AUTHORIZING PAYMENT OF CERTAIN BILLS FOR WATER, .ELECTRIC AND RAILWAY INVESTIGATION

Mr. Leffler, seconded by Mr. Lummus, was ordered spread upon the minutes:

Board of Commissioners,
Miami, Fla.
Dear Sirs:
Enclosed please find bill for services of our LIr. J. T.
Woodward in connection with the bond issue recently put out by the
City.
o can refer you to a telegram received from the former
Mayor in which the City agreed to reimburse us for Mr. Ioodward's
services in connection with such visit and examination, to the ex-
tent of $100 per day and expenses. This was to be rebated in the
event that we were the successful bidders for the issue. In view
of the fact that we did not see our way clear to bid for the bonds
at the recent sale, we are assuming that the City will be glad to
reimburse us to the extent provided for.
The wore: involved represented a visit of i:x. Woodward
to Miami and an inestimgation of the situation as existed at that
time. It further involved the preparation of considerable in the
way of office data which was forwarded to the 3ity,3ommissioners
subsequently thereafter and which we are informed represented the
original basis for the proposed extension insofar as the terms and
conditions of the bonds were concerned.
In confirmation of the above statement, we beg to refer
you to the attorney for the City, Lr. Chester 3. I,Iasslich, who
made all the arrangements in connection therewith.
Very truly yours,
SF;:1;CER TRAS1: & 30.
