Uity Commission
Miami, Florida
Gentlemen:
Miami, Florida
May 17, 1926
Under date of Maroh 16, 1925, I dedicated to the City
of Miami, fpr the widening of S.W. 12th Avenue, the East 10* feet
of Lot 1, Block 81, Lawrence Estates, end on the same date Ida B.
Metoalf, my wife, and myself, dedioated to the City of Miami for
the widening of S.W. 12 th Avenue, the East 10i feet of Lots 1, 2
and 3, Block 80, Lawrence Estates.
In these deeds of dedication no reservation whatsoever
were made. However, I am now planning the conatruotion of a build-
ing on the adjoining property and desire arcade privileges over the
portion dedicated to the City, and would therefore request that the
City give me the necessary legal right to do this a reading.
I have also dedicated 7t foot of Lot 1, Block 61, Law-
renoe Estates, facing on Second Street, and have paid the cost of
widening at this location, which work has been completed. I also
desire the Commission to give me the legal right to arcade over this
portion of Lot 1, Block 81, and would request that the City Engineer
be instructed to give me the oorreot amount of setback from curb line
on eaoh side of this lot for this arceding.
The two dedications given on l2th Avenue have been re-
oorded, and deeds are in the possession of the City. The deed cover-
ing the dedication on the Seoond Street side of Lot 1, Block 61, how-
ever, has never been reoorded, and seems to have bean misplaced. How-
ever, should the City be willing to aooept another deed of dedication
oovering this portion of Lot 1, Block 81, on which work has already
been completed and paid for, I shall gladly execute same at onoe.
Your early decision in this matter is respectfully re-
quested.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) JOHN J. METCALF.

Hon. Frank Wharton
City Manager
Miami, Florida
Dear LIr. Wharton:
I have submitted to my clients, Celestia Collins and
E. E. Collins, the offer of Thirty-five Thousand Dollars ($35,000.00),
whioh was made yesterday by the Commissioners for the purchase of that
portion of Lot 27 of Biscayne Park Addition, which is required for the
opening of Northeast 3rd Avenue, same being that portion of the lot
which lies East of a line which interseots the North line of the lot et
a point 30.55 feet West of the Northeast corner of the lot and continues
Southerly to an intersection with the South line of the lot at a point
36.23 feet West of the Southeast corner of the lot, it being understood
that if they find a location to which the house can be moved, they are
to have the privilege of moving the house off the lot. They have author-
ized me to notify you that they are willing to accept the offer and will
execute a deed within the next day or two, so as to have it ready for
delivery.
Mr. Curry who thought the 3rd Avenue people might have
a lot available which could be exchanged with my clients was up to see
me this morning and after canvassing the situation we concluded that the
lots which he had available for that purpose were all so situated that
it would be practically impossible to move the house to any of them.
