CHANGE IN LOCATION OP SEWER AT APPROACH TO ViyNETIAN WAY .The following cornmunioaticn from the Bay Biscayne Improvement Company in reference to sewer condition affecting their property at the approaoh to Venetian Way was read and crdered copied upon the ininutee: Han. City Commieaicners, Miami, Ficrida. Gentlemen: November 3, 1924. There is a sewer• condition effecting cur property at the approach to Venetian Way which will nc doubt be explained to ycu by Mr. Cotten, ycur Director cf Public Service. As he will explain, we are filling this prcperty tc the harbor line. It seems advisable that all cf the small sewers which now run through these several prcpe:ties shculd be centered in cne line and an adequate cutlet p-rcvided therefor. We beg tc advise that we are ready to stand cur pro- porticnate part cf the expense cf laying this sewer down the 100 foot apprcach, and the City is hereby given permission tc en- ter same fcr this purpose. `N e alsc wish tc state that we waive any and all technicalities and irregularities that may ocn- fltot with the law sc that this may be assessed in the regular manne r. As i t will require all cs the time tc do this wcrk be- tween this date and the time we start cat filling cperations, we trust ycu may act cn this without delay. Respectfully, THE BAY BISCAYNE IMPROVWFd1T COMPANY After scrne discussion the matter was reZerred to the City Manager and the Director of Public Service for investigation and with instru ticns to report back to the Commis- sion with a recommendation.

Hcncrable City Commissioners, 0ity cf Miami, Florida. Gentlemen: We desire tc inf crm ycu that the Miami ,P1eotrio Light and Pcwer Company and the Miami Water Company have been sold to the American Power & Light Company interest which are already op- erating in Miami and Miami Beach and in other places throughout the state cf Florida. In many ways it is a matter cf regret tc us tc have to make this announcement, since it means the disposal c2, properties which are among the earliest established by i,Ir. Flagler in South Plc ride. Befcre deciding to dispose cf these prcperties tc the new calere we satisfied curselves as tc their competency as pu- blic utility operators, nct only as tc their financial responsi- bility, but alsc as to their reputation for exlwienoe, ability, and fair dealing in the many states in which they operate. Our interest in Muni, and cur feeling cf responsibility in connection with the enterprizes with which we have been identified here are such as tc cause us tc be deeply concerned regarding these mat- ters, and we are glad tc be able to say that we are satisfied that the new owners cf the electrio light and water properties in Miami are able and willing tc provide Miami with that first olass public utility service without which a ocntinuanoe cf its remarkable•oivio expansion and improvement would be impossible. Y.i YOUR Y Oi '2 Yil J.7G'11• The extensive programme of improvements in the faoilities of both these companies, planned in the early part of the year and now ,well toward consummation, will be parried on by the new owners. We are glad to have this opportunity tc express to the members of your Honrrable Commission and to the Public generally cur appre- ciation of the consideration and fair treatment that has been a000rd- ed us since the time that Mr. ;?lagler made available the distribution cf electricity and water to the ocmrnunity, and to bespeak for cur suo- oesecrs a continuance of that good will and cooperation in the future, to the end that we may all work together for the upbullding and de- velopment cf Greater Miami.

JAOI:SON FOR COPY OP RESOLUTION CHANGING NAME OP HOSPITAL Oommiselc•ner Gilman presented the following communication addressed to him from lire. Ethel B. Jackson which, after being read was ordered ocpied upon the minutes: Dear Jim: Some days ago I received a very lovely framed copy of the Resolutions changing the name of the City Hospital to the James M• Jaokscn Memorial Hospital. There was no oard with this, so I in- fer that I am indebted tc the City Commissioners for this. May I ask you to express my great apprecia tion far this? Se many times mere words seem useless to express what one feels. If Dr. Jackson could have chosen the tribute tc his memory that would have pleased him most I believe the naming of the hospital would have please him mast. It was a very beautiful thing to have been done but the moat comforting thought tc hearts that it was so abundantly deserved by the cne fcr wham it was done. I am giving this copy of Resolutions tc Dr. Hutson to hang in the office until I return home. Very Ocrdially, (Signed) EPHEL B. JACKSON. AGR .F.yRINP FOR CROSSING C.RY. TRACKS AT N. MIAMI AVE.

Mr. F. H. Wharton, City Manager, Miami, Fla. Dear Sir; Roque eta have been made upon this cf floe for cancellation a! sidewalk liens on the properties listed below. We have investigated each case with the following results: Sidewalk District #7: Lot 10, Block 17 South: Owner, S. L. Benton. This walk was built by individual ccntraot. Attached le an affidavit Pram the Contraotcr whc built the walk. Assessment $60.24. Sidewalk District #37-B; Lct 4, Block 54, Idlewild: Owner Olga Koennig. Lines and grades for this job were given by the City in August, 1920, and warl: approved by Inspector ii. VI. Kennedy. Owner states that when City contract work was laid, his was was 4" tc 6" below the Trade used. Walk was tarn up and re-laid tc new grade. Assessment 462.20. Lct 11. 50' cf 10 and 11, Block 20, Lawrence Estate: Owner S. 3:. Dahl- man. Owner states he built 50' cf walk (his entire frontage). When City ccntraot wort: was laid, the end cf this wall: was broken and the end black was re -built by the Contraotcr. nits would account for that part appear ing tc belong tc the ocntract, and, therefcre, being measur- ed up as ccntraot work. there shculd not be any assessment against this prcperty. Property is assessed for 6.3' - 47.84. Lot 16, Block 11, Lawrence .state: Owner !tame a High: This property has been assessed for 3.6' of sidewalk which is apparently an error on part cf Engineer making f inal measurements. 2he ocntraot work stopped chart of the lot line. Amcunt cf assessment $4.48. Center 50' cf Lcts 17 and 18, Block 45, Lawrence Estate: Owner A. M. Wigginton. Owner claims he built sidewalk in frcnt cf his lot full 50' The City Has re -built a driveway on ecuth side of his lot, thus obliterating the scuth and of original walk, and making it impossible tc check the owner's statement by any measurement. If his statement is true - and there is nc reason tc suppose he would stop chart of his line - he shculd not be assessed. The driveway referred tc has nc ocnneoticn with assessment. Amcunt cf assessment j11.69. Sidewalk District #37-B: Lct 10, Block 29, Lawrence uistate: Owner Dr. i:lla X. Quinn. This prcperty is assessed far 136.7' cn llth Avenue. It is a Darner lot, scuth end cn aW 8th Street. Owner has deeded 10 feet tc the City for widening SW 8th Street. 2herefcre, shculd be assessed far only 126.7' cn llth Avenue, or reduced from 4y170.05 tc y,157.61. Note; i'he plat cf the Lawrence ::state shcwa thia let 148.9' . Field measurements make it 136.2' while the Assessment Roll gives 136.71. 2he frontage cf 136.2' is belie ved to be correct. The errcr is evi- dently in the City map. South 50' Lets 8 & 9, Block 21, Lawrence Setate: Owner Vi.J. Delaney, this property is assessed f cr 50' frontage on llth Avenue. The side- walk was built before City cc: tract, and shculd not be assessed. Am - cunt cf assessment $62.20. Lct 4, Bleck 27, Carter's re -sub. of Block 27, Lawrence Estate: Owner- D. Y111scn. Reccrds slim that City furnished grades and inspected wcrk done by the cwner in building this walk prior to City ocntraot. It was fcvnd, however, that erroneous grades were furnished, and new wale: ccnstructed tc ccr:fcrm to the prcper grades and lines, were put in under City contract. 0n 1'eb. Eth, 1924, an endorsement was made cn oend ing lien certi:icaticn issued by the Tinenoe Department that the lien should be cancelled in view of oircurnstanoes as recited. This was nct done and the assessment was included in the Final Assessment Rell. Amcunt cf assessment 62.20. Let 10, Bieck 1, iiivermcrit Park: Owner William LloGrath. Sidewalk was built at this prcp_rt;T tc lines and grades given by City and approved by :ity Inc cter September 191.9. When City ccntraot Covering this distrio t was put thrcu;h the old walk was found tc be not to grade and wae re -built. Owner claims walk was in good ocndition when tern out.
