Mr. F. H. Wharton,
City Manager,
Miami, Florida.
Dear Sir:
Please note attached oopy of letter from D.L.Wilson, En-
gineer Division of Sewers, regarding bis estimate on the am-
ount Sanitary Sewer Contract Sr. 39 will over -run the first fi-
gure.
This is occasioned, as you will note, by extending sewers
to take care of street waters and placing extra man -holes and
sewers in streets being paved to take oare of future sewer oon-
neotions.
All of this work would be chargeable to City's share of
sewers. Will you kindly secure necessary authorization for
this expenditure?
Yours very truly,
(Signed) ERNEST COTTON
Director of Public Servioe.
Feb. 13, 1925.
Mr. Ernest Cotton,
Director of Publio Service,
Miami, Fla.
Dear Sir:
I estimate that when completed, Sanitary Sewer Contraot
No. Sr. 39, Districts No. 96 and 97, will over -run the con-
tracts by approximately $1500. Will you kindly secure addi-
tional funds to corer this?
The following are reasons for the exoess:
The sewers on NW 31st and 32nd Streets were each extend-
ed about 75' to take care of some patch basins neoessary for
street drainage. That on SW 8th Street was extended 85' for
the sarne reason. On NW 14th St. 12 extra manholes with 440'
of 8" stubs are being built to take care of -.extensions on the
avenues, and to permit paving to be done; 175' of 18" sewer
was substituted for 8" to conform to the sewer plan of this
area. On NE 2nd Ave. 640' of sewer was omitted, but $568.70
was spent for sidewalk repairs ordered by Mr. Wharton.
Very truly yours,
D. L. WILSON
Engineer, Division of Sewers.
Whereupon the following resolution appropriating the sum of $1500.00 from the City's
share of bond funds for payment of the cost of sanitary sewers for the oompletion of
sewer construction under Contract Sr. 39 was introduoed by Mr. Leffler:

Mr. F. H. Wharton,

Dear Sir:
Just prior to the time the S. S. "George Washington" was ex-
pected to make her initial trip to Miami, it was found neoessary
in order to dock this vessel, to dredge an area approximately 60'
x 300' immediately east of the North Municipal pier.
This work was done without the necessary government permit,
'pas there was no time to wait for this procedure. In order that
we may clear up the records on this, we should; file application
with the War Depaitment for permit for this work; and in order to
make this application in the form in whichthey desire it., it will
be necessary for the Commission to pass a resolution authorizing
some one to make the application.
Will you, therefore, have the necessary resolution passed
either authorizing yourself or this office to make this applioa-
tion for permit?
I am attaching hereto a blue -print showing the work that was
done, and will say that this work was done by our dredge, the
"Manetto" the material being thrown to the eastward.
Yours very truly,
