ORDERING PAVING OF ALLEY IN BLOCK 99 SOUTH UPON PETITION OF PROPERTY OWNERS
The property owners in Block 99 South presented communication to the City Commission re -
guesting the paving of a twenty (20) foot alley running north and south through said Blook,
which on motion of J. I. Wilson, seconded by J. H. Gilman, was received and filed and ordet-
ed spread upon the minutes:
TO THE OITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA:
Gentlemen:
The undersigned property owners in Block 99 South respectfully
request that the alley twenty feet wide running North and South thru
said Block be paved with six inch rock and two applications of oil,
according to the statement prepared by the Director of Finance, and
that the cost thereof be assessed against the adjoining property own-
ers as provided for by the City Charter.
Block 99 South is one of the highest blocks in the City and it
is difficult for some of the property owners, and impossible for oth-
ers, to arrange for traffic from the front of the lots, and such traf-
fic can only be had through the allay. Such improvement would add
materially to the value of all of the lots in the block, and the pro-
perty owners are willing to pay for such improvement.
respectfully,

OPINION OF CITY ATTORNEY RE: BAY FRONT PROPERTY
The City Attorney presented to the Commission written communication under date of March 12,
1923, in reference to the Bay Front Property, which' on motion of J.-E. LumMus, seconded by
J. I. Wilson, was received and ordered spread upon the minutes:
The City Commission,
Miami, Florida.
Gentlemen:- Re: Bay Front Property
The question arose at your last information meeting as to the right of
the City of Miami to authorize the Angler's Club, the Yacht Club and others,
to ereot buildings upon any part of the water front property, and requested
that I advise you in reference to the legal right of the City to give such
permission.
The records show that by quit claim deed of June 1921 by and between the
City of Miami, party of the first part, and the Florida East Coast Railroad
Company, party of the second part, that the Railroad Company oonveyed to the
City all of its right, title and interest in and to a described parcel of up-
land and submerged land between Second and Third Streets and between the South
line of Sixth Street and the South line of Eighth Streete, and in return for
the same the City conveyed the property between Third Street and the South
line of Sixth Street.
During a previous administration bonds were voted in the sum of one mil-
lion dollars and this money was paid for the property, the upland and submerged
land, between Eighth Street and Fourteenth Street, excepting therefrom the pro-
perty known as E].ser Pier.
In the case of the Florida East Coast Railroad Company versus Worley, 38
So. Rep. page 618, decided in 1905, the Supreme Court held that the paroel of
land lying between Biscayne Drive and the bay, extending from a line drawn `
across the strip at a point opposite the center of Seventh Street to similiar
line drawn across the strip opposite the center line of Third Street, was de-
dicated as a public park, but that the balance of the strip, together with all
riparian rights incident and appurtenant to the entire strip were reserved from
dedication and constitute private property.
The City acquired from the Florida East Coast Railroad Company the proper-
ty between Second and Third Streets and between the South line of Sixth Street
and the South lino of Eighth Street, and in return for the name the City convey-
ed to the Railroad Company the property between Third Street and the South line
of Sixth Street.
Under this purchase from the Railroad Company of the property between the
South line of Sixth Street and the South line of Eighth Street, the City got all
of the property, both the upland and the submerged land, but inasmuch as the Su-
preme Court held that the property between Bisoayne Drive and the bay, the up-
land between the center of Seventh Street and the center of Third Street was
dedicated as a park, it is clear that the city, notwithstanding its purchase from
the Railroad Company, could not use the upland between Sixth and Seventh Streets
for anything but park purposes, but it may use the submerged land and the ri-
parian rights in front of the upland between Sixth and Seventh Streets for any
lawful purpose. The title to all the property between Seventh and Eighth Streets,
both upland and submerged land, is in the City which has absolute fee to the whole.
Now, in summary, we have this situation: the upland, that is the land be-
tween Bisoayne Drive and the present line of the bay, is owned by the City for
park purposes, but it may and can extend from the present line to the line es-
tablished by the Government and such filled -in land can be used by the City for
any lawful purpose, and all the land between Seventh and Eighth Streets, both
upland and submerged land, can be used by the City for any lawful purpose.
In speaking of property between Sixth and Eighth Streets, I mean property
extending from the center line of Sixth Street to the center lihe of Eighth Street.
Respectfully submitted,

A verdict was rendered in the above ease on ?larch e2nd, 1922, for
$45,000, as against all of the defendants. Appeal was taken to the Supreme
Court by all of the defendants and I have just received official notice from
the dlerk of the supreme court that the oourt has ordered that if the plain-
tiff, Mrs Firth, within thirty days, remits 42600 of the damages awarded the
judgment will stand affirmed for 42500, and that otherwise the judgment will
stand reversed for a new trial.
The plaintiff will enter the remittiter in which event the judgment will
stand in her favor against the three defendants for the sum of 42500.00.
Ordinance No. 334 approved July 8th, 1920, authorized the execution of
a contract between the City and the Postal Telegraph Company authorizing the
latter to lay its pipea,wires and conduits in the City and the ordinanoe set
forth the contract between the City and the Postal Telegraph Company.
Under Paragraph 3 of that contract, as se,t forth in the ordinances, the
Postal Telegraph Company agreed to save and hold the City harmless'for any '
damage which the City might be required to pay, resulting from the laying of
the wires, poles, or conduits of the Company in the streets of the City of Miami.
March 8th, 1923.
March.13, 1923.
I have written to Messrs. Hudson & Caeon, attorneys for the Postal
Telegraph Company, requesting that their client take the proper steps
to relieve the City of the payment of this judgement, and,I expect 'to
hear from them in due course.

The following communication from the City Attorney in referenoe to the case of Mrs. Alice
Pitcher, was, on motion of J. I. Wilson, seconded by J. R. Gilman, reoeived and ordered
spread upon the minutes:
March 12th, 1923.
The City Commission,
Miami, Florida.
Gentlemen: -
At your last meeting Mr. A. W.Corbett appeared before you in refer-
ence to a claim of Mrs. Aline Pitcher. According to an abstract it appears that
Mrs. Pitcher acquired property from Tom Mitchell February'22nd, 1906, Tom Mit-
chell havinpreviously acquired the property from the Fort Dallas Land Company.
Afterwards, on November 18th, 1913, the City of Miami entered suit against Ver-
non Price -Williams, Phillip Ullendorf and Mrs. Alice Pitcher, asking for an in-
junction against the defendants for obstructing Avenge "B" between Fifth and
Sixth Streets, and that they be enjoined from interfering with the City in open-
ing the Streets.
That particular part of Avenue "B" where this lot was situate was clos-
ed by ordinance by the City Council. the City's position was that the original
dedication showed that Avenue "B" was dedicated as a public street and that the
ordinance closing the same was void.
The City's contention sustained, the injunction issued and Avenue "B"
etas opened. The Port Dallas Land Company reimbursed Mrs. Pitcher in the sum of
4169.00 which was paid by Tom Mitchell when he acquired the property from the
Fort Dallas Land Company. Jars. Pitcher paid Tom Mitchell 4600.00 for the proper-
ty and she has paid City taxes with sewer assessment amounting to $47.18.
I submit this to you for consideration in event you desire to make
any reimbursements to Lars. Pitcher.

ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATION FOR SEWAGE DISPOSAL PLANT 110.000 FROM BOND FUND
The City Manager presented communication to the Commission under date of March 13th, 1923,
to which was attached communication to the City Manager from Harold H. Munday, Architect,
under date of March 8th, 1923, in reference to the construction of the Sewage Disposal
Plant, and on motion of E. C. Romfh, seconded by J. E. Lummus, the said communications

To the City Commission,
Miami, Florida.
GENTLEMEN: -
Miami, Florida,
March 13, 1923.
0n Jan. 2nd you passed Resolution No. 602 authorizing the City Man-
ager to oonetruot by day labor a sewage disposal plant according to plans
and specifications and estimates of H. H. Monday, architect, and limited
the amount to be spent for such purpose to $10,000.00.
I find this amount entirely inadequate as it will take double that
amount of money to build this sewage disposal plant. I, therefore, ask
that an additional $10,000 be allowed to complete the plant. I attaoh
hereto a letter from the architect more in detail the oost of this work.
Respeo tfully,
F. H. WHARTON -
City Manager

Hon. Frank H. Wharton,
City Manager',
Miami, Florida.
Miami., Florida,
March 8, 1923.
In re: Sewerage Disposal Plant (at City leak).
S'ir:
In connection with the above building your attention is directed to
the necessity for an additional appropriation to carry on this work.
The present appropriation while it is quite sufficient for the build-
ing as planned, is found to be entirely inadequate for the completion of
the building and the subaqueous foundations that are required to safely
sustain the building on the site.
The stimated cost of 07,000.00 for the building did not include these
extraordinary foundations and it was so stated when the work was authorized.
After such authorization the site was definately located and then soundings
were made for the purpose of determing the character of the subsoil and the
foundations necessary for the support of the building upon the pits chosen.
The present appropriation is $10,000.00
Approximate expenditures to date $8,500.00
I understand, however, that of this sum the orders for materials to be
used in the building, exclusive of the foundations, amount to 3,750.00
I therefore suggest that in view of the fact that this foundation work
is not yet fully completed and that if this work is to be entirely governed
by stated appropriation, then inasmuch as we have been compelled by condi-
tions of the site tb build a cofferdam in which the displacement of water
alone amounts to 721 tons withheld by 200 lineal feet of cofferdam 6" thick
driven to a depth of 20 feet and the excavation to a depth of 10 feet below
tide required by reason of the depth of the street sewer amounte to 1650
yards, and while we are working in accordance with the best practical methode
and engineering practice and successfully operating against a head of 10
feet of water, under such conditions there is no absolute assuranoe against
failure when the bottom is composed of soft silt and loose boulder rooks.
Therefore, I request a further appropriation of 40,000.00, Since the City
Purchasing Department has control of all expenditures, I believe that the,
appropriation should be made, especially so if stated appropriations are to
govern work of this oharaoter.
