P Cel PUBLIC PARK PURPOSES
owing communication from the City Manager in reference to certain let in Mon -
subdivision, needed by the City of Miami for public pork purposes was aubmit-
August 26, 1924.
To the City Commiseion.
Gen tlemen:
When the tract cf land known as Tatum Park was purchased
some time ago from Ben Shepard there SU a one lot in this tract which
was nct included in the purohase. This is lot 89 of Montray, and
no one seemed tc know at the time she owned thto lot, as there sas
nothing on record. the deed to this lot has recently been filed
for reccrd and belcnge to Charles S. Ramsey and Irene W. Ramsey. I
have been trying to get a price on thie lot through Mr. R. 13. LieLen-
don who has been locking after the taxes and ether matters for them.
I also took the matter up direct by letter. They claim to have paid
the Mcntray Corperation 0250.00 for the lot and the deed bears 44.00
in revenue stampe thc1ioottnt the price. I have slue a copy cf their
oontraot with the Mcntray Corporation showing the purchase price to
be 0260.00.
The owners seem unwilling to name a price for this lot and
I wculd suggest that the city proceed tc condemn same. It does not
appear to me that the lot is worth thr price they claim tc have Ipaid.
I am submitting this information to ycu for whatever action you think
best to take.
Respectfully,
(Signed) F. H. WHARTON

The f allowing ommun 1 ea teen frcm 0. C. Smith, build ing superintendent f or S. E.
Kress .& Comperst addressee tc the City Commission wan reoeived and. after being read
was ordered spread upon the minutes:
To the Honorable Board cf City Oommissicners
of Miami, o'lorida.
Gentlemen;
August 26, 1924.
We, the S. H. Kress & Cc., of Mimi, Merida, herewith res-
pectfully ask ycur kind permiasicn in granting us the authority
which will permit us tc lower the present space which we n.cw hold
title tc 'and ccoupr beneath the sidewalk in front of cur premises
at Number 26 to 32 mast Flagler Street, Mend., Pier ide.
This existing spec°, measuring u.16 feet wide by 14.25 feet
long, begins at a point 5.25 feet west of the west face t3f our
east wall. the average depth of the prevent space le 6.00 feet.
The sidewalk hoist with which we are chiefly concerned, cc-
oupys a spaoe 5.50 feet by 5.50 feet in the ncrthweet corner of
the space herein deearibed abcve. 'Mita hoist also has an 3.8 inch
pit beneath it for the operating machinery.
In view cf the proposed type cf construoticn of cur new base-
ment,' whereby we find it imperative to install double 20 inch I-
beam spandrels along the build tag line at the first floor 1. oval,
the result is that the head room from under side of beam flange to
finish floor at this point (which is likewise on the building line)
is cnly 3.66 feet, most insufficient fcrcur purpose cf receiving
the bulky freight and merchandise that we do, and also inadqua te
f or cur business .
In view cf this fact, it is vitally essential that we lower
the present heist and space dcwn to the level cf tear new basement
floor, necessitating a drop of 5.70 feet holey; the present level.
It is nct cur intention to change the location cf the present hoist
or the existing trap doors in the sidewalk. Whet we plan to do in
this matter is cnly tc remove the present doors and frame, replete-
ing same in the same location with a better designed type of doors,
that finish perfectly flush with the eidewalk, and which are to be
water tight, and else possessing the necessary typo and number of
guard bars when cpen.
If we are granted the privilege of lowering our present space
as before outlined, the jity can be assured that same will be de-
signed and constructed in accordance with the best known methods
of engineering and conntructicn. it is cur intention tc remove a
certain porticn of the lower part cf the present enclosure walla
together with the fectine,a cf same. Frem this pcint down we shall
securely underpin all walls with new reinforced concrete walls of
18 inches in thickness, including a three inch Gunite waterproof -
tag shell applied directly cn tc the side cf.the excavated rcck.
The new floor to be instelled in this porticn will be 16 inches in
thickness, cf heavily reinforced tecncrete. as the walls, both of
whioh will be thercughly waterprocfed, bcth intriga13.y and extreme-
ly in accordance with the paramount methods known tc hydrostatic
waterproof ing .
It is furthermore our intention tc lino the inside faoe of
both aide walla above the present flocr level, with 6 inches of re-
.inf arca d ocnorete and wa terprocf ing, thus el imina ting any dermal-
ticn cf sid.ewalk or street in thickening the upper part of the walls.
In view cf our heavy loade and consistent with the best ccn-
atruotion, we find it will be absclutely necessary to extend our
main front wall footing across the entire front of the building,
i. e., from lct line to lot line. To equally distribute the appli-
ed loads, it requires a footing 6 feet in width. This, cf °curse,
must be oentered en the center line cf the fruit wall piers and
oolumns that transmit the loads veeich necessitates projecting it
2.45 feet beycnd the building line.
To assist ycu in conceivine just what cur plans and inten-'
time are, the method we contemplate employing and the type cf
constructicn, etc., we have prepared a detailed drawing for your
oonsideraticn, shcwing bcth the present layout and the proposed
new plan. Also a detailed secticn showing present depth and the
new depth we plan tc lower the present heist to, together with the
new walls, flccr and footings.
Sincerely trusting that this detailed explanaticn, together
with cur drawings will sssist ycu in determining what ycur judg-
ment may be in granting US the authority for that whioh we apply.
Most respectfully submitted,
S. H. KROSS & CO.
