QUSST FOR FIRE HYDReN'PS BY L. T. eTORWOOD
The following oammunioation from L. 'P. Norwood in reference to the planing of
fire hydrants was received and after being read was ordered filed:
Mr. P. B. Wharton,
Oita' Manager.
Bear Sir:
Asheville, N.O.
Your letter in referenoe to the fire hydrante we petitioners
and tax payers asked for reaohed me here this ave., and I am somewhat
surprised at ite oontente as you say we d.o not need any hydrants or
words that that effeot. Now I want to tell you that if we did not
need them and were not entitled to them, we would not have asked for
them as we are solidly built up out there on the s tree is and avenues
we asked to be proteoted from fire and nearly all wood oonstruotion and
covered with shingles and if a fire was to start out there in S. W. 2nd
Street it would burn that entire section up before the water could be
gotten to it by the firs eo. As the pressure is very poor and will
hardly run now and is so rusty most of the time we oant use it to bathe
in, and if for no other reason we need larger mains to get better water
aul the proper pressure to put out a fire and we'as tax payers are en-
titled to what we have asked you all for and we mean to have it and I
hereby .put you on notice now that if the city fails to give us what we
asked for which is our rights as much as any other part of the oity wa
propose to hold the oity responsible for any loss by fire for not giv-
ing ua better pipes through which our eupp"!y of water le to come when
the oity brings in the new supply of water which to are supposed to get
from the new weals out in the everglaa, but which will be as rotten and
rusty as ever if it le to c me through the Elaine old rusty poluted water
pipes of the Miami Water Company and all our efforts to get good water
will be in vain and our bond money wasted if we allow the same old pipes
to be used to bring the water to us all and we will still have to buy
our supply of drinking water as time it comes into the city through
the same old water mains from the stand pipes it will be as rotten as
ever and as badly polluted and undrinkable so we expect something for
our large bond issue. We voted to get good water and we intend to
have it or find out the reason wily. I am yours truly,
L. T. Norwood.
R. S. Don't see why we are not as much entitled to fire protection as
the people on S. W. 4th St. as we are built up solid and have notioed
that there is fire hydrants on old 20th et. where there is no houses.
Please look into this and give us what we asked for or we will make
things lively when I get book home.

Gentlemen;
In behalf of the heirs of the late Mary Briokell, I wish
to tender to you a portion of Lot One (1), Block One Hundred and
Three (103) South, to be wed perpetually as a park, and to be nam-
ed Briokell Park.
This strip of ground begins at a monument on Bri.ckell
Avenue, said monument being at the Corner of the Bickmere property,
and directly across from the north line of Sixth Street. Southeast,
runs north for a distance of 125 feet, 8 inches, thence easterly to
Bisoeyne Bay, thence southeasterly along Bisoayne Bay for a distance
of 121.9 feet to the said Riakmere line, thence westerly for a die-
tanoe of practically 670 feet, 6 inches, to Bracken. Avenue, to plane
of beginning; together with the riparian righto thereon, a better
desoription being unavailable at this writing.
This park is given by the heirs of the late Mary Briokell
for the express purpose that it be used as a city park, and with the
express understanding that the City of Nlami is to pass proper re-
solutions and ordinances to accept the trust of improving and per-
petually oaring for the family burial ground which adjoins this
ground immediately on the north, a plat of all of which has hereto -
ore been made and is attached hereto.
The City of Miami is to bear all of the expense of in-
proiri.ng and beautifying, and the said work is to be started imme-
diately and to the satisfaction of myself as representative of the
Briokell heirs in the matter aforesaid. As soon as proper reeolu-

plot and paroel of ground for park purposes, and upon the completion
of the work, e deed will be handed to the City, that has previously
been approved by the City Attorney and upon the acceptance of this
trust a deed will be delivered to me by the Brickell heirs, cover-
ing the property, to be held in trust until such work and such or-
dinanoes have been oempleted.
I would like to esy et this time that I would be glad to
take up the matter with the Park Commission, or whoever has the park
work in oharge, to outline in detail how the he ire of the late Mary
Briokell would like the burial ground improved. As far as the park
is oonoerned, that is left entirely to the City. However, there
are oertain small buildings now on the land be ing deeded for park
purposes, together with some shrubbery and coconut palms that we may
request the City to move to lands immediately adjoining.
