race in Block 1.
Police - No report, owing to absence of chairman.
Streets & Parks: The matter of having Burteshaw Rd.
cleared of shrubbery along the Riviera Landscape Co. in return fibr the
revocation of Pinelan Drive between the Clakk and Wittkow tracts was
again brought up when Councilman Metger reported that Mr. Wittkow had
agreed to take the shrubbery off as he sells it. It was agreed, how
? ever by most of those present that Burteshaw Rd. should be cleared up
back to the property :line of the Riviera Landscape Co. in the mme
diate future.
Building - O.K.
Councilman Collar reported 'that he had not been able to see Kr
Angerman, Sr. about taking over the Plumbing Inspector's job, and in
asmuch as Mr. Angerman was working again, he was really ineligible for
the post. As there was doubt expressed whether or not this post must
be filled by a retired plumber, Councilman Gladden suggested that Coun-
cilman Collar write the State Board of Health for a. definite opinion
on the matter. This was agreed to.
Councilman Cordell reported that the septic tank behind the Post
Office had an opening of about 12 inches wide leading directly down
into the tank, which should be covered.
As Chairman of the special building committee, Councilman Cordell
reported the following estimates for anew jail or addition to the old
.jails Regular
He suggest style
ed that l
it woud$bed � A

ion onatthebafkOof
the jail as the inner wall of the present jail would scarcely support
another story until there is more foundation to support the top. How-
ever, ,such an addition would require another window op4ng in the lava-
tory and anothor septic tank as the old one would be covered by the
floor. Pipes and drains would have to be 'laid d6wn the alley formed
by making the new addition and Councilman- Gladden celled attention
to the fact that provision would have to be made for 1S5 feet of
drainage in that alley. Councilman Cordellts figures were for materials
only, as he figured that prison labor could constitute at least 50% of
of the job. The council approved the fact that the ground'floor addi-
tion r with a regular 10 -ft. ceiling would be the thing to build first.

of the minutes of the
At this point, the regular order of business was sus:oended in order
to enable the visitors present to present their requests. Mrs, Jesse
Red arose to present a petition requesting the Council to pass an ordi-
nance to prevent the erection of a packing house (in reality a canning
factory) on the site of the old 'Dixie Insecticide Bldg., and requested
that said petition be read by the Clerk. 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. Councilman
Thompson moved that the Council hold a special meeting to- morrow evening,
March 3, at 3:30 to go further into this matter. Motion seconded by
Councilman Bennett and carried.
Regular odder of business was then resumed. Two apolications for the
position of police officer were read and ordered filed for consideration
at such time as a vacancy might occur. A`letter from 'Washington, advising-
that the Cityfs application for a loan and grant for a water plant had
been denied, was also read,
Councilman Gladden, seconded by Councilman Bennett, moved that Resolution
,-1#128 be read. Motion carried and resolution read, as follows:

Councilman Gladden, seconded by ;Councilman Schowalter, then moved

Building Inspector W. 0. Canington brought up again the matter of con-
demnation of unsafe buildings. Material obtained from the Coral Gables
;4! building inspector on the proper procedure was read by the Clerk, and it
was decided that an ordinance along similar lines should be drawn up and
passed before taking any action, in condemning buildings.;
The question of trash collection from the South Miami School (be-
ing located beyond-the City's limits) was to be investigated by Sanitary
Commissioner Vanderboegh and reported back to the special meeting called'
for to- morrow evening.

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. Need for additional jail facilities

be placed with colored prisoners, but should be taken to Coral Gables
or Miami, if necessary. After a thoro discussion of building an addition
to the present jail president Brawn ap ointed Councilman Gladden, Bennett
i,
and Schowalter as a committee to arrange for finances and construction

MINUTES OF THE SPECIAL MEETINCT
OF THE CITY COUNCIL) HELD WEDNESDAY LV811ING, MARCH 3,
.r A. D. 1937 AT 8:30 P.M. AT TH& CITY ?TALL..
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<er 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. Motion
carried by poll, ass follows:
- Gladden yes Schowalter yes Bennett yes Brown ye
Thompson yes Vanderboegh yes Core yes
fhyor Yarborough urged that ^addition to the jail be taken care of as soon
as possible, and the committee previously appointed was asked to have a
a survey and estimate ready for the next meeting. 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

regular meeting, following it, on March 2 were re-,ad and approved,
there being no corrections. This was followed by the reading of
the minutes of the special meeting of March 3, which were also ap-
proved as read.
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.

The appointment of a'Municipal Judge 'still pending, President
Broom suggested that it is better to have someone not living in the
City , and stated that the present Judge, A. T. Healy, had proven
very satisfactory. Councilman Bennett, seconded by Councilman Thomp-
son, moved that Judge Healy be retained until the end of the present
fiscal year on the present schedule of $3.00 per case. Motion carried
The Clerk was instructed to advise Mr. John C. Sullivan of the
appointment of Mr. Adams and ask that he turn over to the latter
the Cityts files.
Members of the special committee appointed to arrange for the
building of the addition to the jail, reported as follows:`
Councilman Schowalter stated that it would be cheaper to build'out
the lower story at the corner than to add a 2nd story. 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 ;

mitted to the Dade County Planning Board, Councilman Gladden agreed
to get a copy from City Engineer Bliss, who had assisted in preparing
it.
Councilmanfichowalter brought up.tha naed for the ordinance
providing for the condemning of unsafe property, and attorney Adams
was instructed to,' draw °said ordinance up, as an amendment to the pre-
sent Building Code, along tha lines of the one in use in Coral Gables.
The need for a zoning ordinance was again stressed and it was
suggested that the Council as a whole work on this and that the Clerk
furnish each member with a rough draft of the City map as a help in
working out a zoning mrd#muxxx schedule for the proposed ordinance.
In the absence of the 'Dorn Brothers, the Clerk reported on her
interview wi "th.Robert Dorn that afternoon,, In which he stated that
M W. Dorn felt that not more than three lots should be considered

worth of tax certificates on their oth::r property. The matter of
the expired ball park lease was also discussed and general opinion
was that it should not be renewed but no definite action was taken.
A discussion regarding the use of the community building by
various organizations brought forth varied opinions. It was the
belief.` of Mayor Yarborough that the building shoulA be free to anything
that is A community affair, A. charge to be made only for private
affairs. President Brown agr+eed.to that view as the ultimate out-
come but pointed out that no aperopriation is available for the
balance Offtis fiscal year. It Was decided to tare no action until
the next meeting, and that the present schedule of fees is to be
maintained until other action is taken.
� U
Building Inspector Can'ington presented the proposition of
John Bostwick: who wants to build 8 small houses on the back street
of his property,a block west of Red. Rd. and south of Sunset.
Each house is to be 16 x 22, to be'finished along the same plan
as those Started in Coco
plum Terrace . Inasmuch as this property
is in a ?',2,000, restricted area, Councilman Schowalter suggested
that it would be better to builder duplexes, making them ;,2,000.
buildings, and thereby abide by the rules.
Councilman Gladden, seconded by Councilman Schowalter, moved
that in future all requisitions fffiaxmzxaxkkxmx$iQAQ under $10.00

requisition and must bear the requisition - number. Motion carried.

boegh, moved that the City Council sponsor the 'locat.Boy 'Scout
troop. Motion carried.

RESOLUTION NO'. 139
WHEREAS, it has come to our attention that the School Board 6f
Dade County, Florida, has refused to transport any children to, and
f from school who reside within two '(2) miles of the school they at
tend, and
WHEREAS, unusual conditions exist` in a- number of sections of
our county, which necessitate transportation of school children, such
unusual conditions being as follows, to -wit;
1. Traffic hazards where children 'are required to
walk onhighway in the absence of sidewalks or other
walkways along the`highwy or roadway - said highways
being frequently traversed by trucks and other motor
vehicles travelling at a high rate of speed.
2.. Increased hazard of attack by degenerates where
the way to and from school is sparsely settled, and
5 _ where the childred do not have the protection of ob-
servation by people residing along the way traversed
by the children in going to and from school.
Z. Sections which are inhabited by people of very
moderate means and who have no way of personally trans --
- porting their children to and from school.
WHEREAS, we understand the present policy of the School Board
is allegedly based upon a rule prohibiting the transportation of
children. within a two mile zone, but an examination of said rule
shows the same to contain therein the following modifying provision,
to -wit:
n - unless by special permission by the State
Board of Education, granted on account of unusual
conditions."
and,
WHEREAS, during pr Maus years and up until, the present school
term, the school authorities have in their wisdom seen fit to recog-
nize said modifying provision by transporting children to and from
school, where unusual conditions existed, and
WHEREAS, we are very much concerned with the preservation of the
safety and lives of our school children and impressed with the neces-
sity for recognition of said modifying :provision, where unusual con-
ditions do exist, and
WHEREAS, we understand it to be the announced policy of the Dads'
County School Board to disregard said modifying provision in all in-- t
stances, whereby the safety and lives of our school children are
placed in jeopardy, and
WHEREAS we feel that said modifying provision was placed in
said rule for a definite purpose, to be observed where unusual con
ditions'" justified the same;,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Mayor and the City Council of
the City of South Miami, Florida, duly assembled in regular meeting
that we urgently request the school authorities to observe said modi-
fying provision, thereby decreasing the grave and imminent danger of
loss of life or serious injury to our school children.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that we request the School Board of Dade
County, Florida to at least pass a resolution favoring the recogni-
tion of said modifying provision and to transmit said resolution to
our State Board of Public Instruct.ion,, thus proving to the people of
Dade County, Florida that they are in sympathy with our effort to de
crease danger to our school children, occasioned by hazards as here-
inabove outlined.
BE ;IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be sent to
the Dade County Superintendent of Education;, the School Board of 'Dade
County, Florida, and to Honorable Colin English, State Superintendent
of Public Instruction,as being indicative of our attitude in this
matter.

The balance of the evening's meeting was devoted to a discussion
of zoning requirements best adapted to the City's needs. The 4 classi-
fications set forth,in the ordinance drawn up:by Atty. Adams and their
definitions were again read.It was generally conceded that the County's'
proposed zoning for estates in some, portions adjoining the City limits
could not be met with similar limitAtions on the City's,side It was
tentatively decided that Red Road from Bird Rd. thru University .'Park'
be residential, from the south end of University Park to one block south
of Sunset, business, and below that again residential.. Bird Road was to
be. residentialexcept for one block at Bird and Ludlum. At this point
r
the question was raised as to agricultural use of land . and whether
the residential classification would prevent such use. It was decided
to find out what Miami and Hialeah had worked out in this regard and
definitely decided that some provision would have to be. made for agri
cultural,pursuits.
It was also agreed that after a tentative zoning schedule had been
completed that it be referred to owners of property affected for approval
or revision, before taking final action.
Pending the obtaining of further information on the handling of the
agricultural classification, the meeting adjourned in regular order at
approximately 10:15.

MINUTES OF:TH.� SPECIAL MEETING OF
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI, `FLORIDA,
HELD FRIDAY EVENING JANURY 27,,A. D. 1938 AT THE CITY
HALL AT 8:00 O f CLOCK;.
The meeting was called to order by the President of the Council,
Winford W. Brown, with Mayor Yarborough and all Councilmen present.
President Brotnn read the notice for the meeting, which 'had been called
for the purpose of discussing condemnation proceedings on the building
moved to Lots 17 and 18 Block 9 TOWNSITE OF LARKINS, and for taking
action on the note due February 1,
Mayor Yarborough reported on the comblaints received from property
owners in the neighborhood of the building in question, which had been
moved in and had been left in its wrecked condition. This led to
a discussion regarding the moving in of shacks and ways and means of
prohibiting this in the future, specific mention being made of a similar
condition existing in the territory adjoing SEA VIEW PARK. Councilman
Schowalter questioned the legality of charging a fee for looking at
a building before granting permission,to move it, as such a procedure
usually required several hours time, at the least. Councilman VVan
derboegh suggested that one requirement be that a building to be moved
in have at least 50% of the value required for the area to which it
is intended to move it. Both points were discussed and,upon the as-
surance of Attorney Adams that such provisions: aesagxNikJi nax could be
adopted, Councilm�.h Gladden, seconded by Councilman Vanderboegh, moved
that Ordinance #57, known as �Igg ng Ordinance" be amended to
include the following: 1. A .0 ee, payable in advance, for having
a building inspected prior to 'moving it into the City, said inspection
to be made by a committee of 3 consisting of the Building inspector and
2 members of the Council. 2. Permit for moving not to be issued until,
appraisal committee has given approval, and fee for moving and altera-
tions to be in addition to appraisal fee. 3. That any building to be
moved in must have at least 500 of the valuation in it of the zoning
district Into which it is to be moved. Motion carried.

Regular rules of business were suspended to permit visitors to pre-
sent their business. Mr. Arthur Frost rose to ask that he be given
time later in the course of the meeting. Mr. Chas. I. Brooks asked
Whether an adjustment could be- worked out on tax certificates for
lots•in the colored quarters, if he were to clear out the road and
make them accessible. Councilmen Core and Vanderboegh and Mayor
Yarborough were appointed as a committee to confer with Mr. Brooks
on the matters to see what could be worked out.
Irs. Frost was then asked to present his business, whereupon he

regard to the Pendray house, stating his own objections thereto in
no indefinite terms. He also stated that the 1hillips place had not

At this point, President Brown, who was about to excuse himself for
the balance of the meeting, realized that the report of the Fire Chair-
man had not been called for, and asked Councilman Thompson for it.
Councilman Thompson first brought up the matter= of his judgeship, and
tendered his verbal resignation of the post. In response to the Mayorts

moved that Councilman Thompson be given a vote of thanks for all he

which E. . Rogers was injured,Councilman Thompson reported a small
fire at" a house, as well as some complaint on the present fireman and
the possibility of making a change. In the course of the discussion

notice warranted the policy of giving 15 days pay therewith. President
Brown suggested that any City employee who oversteps be brought before
the Council and 11put on the carpet" before any action is taken on dis-
missal.

of charge all day long to any who want to use it, 'brought forth consi-
derable discussion and a request from Councilman Core that a definite
decision be reached. Inasmuch as there i., no appropri',tion in the current
budget for the upkeep, it was generally conceded that the Hall could
not be thrown open to all, bnd Councilman Gladden, seconded by Council-
man Vand *_rboegh, moved that any legitimate organization in the City of

ThE CITY HALL r r 8 :00 P. y,.
The meeting was called to order by President '.inford . Browny
those }present being Mayor Yarborough and Councilmen Gladden, Thompson,
Bennett, Schowalter, Vanderboegh and Brown, and City h;ttor* 1 madams..
It was opened with the reading of the notice for the meeting which had "
been called for the purpose of taking action on the condemnation pro
ceedir_�s involving the structure on Lots 17 and 18 Block 9 TOVINSITE OF
LMr INS, in accordance with provisions of Ordinance t97.
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. Brown also stated that the wood in the sheathing on the
porch was rotten and that the roof rafters there were spliced and not
rights and ,proceeded with the reading of the second notice, dated March
15, 1938
In response to the suggestion of Atty. 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. Adams asked regarding objection #2 in the first notice and I.:r. Pen-
dray replied that it had been taken care of. In reply to Eir.Adamsr ques-
tion regarding the bracing of the entire structure, Mr. ;,endray reported
that this ,as being done as the wovk_ proceeded. Councilman Schowalter
stated that the improper bracing referred to in the first .notice pertained
to the part kkxt of the builaing since then torn off and Bldg. Tnsxeotor
Canington stated that It would be necessary to remove some of the ceding
in the iiouse or batten strips on the outside, to check on the bracing of
the man part of the structure. fires. 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.
C
To Pres. Brown's question whether he is able to continue operation: and
finish the structure without delays 11r.Pendray replied "yes1I stating
that he has everything lined up% including the plumbing. V Pres. Brown's
question, and Bitty. Theed's repetition thereofq whether lie was financially
able to go ahead with the work, M .Fendray again replied "yes't' and stated
there was no question but that he could go ahead and complete the building.
in response to Mayor,Yarborough's question of hog, long it would take to
complete the wor4.1,,r. pendray replied that he believed he could close
it in in a week or 10 days and hoped to get into the building in four weeks
or 30 days, having it. practically completed by then.
Following arguments as to whether or not the work had been continuous up
to the serviAg of the 2nd,notice9 on the condemnation proceedings, Council-
man Bennett, seconded by Councilman Gladden, moved that decision be re-
served.and the hearing adjourned, to be resumed at another special meeting

to discuss the proposed location of 3 additional street lights and
installation costs. Under the terms of the existing agreement with
the Co. there is no charge for installations extending not more than -
300 ft. beyond the last light and inasmuch as the locations at which

a year, it was decided to install 2 additional lights, a total of 5
thus obtaining lights at the desired locations without installation
costs. The following locations were decided upon;

Regular order of business vaas suspended at this point to -
enable visitors present to take part in the discussion regarding
the prcposed water works prc, jest. Ii'r. Chas. A. Mills asked what
it would mean to property owners in terms of taxation. 1?r. 7',m.
Sydow, engineer for the proposed project, explained in detail that
of funds received from. the government, 45`A would represent an
outright grant and ,the 55`b loaned would be repayable out of the
net income of the project, at 4 , secured by revenue certificates
retired in series. He assured all present that loans were being
made only on projects that would be very definitely self-
liquidating. Other interested , property owners present entering
into the discussion were Ti:esrs. John Myers, Gec. Coffin, -John Dye,;
J. L. Bailey and Mrs. Amelia Soukup. As further assurance to
all that the proposed project cannot mean an increase in,taxes,
Yayor Yarborough read Sec. 3 of a proposed resulution ( #145,
passed later in evening) definitely providing; against taxation in
,any form to meet the payments of the revenue certificates. A
discussion of this section resulted in expressions of approval fore
the proposed project on the part of the majority present.
Vice -Pres. Bennett pointed out that the discussion just
completed indicated that the general public as a whole apparently
had the wrong idea of the proposition and suggested that enough
copies of the next edition of the E)UTH L.IAY.IAN' be obtained to
put a corny in every citizen's home in South Ptiami, explaining the
project thoroughly and printing, Sec. 3 previously referred to.

The balance of the meetin ieference as devoted to discussion of zoning problems {
in general, with special to the revised plat of Bloch 2 and 3
WESTERFIELD ILWOR, in the first part of which Messrs. Preston and Cor-
mask of the Dade Co. Zoning Commission took part. Mr. Preston pointed U
out that in cases where zoning matters were taken to Court, more favor-
able action could be expected where it can be shown that zoning regula-
tions were not a "hit- and -Miss" set of rules subject to change and
special interpretation by a politica� body but'were, backed by an advi-
sory committee of private individuals to which all matters were referred
for consideration and recommendation. He also outlined the set -up for„
toads, with main arterial highways at definite intervals, the importance
of maintaining,,their width thru municipalities, and the lesser roads wi!L
jogs at occasional intersections automatically enforcing lower speeds
in traffic
i
In connection with the above t �nn p}.at, the question of use ryas
meo next discussed, the owner af� to My having requested that business
be permitted in all of Block 2. , WAIL both Bird and Red Roads designated
as arterial highways and a 100 ft. right -of -way desired ultimately, but
with existing buildings to be considered, the following was suggested:
Block '2: 50 ft. R /V1 dedicated and 15 ft.. set back
for building line's along both Red and Bird=
Block 3: 50 ft. R/W dedicated and a 6 ft. set bae;k
for building line along; Red Road.
With present roads in some instances not centered on section lines, it
was deemed advisable to establish building lines from said section lines
rather than present street lines, and after further discussion on the
subject of arterial highways$ etc. Councilman Bennett, seconded by Coun
cilman Schouralter,'made the following motion: That an ordinance be pre
pared, recognizing Bird, Red Sunset and Ludlum Roads as arterial ;high
waysg and that the 'building line along these roads be established not
less than 65 ft. back from the section linei that a committee of three,
property owners of South Miami, recommended by the Mayor and 'approved
by the Council, be provided for, to act in an advisory capacity and make
recommendations, whenever , interpretations of regulations are involvedt or
changes in zoning regulations requested, also to pass on plats presented
for approval, with the final disposition in any case to rest with the
Council. Motion carried.
Following a discussion, Councilman Gladden, seconded by Councilman Bennettq
moved that a temporary committee of three citizens be appointed by Free.
Brown and the WESTXiFIBLD ?'ANOR plat submitted to them for action. Motion
carried, and Pres.'Brown namei Messrs.Chas._ Fuchs, Jr., John Myers and
Emile Cotton to that committee.
Councilman Bennett reported a trade with Geo. Wiegand, whereby the City
gcquired the latterts short -Have auto radio ass #$,,fi�e c u /Jr�l
thereon, amounting to $20.000 giving him the old pp�ce"ta o�dj.00
in exchange. This met with the approval of the Councilq and Councilman, .

'In the absence of Pres. Brown, the meeting was called to order
by Vice Pres. H. P. ,Bennett, with Councilmen Gladden, Vanderboegh
Thompson, Core and Bennett responding to roll call.
Vice- Pres. Bennett read the notice for the meeting which had been called
for the purpose of considering the proposed rock -pit transaction and
taking under advisement action on the temporary building_ permit requested
by John Vohs.
Altho it was a special meeting, the floor was given to a delegation of
citizens 'composed of Messrs. E. C. Huling, :J. E. Cordell and R. P.
Reddick, who had come to request that S 1st St. be put into better
condition, as it is being used considerably. 'nays and means were dis-
cussed and need for the improvWwnt admitted, but with limited funds
available. no definite promise could be made and the matter was left
for Councilman Core io look into and try to worn out with the County.
Councilman Vanderboetg reported on his conference with representatives
of owners of the rock pit located on a 20 -acre tract, for which they
wanted $600. After discussion from various angles, motion was made by
Councilman Gladden, seconded by Councilman Thompson, i *Rd. that
a deposit of $25..00 be put up, returnable if the Co. Zoning.commission
refused its consent to the use of the pit as a dump, and the signing
of an agreement for deed, providing for payment of the balance, as
followst $75.00 on or after December 15, $200. in six months and
the balance of $300.00 in 18 months. Motion carried by poll, as, follows:
Gladden yes Vanderboegh yes Thompson yes Core yes Bennett yes
Councilman Core reported that in connection with the bldg. permit being
sought by John Vohs on Trot 26 Block 5 WESTM- FIELD MANOR, he had been ad-
vised by John Ravlinq representative of the present owner, that said
lot had not been sold, and would not be sold unless the purchaser agreed'
to put up a house. Mr. Vohs insisted that a payment had been made but ad-
mitted that the property was being purchased by "the lady "' and that any
ppermit issued or agreement to be signed would have to be in her name.
There were further discussions resulting in a declaration by.Atty. Adams
that it would be bad policy for the Council to agree to any ,. aiver of
resctrictions in any ordinance over the protests of residents of the neigh
borhodd in question. Th# Council concurred in this and refused to sanctim
a bldg permit for a temporary structure for occupation as living quar-
ters on the property in question.

Ut of the NWI of Sec. 26, no longer within the City limits and on which
certificates were outstanding for the years 1927 to 1933 inclusive

these certificates be settled on a basis of `5.00 per acre, or a total'
of ;$150.00, in accordance with Resolution A122. Motion carried.
The - second tax certificate adjustment requested was based on error in
assessment, the lots having been carried on the books as improved until
the last roll, and available records at the Court House indicating that
as far back as 1934 there were no improvements, and inquiry among resi-
dents in the neighborhood further bore out that th'e'property had been
assessed as improved in error over a longer period. Councilman Gladden,
seconded by Councilman Vanderboegh,, moved that the improvement be stricken
frgm the roll 'back to 1926, the tax certificates be corrected to 4 rri the rz 4
r
amount due for unimproved property and settled on that basis. "The pr
perty in question consisted of lots 3, 4 and 6 Block C TOI.NSITE OF
LARKINS and the adjustment had been asked by J. L. Bailey, who was ac-
quiring it.
The building activities of John Vohs, on 'Lot 26 Block'5 WEbT,ERFIELD
MANOR were next discussed, Mr. Vohs not only putting up a building_
without a permit, but violating the zoning ordinance as to the building
itself., Followint, a discussion, in Which Councilman Bennett urged that
a test case be made;, if necessary, ,C ouncilman Thompson, seconded by
Councilman Vanderboegh, moved that Atty. Adams be instructed to start �}
legal action, but to be sure that all papers are in order so that there
can b«- no slip_ -up. Motin carried. It was ;:pointed out that FHA loans
were about to be approved for South Miami and therefor especially im-
portant that building ordinances be enforced,.
A general discussion regarding requirements which would qualify property
for FHA insurance followed and resulted in a motion made by Councilman
Vanderboegh, seconded by Councilman Schowalter, that a letter be addressed
to the FHA officials and given to Pair. John Dye, stating the Council's
willingness to co- operate as far as practical, and suggesting that a
Committee meet with them to go into details. Motion carried.
Two other building permit matters had been scheduled but were not taken
up owing to the failure of the interested parties to attend the meeting

Regular order of business was suspended to take up the requests
of visitors present. Mr. A. Treister, recent purchaser of the
CA14BRIDGL LAIADTS group ,of houses and most of which have been
re -sold to individual owners now occupying them, made ;a plea
for bus service, supported in his statements by Mr. T. Hollings-
worth and Mrs. Willard, residents of CAMBRIDGE LAVINS. The;
matter was discussed with Councilman Bryant 1 who asked the
Council to withhold any action until he could look into the
matter and canvass CA11BRIDGE to see just what could be
worked out,
Mr. A. D. Mayer requested a decision on his keeping chickens.
Councilman Bryant stated that FHA commitments are partly con-
tingent on the condition of surrounding property. Councilman
Bostwick reported that permit taken out by Mr. Mayer had been
for a garage but the building was somewhat low and temporarily
being used for a chicken house. Mr. Fosselman, a ndighbor of
the Mayers, stated that other conditions in the neighborhood
were much more objectionable than the Mayer's chickens. Council-
man Bostwick expressed his belief that matters could be arranged
satisfactorily, with the chicken house hidden by lattice and
shrubbery and Mr. Mayer expressing his willingness to give a
written agreement to move the chickens away within 30 days if
FHA authorities requested it. Councilman Gladden suggested that
Mr. Mayer be permitted to keep his chickens until others in the
same neighborhood can be similarly regulated. At this point
Mayor Glass suggested that the matter be held over pending his
report on other matters connected, therewith.
Reports of standing committees were thereupon declared in order
and were as follows
Finance. 0. K. Time to be thinking of the next budget.
Sanitation. To be taken up later with the Mayor's report.
Fire* Everlthing in good shape. Another well being put dorm in
colored section. Councilman Thompson reported that the residents
of that section had expressed their desire and willingness to
clean up and asked whether they could be given assistance in
hauling off the trash. Action on this was also to be withheld
pending the Layor's report.
Police. d. X. Councilman ,Bennett suggested that if a fireworks
ordinance be passed in time to be effective for the forthcoming
July 4th, it should be drafted without further delayp It was
decided to incorporate the following conditions: 10 No fire-
works to be discharged within 250 feet of Sbneet Mrive Prom
Red Road to 4th Avenue, within 250 feet of State Highway from
Red Road to S. 4th Avenue., within 250 feet of N. 2nd Road from

filling station. 2. Sale of fireworks to be limited to few
days before July 4, and Dec. 25, respectively. 3. Discharging

preceding midnight of holiday being celebrated (July 4, or Dec.,

the next meeting.
Streets & Parks. 0 K.
Buildings. Councilman Bostwick reported that repairs to the
City Hall roof had been made at a total cost of 14.37, being
$4.50 for labor and a cash outlay of $9.87 for materials made
by E. L. Thompson. Councilman Gladdens seconded by Councilman
Core, moved that the bill be paid as read. blotion carried by

Reports of special committees were asked for Mayor Glass was
not yet prepared to report on costs of suggested city limits
road signs, but presented a letter from Scoutmaster Prucha
explaining the need for additional space at the Scout but or the
use of the Community Bldg. Mayor Glass asked the Council to
endorse the proposed porch additions to the ,hut, to be built
at no expense to the City, but wheti it was pointed out that
any addition would have to conform with present architecture,
and that it was also a question of ground space, it was suggested
that the Council attend the next Boy Scout meeting before
making any decision. Mayor Glass also appointed Councilman
Thompson as the representative of the Council in all Scout
matters.
Mayor Glass' suggestion that the City take out a membership
in the South Miami District Chamber of Commerce resulted in
a motion by Councilman Gladden, seconded by Councilman Bost-
wick and carried, that this be done.
In response to Ares. Vanderboegh's request for a statement
on the present status of the Quo Tdarranto cases, Atty. 'Ward
reported that the Land Realty Co., case was still unsettled,
and that the appeal on the Vandenboon- Pearson case would,
probably not be scheduled before the middle of the summer and
possibly set for the September Calendar.
On the matter of zoning Atty. +yard expressed his belief that
care exercised in the issuance of occupational licenses would
insure good control of C -1 uses as defined in Ordinance #98
and afford ample protection. A discussion followed on the
question of permitting business at the corner of Bird and
Red Roads, Atty. Ward expressing his opinion that 90% of the
City's grief carne from unnecessary law suits against
the and that in order to grow, it was necessary that the
City try to meet citizens half -way. While Councilman Gladden
was not in favor of permitting business on Red Road at any
point North of the Railroad, Councilman Thompson stated that
in his opinion it was a question of what is test for all con-
cerned.
and believed that residential development in the vicinity of
Red and Bird roads would be encouraged with the establishment
of a restricted business area at that corner. Councilman
p Bennett, seconded by Councilman Bostwick, moved that lots 10'
to 15 inclusive,, Block 2 WESTERFIELD MANOR See. 1 & 2 be re-
zoned For C -1 use and Res. 177 read. Motion carried.

Councilman Thompson,, seconded by Councilman Bennett, then moved

Mayor Glass reported that the Sanitary- Officer (Councilman
Bryant) would like at least 500 notices for distribution to
property owners and residents, regarding garbage cans., as per
ordinance with at least one 20
gal. garbage can on display at
the City Hall, questioning the possibility of arranging to supply
them at wholesale price to purchasers. Councilman Bryant,
seconded by Councilman Bostwick, moved that 1000 notices re-
igarding garbage control be printed, including thereon information
regarding the purchase of cans. Motion carried. Mayor Glass -
then proceeded with his report, explaining that he had been
working on 3 things, namely, sanitation, building restrictions
and zoning, and taxes. He stressed unsanitary conditions
existing both,in colored and in white sections and suggested
the appointment of a committee of 1 or 2 Councilmen, himself
and 1 or 2 citizens to take up the questions of what to do
about taxes, zoning, including the installation of . septic
tanks. He suggested the City put in septic tanks in the
streets'. Councilman Bostwick raised the.que:stion of what pro
vision*06 had for running water. Mayor Glass stated that the
Sanitary Department had approved the appointment of 2 men (4
to 6 weeks) with special police power,, to clean up the town.
Councilman Core then took the floor to advise that the City
had no money to spend to hire people to go around to force'
citizens to do things they cannot do but suggested that more
can be accomplished by trying to work things out with them.
He expressed himself, as not being in favor of jumping out and
forcing the issue,, working hardship on people, and stated that
what is fair for one is fair for all, especially in connection
with the Mayer chicken problem. :v!ayor Glass replied that it
was not =a question of individual hardship but a question "of
the town. Councilman Bostwick suggested that much could be done
by getting up teams of two and contacting families in an effort
to work k
mould out problems with then, believing that at least 50%
operate. Further discussion resulted in ,a motion by
Counlm
cian Gladden, seconded by Councilman Bostwick,, that Pres.
egh appoint a committee to bring in recommendations.
Motion carried and Pres. Vanderboegh appointed Councilmen
Bryant and Thompson with Mayor Glass, with the suggestion that
they try to get Messrs. Mayer and Bailey to serve for the
citizens on that committee.

all members of the Council, Mayor Glass, Atty. ',lard and Tyr.
C. W Butler of the FHA present.
Pres. Vanderbo;egh read the notice for the meeting, which had
been called for the purpose of discussing further the proposed
sanitary campaign and the forthcoming budget.
Mr. Butler explained that the FHA, being a government agency,
operated under definite regulations and that up to the present
the small towns had been somewhat overlooked He stressed the
importance of a strict zoning ordinance and strict protection
to property and stated that the tax situation is also of vital
interest to the FHA. He ;explained that in order to be entitled'
to maximum loans, an area must be built up more than 25 %. He
also stated that he could see no reason why people cannot have
chickens in South Miami and also expressed his belief that he
saw no reason why the FHA cannot be of benefit to the City, and
accordingly will want a brief statement of the City's tax
structure, including millage, a copy of the zoning ordinance and
map City.' suggested that the most desirable area be
decided on and then concentrate on it for building activity.
Their policy was that two and one -half times a man's annual in-
come should be the maximum value of his home that not more than
one- fifth of his income should be spent for shelter2 that there
should be.a direct ratio between the cost of a lot and the cost
of the improvement, which should be between * and 10 to 1,
that cubic contents rather than cost be the determining factor
in restrictions and that there should be a certain degree of
uniformity within each area on that factor. He also said that
sanitation and health conditions were among the primary objects `
of FHA, which seeks to improve living conditions in general.
In leaving, 11r. Butler assured the Mlayor and Council of his
desire to co- operate with the City insofar as possib3e.
Mayor Glass reported on the meeting of the committee, which had
been held at the home of Mr. Bailey. He stated that everybody
wanted the town cleaned up and wanted it done gracefully and
without putting anybody in jail. fir. Bailer's well in the
colored section was believed C. X. but as a precautionary meas-
ure the water was tieing tested. The well is 56 ft. deep and
it was agreed that this depth Most likely guaranteed against
surface pollution. Mr. Bailey had suggested that problems be
taken as they come up. L%yor Glass expressed his belief that
much had already been accomplished and suggested that the
,committee continue to function. He also suggested that a letter
be Written Commissioner +Crr of M tai commending him for his
efforts in behalf of an adequate Water supply system for the
entire Greater iami areas
Councilman Care suggested that the trash man begin working an
hour earlier each day, thereby getting through an hour earlier
in the evening, leaving 3 to 4 daylight hours in which to hire
an extra man and with prisoners take the truck to haul away
trashy vetting in at least alf a day's work. It was agreed

ADJOURNED MEETING OF 'THE CITY C tNCIL
OF THE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI', FLORIDA'
HELD FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 9, A. D 1939
AT $30 F. M. AT THE CITY HALL.
The meeting; was called to order by Pres. Vanderboe`gh, with Mayor
Glass, all members of the Council and Atty. .'Yard present.
The business of the evening being a conference with the representatives
of the Dorn Brothers', ; Mrs.- 'Robert Dorn and Mr. H. W. Dorn were
present.
A statement of all outstanding tax certificates and omitted 1937 and
1938 taxes still held by the City on the Dorn properties, totaling
$1,471.82 principal, and $423,17 interest collectible to date was
presented. It was also pointed out that in the original agreement,
made April 26, 1937, Dorn Brothers agreed to deed the City, free and
clear, Lots 2 and 3 Block 2 and the S. 25 ft. of Tract 2 COMMERCIAL
LARKINS for certain outstanding tax certificates totaling $936.44
principal and interest, and that this agreement included all out-
standing taxes through 1935 under certificate to the City. Since
that date, the 1936, 1937 and 1938 taxes have come under certificate,,
and Atty. Ward pointed out that under Florida law the lCity ` had a
right to make adjustments on certificates more than two years old but
that the full face and interest must be collected on those less than
two years old. With certificates on 9 lots in Block C of TOWNSITE OF
LARKINS and those on lots 2 and 3 .DORN BROTHERS otherwise disposed
of to within the past year, substitutions in equal amounts would have
made) Atty. _ pointed out that this would have to be
by Resolution and further, that the Council could not allow any more
consideration for the 3 lots than the amount originally agreed upon
in 1937 but could purchase an additional lot, by an amendment to the
original agreement. It was decided that something would have to be'
worked out,•nasmuch as it was the desire of the Dorn interests to
clear up all outstanding taxes, but stating themselves as limited in
available funds and offering a cash payment of $400.00 for the bal-
ance due. It was suggested that the City might purchase an addition-
al 25 ft. This was to be considered by the Dorn interests, with a
detailed statement of the certificate>in the original agreement,
those for which substitutions were to be made, and those now added in the course of the 2 years, to be worked out by the Clerk, before
any further action is taken:
