Gentlemen:
Mr. 0. B. Short, who was the owner of Lot D, in Block 2,
and Lot E in Block 3 of Superior Park Subdivision, agreed in 1924 to
deed these two lots to the City for street widening purposes (N.w.
21st Avenue), in order that he might be relieved of all 1924 and fu-
ture taxes and improvement liens against this property. O. B. Short
and Ruby A. Short gave a quitclaim deed to the City of Miami for the
above described properties under date of July llth, 1924. This was
previous to the payment of any 1924 taxes or improvement liens.
Later, apparently by mistake, general takes of yrG.00 were
paid on each lot, and the sewer improvement lien, 40-518, on Lot E
for °$72.66, and the same lien on Lot D for $110.51, were paid in full.
All of these payments were made November 18th, 1924.
Will you kindly therefore, instruct the Finance Depart-
ment to issue a check in the amount of $195.19, as a tax refund to Mr.
0.B. Short, for the total of the above described taxes and liens, paid
in 1924.
Yours respectfully,

RENEWAL OF FENDER PILING AT BRIDGES
The communication from the Director of Public: St,r.Yiee addressed to the C:lt:y :1ana er ,

May 10th,...1926....._._..
Mr. F. H. Wharton
City Manager
Miami, Florida
Dear Sir:
May 1, 1926
Our Engineer, Mr. R. H. Wilson and Superintendent of
Bridges, Mr. Tolson, have gone into the matter and advise that it is
necessary to renew the fender piling at both the Miwui Avenue and
Flegler Street Bridges.
The o&.y bid we have been able to seoure on this is one
from the Comer-Ebsary Foundation Company, whioh is attached hereto,
amounting to 11650.00 for the entire work. I believe their bid is
in line in view of the fact that the work will have to be done at a
time when the bridges are closed to vehicular traffic, between the
hours of 12 midnight and 5 o'clock A.M.
Owing to the feat that the Bridge Division has had to
take over the operation of additional bridges over than contemplated
In the original budget, bridge maintenance accounts have been depleted,
and it will be necessary to have a Resolution appropriating sufficient
funds to take care of the above work. Will you kindly have this Reso-
lution passed.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) ERNEST COTTON
Director of Public Service.

pany for the work, and a resolution authorizing the work and accepting the bid of

MOTORCYCLE OFFICER HURFORD KLINE
The City Manager submitted the following eommunioation addressed to him from the Chi.ei
of Polioe 3n reference to the injuries to Motorcycle Officer Kline in an accident on.
February 1st, 1926, which is as follows:
Mr. F. H. Wharton
City Manager
City of Miami
May 10, 1926
Dear Sir:
Attached herewith you will find a letter from Motor -Officer
Kline, in regard to his aooident whioh occurred February lst, 1926.
Dr. Turner is one of the physicians who attended Mr. Kline while he was
in the City Hospital. His hip was set in a oast, a picture taken of
same and he seemed to be all right at -the time. Later, Mr. Kline, was
transferred to his home and possibly after the swelling went down on
his leg, it caused a dislocation of his hip, and which he clad not dis-
cover until he was up and about to walk around, with the aid of a walk-
ing cane and crutches. He immediately had another picture of his leg
taken at the City Hospital, which shows his leg to be from one and a
half to two inches short, and unless this is corrected now, he will be
a cripple for the balanoe of his life.
Dr. Turner advised that he be taken to Mayo' s or John Hop-
kins Hospitals, preferably the latter, that his hip would then be cut
open, chisel the bone and reset again, and that would put Ur. Kline
baok in perfect shape again.
lIr. Kline is one of our best officers, and was hurt in the
line of duty, and was also on the right side of the road when the acci-
dent occurred, and I feel that we owe it to hirr, to put hire back in shape;
and therefore, I want to ask the City Commissioners to stand the expense
of sending this boy to the Hospital and having this operation performed.
I do not know exaotly what the cost will be, but it will probably be in
the neighborhood of 51500.00 to 52000.00; as it will require his staying
in the hospital about six weeks.
Have been trying to get in touch with !Jr. Turner and reouost
that he appear before the meeting of the City Commission in behalf of
this oase, but have been unable to make connections with the 'Doctor.
Trusting this natter may be presented to the City Commission
at their meeting this afternoon, I remain,
Very trul:; yours,
(:iigned) -i. LE3LIE r;?U:rsa
Chief of Police.

Lbey loth, 1926.
Dr. Turner, who attended Officer Kline while in the City Itospit!l,
was present and stated that while he thought he could perform the
operation necessary to correot Officer Kline's condition, he would
recommend that he be sent to John Hopkins Hospital. The City Manager
also reoommended that Officer Kline be sent to John Hopkins Hospital
for treatment.
Whereupon a resolution authorizing the City Manager to arrange for the treatment of
Offioer Kline at John Hopkins Hospital at the expense of the City was introduoed by
Mr. Leffler, who moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION NO. 2679.

City Commissioners
Miami, Florida
Dear Sirs: •
Sinoe my letter of March 26th the City representatives
have inspected the site at Opalocka and I have made a tentative lay-
out of the golf course, nine holes of whin}: provide a border for an
aviation field large enough for the air mail sorvioe. This is the
dairy farm on the west side of LeJoune Road in Section 20. The en-
tire area is covered with a good sod, making it ideal for en avia-
tion field.
The other nine holes surround Cooks Hannook and provide
public park aid locations for wells and a source for Miami's future
water requirements for the northern part of the City and its suburbs.
A location is provided for water treating plant with a switch from
the Seaboard railroad and access to drainage canal for refuse in the
treatinaz plant.
This Company is willing. to deed to the City for n.00,
t`-e lend required for the golf course and water works and to provide
tie money for the c•nstruction of the Golf course and club house un-
der• the City's direction and accept the City's notes or other form
of deferred payment for same.
The infield of the second nine holes may be leased by
the lity as an aviation field for 1.00 a year for a period of two
yeare, at which time the City will have the option to purchase the
field at a price of .!i2000.00 an acre. This area will contain at a
c,•uFss, 100acres. If it developes that less area is required for
eviction purposes, the City may purchase only as much as desired.
The attached sketch shows the general location of the
course. The golf architect will arrange the links.
If you can accept the plan in principle we would have
no trouble in working out the details.
Your prompt action would be greatly appreciated.
Yours truly, !
By: (Signed) q.i.CURTTSS,'
and
eREREAS, the Commission deems it advisable to accept the proposi-
tion,
