PROPOSED WIDENING OF STREET
Request was made that the Commission pass a resolution authorizing oondemnation pro-
oeedings for the widening of this street. The Oity Attorney stated that he had a
talk with Judge Armstead Brown and it was not understood just what the property own-
ers contemplated doing in regard to the widening of this street. Mr. J. E. Luxnmua
stated that he was opposed to the passage of suoh a resolution at this time, and
thought that the matter should be gone into more fully, looked at from different an-
gles, and no notion taken until funds were available for oarrying it out onoe it was
started. This was the sense of the entire Commission and no aotion was taken at this
time.
REQUEST op DR. WRITE
PERMISSION TO ERECT TEMPORARY STRUCTURE
} Rev. J. L. White appeared before the 0ommission and requested that he be granted a
permit to erect temporary wooden struoture on the Central Grammar Sohool grounds be-
tween the Francis Hotel and the Central Grammar Sohool, for the purpose of evangeli-
cal meetings to be held. Rev. White was told by the Chairman of the Board that the
Commission oould not see its way clear to allow this struoture to be ereoted at this
looation on a000unt of being a fire hazard, and that he felt eure there would be ob-
jeotione to this building being placed there, and in all probability he would be en-
joined from finishing it should it be started. Mr. White was offered the use and per-
mission to build such a struoture on the City Park grounds opposite the. Miami Hi,.,.
Sohool
REQUEST OF C. S. YORK
FOR REFUND OF LICENSE FEE
Mr. C. S. York appeared before the Commission and asked that he be refunded a lioense
fee of $100 paid by him for Soliciting orders from house to house, stating that he
was under the impression that the house for which he was oanvassing would reimburse
him for the amount paid for the license, but after taking it up with them they would
not allow him the amount paid. Mr. York said he would be willing to discontinue the
soliciting if this license fee would be refunded, as it was impossible for him to
make enough to pay it himself and felt sure that he was not worth that amount to the
house for which he was soliciting. This was granted and Mr. York directed to take
the matter up with the Director of Finanoe.
