frcnting cn Southwest idcrth River Drive, I hereby protest the payment
November 11', 1924.
303
of any charges for the placing of sidewalk,and curb in front cf my pro-
perty above mentioned, for the reason that said sidewalk and ourb were
planed from two and cue -half to three feet ever an my property, and the
lcoaticn of the street, namely Southwest North river Drive, has not been
built in accordance with the new ordinance that was passed by the Oi ty
Council cf the City of Miami, changing the location cf said Southwest
North River Drive.
I repeatedly called this matter tc the attention of the City`
Engineer, and requested that they establish new grades and new street
linen befare a permanent paving was planed en said street, and I feel
sure that if you will check the map over, also the new ordinance ohang..
ing the lcoaticn cf Southwest ITarth River Drive, you will readily see
that thisstreet is net in the proper location. Therefore, I protest
the payment cf any expenses incurred for the placing of a sidewalk in
trant of my property.
