AUTHORIZING PURCHASE OF STEEL SHEET PILING FOR NEW CITY PIER The City Manager submitted the following oommunioation addressed to him from the Direotor of Publio Service in reference to the purohase of sheet piling for the new City Pier: Miami, Florida, January.19, 1925. File 148-23. Mr. F. H. Wharton, City Manager, Miami, Florida. Dear Sir: In. order to get the new Pier underway as quiokly as possible, I would recommend the City's purohasing the neoessary sheet piling for doing this work. I have letter from the Bethlehem Steel Company - the only Steel Company that roll the arch web section - quoting on a minimum of two thousand tons, at 2.95 cents per pound, fob Mills, with freight 4- lowed to Miami. This prioe will mean approximately THREE AND FIVE HUNDREDTHS (3.05 oents) CENTS per pound unloaded from oars, or if it oame by rail practically the same amount, figuring on hauling from the dook. I oonsider this a very good prioe, and would recommend aocep- tanoe before the date of expiration of their quotation, which is January 30th, 1925. Yours very truly, (Signed) ERNEST COTTON Director of Public Servioe And it being the sense of the Commission that the beoessary sheet piling for the construction of the new pier should be bought at this time cad that the quo ta- tion of the Bethlehem Steel Company should be aooepted the following resolution. wasoffered by Mr. Lummus: RESOLUTION NO. 1853. A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ACCEPT THE QUOTATION OF THE BETHLEHEM STEEL COMPANY FOR SHEET PILING FOR NEW PIER AT CITY DOCKS.

ORDERED CONTRACTED FOR 385 MEM i MM EM ME 1 1 1 1 The City Manager submitted thefo1lowing .00mmunioation addressed to him from the Direo- tor of Publio Servioe in reference to the oonetruetion of an additional inoinerator: Miami, Florida, January 19, 1926. Pile 145-6. Mr. F. H. Wharton, City Manager, Miami, Florida. Dear Sir: Regarding the handling of garbage from Little River, Si1Per Bluff, and any other outlying districts, I would say that as a matter of pro - tooting the health of the City of Miami, it would be a very wise proce- dure, inasmuch as these suburbs have no way of disposing of any of their City refuse. Our inoinerators are working to praotioally their oapaoity at pre- sent on our own garbage, and to handle any outside material will mean orowding them to their utmost limit, with the strong probability of our not being able to allow the materials to stay in the inoinerators long enough to be completely reduoed. In view of the fact that we ahall need additional incinerator oa- paoity, I have asked the Nye Odorless Crematory Company to quote us on a new double unit, the furnaoes of which, would be a duplioate of the in* stallation which they have just oompleted; both to parry a larger house and 100' radial brink stank. 0n this basis they have quoted a price of $60,000.00 for the double unit, with a promise to start work immediately and rush through to oompletion by the middle or latter part of February, provided they are advised at once. I would recommend that we build this additional unit at onoe, lo- cating it just north of the first unit constructed. Yours very truly, (Signed) ERNEST COTTON Direotor of Public Servioe After due oonaideration it was the opinion of the Commission that the additional inoin* orator capacity reoommended by the Direotor of Public( Service is needed and thereupon a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into contract for an additional double -unit inoinerator was introduced by Mr. Leffler and is as follows: RESOLUTION NO. 1854. A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO CONTRACT WITH THE NYE ODORLESS CREMATORY COMPANY FOR CONSTRUCTION AND ERECTION OF AN ADDITIONAL DOUBLE -UNIT INCINERATOR. WHEREAS, the Direotor of Public Service and the City Manager have.re- oommended the oonstruotion of an additional double -unit inoinerator, and WHEREAS, after due consideration it is the sense of the Commission that additional inoinerator capacity is needed, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Commission of the City of Miami: 1: That the offer of the Nye Odorless Crematory Company to oonstruot and ereot a double -unit inoinerator stand for the prioe of60,000 be, and the same is hereby,aooepted. 2: That the City Manager be, and he is hereby, authorized and direct- ed to enter into contract with the Nye Odorless Crematory Company for the ereotion and construction of said inoinerator.
