MUNICIPAL CHANNEL ACROSS BISCAYNE BAY PROPOSITION TO SELL ROCK IN SPOIL BANK
REPORT OF RANDOLPH & COMPANY UPON THE sttok,TN.G.
IN THE CHANNEL AS FOUND BY GOVERNMENT EtialTaRS
"Chicago, May7, 1917.
Mr. W. B. Moore,
City Clerk,
Miami, Fla.
Dear Sir: -
I have your favor of the 2nd inst/ quoting from the letter of Lt. Coy.. W«,B
Ladue, in regard to channel and turning basin excavation. A copy of this letter,:th'tKe
accompanying blue prints, was received at our Chicago office, and on April`.28th I 0414
on Col. Ladue and had a talk with him.
He said that there was nothing that he would oall upon the city to do. at this time
as the minor deficiencies did not oall for immediate oorreotion. He said that hie -assistant
Mr. Gatkis, advised him that in the instances where depth was insufficient along the north edge
of the ohannel, the condition was caused by the waehing in of material. I sug*este the,
propriety of doing nothing unless the city is oalled upon to do further work, under i:tg
agreement to maintain depths for three years. He said that this would be satisfaotory.
I raised the question of releasing the bond. He said that under-t,e ruing: of
the Judge Advocate General (I think it was he who made the ruling) the bond Ootild not be
released, even if the work met every requirement. An examination of the trees seotionO
sutmitted shows a much greater average depth than the 18-8/10 feet, which.we were to
provide, in other words a much greater amount of excavation than the oity was, obliged. to_pay
for, o)did pays for.
In regard to the track into the look, I am 5,atisfied that the city can not 0
better than to accept the proposal submitted by Joseph Gladden, a copy of which I enclose,
aggregating $3682.45. The J. T. Morgan and Company bid foots up 6043.'50. In times like.
these, estimates based on the exerienoe of prices in previous years are absolutely us (ep.eas.
Respectfully submitted,
Isham Randolph."

To the Hon. Mayor and City Counoil,
Miami, Florida.
Gentlemen:
With reference to the removal of the spoil bank
to prevent the erosion of the material ani the consequent
to inform you that we are in a position to use upwards of

In this connection we would be glad to enter into a contraot:
for the removal of a minimum of one hundred thousand oubio yards of t.:r
city of Miami ten cents per nub io yard for every yard of rook so rertiOv ;
privilege to utilize all of the rook on the spoil bank .that oan be :ttsoOL
purposes.
Our reason for asking exclusive privilege is based on the Pao.t I
end care must be exercised in theremoval of• this material to prevent: ;te
filling the channel, and a: we have suitable equipment to take oare.aft
rook, as well as excavating any material that might accidentally ta1.1•`
would not care to obligate ourselves in conserving the ship channel aho;
besides ourselves be permitted to remove any of the rook.
Furthermore, it is very essential and to the city's intereate:
spoil bank be removed below .the high water mark until such time as the..QI
is constructed and prevents the water from flooding across. To perzrtm
the spoil bank would create havoo with the oity ohannel, washing the`ap0
and as we have the contract for the causeway, we would agree not to romp
below the highwater mark, except in the wake of the oaueeway bulkheat ti
has been completed sufficiently to proteot the ollannel.

almost one fourth the cost of the truck -oiler; and if we are to•• continue build4.g their:€ '.
oiled streets, we will have to get the equipment to maintain them,- spread the -o;1,<arid.'
we are not using this for spreading oil we can lift the tank off and use it for hauling
