Seotion 81. No exclusive franchise or extensipn or re-
newal thereof shall ever be granted.
Section 9. In addition to the powers heretofore conferred upon the
said City of Miami, the said City of Miami shall have power:
In making the collection of assessments for the cost of
improvements for whose cost bonds shall be contracted to be
sold after the taking effect of this Act, to keep the assess -
ments so collected in separate funds in accordance with the
provisions of Section 56 of the City Charter or to place the
same in a single new fund properly designated, which new fund
shall be pledged to and used solely for the payment of the
principal and interest of all bonds that may be issued under
Section 56 of the City Charter for the construction of the im-
provements for which the assessments to be placed in such new
fund were made until all of said bonds and interest shall have
been fully paid.
In assessing the cost of improvements as defined in Sec-
tion 56 of the City Charter or by this Act, to make allowanoes
and grant credit to property owners for improvements previous-
ly made by such property owners to the extent, and only to the
extent,that said existing improvements shall be of value and
utility as a part of the improvements for which such assess-
ment is made, and to prescribe a plan or system for fixing and
determining said allowance and credits.
In the a::sesaments of lands within the City of Miami for
taxation, whenever any such land shall have been surveyed or
subdivided :and platted into small tracts designated as lots or
Blocks or otherwise, and the owner of any land embraced in the
said survey or subdivision shall have recognized such survey
or subdivision by reference thereto in making any conveyance
of land therein, or by selling any land therein by reference
thereto, then, and in that event, the land embraced in suoh
subdivision may be described for assessment purposes by refer-
ence to such subdivision whether any plat thereof shall have
been recorded or not.
The City Commission of said City shall have power to
cause lateral connections and building oonneotions for sewer -
Lige purposes to be made and to provide for the payment of tie
cost thereof.
The term "laterals" when used in this section shall be
J
11111/11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111,111111111111
donatrued to mean those laterals extending from any sanitary ser-
vice newer or storm aewer to the line of the adjacent property or
to the ourb line, as the City Commission may prescribe.
The term "Building Connections" shall be construed to mean
the oonneotions extending from the said laterals at the property
line or at the curb line to the house or plumbing fixtures on the
property to be served.
The City Commission shall provide for the location or later-
als in such manner as to provide sufficient sewer outlets for all
property so far as they may find the same necessary and practi-
cable.
The said laterals may be constructed as a part of any new
sanitary or storm sewer improvements made under the provisions of
Seotion56 of the City Charter. If said improvements be the con-
struction of a sanitary sewer, all the cost of the laterals shall
be added to that part of the cost of the sanitary sewer which is
to be assessed against abutting property in proportion to frontage,
under said Section 56, in determining the amount of the cost of
such sewer improvement to be borne by the abutting property. If
such improvement be the construction of a storm sewer, one-third of
the cost of the laterals and of the storm sewer, with a proportion-
ate part of the incidental expenses, shall be borne by the City, and
the remainder shall be apportioned between the lots and parcels of
land within the storm sewer district, in proportion to, and not in
excess of the special benefit received. These provisions relate to
the preliminary assessment roll provided for in said Section 56,
and do not restrict the City from paying a larger share of such
cost. The said laterals may also be constructed as a separate im-
provement or improvements, where they are to connect with sani-
tary or storm sewers theretofore laid without such connections, in
which case the cost of each lateral shall be paid by the owner of the
premises to which, or to the curb line of which, it is constructed,
and shall constitute a lien upon such premises; or, at the option of
the City Commission, all or any laterals that are practically uni-
form in cost and kind may be included in one improvement, and the
total cost of such improvement and incidental expenses may be assess-
ed upon and approtioned between the lots and parcels of land with
which or with the curb line of which, the laterals are connected,
in proportion to, and not in excess of, the special benefits receiv-
ed, in the manner and with the effect provided by Section 56 of the
Charter, for the apportionment of the expense of a storm sewer im-
provement.
Where laterals shall have been constructed, the City Commis-
sion may require property owners to connect their premises with
the laterals and may provide by general ordinance that in case of
their refusal after notice given, the said connection shall be made
by the City and that the cost thereof shall constitute a lien upon
the house, land and premises thereby affected. The notice last
above provided for may be by service on the owner of the property
or the agent who collects his rents, or the occupant of said proper-
ty, or in the case the said property is unimproved, by posting such
notice on the property.
The City Commission shall have power to authorize and require
the use of surface privies and cesspools or other devices for the
disposal of sewage where connection with sanitary service sewers is
deemed by the City Commission to be impracticable, and to regulate
and control the location, construction, maintenance, care and use
of the same and to compel the payment of said City of reasonable
charges for its sanitary services in connection therewith, and to
make the said charges a lien upon the houses, lands and premises ser-
ved. 0r the City Co:mission shall have power where connection with
sanitary service sewers is deemed by the City Commission to be prac-
ticable, to prohibit, destroy and forbid the use of surface privies
and cesspools and all other devices for the disposal of sewage ex-
cept sanitary service sewers.
The assessments and charges in this seotion provided for, shall
constitute liens, all of which shall be of the same nature,and to
the same extent, as the lien for general city taxes, and such liens
shall date from the date of the .passage of the resolution, ordering
the improvements, or where, under the provisions of Section 56 of
the City Charter, such resolution must he confirmed by another reso-
lution, then from the date of the passage o'f such confirmatory reso-
lution. Such liens shall be collectible in the same manner and with
the same penalties, and under the same provisions as to sale and for-
feiture as city taxes are collectible, and shall also be collecti-
ble in any manner authorized by said Section 56 of the City Charter
for the collection of special assessments.
Section 10. The City Commission shall have power:
To use parks and playgrounds which may hereafter be acquired
by the City of Miami, in which to give out -door exhibitions, games,
and c2ntests, with power and authority to charge and colleot a rea-
sonable admission fee for each person entering such park or play-
ground during the time when the same shall be used or employed for
such purposes.
Section 11. This Act shall take effect upon being ratified by an election
to he held in the City of Miami and to be participated in by the qualified electors
of such City within 60 days after becoming a law, and that if a majority of the
electors voting in such election shall vote against the ratification of this Act,
then the Act shall be held to be null, void and of no effect.

ections and conduct elections in said City shall call, hold and cause to be held in
said City an election to be participated in by the qualified voters of said City with-
