There are at leapt fifteen houses occupied here that have no light end power. Having no power we can have no running water so that comes under the sanitation board as there are no inside toilets, etc. We understand that the developers have had a deposit with the. Aitinli Electric Light S: eower Company since October 8th, paying for poles . to houses that are now completed, but they promise one month after an-' nther to have them out but to date nothing has been done.

'=rAIldr'.l'r Agent o`ihe City Manager submitted the fallowing recommendation from the Fire Chief:. Irterah 15, 1926 Mr. F. H. Wharton City Manager Miami, Florida Dear Sir: Regarding the attached eommunioation from the Standard 0i1 Company, addressed to the Liayor and City Commission, which has been referred to me, I beg to report the following conditions: The section where this tank is located wars outside of the City limits until September second, end I am unable to stet° whether or not construction wasntar.ted before that date. There was no per- mit requested. nor had we any knowledge of the erection of this tank until the first of the ourrent month. '7e have consistently refused to callow any a lclitional whole- sale storage tanks to be installer) within the City limits. However, I, after careful investigation, can see no way to refuse the �:tandard 0i1 Company this permit. If the Commission decide to allow the storerre of e eoli.ne in quantities exceeding ten thousand gallons (which ie our present regulation) I would recommend that they be confined to the .;free bound- ed on the north by 73rd Street and south by 72nd Street, and e-etend- ing west from the main line of the F. E. C. Railroad to the City limits. This is a large territory, but is very ni ieht1y improved and leaves room for all companies who wish to handle get~oline or oil by rail. I would also recommend that a certain section of the proposed island to be built for dockage purposes be set aside for the whole- sale storage of inflammable oils. Naturally all these inttallations must conform to the regulations prescribed by ordinances and orders of the Fire Department. I still maintain my former attitude in regard to the etorage of large quantities of gasoline or other inflammable oils within the City limits. It is always a dangerous fire hazard, end T, believe they can be placed in locations where they will not endanger surrounding property. Very truly yours, (Signed) "i. R. COL I,I.AN Chief of Fire Department. After discussing the matter, it was the opinion of the Conmie ion that application9' for permits to construct gasoline storage tanks of a capacity of more than ten thou-. sand gallons should be made to the Commission and each permit considered separately..
