Oity Manager,
City of Miami, Fla.
Dear Sir: -
We are greatly handicapped in our inspeotion work by lack of a
Ford Car, to sever the eutlyinp districts.
:;e have from six to twelve malls per day for an inspector, and some
of tLese are several :piles apart, and if the inspector in compelled to walk
or deuend or. street cars or ;'itneys it takes all day to answer three or four
courlaint:., on' ..ith 'his lot cleaning campaign, there will be innumerable
complaints of over grown vacant lots.
We or:l:• have two regular inspectors and one man is kept busy con-
tinually ir: the ::ercantile District, and at that, does not cover the terri-
tory more they: once a week. Therefore the outlying districts are not thoroly
insr.ected, except twice e year, as the Code provides.
