Miami City Commission,
Miami, Florida.
Gentlemen:
Under date of Deoember.1, 1923 and May 27, 1924, you reeeived
communications from Dlr. Sewell accompanied by a blue print of a sug-
gesion for a future change In the causeway approach on the Miami side,
and dooks for the future shipping needs uf the City.
That suggeeion had been submitted to the Directors of the Cham-
ber of Camerae and without going into the engineering details involv-
ed, received their approval.
Since tha t time Mr. Sewell had diseuseed, this plan with some
United States engineers and officials in addition to those with whom
he had previously conferred, all of whom were ef the opinion that some
eueh plan was absolutely necessary f or the future transportation and
shipping needs of this city.
Before leaving on his vaeation, Mr. Sowell had some slight alter-
atione made in the blue print and in the ourrent number of the "Miamian"
he has a discussion of, the subject arid he a ake d me to pro se n t came to
the Commission, believing that stepshould be taken quickly toward
working out some plan that would appeal. to the 01ty 0oiioo5on, and
County Commission, the City of Miami Bosch, and the owners of the Ve-
netian y before the la tter oompany o ta rts their work on the Miami en..
trance.
