A request for information from the Yiami Laundry Co., regarding ` fee for operating their trucks out here, was presented, and it was decided'that inasmuch 8e no provision had been made for such an oc- cupational ,license, and the community needed such 'a service, that no license would be required. The matter of working out 'a trade for lots adjoining the present City Hall property was again brought up. In place of the lots im- mediately to the north of the property and separated from it by ,a 10 ft: alley, it was suggested that instead the City try tb obtain the 2 lots adjoin*ng the City Hall on the west side and a strip 50 ft. wide (the gquivalent, of 2 lots) immediately to the north of the present property, with the alley to be moved to the north line of this tracts thus giving the City an unbroken tract having 85 ft. frontage on Sunset Rd. and 1.50 ft. on Dorn St. The total amount of tax certificates still held by the City on property of the Dorn Brothers amounted to $912.71.at this time, including interest, and Councilman .Brown, seconded by Councilman Schmacker (who had arrived before the discussion waskrought up) moved that the Council approve the trade of lots 2 and 3, and 50 ft. immediately north of lots 1, 2 and 3 C0190MCIAL LA; ICINS$ the alley to be moved to the north line of said 50 ft. tract, for the back taxes amounting, to $912.71, provided H I.% Born accepts the offery the Pity to furnish the amended plat necessary, and the arrangement of any municipal buildings to be made with as little detriment to surrounding property as possible. la,tion. carried.

The p titidn was thereupon_ read as well as the names of the'31 signers. Ijhe course of the dis- cussion following Councilman Gladden, explained the location for the pro posed canning factory. Several questions were raised, including whether such a factory would be of value or a detriment to the community as a whole, and where the restricted areas were, if any. It was agreed that any building constructed on that site would have to be substantial, and could not be built of corrugated tin. L. Vl. Geip arose to point out the need for a .zoning ordinance, to which all aggeed. The Clerk reported that Mr. Cassel -had been in to request a building permit that morning and had been referred to the building inspector for approval of his plans. Inasmuch as it would be impossible to draw u and p pans an ordinance all in one evening, and in order that the matter might be looked into from all angles, including that of law, Councilman Bennett, seconded by Coun- cilman _Gladden, moved that issuance of all building permits be held u p until investigation could be made into matter and a depison reached. Motion carried. Need for a zoning ordinance was again stressed, as well as the fact that `trackage available for industries in South Miami was very limited and would have to be taken into consideration.

Third reading of the proposed electric ordinance was to be postponed. The question had been presented to the Clerk as to the City's action, if any, regarding the pending permanent injunction by the Felix family against all City certificates on that property., most of which are now held by private individuals. It was decided that the City has no responsibility regarding those certificates in such an action. Councilman Gladden reported that while there is still a balance of $46.25 in the Street Maintenance Fund, all bills for street repairs are being met out of the general fund, and he therefore made the motion, seconded by Councilman Vanderboegh, that the Street Maintenance fund be closed out into the general fund. Motion carried. Two schedules of payments on the motorcycle authorized purchased by the outgoing council were presented, with the request for approval of one.. This raised the question as to the need fox the new machine, which was satisfactorily answered.

The meeting vas called to,order by the President of thr; CoLncil VJ. W. Broom, Mayor Yarborough and all Councilmen Being present. This meeting was held in accordance with motion made at the regular meeting the preceding evening. The matter of collecting the trash and garbage from the South Miami school had been looked into by Councilman,Vanderboegh and Principal Sand- hammer was given an opportunity to ,express his views. He felt that it was a problem of the community inasmuch as most of the children attending the school live in South Miami: He also expressed his appreciation of the police service being rendered in directing traffic at Red Rd. during the opening and closing hours- of school, °thereby safeguarding_ the childrenL In a further discussion as to trash and garbage.collection it was finally decided that Mr. Sandhammer see whether 'Coral Gables could not arrange to take care of the school, as it would require only a trip across the street from their boundary, whereas the South Miami truck would have to go about a mile beyond the City's boundary, and should at least receiver.: expenses suggested at 50¢ per trip - out of the service. Mr,. Sandhammer agreed to do this but asked whether South Miami would take care of the schoo]Ats needs in the meantime. Canncilman Thompson, seconded by Council ma. chowalter, moved that the City collect the school's trash and garbage without cast, until lir. Sandhammer could take up the matter with Coral Gables. Motion carried: 4 r Municipal Judge Andrew Healy, who is also a practicing attorney, was presented at this time and asked to discuss the legal angles inr volved in the petition asking the council to pass an ordinance to pre - went the erection of a packing house- or canning factory `- at a definite location. He stated the case as he understood it, namely, that permit had been applied for, and that a petition had been filed by certain resi dents, asking that the erection of this plant be prevented. It seemed to him that the location"invmlved would be a location for industry of some sort and that an ordinance preventing„ its use for such a purpose would prove invalid . Restriction of property means interference of property rights, and is justifiable only if the general welfare requires such action, and loss to the grope rty owner thru such restriction has been thoroly considered. It was his opinion that proper procedure would be to regulate such an industry to safeguard the general welfare of the people - sanitpiry, conditions, etc. - but that the City could not - deprive the owner of this particular property along the railroad and on a spur from using it for industrial. purposes. His final statement was that "the facts alone would pretty nearly beat you in any court" and repeated his previous remakk that the best thing to do was to regulate the conduct of business instead of trying to prevent it It Was agreed that it was of th.: utmost importance to have a zoning ordinance but it was also pointed out that such an ordinance could not be r drawn up hastily but would require careful consideration. CoLnci lm-n Schow&lter pointed out that if South fliami I,, to go ahead, It must have industries and that theyshould be encouraged and not discouraged. eouncilman Gladden pointed out not only that the location of industries here would increase, property values but that revenue from them would help make up the loss now suffered thru homestead exemption. MxNxx%xxWxx2ai:kxx Discussion continued with L. V. Geib Mrs. L. W. Geib and Mrs. W. J. Shelley taking an active part, and Pres.'Brown finally asked that definite action be taken on the petition. Councilman Schowalter stated that inasmuch as the town needs industries and under the circumstances he did not see why we should hinder a man from coming in, he 'moved that the petition be ignored. Motion seconded, by Councilman Thompson and carried unanimously. Councilman Schowalter pointed out that no action had as `yet been taken by the new council on the building inspector. From all reports the pre- sent building inspector has proven very satisfactory, and Councilman Schowalter, seconded by Councilman Gladden, moved that W. 0. 'Canington be retained as building inspector. Motion carried' Councilman Thompson, seconded by Councilman Gladden, moved that the ban on building permits,be released. 'Motion carried. With two local men both in the ilectrical business, and one of them serving as inspector for his own and his competitorts work, it was decided to make a change in the post of electrical inspector. After a discussion - ' y and experience in electrical work, Councilman as to his qualifications y Councilman Vanderboegh, moved that George Wiegand Thompson seconded b Co be appointed electrical 'inspector. Motion carried. The p o plumbing p r still vacant, Councilman Core was appointed to interview Arthur Frost andoffer him the post, and to report back, at the next meeting., Councilman Gladden, seconded by Councilman Schowalter, moved that Mrs. Ethel Johnson be paid $20.00 on account of the prisoner's meals.

Cobncilman Thompson discussed the possibility of Osing; his recently built sausage factory for additional jail space - for white prisoners - for the time being, but no definite action was taken: Mayor Yarborough also suggested that a committee should be appointed to get up a rough draft of a zoning ordinance and then have the attorney draw it up The need of a sponsor for the B,,y 'Scott troop was presented, and the possibility of organizing a Lions' Club in South Miami was also discussed. There being no further businas.l, Councilman Core, seconded by Councilman _;,j Schowalter moved tfiat the meeting adjourn. Motion carried and meeting ad ourned.

At this point the regular rules; were suspended to;enable' the visitors present to t)resent their matters.. Mr. Chas. A. Mills was given the floor, who as the owner of considerable property in the colored section, stressed -the need for establishing the street lines. He pointed out that 3 dtrveys had been made at different times and that :a difference of opinion existed in one section as to the street dines, so that some buildings may possibly be partly in the street at the present time. For fire protection and from a, standpoint of sanitation it is important that these streets be kept open and he suggested that the city establish street lines with permanent `monu- ments. He stated that he was submitting this 'matter for the Council's j consideration,.and not asking for a quick- ttsnap- judgmenttt answer. He also raised the question as to the fee of $5.00 for a building permit for a small house costing not more than $300.00 but it was pointed out that a building of this price would require even more attention from the building inspector to insure safe construction than a larger one. Councilman Vanderboegh, as head of Sanitation, ;reported that several unsanitary toilets had'been re -built Councilman Thompson, of Fire, reported on his interview with County Commissioner Paxson with reference to the matter of coming to a working agreement with the County Commissioners where the City responds to fire calls beyond the limits._ The Board had decided to put in a unit at,Kendal but would consider any offer the City might make as to what it would do. After considerable discussion it was decided to let the decision of the County Commissioners stand, and to concentrate the Cityfs efforts to protecting the property within its limits; It was also suggested that a chart showing the location of the 11 wells now available be prepared and posted in the fire house. Councilman Thompson was asked to take up with Commissioner Paxson the possibility of having the County unit located at South Miami or close by Councilmam Bennetppof Police, reported that white prisoner were being kept at the Coral Gables jail but that no definite de- cision had been reached as to the cost of boarding them, inasmuch as South Mami is boarding some of their prisoners.

Councilman Gladden had interviewed the present mortgage - holders on the possibi - ( F' lity of financing the addition, but that Company is not putting out any more money as it is in process of liquidation. He also called on C. H. Reeder of Miami who spoke favorably of financing the jail addition, including the taking up of the balance on the existing mortgage with the Keswick Corp. It was estimated that the total amount necessary would be approximately $50000.00. There was also a possi- bility of discounting the present mortgage, according to Mr. Sanford of the Keswick Corp. Mr. Reeder stated that he would make no charge- for the loan other than lawyers fees for ;examining the abstract , Councilman Gladden stated that in the estimate for the contemplated addition, they had also included the cost of building a vault 8 x 10 .v ; feet, (inside mensur�,jh ts� at a.ppr. ;Ximatr7y $700.00, fear the Clerk's office.

Bldg. Inspector 14% 0. Canington was first asked for his report and stated that in his opinion the 4 x'4 sills on which the house rested were too weak, but that with a continuous concrete ;,all to support them, the foun- dation would be safe.: I3owever, in the rafters of the roof in the front gallery, or porch, old material was being used and spliced, a definite objection from the standpoint of safe construction. Pres. Brown then read to the Council the first notice sent Kv. Pendray en January 29, 1938 and it was agreed that of the points on which condemnation proceedings were based therein, #1 had been complied with in the removal of the ;front gallery or porch,, but Councilman Schowalter pointed out that the provision requiring that the work of repairing and making safe had not started within 24 hours after service of said first 'notice, nor had it been continuously keprat. Pres.

Adams that Mr. Pendray state his case to the Council, Iktty. C. L. Theed stepped forward, stating that he was glad to have heard the detailed reports on the condition of the structure involved. As he saw it, L�r. Wndray had failed to do three things$ namelyf (1) to commence work within Q4 hours, (2) to proceed with the -work - con- tinuously, and (3) allowing splicing of raftersl and that in his opinion the latter point was the only real complaint and could still be remedied to meet with the building code requirements, by augmenting the spliced rafters with solid, whole. rafters. He asked that the condemnation pro- ceedings be held up to give A1r. Pendray a chance to comply unless he- violated further, Pres. Brown questioned Mr. Pendray's remarks that he• already had $500.00 invested in the project, to which r;r.Pendray replied, that it was close to this amount and that at the time the work was halted by the condemnation proceedings he had been about to finish the foundation and ready to close in the sides and paint the 2 rooms added at the side and the porch across the fvcnt. ratty.

Proun asked x- Cahington regarding the approximate valuation of the house after it is completed according to the proposed plan, to which he replied that as it now stands it would be hard to gauge, but when completed he believe would have cost 1Lr. s� Pendray between $19000. and $11200. Pres. Brown contended that even on a basis of 25¢ per cu. ft. .. which would. be plenty high *. , in its present condition - the building did not have anywhere near the valuation I claimed for it by Mr.Pendray. Councilman Schowalter stated insofar as cubic foot requirements were concerned, the building would comply with the code., Mayor Yarborough suggested that decision be deferred for - the _time being, until the matter could be gone into a little more and thoroly talked over. Councilman Schowalter was of the opinion that Iir. Iendray should be per- mitted to .go ahead :with the work, stating that mo.stfcf the trouble and complaint had come about on accc:unt of the delay in going ahead with the work when the building was first moved in and allowed to remain untouched for weeks. Witty. Adams called attention tL. the fact that this matter had been going along since early January and asked what might be considered a reasonable estimate of the length of time required to complete the work on the house. Pres. Brown stated that this building had been under sonstruction for about 60 days, in a neighborhood where there are some nice homes, and that there would not have been any feeling about it if it had been completed by now or nearly so9 that in his opinion a good carpenter should have been able to do the work necessary, in a week. Mayor Yarborough called atten- tion to the fact that I"r.pendray had been up before the Council once be- fore for stopping work and had promised at that time to proceed with the work continuously.
