on;ers ant that
the nuna are whores, without knowine the truth, I say, under these circumita,nces, if this
thine were reversed ,and someone would come in and derbounce the Baptists, ''ethodists
and Presbyterians, do you suppose they would stand by and say 'Let theta; alone, we believe
in the freedom of speeoh'?. I happen to Dome from Texas, and when Brann of the
Icpnoclest, attacked a Baptist institution at Waco, he published statements, whether trueI'
or not I don't know, but they ware libeelious upon a whole college end the r:eople of the i
stet:, both \ethodists and Baptists, condemned the expressions, end I didn't hear as singly.
Baptist say 'Let him a alone . And the vary e,rtieies published in t?scat leaner caused the
killin- of nine man in Waco within a few weeks. The only ?any possible that eeo.i order I`
ca<n bar eeinteinea in any community is by heviee laws that protect everyone. I weul 1 not
look uaon it «itlr favor if it were an attack upon Protestant temor 1netiens and my
ex; :rienoe is, Catholica are la,wabidino citizens, attend to their own business end ere
el eye fcret_.cst in every work of charity. I went this to be paas.eelupon by the '.mole
council end ea coin- to ask that it be passed over until i. can be taken up and eunsilered '
by e full meeting. I believe the ordinance is a good one, es it does not aj4:ly to anyone
except the ::;an who makes remarks that he caa.n not bade or by proving the truth, because if
he can he loes nct v_olete the law.
r, Porcfh: I think this ordinance has had a great deal of publicity and this nieetino of
council had a ,rent deal of publicity, and I don't see why we should either delay peaeing
or killing the ordinance until another meeting. Personally, I think if they went auch an
ordinance as that, it should be oh the statute books at Tellaahassee and not come before
the city council. It his caueei a great veal of contention here end I'r;;.nt to aey ti,a..t it
salon: for the pessa;,e Of that ordinance, there has been only one men to see me end he is I,
from At.aa,ntio City I think - he has been very urgent, eeoroaohine me two or three times
eeklnx for it, and I have not had one of the home people to wok me. The petitions i.reeented
didn't ask for it ,and I aaa opposed to its paa,asa,ge and will vote against it, but I think
council should take it up and dispose of it and not lave it a matter to be agitate for a ;
month or six weeks forger.
:,:r. Erfert: I wish to differ with Mr. Romfh: I think this whole council eheuin core up
and be responsible end not dodge. They can be here. Filer was here and he couldn't at.y.
There is he now. They ere ell afaaid to vote. Yellow streak. I an here to vote if it cores
up but would like for the others to take the same responsibility.
Mr. Romfh: L n't you think it should be brought up and die, osed of?
r, Erfert: Yes, but get all n:eebers of council here end let them shore responsibility.
':r. Romfh: They knew it was corning up.
Mr. Wherton: When this ordinance was broutht up a year ago I opposed it. And being brought
up aoein I will,oppoee it stronger than ever (Very loud cheers from audience) I wee we t to
take this opportunity to rza..ke ak few rer,;arke, I believe it ' is called personal privilege at
' Te.11aa_haseeye. When this was brought up about a year ego I took a stand against it, not that'•
I hive anything ageinat any Catholic in Miami. But durine the course cf my remarks, I
ws,s beady mis;uoteu and I h pe that who ever did so on that occasion will not repeat it
• to night. Of course et that tiae politics ware in the air end I presume it was done for
political purposes. I have no ill feeling, in fact no feeling at all - some of the best
friends I have in Miami belong. to the Catholic Church, they ere eood citizens, but I thine
it very unwise to eeein attempt to bring this ordinance up and stir up strife among cur
citizens. It will stir up more strife, ten times, than any Billy Parker ever did stir tip:,
I em opposed to thr principle of attemptin_ to in any way muzzel free speeoh or yhe free '
press. I believe in everyone havine; the opportunity, the law permitting, to express
theaselvea about any tatter they choose to. I don't believes that false accusation ever
does an orgaanization or an individual any harm. I feel like Mr. Romfh,- this thing hey
bean hanging firs for the last three or four weeks and I know that every met:.ber of eaueoil,
hake been besieged from time to time about it. I have had about a dozen come to sea ee ..bolt
it, one way and another, and I think the present the opportune time to dispose of it ens
stop diasention. The ordinance is drawn, es I understand it, to be handled under _relies
authority for the good order, etc. of the city, but I want to say this: If any aoteker
coaea to 'Miami the Chief of Police nor anyone else oan tell him he can't spe:.k bac.a.uee it
is not know wh..t will be said, and a person could not be arrested until he made cone
statement that the Chief or policemen thought a breach of the law and I want to tell you
rieht now that when you go to arrest a man making a public speech, you are liable to irkve
a riot on your hands, Sovl feel the ordinance will cause more trouble than we :wall have

to be the only one holding out. He owns two lots and is fixing to build an apartment'
house and his foundation starts right on the lot line and if we are to do anything
we will have to take action. if the street is to be widened out. It is only five fee.
and I don't believe any jury will give him very much especially when everyone else has
donated.
