Gen tlemen:
Owing to the damage done to a large number of streets in the
City by the recent heavy rains and high waters, it will be neoee-
sary to spend oonsiderable money in putting the streets book in
as good ocnditicn as they were before the rains.
In order to do this I will ask for an emergency appropriation
of $20,000 frcm the General Fund, in order that we may start this
work at once. I do not think this amount will be sufficient, but
it will enable us to proceed with the work and if more is needed
later, I will so advise you and ask f cr further appropriations.

3entlemen:-
In order to help cut the traffic situation in Miami this com-
ing winter,and after investigating the electric traffic signals, I
am convinced that by the lnstalla ticn c f these electric signals
they will be a great aid in the handling of traffio. I have, there-
fore, ordered these signals and equipment for instel'laticn, so as
to have the system installed early in December. I have arranged
fcr these signals to be placed at sixteen cf the busiest street in-
tersections in the business district and these can be added to from
time tc tirde as the necessities require.
The oust of these traffic signals installed will amount to ap-
proxirna teiy yii11,000.00 and as this was nct taken care of in the Bud-
get it will be necessary to appropriate, from tha General Fund, the
amount specified above. I will, therefore, ass: that you make this
appropriation.
