TRAFFIC CONGESTION IN RE: PAVING AND SEWER LIENS int in reference to oertain paving ammunioation was referred to the City oomplaint and report bank to the Com- SUGGESTION FOR RELIEF OH' The following communication in referenoe to the traffio oondition on the streets during oertain hours of the day was received and ordered filed: Miami, Florida. Feb. 18th, 1924. To the Counoil of Miami. Dear Sire: I live in Miami and pay taxes and have the interest of our oity at heart. I live in Riverside and know what the traf- fic congestion is at the Flagler Street bridge. I know we all want and need the tourists to help build up our city. I have many friends who come down winters from Ohio and Indiana, besides I made it a point to talk to many strangers daily going back and forth in the street oars and this is their talk: "No street oar accommodations, one must wait so long for a car and in the switches that a person oan walk in lees time, and a person can't drive a oar with any comfort when they must get into such congestion at Flag- ler Street bridge. They need more bridges, we don't have to come to Miami and suffer all these inoonvenienoea just for the climate we can get that in smaller towns near by for much less money and be comfortable". This is the talk and more that I hear daily, and I know many people are leavinghere. Now I can't see any rea- son why we can't have another bridge on N. W. lot St. to divide the traffic and making a one way oar line (a belt line of street oar) going in on Flagler and out on North lot Street as far as 12th Avenue. We could have 5 minute service during busy hours on the belt and through oars could run less after, and the same way for lst and 2nd Avenue N. E. belt St. oar line on those two streets the autos as well as the street oars could be a one way street and make it unnecessary to widen N. E. 2nd Avenue and put the City to such a debt or expense and what would it amount to just to have that street widened when the Bay Shore Drive is just next. I would suggest to use all the parkway of all the street oar line streets to help widen the streets some as there are no trees to be out down on them. 0ur taxes sure are high enough with- out adding more to them for widening some streets that are less im- portant than others. That street car and other traffic oonges- tian at the Fir -et National Bank is something terrible only the people who use street cars know that. Miami should get busy and decide on something like this and get it advertised before the tourists leave so it willinduoe them to come back next winter. A bridge on let St. would devide the traffic of Flagler Street where one further away would not, and could not make a street oar belt line. The inconvenience in Miami is what is building the suburban towns and Miami is losing muoh. Very truly, M. Williams. SUBMERGED LAND ON SAST SIDE OF BAY Di11)1D TO BOTH CITY OF MIAMI & ALTON BEACH CO.

Dear Sir: The cap -log at the east end of the Municipal Pier has rotted so as to be practically useless and needs renewing. As this cap -log is now installed, it offers very little proteotion to the concrete deck of the Pier, and I would, therefore, reoom- mend the replacement of this timbered work and also the addition of suitable timber proteotion for the concrete floor at the end of the Pier. Ae you know, this concrete work has been damaged twioe by steamers and while it would probably be impossible to build a timbered proteotion at this point that would adequately proteot the Dock against ships coming head-on into it, yet a timbered pro- teotion may be built for a ooat of around 4600.00 that will be a proteotion against most aooidents. Yours very truly, (Signed) ERNEST COTTON Direotor of Publio Service Whereupon Mr. Lummus introduoed a resolution authorizing the'Oity work done and providing for the payment of same: RESOLUTION NO. 1290.
