0.. Mardh 25th, 1924.,
Jere has been considerable more improvement work done
during the year than we had figured an when the Budget was made
up, and the amount allowed for this item is practically exhausted.
On the other side of the a000unt, we had estimated $50,
000.00 as "Departmental Accruals" 'arising from "Engineering Ser-
vices" and the amount was nearly reached the 2 irzt seven months in
the year.
It will require an additional appropriation from the Gen-
eral Fund of 25,000.00 to take oare of the salaries in this Depart-
ment for the balance of the fiscal year. This amount will be ful-
ly off -set by the added "Department Accruals" over the amount esti-
mated in the Budget.
I will therefore, ask that you appropriate ; 5,000.00 from
the General :Auld to "Salaries" account in the •0ffice of Director of
Public Service.

SUITS AGAMST CI.Pf OF MIAMI REPORT OF CITY ATTORNEY
The City Attorney submitted the following written report of certain suits against
the City of Miami for alleged damages which was ordered filed:
Miami, Florida,
Larch 24, 1924.
City Commission,
Miami, Florida.
Gentlemen:
'Me suit of E.T.MoKnight vs. the City of Miami for damages
sustained by the plaintiff through the negligent operation of the
street re ilway in the City of Miami, on or about April 20, 1922, has
been dismissed at the cost of the plaintiff. In this case Mr. Mc-
Knight sued the City and claimed damages in the amount of Fifty Thou-
sand Dollars.
In the case of Charles Peyser against the City of Miami and
the Miami Beach Electric Company, the suit has been dismissed as ag-
ainst the City of Miami and is being continued against the Miami Beach
Electric Company. This is also a suit for damages received by the ne-
gligent and careless eperat ion of the street oars. In this case Irir.
Peyeer claimed damages in the sum of Five .Thousand Dollare.
In the case of E.P. Hawkins vs. the City of Miami, the de-
murrer filed by the City has been sustained and while leave is grant-
ed the plaintiff, L:r. Hawkins, to amend his declaration, it is my op-
inion that as the demurrer goes to the substance of the declaration,
an amendment will be impassible and in reality, I believe this ends
this suit. Lir. Hawkins in this action claimed damages in the sum
of '_Fifty Thousand Dollars, for the negligent and careless operation
and maintenance of tho city incinerator, both to his person and also
to his property.
On _`ridgy of last week, I tried the case of Annie Yelving-
ton vs. the City of Miami, for personal injury alleged to have been
sustained by i.:rn. Yelvington in stepping into a hole, by reason of
which she tripped and :ell heavily, striking her head on the pavement
and fracturing her skull. In this case Mfrs. Yelving'ton sued for
fvrenty-Vivo 2housand D liars for the alleged personal injury but the
jury returned a verdit of "not guilty" in favor of the City. This
disposes of Eighty -Thousand Dollars in alleged damages claimed ag-
ainst the City during the part week, and excepts the Hawkins case of
.'lfty 'Thousand Dollars damages, which I believe, by the sustaining of
the demurrer, also terming tee that suit. Yours very truly,
J. W. WATSON, Jr.
