DIVIDING CITY INTO ELECTION PRECINCTS, PROVIDING VOTING PLACES, CONDUCT OF ELECTIONS
The City Attorney submitted the following communication addressed to the Commission
in reference to dividing the City into election precincts, providing polling planes,
providing for registration of electors and the conduct of municipaleleotions:
November 13, 1925.
Honorable City Commissioners,
Miami, Florida.
Gentlemen:
I have prepared an ordinance dividing the City of Miami in-
to_
election preoinots, providing a polling place in eaoh precinct
and providing for the registration of electors and the conduct of
municipal eleotions.
Under tha present law, the voting place for the City has been
at the City Hall, however, with the City now enlarged by the re-
cent annexation election held on September 2nd, it is clearly out
of the question to require all persons to register and vote in
eaoh City election at the City Hall.. It is my idea that the voters
should vote in the respective territory in which they reside, for
instance, those residing in Coconut Grove to vote in Coconut Grove
and not require them to oome up to the City Hall.
I think we are very much id need of the passage of this Or-
dinance and when the provisions of same are put into effect, I
believe it will greatly facilitate the holding of ourmunicipal
elections and avoid the confusion with which we are always con -
fronted.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) J. W. WATSON, Jr.
City Attorney.
Whereupon the provisions of the ordinance were examined by the Commission and the
same'meeting with the approval of the Commission upon motion duly made and seconded
it was resolved that the Charter requirement that ell ordinanoes be read on two se-

HARBOR DEVELOPMENTS - WITHDRAWAL OF FISHER INTEREST.
The following oommunioation addressed to the Commission from The Peninsula Terminal
Company was received and after being read was ordered filed and copied upon the min-
utes of the meeting:
November 16, 1925.
City Commissioners,
Miami, Fla.
Gentlemen:
In view of the importance that the time element brings into
the question of the Harbor Development, it would seem necessary at this
time to bring the matter to a close focus by the presentation to the City
Commission of the facts of our entry and participation in this all impor-
tant projeot to the end that which has been merged into a controversy
should be resolved into concrete notion and a speedy disposition of the
question that promises. if not settled et this time, to continue on in-
definitely.
In order to do so and to make our position clear, it is neces-
sary to set down in proper order the cooperation that Wue offered from
the beginning and I will endeavor to do so as briefly as the magnitude
of the problem makes possible, and with the hope that this chronological
presentation of facts will be reoeived in the spirit of bettor understand-
ing and harmony that is intended.
It is knovaa to members of the City Commission that when this
Harbor Development project was incepted some years ago, in order to faeili-
*tate prompt action an offer was made by IIr. Fisher to the City of Miami at
an open meeting of the I.iiami Chamber of Commerce to transfer his holdings
south of the Government channel to the City of Miami for dock purposes at
cost, which was approximately $G5,000, adding that if there were any fin-
ancial obstacles in the way of an outright purchase at this low figure he
would make a gift of these holdings.
Mr. Fisher was strongly of the opinion that a real harbor could
have been constructed at a great saving of time and money by the use of
this property and the islands to the South for dock purposes and that the
City of Miami would secure the additional advantage of having the shipping
with its usual objeotionable features removed some distance from its beau-
tiful water front.
On or about December 1, 1924, we reoeived our first advises of
the so-called "Cotton Plan" of Harbor Development through your Commission,
which we endorsed as being the best plan in our opinion which had been pre-
sented up to that time.
Inasmuch as the City of Miami did not have the power or authority
under its charter to disburse public funds for improvements beyond the city
limits, we immediately made plans to assist in the general Herber project
by developing that section of the "Cotton Plan" which came within the city
limits of Miami Beach. With this in view we purchased this area of bay bot-
tom from the Internal Improvement Board of the State of Florida at ra price
of $1,000 per acre, depositing S10,000 with that Board as an evidence of
good faith, pending delivery of formal deed. Subsequently those funds were
returned to us with the statement that this sale would not be consummated
until after the meeting of the Legislature.
It was contemplated by your Commission to secure the title to the
bay bottom within the city limits of Miami through e speoial act to late passed
during the Session of tha last Legislature. While the Legil:irature was in
Session the writer was in Tallahassee on other businees and made particular
inquiries without success regarding the Bay Bottom Bill for the City of
Miami. Shortly thereafter we received word while in New York that a bill
had been presented and passed granting to the City of I.Ii:ami the entire bay
bottom under consideration, including the Miami Beech area.
As the City had no authority to improve the bay bottom beyond its
city limits and not being advised by your Commission, we were forced to the
conclusion that the City Commission did not desire the development of that
portion of bay bottom included in the city limits of Miami Beach.
I have recently been advised that shortly after the passage of
the Bay Bottom Bill special legislation wsc obtuiued emondine the charter of
the City of Lliemi wherein the Commission is authorized and emr,n.=: er.ed to ex-
pend funds for the improvement and extension of docks and channels at uny
point between the present harbor of the City of Miami and the Atlantic Ocean.
Due to a lack of contact and advises as to the Commission's plums, this con-
templated further legislation being unknown to ue, the object of the Bay
Bottom Bill was incomprehensible. We, therefore, brought every possible
pressure to secure the Governor's veto to the Bay Bottom will, believing
that it was inequitable and damaging to the interest of IY.it.rrai i%eaoh.
Following the Governor's veto there ware numerous informal con-
ferences on this \subject between ourselves and the various members of your
Commission. As a result, we submitted under date of August 19, 1925, e
suggestion for the harbor improvement along the lines of the so-called "Cot-
ton Plan" to be developed jointly by the City of Miami and the Peninsula
Terminal Company, presenting at the same time evidence oi' the feast that the
authorities of the City of Miami Beach approved our „articipation in the

development. The offer of 000peration and joint development em-
bodied in our letter of August 19, 1925, was cuito evidently re-
Oeived by your Commission sinoe the City Attorney VaiS directed to
oonfer with our attorneys, Messrs. Price end ?Hoe, and draw up
a tentative agreement which was submitted for rnu'tuel considera-
tion. Suoh an agreement woo peE peree and submitted by our repre-
sentative to the City Commie:sloe, rmieh ineloated Its infernal
approval of its terms.
We therefore believed that our e:fforto at 000peration
were at last to bear :fruit oncl net work on this important pro-
ject could be promptly i.neueureterl.
As a further evidence of cur effort at cooperation be-
cause of the lack of Federal funds to enable tho United States
Engineers to proceed with the work of the Government in the chan-
nel, we offered by telegraph to advance: `250,000 which, under the
law, could be loaned to the Government for that specific purpose,
which amount, without interest, was to be reinburseci only when
funds should become ave ileable . Permit mo to u;ra:in point out that
this was but an additional effort on our pert to expediate the
Harbor Development 41n0e the work of widening end deepening the
channel was imperative to the completion of any harbor or dook
development. This offer on our part was the oocesion of favora-
ble editorial oomment and we were under the impression that the
entire projeot was progressing in a satisfactory- way. However,
at this point we were unofficially advised that there were cer-
tain legal obstacles which prevented the issuance of bonds which
were necessary to finance the development, and we are now advised
that a new plan of general harbor development in substitution for
ell previous plane, and having the a pproveal of all of the repre-
sentative civic bodies of the City of i.liemi has been presented
for the approval of your commission. This new plan seems to pre-
sent some desirable additione to, and mock f. ice tioris of the "Cot-
ton Plan"; and it is our desire that you be free to act promptly
upon it, untrammeled by previous negotiations with us.
We are advised that the proposed joint arrangement will
require an outlay by this company of from two to seven million
dollars. Contrary to expressed opinion thin company has never
considered this a highly remunerative investment and would be
glad to be relieved of participation if the harborproject can be
otherwise carried to a speedy succeos anti thus relieve the pre-
sent overtaxed faoilities and if in the opinion of the Commission
suoh participation by the Peninsula Terminal Company, which was
authorized by the City Council of the City of LIiead Beech, is no
longer deemed essential to the best interest: of treater Miami.
We now review our negotiations an3 express our willing-
ness to withdraw in order that the City Commission may not /eel
in any way bound or 'obligated by previous negotiations or proposals
and that the matter may go forward in the uy that the Commission
deoides will best serve the interests oi' the entire community.
In the event that our withdrawal appears act ineble, we wish to
assure the Commission of our continued good will cooperation.
Sincerely,
THE PEbIN;;ULA T::UiiL L COMPANY,

ceived and after being read was ordered filed cane copied upon the minutes of the
meeting and is as follows:
November 16, 1925.
•
TO THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE OITY OP MIAMI.
Gentlemen:
In compliance with the authority you vested in me as a member of
the City Planning Board I.E., to augment the planning board by creat-
ing a separate and distinot board for the purpose of investigating the
*hole question of Harbor Development and reporting to your body our
findings and suggestions for your guidance. I submit for your con-
sideration the following report of tho board appoint; the board oon-
sisting of the following members:
Ur. Casper Hefty, Miami,
Mx. August Geiger, Miami andMiami Beach,
Mr. Hamilton Michelson, Miarri,
Mr. Phillip Dusenbery, Miumi.
Mr. C. H. Russell, Miami.
Mr. I. E. Sohilling, Miami.
Mr. J. K. Dorn, Miami.
Mr. W. H. Burwell, Miami,
Mr. M. B. Garris, Miami,
Col. S. W. Altstaetter, Savannah,
LIr. John B. Orr, Miami.
The Beard held its meeting in the News Tower Building where it.
oould have a full view of the whole waterfront and Bay; quarters for
our meeting being kindly furnished us by the Miami News and Metropo-
lis Publishing Company.
Realizing the very apparent importanoe of a correct analysis of
the whole situation, I took upon myself the responsibility of aoquir-
ing expert service and help and after consultation with people of
known intelligence on Harbor Development, I obtained the service of
Col S. W. altstaetter, retired. Col. Altstaetter is a graduate of
West Point School of Engineering and was assistant Professor of En-
gineering at West Point after his graduation. He has had twenty years
experience in River and Harbor work, this experience extending over
and including such projects as piers, jetties, breakwaters, dikes,
shore proteotion, sea walls, docks, dredging and port terminals. Col.
Alstaetter also served for a number of years as District Engineer of
the Southeastern Division; this Division including among the other
parts, the Harbor, Terminal and water developments of Miami.
I also called into consultation Mr. M. B. Garris of Miami, a lo-
cal engineer of known ability in Harbor Development. Col. Alstaetter,
LIr. Garris and myself have been steadily at work on the investigation
for the last ten days preparing data which was presented to the afore
mentioned Board for their oareful consideration.
The Board at its meeting took up the various plans that had been
submitted and with the aid of the Harbor Engineers carefully analyz-
ed each projeot without any bias being guided only by their desire to
aid in whatever measure they could in bringing about the best develop-
ment of our Harbor.
The Board was fully familiar with the foot that the great bene-
fits to be derived from Harbor, brought with it also certain "Evils"
greatest amongst these being the danger and oertainty of unsightly
conditions surrounding the immediate vicinity of Docks, recognizing
the need of Miami to always hold intaot its beautiful environment,
the Board viewed all the projects with this important feat ever pre-
sent in their mind.
The Board took up for consideration first the plan known as the
"Sewell Plan," and very oarefully considered it from every viewpoint;
they arrived at the opinion that the "Sewell Plan," failed in many
ways to meet the requirements of our needs. Chief among which was
the fact that in no way did it provide for future extensioa and that
it also had a tending to create a similiar oondition on Bay Front
property in its immediate vicinity similiar to the unsishtly condi-
tions that prevail today in the vicinity of the present docks. •
The Board felt that if the development of our Harbor could be
brought about without damagingour bay front it should be done. They
felt that equal consideration should be given to all the bay front
and not any speciel part of it. The Board also felt that there was
a great danger of creating traffic oongestion at a point that is al-
ready overtaxed.
The Board also gave careful considertion to tho plan known as
the "Cotton Plan," which proposes joint ownership of hay bottom land
immediately south of the present causeway and the filling on this
site of an island that provides for marginal wharfs. This island be-
ing connected at the west end with the mainland by a causeway or via-
duct a e point adjacent to the municipal railway and connected at the
eat end of the Island by a similiar viaduct with the Harbor develop-
ment of the Harbor Terminal Company. It provides for a joint dwelop-
ment of this Island that is to be created on these bay bottoms.
The Board is fully alive to the absolute foot that Miami must
view its development from a reginal aspect and not from a narrow short-
sighted viewpoint and is in full accord with the linking up of a plan
that will group this Harbor development in a centralized manner provid-
ing at the same time an extension that takes into consideration Mierni
Beech as well as Miami.

The Board after viewing carefully all the pointe of the
"Cotton Plan," was of the opinion that it had several epee:rent
weaknesses that greatly affected it utility. The pin oolls
for the dredging of o 300 foot ()henna? around the Teland. Tho
fact that the connectIons between the wect end of tho Island
and the meinland and the eaot sand of the Irlana elle the Harbor
Terminal is by means of o viaduct or oiitooway with e drew -bridge,
in the opinion of the Board destroys the effectIvenere of the
South side of the Islend for wharfe beceuee of the necessity of
boats requiring to go through o draw t reach aockine on the
south side of the Islend; this would create a dengerous end un-
favorable oondition that might effeot ehip insurance of veesels
using this dockage and would in all probably be viewed unfaror-
able by the U. S. Board of Engineers. Under this conditon the
dredging of a 300 foot channel on the south side of tho island
would be a waste of money.
The "Cotton Plan," also fuils to grasp the opportunity of
oreeting a means of beautifying the project that would in no
way effeot its usefulness.
Thete is merit in both plans, Line the Board hair hod pre-
sented to it a plan that we will cull a "Suegested Plun," a
copy of which is herein elected in your hands. I also attach a
report on same by Col. 6. 1. Altsteetter.
You will note first we show a chunnel between the present
causeway and the north line of the proposea Island of 6 full
800 feet in width giving full and ample access to the various
slips. The drawing has not _seen fully developed one half has
been developed and the other half etched in. It shows nine Blips
which area gives more dock space than either of the other piens.
More room has been used than is neceesery for these slips and
in the actual development of the pion additional slips could be
tade.
The plan does not show or indicate the conneetion between
the east end of the island and the Harbor Terminal Company prop-
erty, whioh Harbor development is nearing completion; this conneo-
tion if this plan is adopted should of course be made at the most
advantageous point to this concern, the plan indicates a cause-
way connection for Rail and notor vehicles et the west end of the
island with the mainland at a suggested point on the south side
of the P & 0 Company's property. If an arrangement can be arrived
at between the officials of thiF company one the City, the Board
believes that it would be adventeoeons to both parties. The join-
ing of the Municipal railroad with the F E C in the nee of the
same viaduct, would give access to both pertice, to all shipping
using the docks. Sidings on the Buy front could be eliminated
and this space could be developed ena beeutified in a way that
would link up with the oontemplated Hu e front development. The
"Suggested Plan," when completed would provide sufficient Dock-
age without the use of the present municipel alipo. This area
could also be developed and made 8 part of the Bay front park fea-
ture using the slips as yacht baeins.
You will note that the dietance between the mainland to the
first slip is over 3,000 feet; you will else note that on the
west end of the Island is created a peek and thet a perked road-
way extends all along the south side of the Islend. Presenting
a scheme of screen planting thet will give the Island a good ap-
pearance from the City, if the old or present causeway is else
beautified with the same scheme of planting, we thinh you will
create an aesthetic environment that will in a large measure re-
move the objectional features Mutt come from docks without in
any way interfering with their usefelness.
The Board feels that this plan ocoupyne the area of the
"Cotton Plan," is a big improvement on any 02 the plans submitted.
The linking up with the Beach Terminal Development; combines both
territories that jointly take cure not only of the immediate needs
of the city but for many many years to come; as Col. Altstaetter
says tho big point of the suggested elan is its elasticity and its
adaptability of development to meet future needs if required.
Engineer M. B. Gerrie who drew the pion known us the "Sewell
Plan," made tho statement before the Board that the "Sewell Pion,"
was all right for the Miami of five years aeo but he was forced
to admit that the great and unequelled development of LI1art had
made that plan impracticable. T eimply bring this stetement to
your attention to show the broad minded way this gentlemen and
other members of the Board henelea the whole investigetion.
The Board from a very careful inveetleetion of all points re-
spectfully recommend for adoption as the most feasible plan for
Harbor Development the plan now submitted end known as "Suggested
Plan," and that no time should be lost in completing the arrenge-
ment both as to purchase of the neeeceele buy bottom lend and the
arriving at a suitable aereement with the Miami eeech inteeeste and
others concerned for the completion of this Harbor Development.

Mr. John B. Orr
Acting Chairman
Planning Board
Miami, Florida
October. 17, 1925.
Dear Sir:
I submit herewith drawing showing compromise plan for the
development of terminal facilities for Miami Tlarbor. The Sewell
plan and the Cotton plan are also indicated In a general way on that
drawing.
The proposed or compromise plan is south of and adjacent to
the present municipal channel and covers much of the same area es
the "Cotton Plan''.
As indicated on the drawing, it provides a filled in island
in Biscayne Bay with a series of slips and piers, railway tracks and
highways, parking along the south and west sides and a causeway for
a railroad and a highway oonneeting with the shore. Transit sheds
and warehouses are not shown but are part of the plan. the piers are
on the north side of the terminal and adjacent to the municipal chan-
nel. The government will widen this channel to 200 feet and it is
proposed to widen it 600 feet additional making a channel of 800 feet
and also to dredge out the main slips to the depth of 25 feet to cor-
respond with the government project. It is probable that further con-
sideration would narrow the channel from 800 to 700 feet.
The causeway is shown running near the south side of the F.
E. C. Railroad dock property. This location will give the best en-
trance and exit to this property from the channel and the causeway
should be pamshed as far south as possible. Property lying south of
the causeway couldn't well be used for a terminal for large vessels.
If the causeway runs north of the F. E. C. property there will be
trouble with the Railroad and the U. S. '"ar Department who might re-
fuse a permit for the work.
The form of the east end of the proposed fill is shown just
as it was in the "Cotton Plan", but a different form would undoubtedly
be actually built if this compromise plan was used.
Full provision for lighters is provided and lighterage to
points in Miami River particularly, would probably be popular.
It is assumed that all city terminal facilities will finally
be in the new development, the old city water front property now used
for shipping being devoted to a yaoht basin or other appropriate pur-
pose.
No estimates of oost are f unished. They would very greatly
in change of details and no estimates are known for the other plans
shown.
The following advantages are claimed for the proposed compro-
mise plan.
1. Because they allow • more intensive use of the water front,
piers and slips are behind to be better practice than marginal wharves
as proposed in the "Cotton Plan''. Under oertain conditions of currents,
shoaling and width of channel marginal wharves are preferred but these
conditions do not obtain in Miami Harbor.
2. The work is not off in a separate channel but is adjacent
to the main channel and in effect inoreases its width from 200 to 800
Ft. This increase is a great advantage to vessels entering and leav-
ing the harbor and materially iMproves the general harbor.
3. The beautification by means of parking will .screen the
work from the main shore and will provide a delightful driveway and
park for the publio. It oan easily be omitted and additional slip
built and the filling decreased on the south side but as drawn it is
believed worthwhile.
4. It preserves the advantage of the "Cotton Plan" in provid-
ing a possible physical oonneotion to the ocean front Property south
of the harbor entrance.
5. It does not put the causeway between the F.B.O. wharf
property and the entrance channel.
6. The distance between the shore and the fill has been in-
creased from 2000 feet in the "Cotton Plan" to 2500 feet. This will
provide more space for tidal flow and will also make it easier to get
government approval.
7. The most important of all the advantages is the; elasticity
of the scheme which allows great expansion in the facilities provided
and alteration in the details of the work while everything still dove-
tails into the general plan.
About half the work is shown in full lines and about half in
dotted lines but it is the idea to start the work by building the
causeway and such slips nearest the city as are immediately needed.
adding others as required. When these new slips and piers are added
they can be longer or shorter, narrower or wider all without impair-
ing the usefulness of the work already built. It in probable that
more than the nine slips shown would be built if the whole line of
piers were developed as both slips and piers are shown very wide and
could be narrower. Should larger ships come in than anticipated
the outer part of the channel can be made 1000 feet or more side in-
stead of 800 by moving back the outer ends of the uiers. In addi-
tion to narrower and hence more slips, additional ones can probably
be provided by extending the island toward the beech.
The Sewell plan shows 12,000 feet of berthing space and the
Cotton Plan 20,800, but a causeway from the terminal.: to the beach
Novel:bcr li,tb, lee).
would reduoe this latter to leas than half for ;a11 preetioal pu.rpo:ion ae lvrge ;iiript
strongly resist going through bridge openings. The proposed i:,ir.in sUowea 25,200 feet
of berthing space which oan be increased if ieeirod by i.ncxeeoie,; the number of slips
or by increasing their depth, or both.
When and if the City of Miami starts on this elm', hor citizens con be sure they
; are not burning their bridges behind them but instead they cen develop their :faoili-
ties with greet freedom and all in harmony with what they hrivo el:ready clone.
