Protest against Purchase of the Pier for $175,000.
The -Clerk read the followtrg protect against the proposed purchase, tiled by
Price, Prioe & Small: -
July 13, 1921.
Hon. City Counoi: ,
Miami, Florida.
Gentlemen:
We are representing certain tax payers who wish
to enter a protest against the purchase of Elser Pier at the
foct of 12th Street for the .exborbitant price proposed, upon
the following grounds, to-wit:-
1. Our clients feel that the price asked for
this property is excessive and exhorbitant.
2. The persona who are now seeking to sell the
property to t r e City have only an option on said property, which
expires,on gpril 1st, 1922. This option is embodied ise.five
year lease which gives to the Lessees the right to purohase
said property for 080,000.00, $5000.00 of which wee paid at
the time the lease was drawn, leaving a balancedue Rose heEigeori-
ginal Les -or, the owner _f said property,
00 If the City -purchases
r.
wife of Mathew E.�ser, of e'(,, ��0^^ • •
this property at ;'175,000.00 they are in affect paying
$95,000.OD profit to the owners of said option and to the lessee°
named in the said lease.
This property was once offered to the City by
the owners of the itee simple title to said property for
80,000.00. The tax payers, represented by us, believe that
said property can be purchased after April 1, 1922 at a price
between 0152,000.00 and 0140,000.00. The believe that oondem-
nation proceedings wcu.d save the City money as most of the real
estate men, with whom our clients lave talked, value the
said property at approximately •l?5,000.00
The building situated upon the low would be
useless to the City and .would have to be torn down at a great
expense.
