To the Honorable Mayor and Commissioners
of the City of Miami, Florida
The undersigned were appointed at a meeting of a large
number of citizens and tax -payers of the subdivision known as "Bayshore",
held on Friday, May 21st, 1926, to present for your consideration the
following oiroumetanoee: -
The area embraoed by Bayshore inoludee all that territory
within the city limits of Miami, lying between Northeast 54th street, on
the South,; Northeast 60th Street, on the North; the right-of-way of the
Florida East Coast Railway, on the West, and Bay of Biscayne on the East.
Within this territory there are at present more than sixty residenoes
which have been ereoted at an average oost of more than Ten thousand
($10,000.00) Dollars eaoh, and other residences are now under construction.
The Bayshore Investment company were the owners and devel-
opera of this subdivision, and have improved the same by putting down im-
provements of very high oharaoter, such as oiled streets, sidewalks, curbs,
sewerage, street park ways, shrubbery, a white light system of street
lighting and a complete water system.
The Development Company have maintained these improvements
in an effioient manner for some years, and have continued to maintain the
same, although the Development Company has sold practically all of its
property nearly a year prior to this time. The said Comps ny, however,
has now advised the owners of property in this subdivision that it desires
to withdraw from the operation of the water system, and from the mainte-
nanoe of the street lights and of the park ways in the said subdivision.
The property in the area described above was assessed for
taxation as of January 1, 1925, for State and County taxation, on the
basis of approximately a million and a half dollars, which said assessed
value will probably be raised a considerable amount as of January 1, 1926.
The Committee is advised that the erection of a large number of new
houses in this aeotion is now in contemplation.
Upon such showing, this committee respectfully petitions
your Honorable Body to make suoh provision for the maintenance of the
street lighting, park ways and water system in the territory described
herein as it may have the authority to do, and as may seem just and equit-
able as herein set out. Said territory now being embraced in the City
limits of Miami, Florida.

Dear sir:
Miami, Florida
May 20, 1926
In a000rdanoe with your suggestion i have estimated the
oost of cutting off the fronts of the buildings, restoring them, and
adding 10 feet to the rear, looated on N.W. 7th Avenue at and near the
oorner of 10th Street. Four of these stores are located on the west
side of the street and one on the southeast oorner.
My cost of demolishing these stores and adding to the rear
the same amount, namely 10 feet, will be as follows:
Grooery Store on S.W. Corner, $2250.00
Furniture Store next to oorner v 2250.00
Drug Store adjoining furniture store 2150.00
Pressing Club adjoining Furniture store 2150.00
5400.00
$14200.60
The small store building located on the N.W. corner of 7th
Avenue and 28th Street if out off in front to meet the City require-
ments of widening the street and not replaced at the rear will be as
stated below together with prioe if the same amount in replaced at the
rear es follows:
Out off et front, restored but not replaced in rear. 4550.00
Cut off at front, restored and replaced in rear. . . . 900.00
It is understood, however, that this estimate of the cost
is based upon the belief that the City Building department will permit
the same type and class of construction to be replaced in the restora-
tion and additions as the building is now constructed.
This estimate of oost is also based upon replacement in
equally good shape as found, before tearing down, if not better as the
conditions now appear. Further that no fee for permits are to be re-
quired.

WAVING S.V. 6TH AVENUE FROM 5TH TO 6TH STREETS
The City manager submitted the following reoommendation from the Director of Public
Servioe in reference to the paving of S.W. 6th Avenue from 5th to 6th Streets:
Mr. F. x. Wharton
City manager
Miami, Florida
Miami, Florida
May 5, 1926
Dear Sir:
District H-213 in Contract Pv-50, oontemplated the paving.
of S.W. 6th Avenue from S.W. 5th to s.w. 6th Street. At the time the
Contractor was at work under this contract, it was contemplated that
a street oar line would be installed on S.W. 6th Avenue between S.W.
6th Street and West Flagler Street, and we held the Contractor upon
the work oontemplated in District H-213, with the exception of the ourb
and gutter, which was installed.
During this time we were preparing assessment rolls prior
to the oompletion of contracts, and a roll was made to cover this dis-
triot, although the pavement has not been constructed. We have taken
up with the Contractor the subject of completing this work under his
oontraot, but he states that he does not cure to finish it at the prices
bid under the original contract. We think he is justified in this.
You probably will reoall that this oontraot was sub -let to the ledlund
Construction Company, which has since gone out of business.
It is felt that our Street Repair forces can go in on this
and oomplete the work, the oost of which would be charged against the
oontraot and credited to the Street Division.
In this way, the assessment roll can stand. However, we have had objec-
tion from oertain owners to the payment of interest on deferred payments
on work that has never bean done, and I believe a Resolution should be
passed authorizing the cancellation of all interest that has aocrued on
this work, and that no interest is to accrue until the Street Division
has finally finished work.
Will you please advise.
whereupon the following resolution authorizing
without contract and that the interest accrued
this portion of the avenue should be oanoelled
its adoption:
Yours very truly,
(Sighed) ERNEST COTTON,
Direotor of Public Service.
the work to be completed by City forces
on all liens against property abutting
was introduced by Mr. Lummus, who moved
RESOLUTION NO. 2726.
