WATER MAINS AND FIRE HYDRANTS AT JACKSON MEMORIAL HOSPITAL The City Manager submitted a oommunioation in referenoe to fire -fighting facilities needed at Jackson Memorial Hospital whioh is as followe; April 8tb, 1925. City Commission, Miami, Florida. Gentlemen: I am attaching hereto a recommendation from the Chief of the Fire Department for improvement in the fire -fighting faoilitiee at the Jaokaon Memorial Hospital. At preeent the Hospital is almost without fire proteotion, there being only one hydrant looated within reaoh and the water preeseure extremely low on a000unt of the small water mains in the looality. The Miami Water Company has agreed to extend its large water main on NW 20th Street from 5th Avenue to loth Avenue, thence South on l0tb Avenue to 17th Street. The City will then have to lay its own water main around the blook on whioh the Hoe- pital buildings are looated and install 6 or 7 hydrants, whioh will then give adequate fire proteotion to the buildings. The cost of laying the 6 inoh oast iron main around the Hospital grounds will be approximately $5,000, a000rding to the estimated fur- nished by the Director of Public Service. As these extensions are so badly needed to afford ample means of proteoting the City Hospital Buildings, I would recommend that you pass a resolution authorizing the City Manager to have this work done the ooet thereof to be charged to whatever fund is available for this work. Reepeotf ally. (Signed) F. H. WHARTON Oity Manager (Communication from Fire Chief): . April. 3rd, 19938. Mr. F.H. Wharton, pity Manager, City of Miami, Fla. Dear Sirs - In regard to fire proteotion at "Jaokaon Memorial Hospital" beg to advise, that interior private proteotion is all that can be desired, but the installation of additional fire plugs is im- praotioable with the present water supply. I, therefore, recommend that the present mains on N. W. 7tb St. (6in.) be extended West to limits of hospital grounds, thence, north to a point midway between hospital site, and incinerator about 18th Court to N. W. loth Avenue (approximately) this to be six inoh main, with hydrants located approximately three hundred (300) feet apart. This will have to be done at the expense of the City, as it is on private property, but Mr. Hyman, manager of the local water company, has agreed to lay an eight inoh main on N.W. 10th Avenue from NW 17th Street to NW 20th Street and East on NW 20th Street to NW 5th Avenue, there conneoting with a sixteen (16) inoh main. This will give us adequate supply of water to the hospital not only for fire proteotion, but for domestic use, as I have been informed that there has been a serious shortage of water for ordi- nary use. It will also protect a number of buildings in this dis- trict that are at present almost without proteotion. Reepeotfully submitted, (Signed) W. R. COLT MAN Chief, Fire Department. It was the sense of the Commission that the water mains should be'extended and firs rants installed and a resolution authorizing the work -done was introduoed by Mr. flex and is as follows: 111111 IIIIIJ111pa1Im 1111111 III111II RESOLUTION NO. 1915.
