for taking over in his absence and complimented the Council for the
work done during the summer.
Minute's of the regular meeting of September 6 were approved as read.
At this point the newly appointed City Attorney, John Ruffi was pre-
rented to the Mayor and the Council, and seated.;
TN. H. Atwood, on behalf of the South Miami Volunteer Fire Dept. stated
that they would like permission to erect a small building on the Com-
munity Building grounds, to be built by the Volunteer Firemen and do
nated to the City, to replace the tool shed and include a refreshment_ stand
and tolets, for men and women. It is to be a CBS structure 10 by 24 ft.
Councilman Carballo, seconded by Councilman Andrews moved that the

motion to read "that when building permit is issued, that it be issued
t without charge.'
The motions as amended, was carried.
Mr. Atwood also asked, in connection with the proposed carnival] whether
there would be any objection to using tps ball park field for that par
pose,
Councilman Andrews asked when the Carnival would be held, to which the
reply was "Nov. 28 to Dec. 102" and Councilman Andrews suggested the
inquiry be turned over to the Streets & Parks Department. Pre&. Van
Dusen turned the matter over to the Streets & Parks Department to work out.
`V W. Stewart again appeared before the Council in reference to his house
at 411 S. 3rd Rd.9 stating that the work was being done after Inspector
Carrington and A. H. Baxter, engineer, had gotten,together. Mr. Baxter
stated he will give a report in the morning, in writing. Mr. Carrington
reported he had gotten together with Air. Baxter, that the roof which had
been the main trouble, had, been braced by doubling the braces and it had
been tied down O.K., and he would now recommend it as safe.
After discussion Councilman Gresham stated Ure Stewart was given a permit,
apparently did all he could to try to make the house safe, and made the
motion, seconded by Councilman Preble, that the final inspection be
granted. f

After discuss!ion2 Councilman Andrews asked whether Inspector Canington
would recommend final approval be given this building.
Inspector Caning-ton replied yes9 that the way it is braced ups the
entire building although being sealed inside with compounds the
overhead is of plywood2 and plywood sides, but the sides cannot be
tied. The side walls are set up on 16 in. centers on 2 x 4.
Councilman Phebish stated that when he took the oath of office he
agreed to uphold the laws of the City of South Miami, and cannot
approve a violation as flagrant as this one.
Pros. Van Dusen asked if they,, approved_ this building which does not
come up to the building code2 are they placiilig themselves in °a bad
position with future construction?
Councilman Preble asked the City Attorney (1) is any individual to
look to the City for any damage to any house In any hurricane or
disaster, V.).' what can be done to make the house acceptable under
the code or will it be necessary to condemn the house after permits
have been granted for its erection.
Atty. Ruff stated that to question #1, the answer is 'snot' and that
on.#2 he feels that perhaps insofar as his legal rights are concerned
after the City issued permit and knew at time of application was made
that the building was to be a pre- fabricated type of building that Mr.
Stewart would be able thru mandamus action to require final approval of
his building when it had been made safe enough. If there was- misrepre-
sentation on his part at the time he asked for permit then he cannot
get anywhere.
After discussion, Councilman Preble stated he would withdraw his second
to the motion until such time as Mr. Baxter submits his statement in
writil-ig and Councilman Gresham withdrew 'his. motion.
Councilman Gresham moved that at such time as Mr. Baxter submits a
letter to the City of South Miami stating satisfactory strength and re-
inforcement of the building that Mr. Stewart be granted a final in-
spection. The motion was lost for want of a second.
Geo. Finkq prominent architect, stated he had built a house across from
Mr. Boyden of standard CBS construction, with X x 6 beams 24 in. on cen*
ter anchored at all >points, considered that hurricane proof building.
He had noticed different parts of construction, saw the ,excavation For
the foundations the truck, pulls up with the material., they worked till
very late in the evening, putting on the roof, within 3 -4 days the
entire house was closed in. He stated he was not an engincerl does not
like pre- fabricated houses regardless of guaranteeal and would at this
time like to state that he doesn't think a pre- fabricated house is a
credit to any community. In the final analysis the cost is ac much as
a regular house and he does not believe that a, house of than type will
stand the kind of winds we get here.
Councilman Prebish, seconded by Councilman Carballo, moved that they
4 table the request of Wre Stevtart until the next meeting.
Councilman Carballo asked that 1W. Baxter rend a letter in the mean-
whilep and stated he also wants to inspect the viallc.
3.
Councilman Andrews suggested that the matter should be brought by Mr.
Stewart in a formal petition for inspection taking into account the
violations that occurred.

In connection with setting up Improvement District H -15, Pres. van
Dusen read ¬ice as sent out to the residents and which was a

T. P. Miller asked what about S.W. 64th Ave. and Councilman Gresham'
explained; that he would see what could be done about that, as it is
half in the Co
W. W Wallis and,1as. H. Riley objected to the Improvement District,
claiming this should be maintenance, that if the City needs taxes,
it should get them some other way.
Max L. Coll -Pardo does not feel it entirely fair that the entire cost
should be charged to the property owner.,
Fred Wickham wanted to know what about the area between the edge of the

Ray lnekwalter said he would like to see the street re- built.
Councilman Andrew& stated the streets will be rebuilt at 350 an
abutting ft.

they were building.
Councilman Andrews ,stated he is working on an ordinance that would: re-
quire each builder to put up bond for the prevention of such occurrehoes

Councilman Preble presented C. P. Thayer of the Dade County Health Dept and
asked that he be given an opportunity to speak regarding the sanitary con-
ditions at the bus station.
➢ar. Thayerctated that the bus station in South Miami is considered a bus
terminal and as such should' have suitable toilets for the public, that in
a terminal they can,require comfort stations. The original plans called
for those facilities for both white and colored. Upon complaint by the
Public, it ;is the Dade County Health Dept's duty to see that it is cor-
rected, 'that complaints have been received from neighbors that people
congregate and make it an unsanitary nuisance. He read from the Fla. Sani-
tary Code and stated they had tried to work thru the Council to enforce it
that they do not want to go contrary to the wishes of the 0016f9(%X �� 1(jd-

where the Greyhound busses pull up, requesting that the bus stop be moved,

Dade County :Health Department signifying that the City Council of South Mami
feels there is a definite lack of sanitary facilities at the bus terminal
i
_5..
and desires that the County take proper steps to see that South Miami Coach
Lines provide such facilities.
^--on, call for a vote, the motion was carried.
in connection with the location of the bus stop, Councilman Preble stated
that question at the present time does not involve the South Miami Coach
Line but involves the Greyhound, that they would have to be notified'that
they must use the present terminal for loading and unloading. He believes
if they will talk. with the Greyhound Bus people they would be willing to
co- operate, that he would like to bring out the idea that the suggestion
was also brought out in connection with the toilets in the terminal, that
the Greyhound people might also assist financially in erecting those
facilities.
Pres. VanDusen appointed Councilmen Preble and Corley ° to go see 'Bar. Farmer
and present this entire picture to him and get his re- action and report at
the next meeting if possible.

Jos. A. N-avel of the Guaranty Roofing Co. stated that Mr. Keith and several
others walked on the roof before it had a chance to bond, which loosened
the tile. He went back and fixed it, that they had 4 -5 different complaints,
that the job is being done under FHA Title #1 and corrections being made.
The petition of the neighbors was read, and also the letter from the Keiths "
Mr. Baxter reported he had inspected the roof about 3 days ago and found it
t ,in as good condition as any tile roof he has inspected, well laid and ce-
Tented. He stated if they can get two .`roofers from Coral Gables or Miami
to condemn it, they they can make them take it off.
Following- discussion Pres. Van Dusen called attention to the statements of
both Mr. Baxter and inspector'Canington that the roof is tight.

been paid to the City.

ordinance drawn ups that they asked Mrs. Lee if she was willing to sell the
bus facilities to the City and she took personal affront to even the sug-
gestion but said she was not making money and would sell to the City at
the price the Miami Transit offered. He believes, the City should get a
price on it
Councilman Preble stated if the price is submitted and the City would de-
sire to purchase the equipment and was able to make this purchase, they
still would not get it because it now comes out that the Miami Transit Com-
pany has an option of';acceptince on any price that is made.
There was discussion for and against extending the franchise at this time
versus purchase of long range equipment.
After discussion2 Councilman Preble suggested that an ordinance governing
any franchise be turned over to Atty. Ruff for study and bring back for
recommendations at the next meeting.
Councilman Carballo questioned the clarity, of the ordinance as to ownership.
Councilman Treble stated the tax was to be ? for 6 months and ]% for the other
6 months

chise, and that being a fact, believes he should be removed from that
committee
Copncilman Preble believes the public has a right to be heard and believes.
Councilman Andreas belongs on the committee to represent the other side.
Mayor Acker stressed getting a contract by which the City will get some
taxes, that it is a 2 -way proposition, the company must also have enough
time to warrc �,F` purchase of additional equipment.

Sanitation: Chairman Corley brought up the question of the pit.and an
argument by one of the residents of the county. He 'understands that the
City has full and clear title to the property and wondered about using
,the rock out of the pit. Atty. guff was asked to check whether that 10
acres can be gotten back into the City ( it was not sued out but set out.);
Chairman Corley also reported that N:4hall had checked the pit and will

Buildings: Chairman Andrews reported on the requirements for permits to
put on.tile roofs, in dams they require a permit and provide an inspec-
tion in the course of the application. They do not submit final approval
merely make inspections in course of application of roof. Anything con-
trary to code requirements is stopped. In Dade County they require a
permit, they make the application for the roof and wait a period of 72
hours 1n which the inspector serving that area is given notice that
application has been made and he ;goes immediately and makes a survey and
inspection of the building as to whether or not construction of the roof is
sufficient in strength to carry the new roof2 investigating ceiling joists.,.
studs, etc. Hialeah requires a permit and makes a charge and inspector
makes observation of roof. Coral Gables issued permits and collects a
fee and that is all, gives no inspections. In all cases the permit is
obtained by the contractor and in all cases the building inspectors put
their faith in the contractor. Nuch of tile work applications in this area
is based on confidence in 'tile roof firms. In all cases requirements of per
