PLATS OF SUBDIVISIONS IN 'TOWN OF SILVER BLUFF REQUEST OF TOWN OF SILVER BLUFF IN RE: The City Manager submitted a communication addressed to him from H. C. Costello in reference to the approval by the City Commission of plate of subdivisions of pro- perty located in the Town of Silver Bluff which communication is as follows: April 13th, 1925. Ur. Frank H. Wharton, City Manager, City of Miami, Florida. Dear Sir: A short while ago I called upon you requesting on behalf of the Town of Silver Bluff that the City of Miami refuse in the fu- ture to approve plats of subdivisions lying wholly within the cor- porate limits of the Town of Silver Bluff until after the said plats are officially approved by the Town of Silver Bluff. At that time I pointed out to you that a short while ago the City of Miami, through its City Commission, approved the plate of the subdivisions Vedado and other subdivision lying within the li- mits of the Town of Silver Bluff which plats had never been pre- sented to they Town of Silver.Bluff for approval. As you oan readi- ly see thin prooedure seriously interferes with the right of the Town of Silver Bluff to approve these plats and to properly oare for the details conneoted with the assessment and taxes and other governmental functions in connections with the lands so subdivided. As I suggested to you, ,possibly the City Commission of the City of :.lemi will agree that the proper course of procedure in connection with plata of land lying within the Town of Silver Bluff is to ur of.Ci o Tally approve said plats and advise the persons sub- dividing said lands to present the plats to the Town of Silver Bluff for olt'ic fell. eperoval. T'hie procedure would not interfere with the proper development of property outside of Miami and would enable the Town of Silver Bluff to properly exercise its municipal funoetions in regard to said lands. Trusting that an arrangement of this kind will be agreeable to the City Commission I request that you favor me with an early reply as to the manner in wbioh situations of this kind oan be handled .properly by the Town of Silver Bluff. Very sincerely yours, (Signed) HAROLD C. COSTELLO. It was the sons° of the Commission that there was nothing that the City of Miami oould do to assist the Town of Silver Bluff in requiring the plats of subdivisions of land lying within that Town toVbe submitted to the Counoil of Silver Bluff for approval before being approved by the City of Miami and there was no action taken on the communication submitted in refere me to same. COMMUNICATION IN RE: BRIDGE AT SW 2ND ST. FROM IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION Commissioner J. H. Gilman submitted a oommunioation addressed to him from Mr. J. T. Feaster, Chairman of SW 2nd Street Improvement Association, in referenoe to bridge across the Miami River at SW 2nd Street, which, after being read, was order- ed filed and oopied upon the minutes: Miami, Florida, April 20, 1925. Mr. James H. Gilman, City. Dear Sir: We respectfully request that you place before the City Com- missioners the projeot of building a Bridge across the Miami River at 5. W. Second Street. This matter has been presented to the Commissioners before with the signatures of several hundred per- sons who ovm property on S. W. Second Street who wish this street widened to 50 feet. We believe the owners would also oo-operate with the Commissioners in having a White Way and making this Street a wide, well -lighted thoroughfare from S.W.17th Ave. to the Bay, which would certainly fill a long felt want in the matter of reliev- ing traffic that has to go over the Flagler Street Bridge at the present time. We ure conscientious in our belief that S.W. Second Street is the logical street for the Bridge, as we believe S.W. 1st Street is too near Flagler and in addition does not go through to the Bay and S.W. 3rd Street only goes through to Miami Ave. We would appreciate it if you would bring this matter before the Commissioners for discussion. We will be glad to co-operate in any way that we oan be of service, in getting dedications and any other way you may suggest. Yours very truly, S. W. 2ND STREET IMPROVEiMMENT ASSOCIATION By (Signed) J. T. FEASTER Chairman.
