STREET WIDENING - LITTLE RIVER
The following offer of Mrs. Bessie Multaob, owner of lot on the EW corner of West
Dixie Highway and Everglades Avenue, Little River, to sell a certain part of her
property was submitted by Chas. M. Moon, Attorney;
Mr. F. H. Wharton
Miami, Florida
Dear Sir: In re: Sale by Mrs. Bess

MMB
it
600
March .29 th - 1926.
In furtherance of our oonvet ation of recent date, my olient,
Mrs. Bessie Multaob, is willing to sell to the City of Miami 16 feet
off the front of her lot oorner Dixie Highway and Everglades Avenues,
at Little River, and 15 feet off the Everglades side of the sans lot,
which le neoessary for the widening of these two streets eeeording to
the program ea laid out by the City Engineers.
Mrs. Mul.toob is having to demolish and re -build her building
owing to the foot that the Dixie Highway has already been widened and
the building shade unfit for its use by the foot that the Country Engi-
neers went in and took 10 feet of her land without any proceedings and
built the roadway right up to bar door. The City Engineers agree that
15 feet off the front and 15 feet off the side will take Dare of the
proposed widening of these streets and leave a six-foot sidewalk, and
Ilse. Mttltsoh will m:.te a deed to the City of Miami for this strip, re-
serving the easement right for the building of en arcade over the six-
foot sidewalk. She has invested in this property approximately $90,000,
end the feat that the above stripe take one-third of her lot, reducing
it to a lot 35 by approximately 85, reduoee the value for building to
suoh an extent that she is damaged greatly in excess of the aotual value
of the land, $30,000.00, and the foot that she is forced at this time
to re -build owing to the way the road is now oonatructed makes it neoes-
sary for her to raise some money, end she has agreed to deed the above
mentioned strips of property to the Oity for the sum of $13,000.00, pro-
vided it may be closed in the near future, so that she oan use the money
reoeived in the re-oonstruotion of her building. You have blueprints
of this intersection in your office and we believe the above proposal
is fully understood by you.
I would appreoiate as early an answer on this proposal as pos-
sible,
Yours very truly,
(Signed) CHAS. M. MOON.

OPENING N.W. 13TH STREET CROSSING

an agreement for opening the Bros sing. The City Manager was also instruoted to negoti-
ate with the owner of Lot 1, Block 13, Baldwin & Oxars Addition, the S.W. corner of
N.E. Miami Court and 13th Street, for part of the lot to ease the jog in 13th Street
at this interseotion.
WIDENING N.W. 7TH AVENUE
The N.W. 7th Avenue Assooiation also objeoted to the width of paving to be laid on N.W.
7th Avenue, from 5th Street to llth Street, stating that the property owners were under
the impression that the street was to be paved to a greater width than now contemplated.
The City Manager stated that any greater width of paving would necessitate the aroad-
ing of some buildings on the Avenue and if this was attempted the improvement would be:
delayed. The members of the Association present were of the opinion that the aroading.,
oould be done without considerable delay or oost. The Association was asked to seoure
data relative to aroading the buildings and submit it at a later meeting for oonsiderae
tion of the Commission.

Dear Sir:
I have purchased for this Department, :'or its in nettin;7
up the Tax 'Rolls and mailing Tex Notices, an Addressofi-raph Machine
and necessary equipment at a cost of ,261.25. This-maohino was
purchased on terms of $2,261.25 cash and ,4,000.00 ,o;yeble july 15th,
1926, in order that a portion of the cost ploy be inc.:iv:60d in next
year's budget. In addition to the cost of fte mnoblno tT,on must be
provided $488.75 to cover freight and cr,:ponso of ist1:7!ltIon, and we
estimate ,$2,250.00 for extra help neoessary to proparn t:!o stencils
incident to placing the rolls on the books and notioe. After
these stencils are prepared it will be necessary to ,!',V() en Orator,
assistant to the Assessor, to prepare stencils for such chones as
take .pleoe throughout the yeer, which operator, however, doe's not add
expense as clerks are required to reoord these changes where the ma-
chine is not in use. After the stencils are prepared over 75 of the
roll is placed on the books by mechanical operation in a eery short
time, more accurately than possible by former methods and at a consi-
derable saving in clerk hire.
We shall require a resolution epproprietIne the following
amounts, which T sugest be charged to the "pontingent Fund":
First payment on Addressograph '
Freight e installation $2,251.25

ORDTICE REG:LATEIG GARBAGE HLIDLII:G
The ity Manager submitted proposed ordinande regulating the handling:Of garli* iu
the City, together with the following communioation:
City Commission
City of Miami
Gentlemen:
March 29,.1926
I am presenting to you an Ordinance -entitled:
"An ordinance regulating the handling of garbage in the City of Miami,
fixing the rote for such service and providing penalties for its vio-
lation".
Under the present ordinance, a charge of .;2.00 is made for
every gurbeee can, which entitles the householder weekly service for
garbuge and free service for one barrel of trash each week, sand 10/
for each bi,rrel of trash in excess of the free barrel. When this Ordi-
nance was passed, we were paying anywhere from ;1.25 to 11.40 for eerb-
ege cans. Today the gurbage cans are costing anywhere from !!2.50 to
S2.65. The City, therefore, at the present time is not mhioic- sufficient
charge to actually pay for the °WIS.
Under this new Ordinance, we have provided u eh- ae-e of
for each garbage cun, and are elminating tbe little five ten cent
oherges for extre service. These little extra charTeT ':uve bl-:!uye been
a souroe of annoyance in compluint, and have been [1.J_
factory ell the way around. The ::;4.00 Charge, as provided ;11 this new
ordinance, will yield perhaps o little sore money thbh tho (11,1 sz•stemand 1 believe will be much more satisfactory to the eebi.im,
Another ohange provided in thi^ r'i'%1i;}':nor' In to ,pro idr:;

CORRECTION OF SIDEWALK ASSESSMENT
The City Manager submitted a communication addressed to him from the Director of Pub-
lic Service in reference to a reduction in sidewalk usseasment. The communication is
as follows:
March 25, 1926
Mr. F. Wharton
City .tanager
Miami, Florida
Dear Sir:
Will you please have Resolution passed authorizing cor-
rection in .,idewe1k Assessment against the North 50-feet of Lots
23 and ' 4, Block 139-North, reducing the Assessment from` ;129.19 to
$45.99.
This is necessary on a000unt of the fact that the proper-
ty was usse sed for the full width of the Sidewalk., 6.5 feet, where,-
as only 3 feet of width was actually constructed. .
It appears that the original owner of this, Lot dedicated.
5 feet to the City in ?::n:uf i'y, 1923, br?t the deed was. not filed for -
record until May, 1924. In the meantime, however, the property was
sold and the purchaser recorded his deed in elune, 1923, claiming the
property wus purchased uninourbered of any dedications for street
widening. He now is asking, In return for a Deed of Dedioation, that
the City -
(1 ) Cancel all Improvement Liens now on the property;
(2) Rebuild Steps from Sidewalk to Porch;
(3) Relay dr.+.inage Line from house to eurb;
(4) Regrude Driveway;
(5) Rebuild Rock Eeta!r.ning „'all.
"'e estimate that this would cost the City approximately
$1,000.00, and we do not believe we should agree to any such ,a proposi-
tion.
However, it will'be necessary to reduce the dssessmen,t as,.
stated above, i. e., from $129.19 to $45.99.
Yours very truly,

CONSULTING ENGINEERS FOR 2BOPOSI) BRIDGES
The City Manager submitted the following communication addressed to him frornthe Di-
rector of Pubile Service, to which wee, attached prppo0a10 for covering the design of
the proposed bridges across the Miami ,River:
Mr. F. H. Wharton
City Manager
Miami, Florida
Dear Sir:
!derail 15, 1926
I am submitting, herewith, proposals oovering the design of .
the proposed bridges across the Miami River, from the Strauss Bascule
Bridge Co., Mess. Harrington, Howard Fa Ash, and the Soherzer R61ling
Lift Bridge Company, from which, you will note that the Soherzer Company
have quoted the lowest price.
I believe that any of the firms quoting would give us a satis-
factory deei-sn, and the cost of the bridges would run very nearly the
same, as would the upkeep and operation. I believe, however, that in-
asmuch as we now have the trunnion type of bridges installed, that it
might be to our advantage to adhere to this type for the balance of our
bridges. This is the only reason, however, for the reeommendetion, and
I am a little doubtful as to whether this would outweigh the saving we
would have in accepting the Soherzor Company's proposition for the de-
signing of the bridges.

Dear Sir:
Yours very truly,
(Signed) 1 RN ST COTTON •

1. "le will make such preliminary drewinss and estimates of quan-
tities as may be necessary to determine the most praotioable layout
for each orossirix. Thee studies shall also be made with the view of
determining the desirability of using the same plane and specifications
for two or more of the bascule span;?.
2. After the Plan has been determined upon we will prepare cotn-
elete detailed Flans, ;ipecific;ations and Estimates for each basoul.e
span Uni ra»pr'oachos thereto, including lighting, roeadwas gates and o-
pera tort' hou ^.;as .
3. "Se will cheek all shop drawings or other working drawings sub-
mitted by the contractor, and will supervise the work of the Inspection

4. Duri:a:r the construction of the 3rid!res we shall answer such
questions as ray be submitted to our Kansas City office, and which may
be answered by correspondence, tend one of the firm will visit the work
durin' coristruutien, when so requested by the City, provided travelling
expenses are pa id by the City.
5. Por the services enumerated in paragraphs 1 to 4, inclusive,
we shall be paid :four percent (4) of the contract cost of the work in-.
eluded in the Plans and Specifications, or, in lieu of the percentage
fee, we ,shall be ee id a lump sum of Eight Thousand 08,000.00) Dollars
for each of the Bridges at N,W. 12th Avenue, N.E. 17th Avenue and S.W.
First :street, and a lump sum of Ten Thousand 010,000.00) Dollars for
the B. id ge a t 2nd ,.venue, provided, however, that for such Plans
us may ee used in more then one Bridge our fee shall be as stated above
for the on ,inol Plaice end Specifications, and one-half of such fee for
each additional structure in which the original Plans are used.
In case the Plans of one structure are made to serve f'or an-
other by rekine modifications in pertain minor parts, the Plans so modi-
fied shall be considered us a duplicate set, except that we shall receive,
in eddi.tinn to the fees above mentioned, our actual cost as shown by our
books, in r.e,:ins the necess,:ry mod ifieaations.
>. :'_1 hty percent (80%) of the above fees shall be due and payable
upon acceptance be the City of approved Plans and Spool ficntiols, and
the remainr.er hall be passable monthly as prorated with construction Esti-
