spectors give their approval, O.K.

Finance: Chairman Preble reported in connection with the bus fran-
chise and visit to the Fla. Motor Lines, that Ur. Farmer was ill at
the time and he consulted with -Itr. Carpenter., his assistant, whom he
found most co- operative but not in a position to make any statement
for the bus that they had been to South Miami to confer with the
Chief of Police concerni1 routing and re- routing of their busses
and parking areas for loading and un&oading of passengers.
He asked that Chief McKinney give an outline of that talk.
Chief McKinney stated that a Mr. Hayce and another gentleman had
come down. At one time the bus stopped where it is now stopping and
was moved, but with the new post o.fice at that location, it had been
changed back. He suggested their using S. lst Street but there was
too much traffic and they cannot come thru the Bus Terminal because
it is not big enough. They are willing to move the bus back on the
opposite corner from where they now stop and the only place where
they can stop. The only other alternative would be to discontinue
bus stop altogether. It was a question of keeping the good will of
the Fla. Motor Lines and giving bus stop or running them out of town.

Pres. Van Dusen believes the City should have this transportation and
give them a stopping place i.ri town..
Councilman Freblo brought up the question of toilets in the bus sta-
tion, he stated it was the attitude of Fla. I,.otor Lines that they
derive so little benefit from the local business that they could not
afford to put in their own station and the South LUami Coach Lines

being agents for them here$ are responsible for those conditions. Re-
garding the franchise, he has not had a chance to comer with the
k Attorney and setting of a date for the hearing.
Atty. Ruff stated his only reconmlendation in reference to the proposed
franchise would be that the franchise also include provision that the
unsatisfactory facilities at the terminal be corrected2 with apparently
a minimum of 4 necessary, acid that the proposed amount of revenue was
considered fair.
Councilman Andrews asked what committee meta that he was not in favor
of the rates
Atty. Ruff2 on the legality of the contract, stated it was felt (in a
discussion with Councilman Preble) that it was a fair rate from the
present amount of traffic handled. The legality of the present fran-
chisel insofar as changed rates where they added 50 for making addi-
tional loop, altering their present route2 this was illegal; other-
wise they have not violated the present franchise.
The proposed franchise is legally O.K. but should be changed before
being voted. -upon to include added facilities at the terminal.

present franchise and start collecting. Atty. Ruff referred to Section

use J� for the months from April Uu u September and 2% for the months
from October thru March.
,/Councilman Preble asked whether in establishing that rate it viould be
possible after a period of time to increase that rate if the City deems
i4 necessary.
(./Atty. Ruff stated the motion should be so worded that the rate be 'based
on present gross receipts and that it be proportionately increased in
10% increments as the yearly revenue increases.

viewed after that date.
Att . Ruff suggested Y that the motion react that the excise tax take
