Miami, Fia., July 21, 1923.
IMM11711111! INIMIN II I.i!!RINVI1
City Commissioners,
City of Miami, Fioride.-
We reoommend the following changes in the proposed plans for
Street Railway Extensions now under consideration by you:
Recommendation No. 1: Eliminate the proposed loop South of
Flagler Street, and incorporate in lieu thereof the following loop:
Leading North from Flagler Street along the Railroad to F. E. C. De-
pot; thence East on Northwest and Northeast Second Street to North-
east Third Avenue; thenoe South on Northeast Third Avenue to Flag-
ler Street; thence West on East Plagler Street to join the pre-
sent track.
BENEFITS OF RECOMMENDATION NO.1:
We feel that the loop situated on the North side of Flagler St.
would serve a much greater demand than the one proposed South of
Plagler Street. It covers a section of the City more devoted to bu-
siness purposes,. retail stores, theatres, and ohurchss; and con-
nects with the F.E.C. depot. It will be far more advantageously
placed for the multitudes that visit the new City Park. And espe-
cially is this true in the event that the Band Stand should be mov-
ed to the new City Park north of Flagler Street. It constitutes a
loop which could be negotiated by all Miami and Miami Beach lines.
Due to its slightly larger size it will create less congestion than
the proposed South loop. It would be far more advantageously situa-
ted for the connection of a future extension leading to the North-
west. It covers a territory less frequented by jitneys, and would
in our opinion, furnish stopping points of much greater safety.
Recommendation No. 2.- Eliminate the additional track on West
Flagler Street from the Railroad to Seventh Avenue; also the track
on Southwest Sixth Avenue from Flagler Street to Southwest Sixth
Street; and incorporate in lieu thereof the following line: Con -
neat with the dead-end of the track proposed for Southwest Second
Avenue and continue it across the Bridge to Southwest Sixth Street;
thence West on Southwest Sixth Street to connect with the proposed
line running West.
BENEFITS OF RECOMIENDA'TIOiT NO.2:
This relieves the already congested condition of Flagler St.
and especially the Plagler Street Bridge of a great additional bur-
den, and c mpl etes a gap which would have to be made at some future
date. It gives transportation facilities to a large area which
otherwise would not receive them at present. It also furnishes an
ideal point of connection for any future extensions to the South,
and it renders a considerable saving in trackage. And at the same
time, it does not deprive the middle -western section of an advanta-
ges contemplated by the other plan.
Recommendation No. 3.- Connect with the dead-end line on South-
west Sixth Street at Fourteenth Avenue, and continue it West to Se-
venteenth Avenue.
BENEFITS OF RECOMMENDATION NO.3:
It is our opinion that these three additional blocks of track-
age upon this line is extremely essential to properly care for the
great number of people living West and South of the terminus of this
extension; and by this same reasoning it would undoutedly be of
great assistance in making this particular line pay for itself.
The patronage received through the extension of this line to Se-
venth Avenue, would not only pay for the extension but aid material-
ly the entire system.

City l pager's Communica
Miami, Florida,
July 21, 1923.
City Commission,
Miami, Fla.
Gentlemen:
I am attaching hereto a tentative proposition submitted
by Mr. Harold H. Bailey in the matter of establishing a natural
history museum in one of the City's parks.
I have seen a large part of Mr. Bailey's collections and
he certainly has a wonderful collection of birds, animals, shells,
etc., and with hie collection augmented by other collections which
he thinks he can obtain, would make a very interesting museum and
also one of great educational value.
As desirable as it might be to have this museum, it is a
question again as to whether the City can afford to take on this
added expense. No provision is made in the Budget for this, and
with so many other large projects under way, and the consequent ad-
ded operating cost of the City, make it almost imperative that no
new departments be created at this time, which would materially in-
crease the operating expenses of the City.
I believe this matter can better wait for the present,
and until euoh time as the City gets large enough and in a position
to maintain institutions of this sort as City Institutions.
Respectfully,
F. H. wHARTON

•'July 23, 1923.
In the matter of widening N. Miami Ave. from 14th St. (Wad-
dell) north to 36th st., I have just oompleted negotiations for the fol-
lowing properties needed for the purpose:
I have paid L. M. Harper 4800.00 for the East 18 feet of Lot
5 of Block 1, Johnson and Waddell Addition and have secured deed for
same. I have also allowed Mrs. Lucille C. Pearson 4500.00 for the W.
20 ft. of Lot 3, Blook 2, Fleming and Pearson Subdivision. I have deed
and abstract covering this transaction.
I have closed the deal with Mrs. Minnie L. Singleton for the
W. 20 ft. of Lot 7, Block 3, Fleming and Pearson Subdivision, and also
the W. 20 ft. of an unplatted area just south and adjacent to the above
property, said unplatted parcel of land having a frontage of 80 ft. on
N. Miami Ave., making a total frontage of 120 feet on N. Miami Ave. I
have allowed Mrs. Singleton 41400.00 for this property.
I have also closed a deal, and the papers are now in escrow
in the First National Bank, with the Seminole Bed Spring and Mattress
Mfg. Co. Their property has a frontage of 100 feet on N. Miami Ave.
and lies immediately South and adjacent to the Minnie L. Singleton pro-
perty. In this deal, I have allowed the Seminole Bed Spring and Mattress
Mfg. Co. y$1500 for the cost of arcadirg their present building, and have
also exchanged property with them, giving them a small parcel of land
joining their property on the south in exchange for the West 20 ft. of
their property.
I have also allowed W. W. Campbell 460.00 for the West 10 ft.
of Lot 6, Blook 16 of Robins, Graham and Chillingworth Subdivision. This
$60.00 is to re-imburse him for the sidewalk he had just built in front
of this property.
With the completion of these deals, there is nothing in the
way of completing the widening of N. Miami Ave. to 70 feet except the
two pieoes of property you have recently ordered condemned.
I would like to have you pass the necessary resolution confirm-
ing my actions in these matters, as these deals have all been completed.

PROPERTY OF C. H. WARD FOR STREET PURPOSES CONDITIONS OF CONVEYANCE
Communication under date of July 23, 1923, to the Commission from the City Attorney
in reference to the purchase of part of Lot 1, Block 3, Baldwin & 0xars Addition,
from C. H. Ward, was received and on motion of Mr. Lummus, seconded by Mr. Wilson,
was ordered spread upon the minutes and filed.
City Attorney's Communication:
The City Commission,
Miami, Florida.
Gentlemen:
Miami, Florida,
July 23, 1923.
In reference to the purchase of part of Lot 1 of
Block 3 of Baldwin & Oxars Subdivision from lir. Ward, I
beg to advise that Mr. Ward is ready to execute warranty deed
to the City, but he desires to have the deed conveyed to the
city for street purposes. His reason for this is that if the
property should be purchased by the city and for any reason
used for any other purpose than street purposes, he would be
entirely cut off from his front, and I think his argument is
reasonable.
I understand that the taxes for the year 1923 are
to be pro -rated and that the City is to put down the sidewalks
along the property at its expense and not at the expense of
the adjoining property owners.
Yours very truly,
A. J. ROSE
City Attorney
Thereupon, upon motion of !.:r. Lummus, seconded by Mr. Wilson, it was resolved that
the City Attorney be, and is hereby, authorized and directed to prepare deed from
C. H. Ward to the City for the aforesaid property for street purposes; that the
taxes for the year 1923 are to be pro -rated and that the City will oonstruot side-
walks along the property at its own expense and not at the expense of the adjoin-
ing property owners. On roll call the vote was as follows: AYES; Messrs. Romfh,
Lummus, Wilson, Leffler. NOES: None. Motion unanimously carried and said reso-
lution passed and adopted.
