Dear Mayor Ferre:
At a meeting of the Naturalization Committee of this
Court it was agreed that I would request of the City
of Miami permission for the Court to use its auditorium for
naturalization proceedings. Our need arises from the fact
that we have no courtroom large enough to handle the
hundreds of petitioners who are nacuralized at each
ceremony and we have been granted permission to use the
Auditorium by the City for the past six years.
I have been advised by the Immigration and Naturalization
Services that they have cleared the following dates with
the Auditorium Office and I should appreciate your
presenting to the City Commission at its next meeting our
request for use of Bayfront Park Auditorium on the following
dates:
April 2, 1975
June 4, 1975
August 6, 1975
I hope that the City will again waive its usual rental
fee, with the Court being responsible for the cost of
personnel and the liability insurance premium.
In the event the City should find a paying customer
desiring to rent the auditorium on any of the dates granted
to us. we think we would be able to find some other
location if twenty days' cancellation notice is given
to me. The petitioners are given approximately two weeks'
notice of a scheduled naturalization ceremony.
Honorable Maurice Pete
