City Manager,
Miami, Florida.
Dear Sir:
Resolution No. 1681, 0otober 14th, 1924, confirmed sidewalk
Assessment Roll in District 5k.37-A.
In preparing this Roll Lot C (E. 50' of W. 150' of Lot 10)
Blook 9, Broadmoor, was assessed for 23.9' - $26.31. This was an
error, as the sidewalk on the entire frontage was already built,
rou4-mmry VOID, 1VZO.
and should not have been inoluded in this Contraot. Therefore,
the property should be relieved of the assessment.
However, this 23.8' should be added to the frontage of that
part of Lot 10, of Block 9, Broadmoor, lying between Lot 0 and
the Bay, thus increasing the original assessment for Lot 10 from
Lot C to the Bay, from.162' to 185.8', making the oorreot assess-
ment $205.39 instead of $179.08.
Will you please have proper Resolution passed adjusting the
assessments as outlined.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) ERNEST COTTON
Direotor of Publio Servioe.
City Commission:
Gentlemen:
Referring to the above from the Direotor of Publio Servioe,
I will ask that the proper Resolution be passed oanoelling the
Sidewalk lien on Lot 0 (B 60' of W. 150' of Lot 10) Blook 9,
Broadmoor, and assessing it against the frontage of Lot 10 of
Blook 9, Broadmoor lying between Lot C and the Bay.
Respectfully yours,
(Signed) .V . H. WHARTON
City Manager

lots set forth in the oommunioation was introduoed by Mr. Leffler:
RESOLUTION NO. 1886.

against Lot 0 (E. 50' of W. 150' of Lot 10) Blook 9, Broadmoor, as
the sidewalk on the entire frontage of the said lot was already con-
struoted, and
WHEREAS, the assessment erroneously made against Lot 0 (E. 50'
of W. 150' of Lot 10, Block 9, Broadmoor,ehould have been inoluded
in the assessment against Lot 10 (Less W. 150'1, Block 9, Broadmoor,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Commission of the City of
Miami:
1: That the assessment against Lot 0 (E. 50' of W. 150' of
Lot 10) Blook 9, Broadmoor for sidewalk improvement under Sk-37-A,
in, the sum of $26.31 be, and the same is hereby, oanoelled and the
lien against said property removed.
a: That the assessment against Lot 10 (Less W. 150') of Blook
9, Broadmoor, be, and is hereby, inoreased from the sum of $179.08

PROTEST AGAINST OPERATIONS OF WALDECK-DEAL CO. BETWEEN 12TH AND 13TH AVES.-RIVER FRONT
Mr. J. T. Wigginton and other property owners and residents on N.W. 12th and N.W.
13th Avenues and the vicinity appeared before the Commission and protested against
the Wa1.deok-DealDredging Company being allowed to built a dry-dock on the river
front between the said Avenues. Mr. Wigginton stated that the noise from the op-
eration of a dry-dock at that looation would cause the residents in the vicinity
to suffer and that in addition to the noise the sanitary condition on the river
front at that point was bad and that there had been discharging of firearms by
persons employed by the Waldeck -Deal Company. Ir. Wigginton asked the Commission
to declare the operations of the Waldeck -Deal Company at that location a nuisanoe
and take some steps to remedy the conditions. After due consideration of the re-
quest it was the sense of the Commission and the opinion of the Attorney for the
City that there was nothing the City could do to prevent the Waldeck -Deal Company
Illgllfl�llil��Ti!!�I�III�II!!!�RI
from using the property for any legitimate purposes that they might see ff.t as
the City had no ordinance or law in effeot which fixes certain distriots or
saner for dry-dooka, boat -yards, eto„ or for any business. Mr. Wigginton was
assured, however, that the City could regulate the sanitary conditions and pre-
vent the discharging of firearms and that steps would be taken to do so.
