CHARTER AMENDMENTS COMMUNICATIONS FROM CITY ATTORNEY The City Attorney presented communications, under date of April 3rd, addressed .to the City Commission in referenoe to Charter Amendments, which, on motion of J. 1. Wilson, eeobnded by E. O. Romfh, were ordered received, filed and spread upon the minutes: Miami, Florida, April 3rd, 1923. The City Commission, Miami, Florida, Gentlemen: - In re: Charter Amendments. The amendments to the City Charter heretofore propoeed were published for the purpose of giving all the publicity possible of the intention of the Commission to apply to the Legislature for the passage of the proposed amendments. There is not sufficient time in which to pu- blish notice of the amendment to Section 3 (j), and the proposed amendment in reference to oharging admission fees for parks, concerts, games and contests, and it is not legally necessary that such notice should be given. Seotion 21 of Article 3 of the Constitution provides for the giving of notioe.of special or looal legislation, but the Supreme Court in the oase of The State vs. 'County Com- missioners of Duval County, 23 Fla. 483, 3 So. 193, and also in the case of Middleton vs. St. Augustine, 42 Fla. 287, 29 So. 421, holds that special legislation in refer- ence to cities and towns may be enacted at any session of the Legislature without giving the notice provided for by Section 21 of Artiole 3 of the Constitution so that it ie not legally necessary in order that these.amendments be passed that published nutice thereof be given.
