City Commission,
City of Miami, Fla.
Gentlemen:
We understand that the officials of the Baltimore & Carolina
Steamship Compahy, have requested your Hohorable Body to alter the old
Municipal Dook in order that slips may be prepared for the better un-
loading of freight, espeoially automobiles whioh this line brings from
the Borth.
The officials of the Company are very much worried about this
matter, claiming that there are delays and unneoeasary risks taken with
this and other classes of freight, whioh a slip would eliminate. We
are informed also that there has been some damage to freight due to
this oause, and from inquiries we have made we believe most ports have
this arrangement in their docks to facilitate the handling of traffio.
In view of these facts, the Board of Directore at their meet-
ing last night voted to request the City Connniseionera to see if this
work could not be hurried in view of the faot that a large consignment
of automobiles is expected within, the next few months.
Yours very truly,
