Mr. Francis M. Miller, Chairman, and others of a Committee from the Ch:amber of Com-
meroe oamb before the Commission and submitted a proposition for the purohe e by the
City of a section of land lying south and west of the prooent Golf Course et ilieleah
to be used for a flying field. The Committee stated it 'VIP n ce sery the t o suitable .
field be provided if Government is to furnish air mail oorviue. It was the eenoe of
the Commission that the City could not purchase such a field et this time because of
lack of funds, but that a plan might be worked out whereby the City could rent the
field until funds were available for the purchase of same. On motion duly made and
seconded, the matter was referred to the City Manager to determine whether or not the
field might be rented.
ALLOCATION OF SPACE - CITY DOCKS
Members of the City Traffic Commission oame before the Commission and submitted their
recommendation for allocation of warehouse and Book facilities at Municipal docks,
which is as follows:
Miami, Florida
' March 1st, 1926.
To the Honorable City Commission
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Commission:
The City Traffic Commission, appointed by,your body on Oct. 19, 1925,
desires to submit a report of its activity since its conception. The
City Traffio Commission was created by en ordinance passed and adopted
by the City Commission on'Oot. 19, 1925.
Several days before the appointment of this Commission, the Com-
missioners found that there existed considerable freight congestion in
the yards cf the Florida East Coast Railroad in Miami, there being some-
thing over a thousand oars in the yards. The majority of these cart;
had been on hand for sometime, due to the fact that consignees were not
unloading oars promptly upon arrival. We also found that there was oon-
gestion existing in the warehouse of the C17de Line, Beltimore Carolina
Steamship Company, Merchants ➢e Miners Transportation Co., and (gulf le
Southern Steamship Company. Our Commission called in the es: itrance of
the Telephone Company and had them install six telephones, end through
this and other means the consignees were reaohed and within e few weeks
the yards of the FEC Railway were praotioally down to normal end the
warehouses of the steamship lines were free from their congestion. The
City Traffic Commission was assured by Mr. H. N. i:odenbe,ugh, Vice -?resi-
dent and General Manager of the FEC Railway, and bit. J. H. Owens, Gen.
Supt. of 'Transportation, FEC Railway, that when the yards were free from
congestion the FEC Railway would bring into Miami 250 curiofsds of freight
per day. The FEC Railway did not live up to their promise, rand as Chair-
man Graves and Director Grady had been previously assured by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, through Commissioner ,,ic:,ianarny ;and _airector. of
Service Bartel, that they would assist the consignees of Miami to their
full capacity, we caused these two Commissioners to hold informal confer-
ence at Miami end other points along the East Coact. As e result of this
oonferenoe, and our giving the Interstate Commerce Commission the facts
as we believed them, there is at present no embargo on the F'':C_c ilway
with the exception of oertain building materials, the remainder of the
traffic flowing freely without permits.
At the time of the freight congestion, we saw that the only relief
to the consignees must Dome through' the means of water trensportetion,
and we immediately interested the American Cuban Steamship Company in
establishing a direot line from New York to Miami . This line is serv-
ing the consignees of Miami well, and since beginning their operations
it will be found from the records that they have brought nore freight
with limited facilities for docking than any other line operating into
the Port. We also desire to state that during the tire the hrarbor was
blocked by the schooner "PRTNS VALDEMAR", the Clyde Line, while unload-
ing their boats at Fisher's Island, curtailed their _freight services
materially, likewise the LLMT Company, the refs Se, Company, and the BPeC
Ss Company, with the exception of unloading 500 tons from one of their
boats at Fisher's Island, absolutely rendered no assistance to the con-
signees at Miami. The nmerioan Cuban Line ran regu.lur services to
Miami, docking at Fisher's Island, and gave the consignees the same serv-
ice they heel received prior to the blocking of the channel, however,
we are told at a cost of about .$30,000.00 to the American Cuban ;iia Co.
This Commission during the first month of its existence, met prac-
tically every day; we then had regular meetings three times a week, Llon-
days, "'ednesdays and Fridays. For the past three weeks we have been
holding regular meetings every Wednesday, with call meetings when neces-
sary. In ell we have held 58 meetings. The Truffle Commissioners hove
given about 750 of their time to this work and ever,; one of the Commis-
sioners has taken a great interest in the situation, -riving ;grave thought
to the problems confronting them.
From figures taken from the office of the Dock Superintendent we
find that the four regular lines, so to speak, serving; the .i?ort of Miami,
handled 185 ships into the port during October, November, December, Janu-
ary and February, the majority of which ateumers carried passengers end
little freight. We find thut the lines other then there serving the port
with reeu.lar elloted docking facilities handled 112 steamships, during
the same period_ which steamers were loaded to their capacity with freight
of all descriptions. It must also be borne in mind thut u grout number
of steamers other than regular line bouts=, have docked at Fisher's Island,
Not having the records before us, we are unable to furnish the exact
number. In addition to the steamships handled, 142 schooners loaded
with lumber and other cargoes entered the Port. Tt in, therefore, esti-
mated from reliable sources that the four regular lines handled aperoxi-
mutely 30% of the freight traffic moved into Lliarrri via water.
BIDS
Myroh 1, 1926.
WO have oome to the oonolueion that if the nuthoritien of Miami
allow our terminal facilities to be utilinea solely bya certain
group of steamship interests that we connot expect to vor obtain
the proper economic trannportation rervicon that prevail at other
points. With this in mina, wo have prepared and we now desire to
submit to you. gentlemen, :•:xhibit No. 1, shc,71n7 the or on t r t 0 0
that apply to Miami an compared with '!Ilorido .out}! Atlantic and
Gulf Ports, both vie water told r,Jil and all wator. Aefle exhibits
show that the consi7nees at Miami aro paying unfair ond dincriminetory
freight retes to the present 9teamship linon. At the present time
the water 8rid rail linen enterin the '31ty of idiom/ have no 0rram7e-
mente in effect providing for the bnnc1linp of throuQl) bueinen'i7 tc
interior points. Such arrangements are in eZfeet at ail other
South Atlnatio and leaf Ports, which constitutos discrimination a-
gainst the Port ofeliami. For inetance: e shif,per at flow York or
any other point con tyke out a through bill of ledin7 to any point
within the State of Floride via either Jaoksonville or ..empa, but
when moving through Miami he must eonsien his shipment to Miami ard
have a representative here accept delivery fror! the =ter carriers,
transport across town, and take out 11 new hill of lAing via the
rail carriers.
If theePort of Miami is -to grow, manifently it must have the
same advantages as are effeotive ut other ports with which it mutt
oompete. It is to be loped thet if the carriers will not voluntarily
place this Port on an equality with other Ports, that means can be
found whereby the entire matter con be presented to the Interetate
Commerce Commission, before whioh body we ::are confident we will se-
cure an equitable adjuntment.
Competition is the life of trade, therefore, with this in view
the Traffic Commission has endeavored to nerve the nhippers, oon-
signees, and steamship interests alike, weighing their problems very
gravely. In the interest of all concerned, we believe that we are
in better position than any other body of men in the City to allot
and properly distribute our dock facilities. The time is not long
before the dooking of schooners on the Park Front will hove to be
discontinued. With all this in mind, we have prepared Exhibit No.
2, whioh in our opinion should be the proper method of elloting
spaoe on the docks to the various steamship lines.
Respectfully submitted,
CITY TRAFF/C COaiL:i6ION

Sidewalk District 53:
February 24, 1926
Mr. F. H. Wharton
City Manager
Miami, Florida
Dear Sir;
• An error was made in the preparation of Preliminary Assess-
ment Roll covering Sidewalk District Sk. 53, in that Lot 6 Block 92 -
South was assessed 29.7' A $1.14317 - $33.95. This lot should not have
been assessed, but instead Lot 5 Block 92 South should be assessed for
the total frontage.
We have endeavored to have the Finance Department change this,
as it is simply a case of relieving Lot G and adding to Lot 5, the ori-
ginal assessment having read as follows:
Lot 5 Block 92 South, 121.55' 7, 4:>1.14:317 _ :,rl %c:. ` 5
Lot 6 Block 92 South, 29.7' i 41.14:317 - :3%95 ;;:172„9O
Should read:
Lot 5, Block 92-South, 1g1.25" :1.14317 - •:'L72.90
whioh cancels the assessment against Lot G.
1Ytero i 1st, 1926.
The rinanoe Department ask for a Resolution vuthorising
this oorredtion.
