Agreeable with your suggestion, I am attaohing hereto print
showing the desire of the Venetian Islands Company in making fill
of submerged land which they have obtained from the State. 0n

lands deeded to the City of Miami, which it would seem best to
fill for future park or other municipal purposes.
You will note that the boundary of this submerged area is the
south line of Lolling Bridge, but in the filling soheme we have
established the northern boundary of the fill at a distance of bet-
ter than 300 feet South of the Collins Bridge and the Venetian Ie-
lands Causeway fill, for the purpose of giving free flow of tide
and also for the handling of such floating oraft as might desire
the free nee of Biscayne Bay to the north of the Causeway.
It is my underatandirg that should the City at any time so
desire, the Venetian Islands Company will construct a bridge from
their property to the proposed Cite -property.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) ERNEST COTTON

Mr. Frank K. Ashworth appeared before the Commission and stated that the new boun-
daries of the City of Miami proposed to be voted upon at an eleotion to be held
September 2nd would inoorporate part of the subdivision development known as
"Miami Shores" and requested, on behalf of the developers, that the subdivision
be not inoorporated within the City of Miami until the developers had completed
their improvement program. The matter was discussed by the Commission and it was
the sense of the members present that the boundaries as fixed by the Ordinance
adopted July 7th should not be ohanged. Messrs. Roy Wright and Ployd Knight. At-
torney for the developers, also appeared before the Commission and asked what
might be expeoted in the way of improvements in "Miami Shores" in the event the
subdivision is taken into the City and if the City would be willing to take over
any publio utilities they might have. It was the sense of the Commission that the
City would take over the utilities at the proper time.
