Dear Mr. Wharton: - Miami, Florida, February 9th, 1924. I am enclosing herewith an assessment notioe just received oonoerning a paving improvement affeeting Lot 20 of Block 20, High- land Park Subdivision, in the amount of 1134.57. • This is the lot that our Rotary Club purchased last year and on whioh we built a house to take care of Widow Knowles and her mother and children. You will reoall I wee Chairman of the Committee and as the Rotary Club is not a Corporation it was arranged by the Di- rectors for me to take title as Trustee. Since that time an arrange- ment has been made with the Bisoayne Trust Company to hold this pro- perty in trust for the Miami Rotary Club to hold this property for exclusively oharity purposes as may be directed by the Directors of the Rotary Club from time to time and I have accordingly deeded the property as Trustee over to the Biaoayne Trust Company for this pur- pose. As this is entirely a oharitable investment without any pur- pose for profit, we feel that at least the city and if possible, the State and County, should exempt it from taxation and assessment, and as Chairman of that Committee of the Rotary Club, I would thank you to plane the matter before the City Commissioners, or take suoh other aotion as you deem proper with a view of having this and any other assessment exempted as well as the 1923 city taxes and arrange to have the property a000rdingly oarried on the tax books for the future. If there is anything else yuu wish me or the Rotary Club • to do by way of getting the matter in proper, shape before taking fur- ther aotion yourself, please feel free to oall upon me. Yours very truly, (Signed) FRAME J. PEPPER Chairman, Charity Committee, Miami Rotary Club. After some disoussion among the members of the Commission it was determined that the pro- perty mentioned in the oommunioation of Mr. Pepper to the City Manager was being used exclusively for oharity purposes and, therefore, should be exempt from oity taxes and that the paving lien against the property should be oanoelled. Thereupon the following resolution was introduced by Mr. Gilman: RESOLUTION NO. 1269. A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO CANCEL THE PAVING LIEN AFFECTING LOT TWENTY(20), BLOCK T1IYENTY(20) HIGHLAND PARK SUBDIVISION IN THE AMOUNT OP 41134.57 AND EX- EMPTING SAID PROPERTY FROM FURTHER TAXATION. WHEREAS, a communication hue been received from Frank J. Pepper, the Chairman of the Charity Committee of the Miami Rotary Club; and WHEREAS, it appears that Lot Twenty (20) of Block Twenty (20), High- land Park Subdivision, is purely for charitable purposes only; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Commission of the Oity of Miami that the City Manager be, and he is hereby authorized and directed to can- cel the paving lien affecting Lot Twenty (20), Block Twenty (20), High- land Park Subdivision, in the amount of e134.57; AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Manager be, and he is here- by, directed to take such proper steps, authoring and directing through the proper heads of the departments of the City government to have Lot Tyventy (20) of Block Twenty (20), Highland Park Subdivision, exempt from further taxation, insolong as said property remains for charitable purposes.

WARM, Communication from the Director of Public Service addressed to the City Manager under date of December loth, 1923, in reference to exchange of properties be- tween the City of Miami and C. H. Ward at the corner of N. Miami Avenue and 14th Street, was submitted by the City Manager and was ordered filed and spread upon the minutes of the meeting. Said oommunioation is as follows: Mr. F. H. Wharton, City Manager, Miami, Fla. Dear Sir: Miami,Florida, December 10, 1923. Referring to correspondence regarding change in the align- ment of ourb and sidewalk at the intersection of North Miami Avenue with 14th street, property recently secured from C. H. Ward and the property adjacent to the Fire Station: I am handing you, herewith, trading showing treatment that I would recommend at this location so as to give a minimum of 46' width paving on North Miami Avenue from the South line of 14th Street through to the present work now under construction by the Morgan -Hill Paving Company, Contract Pv. 44. This plan, as you will note, oontemplates carrying the ourb on the north side of 14th Street to as near the Fire Station as practicable and the exchanging with Mr. Ward of certain frontage on North Miami Avenue for trontage an 14th Street. This exchange would not be equitable insofar as the square footage is concerned as it would give to Mr. Ward 180 square feet more than we would be securing from him. In the matter of frontage we are giving him straight frontage on Miami Avenue of 9'and taking from him a 40' frontage on 14th Street. From Mr. Ward's standpoint, it is very desirable to get as much frontage on North Miami Avenue as possible, and from a traffic standpoint I would say it would be very necessary for the City to aoquire the frontage on 14th Street, so as to give full 46' width of paving on 14th Street where Miami Avenue makes the jog. As regard paving of this area, I would Dell your attention to tie fact that the Morgan -Hill Paving Company contract contem- plates a 46' paving between curbs from 14th Street to the P. E. C. Railway, and the southern portion of this contract is shown in hatched lines on tracing. To make a job of Miami Avenue, I would recommend the paving of 14th Street from the west property line of Miami Avenue ex- tended to the east property line of Miami Avenue extended south of 14th Street paving all the area between ourbs as shown, and tearing up a certain portion of the old asphalt on that portion of Miami Avenue south of 14th Street sufficient to make proper oonneotions and street intersections with the new work. If the Morgan-H111 °entreat may be extended to cover this work, the post would be approximately $5500.00. As regard Mr, Ward, I have talked with him on this layout , which would be satisfactory to him, and is about the best we Gan- da. Yours very truly, (Signed) ERNEST COTTON Direotor of Public Service The City Manager stated that the exchange as outlined by the Director of Public Service was the best that could be worked out between Mr. Ward and the City and recommended that the exchange of the properties be authorized. Mr. Lumens in troduoed a resolution authorizing the exchange and the said resolution is in full as follows: REJSOLUTION NO. 1270.

Our laok of funds has been paused by the large in- orease made on us by additional oharity patients during this fisoal year, and the operation of a oontagious disease ward, which you find is very much more expensive to operate than a general hospital. Thanking you for your attention, I am (Signed) E. B. DOUGLAS Chairman, City Hospital.
