Augur
City Commission,
City Hall,
Miami, Florida.
Gentlemen:
We are the attorneys for the Eastern Steamship Corporation, a Maine
corporation, with its prihoipal office in the City of Boston, Maseaohu-
setts.
As attorneys for this corporation, we desire to make application on
its behalf for the use of certain dook spade at the bulkhead of the City
Water Front Park, Miami, Florida. between First and Fifth Streets, for
the purpose of mooring there two large vessels owned by this company for
the purpose of relieving oongeeted conditions in the hotels for the ensu-
ing season. The names of these vessels are the "Boston" and "New York".
well equipped and handsomely appointed vessels, each with 345 staterooms
with sleeping oapaoity in the staterooms for 690 people, with additional
eleepin:r oapaoity in the men'e cabin for 27 and in the women's cabin for
50, making a total sleeping oapaoity of 760 persons for each boat.
Each of these vessels is equipped with a splendid modern dining room,
oapable of aocomodating 200 persons eaoh, and eaoh vessel is also equip-
ped with smoking room oapable of serving 70 persons and a veranda cafe,
oapable of serving 46 persons. In addition to this equipment, each vessel
is provided with a music room and a commodious danoe hall. In short,
these vessels ere oompletely equipped, floating hotels, costing $2,000,000.
each. Roughly, the dimensions are as follows: Length of overguarda, 402
feet; beam overguarda, 72 feet, 6 inches; beam at fifteen -foot water
line, 58 feet; draught of vessels, 17 feet. The minimum depth of water
in which these vessels can safely lie afloat, is 18 feet. In order to
properly accomodate these vessels, it will require at least 1000 feet of
bulkhead epee() in order that 200 feet spade may be left between the ves-
sels. We are advised that the water at the point we have designated and
where we should like to locate these boats, is ample to float the boats.
It would be necessary, in order to properly moor and secure these
boats that five clusters of pile be driven between the bulkhead and each
of these vessels and suitable mooring piles be driven ashore. It will
require at least five mooring piles, two forward two aft and one midahip.
If your oommioaion will grant permission to our client to use and occupy
this space between October, 1925, and May, 1926, it agrees, subject to
the approval of its Board of Directors, which it expects to obtain, to
locate these handsome vessels at the plane designated, fully equipped and
manned with a regular hotel personnel and sea crew, ample to provide for
and look after the safety of the vessels.
They agree further, to abide by and be controlled by the regulations
of the City and State Boards of Health and to co-operate in every manner
in the sanitary regulation of these veeselo, and to work in complete har-
mony with the health Department of the City and State, as well as the
Park Department of the City, whose property abuts upon this shore. And
the steamship company further agrees to co-operate in every manner with
the harbor master in the performance of his duties in and about the plane
where these vessels are located.
For your further information, our client would inform you that it
is endeavoring; to and expects to obtain the oo-operation of the Hotel
Lien's Association and the hotel owners of the City of Miami, in this pro
jeot for the furnishing of adequate hotel faoilities for winter gueato
in Lii am i .
We believe that this serviae tendered the city will be of great
benefit in the coming season and earnestly request your commiesion to
give this matter your immediate consideration and to advise us of your
final determination. We should be pleased to take the matter up with.
you further and furnish you any additional information that you commis-
sion desires.

the City of Miami and Dade County jointly purchase approximately 200 aores of Chap-
man Field from the United States Government to bo used for aeroplane field and for
Fair Grounds. Commissioner Watson stated that the County Commissioners were inter-
ested. in securing the Pan-American Fair and that they would require approximately
100 aores for this purpose. The City Commission expressed itself as being in fa-
vor of Dade County purohasing the lend and the City of Liiami maintain same. LIr.

their next meeting and the City Attorney was instruoted to appear before the County
Commissioners in referenoe to the matter.
OFFER OF ROCK PITS FOR PARKS

park purposes certain county rook pit property if the City would guarantee perpe-
tual upkeep of same as publio parks. The City Commissioners expressed themselves
as being in favor of maintaining the property for city park purposes.
PROPOSED PURCHASE OF VENETIAN CAUSEWAY
FOR PUBLIC
County Commissioner Cecil Watson also raised the question of purchasing the Vene-
tian Causeway or leasing it from the Venetian Islands Company for public use with-
out toll. Mr. J. F. Chaille of the Venetian Islands Company being present stated
that the Company was willing to sell the oauseway but was not in favor of leasing
it. Commissioner J. E. Lummus suggested that the City and the County lease the
oauseway on a basis of paying interest on the investment until suoh time as the
County is in position to purchase same. It was the unanimous opinion of the Com-
mission that the causeway should be owned by the County and not by the City of Mi-
ami or the City of Miami Beach. The City Attorney and the Acting City Manager
were instruoted to go into the matter with the County Commissioners and with Lir.
Chaille and make a recommendation at a later meeting.
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT OF HARBOR JOINTLY BY CITY AND FISHER COIiPANY
Judge W. H. Pride and J. Atwood Walker, representing The Peninsula Terminal Com-
pany,appeared before the Commission and submitted the following written proposal
for the development of the harbor of Miami and Miami Beach:
August 21st, 1925.
TO THE HONORABLE CITY COMMISSION,
CITY OF MIAMI. MIAMI, FLORIDA.
Gentlemen:
The present uncertainty as to the plan to be adopted and the me-
thods to be used in developing the harbor of Miami and Miami Beach,
must be cleared up at en early date, to permit two fisted action to
keep paoe with those rapidly growing communities and surrounding coun-
try, and to relieve the terrible congestion in the harbor.
This Company is very much in favor of early action on the so-oall-
ed "Cotton Plan". We wish to also state that we are not opposed to
other plans which have been discussed, but are primarily interested in
getting action. As you know, we have endeavored to 000perate in the
building up of the harbor and have spent millions in developing our own
terminals. We feel that more rapid progress in this direction could
have been had by a broader policy from all parties concerned and a more
open discussion of plans and objects.
With the thought of bringing this matter before your body in some
oonolusive form, we wish to nuke the following proposal:
1st That the so -culled "Cotton Plan" be developed jointly by the
City of Miami and the Peninsula Terminal Company, the City of Liiami op-
erating from the western end of the island and the Peninsula Terminal
Company from the eastern end of the island. That the island be oonetruo-
ted and operated on e strictly "fifty-fifty basis" - in other words, when
the island is complete the City of Miami will own one-half of the area ex-
tending from the middle of the island to the western extremity, and the
Peninsula 'Terminal compf:,ny will own and operate the eastern half.
2nd That the construction of the island and the channel in all par-
ticulars shall be agreed upon by the engineers of both the City of Miami
and the Penineuis Terminal Company, and that it be constructed under
agreements and absolute guarantees to fully protect each party in the fol-
lowing manner:
(a) That it is to be arranged that the entire Bay Bottom be deeded
to a Trustee, title to revert to the respective parties interested when
the development has been completed to a curtain point.
(b) That a guarantee or a bond be placed in the hands of the Trus-
tee by both parties, guaranteeing the completion of their respective parts.
(o) That these agreements aarovide that should Dither of the parties
not oarry out their part of the construction work, or any portion of their
part of the construction work, that the other party may complete it and
seoure ownership by refun inn the other party an equitable proportion of
the expenditures made by tLe:n oaa their part involved.
3rd That the City of i.iinrni construct a viaduct or bridge oonneoting
the island with the mainland nail extend their munidipal railway to serve
all points on the island. ?he cost of construction of the bridge is to
be covered in the agreement mentioned above, anti will be divided among
the parties conoefned in proportion to their acreage holdings on the is-
land. It is to be further agreed that the Peninsula Terminal Company will
1
1
1
elee, bave the right and support of the City of Miami to oonstruct at their own
eeis coat. a viaduct oonneoting their present island, known es the Harbor Termi-
ee 'nal, and to aeoure the facilities of the munioipal railway on the present
island by providing the necessary traokage, viaducts and bridges without
cost to the oity. It must also be distinctly understood that all docking
facilities in the entire plan shall receive similar railway servioe and
that there shall not be a priority of the dooke as to rail transportation.
4th That the City Commission of the City of Miami ueoevery possible
influenoe, both personally and offioially, to have the Governor': veto of
Senate Bill No. 510 sustained during the special meeting of the Legislature,
which has been called to convene in the near future.
5th That both parties cooperate fully in the entire development, es-
peoially in the mutual approval of plans so as to secure u similar typo of
construction throughout, even to the type of warehouses to be used. This
will prevent needless controversies and will also greatly assist in improv-
ing the aepearanoe of the entire harbor.
This matter is beige. presented by Mr. J. Atwood Walker, Assistant Gen-
eral Manager of the Carl G. Fisher interests and a legal representative from
the firm of Price, Prioe, Healey & Kehoe, who will be pleased to discuss the
matter with you fully and to receive any statements, exoeptions, or addi-
tions to the above proposal that you may oare to make.
Should this proposal meet with your aperoval in a general way, I would
suggest that you instruct your legal representatives to cooperate with our
attorneys in drafting tentative agreements for mutual consideration.
We have disoussed this matter informally with the City Counoil of the
City of Miami Beach and have seoured the signature of eaoh member of that
body in the City at thie time, designating their approval of the plans and
their willingnese to have the Miami Beach part of the ieland handled by the
Fisher intereste.
Reepeotfully submitted,
(Signed) W. A. KOHLHEPP,
Vice ?resident
Also submitted to the Commission was oommunioation addressed to the City Counoil of
Miami Beaoh which oommunioation bore the endorsement of various members of tbe City
Counoil of Miami Beach. The oommunioation is as follows:
August 18th, 1925.
TO THE HONORABLE CITY COUNCIL
OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA.
Gentlemen:
The various members of your body are no doubt familiar with the pre-
sent controversy over harbor improvements, which is delaying developments
to such an extent that it will soon be a serious drawback to the growth
of Miami and Miami Beach.
This Company is interested in the so-oalled "Cotton Plan", which is
the island to be constructed South ar and parallel to the present oause-
way, which provides for a channel between the causeway aM the proposed
island of approximately 1000 to 1200 feet, und which is to carry a depth
of 30 feet. This eepth, and as nearly as possible, a similar width it is
suggested, should be oarried to the ocean.
This Company has been 000perating more or less with the City of Miami
Officials in an effort to secure some notion to relieve the present oonges-
ted harborsituation, and to also provide proper harbor facilities in Miami '
Beech.
To break the °resent deadlock on the situation, we plan to make a pro-
posal to the City Commission of the City of Miami, as follows:
That the Peninsula Terminal Company develop an island in accord-
ance with the Cotton Pion jointly, each to own approximately half
of the island. To insure the proper development and completion
of the island, we will propose that the property be deeded to a
Trustee and both parties furnish bond for the completion of their
part. The Trustee agreement to provide for title to be transferr-
ed to the parties concerned, when the development has reacheci a
certain degree of completion. This guarantee being necessary to
prevent either parties to the agreement from permitting their part
of the development to lay idle and thereby prevent the full roan-,
zation of the other party.
The City of Miami will oonstruot o viaduot to give railroad con-
nection to the present municipal railway, and the cost of the via-
duct will be borne, on an equitable basic', by the two parties con-
oerned.
This is an enormous undertaking and we feel that the Beaoh inter-
ests can be best protected by having this matter handled by the
Fisher interests.
In laying thie before the City Commission of Miami, which we hope
to do without prior publicity, we would like to have the endorse-
ment of the individual members of your Boiler to be covered by a re-
solution to be passed in one of your later forma/ meetingse should
our plan be accepted by the City of Miemi.
In our opinion this is the quickest way to get aotion on our har-
bor situation and I hope you gentlemen will show your approval,
indioating your willingness to pass the proper resolution, which
will be required at some later date, by signing thie letter in the
spaces provided below.
Yours very truly,

City Commission,
Gentlemen:
Please note the attached applioation from the Amerioan Railway
Express Company to erect a tent for handling their congestion. Mr.
Woefle palled at our offioe and told of the oon5.ition they were in,
in regard to housing accommodations for inooming express. Their re-
quest is similar to what they asked for last winter, at which time
it was expeoted that they would have increased facilities to take
oare of this year's business, but so far such facilities do not seem
to be at hand.

Application of American Railway Express Company to, erect a tent.
City Manager,
City Hall,
Miami, Fla.
Dear Sir:
Referring to my application for renewal of permit to ereot a
tent on Florida East Coast property on the same site used last year:
As explained to you that while additional space and equipment
had been provided it was entirely inadequate to take care of the in-
creased volume of express traffic that has been forced upon us by
reason of congested freight traffic we are not handling legitimate
express business but bulky freight such as carloads of struotural steel
and other heavy building material, even sewer pipe weighing over 2,000
pounds.
Never in the history of the express company have we put an em-
bargo on the aooeptanoe of shipments and it is not my desire to es-
tablish any such precedent. We recently received five new trucks of
3-ton oapaoity and have seven more on the way and every effort will be
made to serve the publio and take care of any and everything that comes
our way.
We earnestly ask and beg that the City Commissioners will grant my
request for a tent to be used exclusively for forwarding purposes on-
ly same as last season. The contents are romovod every night immediate-
ly after the olosing of offioe at 5:30 P. LI. an0 the damage from fire
hazards would be very remote.
Respectfully,
(Signed) C. C. WO2PLE

Our Public Market will soon be finished and ready for 000u-

If it meets with your approval, we wouldlike to use the old

We have a tentative lay -out worked up, whioh will probably
need some changes, especially if we do not put a part of the Health.
Department in the old market building, but the jail portion of the
work oould be put under -way at once.
If you authorize this work, I shall ask whether it will be ne-
oessary to advertise for bids on the work.

City Commission.
Gentlemen:
Please note the attached letter from Chief W. R. Coleman, Di-
vision of Fire, as regards vacating his present apartments over
the high pressure pumping Station and recommending the building of
a bungalow on Station #3 grounds at West Flagler Street and loth
Avenue for his needs. In as much as his present quarters are bad-
ly needed for other purposes and in view of tthe fact that the West
Flagler and loth Ave. location seems a good one for his needs, I
would favor and reoommend the change with the idea of making use of
his present quarters for additional fire alarm spaoe, and for hous-
ing the Department of Health, especially the venereal alinio.
Yours respectfully,
(Signed) ERNEST COTTON
Aoting City Manager
August 21, 1925.
Mr. Ernest Cotton,
Acting City Maanager,
Miami, Florida.
Dear Sir:
In e000rdanoe with our conversation yesterday evening, I wish
to recommend that the City build quarters for the Fire Chief at
Station No. 3, located at W est Flagler Street and loth Avenue.
This is nearly the center of town, will be as soon as the ci-
ty extension goes through, and the Chi of will be able to keep in
touch with the activities of the iepart; o:rt day and night almost
as, well as in the present location.

035
My reasons for asking for this change are that we need come
additional apaoe for the Fire Alarm Office, and that there is too
Ouch v4uahle floor apaoe available for offioes that is at present
being used as an apartment. It is imperative that the Chief of the
Fire Department be closely in touch with the activities of the De-
partment, and I do not believe it neoesegry for him to 000upy apaoe
that is so neoessary for other uses.
If this plan meets with your approval, I will immediately have
a small bungalow built on the lot now owned by the City, next to the
Fire Station, and will be able to vacate the present quarters within.
the *next sixty days;
Yours respectfully,

MIAMI: Proposed substitution of Traffio signals for crossing gated.
Mr. Ernest Ootton,
Direotor of Publio Safety,
Miami, Fla,
Dear Sir: -
I am writing to ask if the Oity of Miami would permit us to sub-
stitute, in lieu of our various street crossing gates at Miami, a
dolor light signal system similar to your street traffic signals.
With the Public eduoated to obey these street traffic signals;
as they soon will be, I believe this substitution would be as effec-
tive as crossing gates, and would be in line with your traffio signal
system. The idea would be to have the signals so arranged and oon-
struoted that when a olear signed for s treat traffic is displayed, a
stop signal for trains would be shown and vice versa.
Would you kindly take the matter up with the City authorities
and advise rye what their views are.
Yours very truly,

PRQPERTY FOR MUNICIPAL TRACK PURPOSES
The Aoting City Manager submitted a oommunieation in reference

IN BLOCK 17, NORTH

City Commission.
Gentlemen;
Sometime ago LIr. Wharton wrote to Roger Deering, owner of
.Lots 17, 18 and 19 of Block 17, North, whioh property lies south
of, and abutting the municipal tracks, just oast of the F. E. C.
Ry., with a view of obtaining the north 25 feet of these lots for
municipal track purposes.
LIr. Deering's representative has been into the office on two
or three 000asi ons regarding this, and on his last vie it said that
he had heard from LIr. Deering, who asks that the City make him a
proposition as to what they think is an equitable prioe for this
property. In view of the fact that this should be warehouse pro-
perty, and would have its beat value as such, and also in view of
the fact that the deeding of the north 25 feet would make for bet-
ter track faoilities to these lots, I advised the representative
that it would seem good business and no more than fair, to deed
this 25 foot strip to the City for railroad purposes.
Lir. Deer.ing's representative suggests that it would probab-
ly oarry weight with LIr. Deering if the Commission vA uld advise
.him to this effect.
Yours resgeotfully,
( Signed) ERNEST COTTON
acting City Manager
And it being the sense of the Commission that the benefits to the property affeoii'ed
would be adequate compensation for the 25 feet needed by the City a resolution wis
introduced by Mr. Wilson which is as follows: { .
