Gentlemen:
-
I am returning herewith to your honorable body,
with my approval, Ordinance *2S1, same being an Ordinance nTo
Amend Section *l of an Ordinance entitled, An Ordinance Fixing
The Salaries of certain officials and employees of the City of
Miami, Florida.
I beg to say to your honorable body that, I
approved this Ordinance supply because the salary was fixed when
I assumed my duties and because it effects me only. I do not in
any manner approve of fixing the salary of the Mayor of Miami at
075.00 per month.
The Mayors duties in Miami require about all his
time. He cannot attend to any other business as a means of
support andtproperly and efficiently attend to the duties of the
Mayor's office. His duties take him nearly every day all over the
City. He has inquiries to answer daily, and in a City growing as
Miami is, these inquiries concerning various'.�Ordinanoes etc., are
increasing. He must keep in touch with every department and must
see that the Ordinances are enforced. Further, at this time during
the war helrepresenting the United States Government in various
ways by virtueof his being Mayor.
In Miami the Mayor must furnish his own office.
True, we have the 4 x 6 "Hole in the wall" at the City building.
This room is altogether inadequate and I am forced to supply and
furnish a room myself in order to properly attend to the duties
of the office.
am not sending this ormmunioation to effect
my salary, as shall serve the balance of the tern and do ray
full duty et 75.00 per month but whoever suaeeeds me as Mayor
should receive not less than $200.00 per month and be required
to`put :in the time,
