The meeting was called to order by President Van Dusan with all members of the
Council responding to roll call, also Mayor Acker and Attorney Ruff. Minutes
of the regular meeting of November l5th., weze read. Following a correction on

approved as read.;
PETITIONS: A petition was presented by Rev. Murray re: Marion Finch, presenting
a letter signed by Henry W. Korner, acting secretary of the Civil Service Board,
also a letter addressed to Dr. Van Dusan by Marion Finch. Franklin Parson
as legal representative for Finch and the colored people was introduced. Also
a letter was presented addressed to the Council dated November 25, 1949 by
Judge Cecil C. Curry was read. Mr. Parson stated he would like to have.Finch
restored to his ;job or have cause shown why he should not be replaced, or have
evidence brought before the council, or have Finch replaced by another colored'
police officer.
Mr. Gresham said he would lire to make the motion that this letter of reinstate-
ment of Finch be denied and his resignation be .accepted. Proble seconded the
motion. Mayor Acker stated that the day after Finch's resignation;, he started
trying to get a man to replace him, that there was no thought of personality,
that the personality of Finch is standing in the way of danger, and he was try -
ing to make it a permanent thing to have colored policeman. Van Dusan said
we should have Finch replaced with a colored policeman and asked Mayor Acker to
review the records and pick out a good man, and Attorney Ruff was to inquire
of Chief Headly for proper candidates. Mr. Glasel stated the remarks of Mr. Prebish
were not consistent as to being inefficient and a menace, that if the man was
efficient;, he cannot be inefficient.
Mr. Parsons stated that pressure and coercion were used to secure the resignation
of Finch in South Miami and wished brought forth any sound or valid reason why
he should not be restored to office. He was so conscientous' and efficient in
the development of his duties that he might have boon killed on his job,; but that
always colored police run into difficulties. That the certified civil service
record in Miami is of such importance that it would bar or not a man's employ -
ment in any city. Mayor Acker stated that it is a complete fallacy Then 'anyone
says that he forced him to resign or refused to give him any help.
Councilman Andrews stated that it has boon shown by the various discussions the
�m — possibility of Marion finch being a satisfactory officer, that accusations have
boon thrown around, which have actually reduced the efficiency and qualities
that might have been desirable, that we must remember that a negro policeman in
this toam is the lowest form of employment, that the petition of the voters should
not be overlooked, should be given careful considoration and that action on the
petition should be taken. Ho roferrod-to Page 5, third' paragraph of the pre-
vious minutes.
President Van Dusan said a motion will have to be made, to rule out Mr. :resham's
motion. Mr• Andrews made the motion that the original motion for the acceptance
of Marion Finch's resignation mhich had boon tabled, be returned to the table
for vote. Seconded by Councilmen Carballo.
" Mr. Parsons asked that before the Board acted on the resignation, the resignation
be withdrawn, Therefore, the resignation was withdrawn after the mbating held herd.
The resignation was in effect at the time this decision was medv, and the
signation was not accepted by the Council at the provious mooting.

President Van Dusa asked

s a are merely continuing to make a decision at a
paragraph, which is the motion that we must
act on at this time. All in favor that the resignation be accepted, and in
favor of returning this back, to the tabled vote. Motion carried by all in
favor saying aye:
Mr. Preble wished, to amend the motion to add that another officer be appointed.
The vote on whether the resignation is accepted was by poll as follovess
Proble yes Corley No Carballo No Andrews Yes Gresham Yes Prebish Yes
Van Dusan No -- Motion carried, and resignation accepted*
Mr. Andrews recommended that Mr. Prebish together with the Mayor prepare a
written recommendation and a favorable recommendation for Marion Pinch to be
signed by Chief McKinney and Mr. Prebish said he will give a report at the next
meeting. Mr. Treble said he would prefer that Mr. Prebish be given the privilege
of showing the colored people that he is in keeping with his desire to give them
another policeman. Prebish moved at this time that a second colored policeman
be employed by the City of South Miami at $155.00 for the 90 ,day probationary
period, which includes uniforms, beginning January 1, 1950• Preble seconded
the motion. Mr. Boyden arose and stated he would like to have policemen from
the school in Miami. Mr. Carballo said he thought Mr. Boyden was right, that
a month ago, he had to hire a fireman and found that we had no record of employees,
that an application for employment be drafted so that we can study the applicants
and avoid repetib ons. Chief McKinney said we have a standing invitation,from the
police academy to 'put men through, but they must be emplIoyed by the city at the
time of going to school.
Motion polled by vote as followse
Preble yes Corley yes Carballo yes' Andrews yes Gresham yes Prebish yes
Van Dusan yes.
Dr. Van Dusan thanked Mr. Parsons for coming.
M Next was read a letter from Bill & Ted's Tavern asking for an extension of closing
hour from 12 midnight to 1 A0M9 presented in person by Ted Zell. Discussion follow-
ing showing the County permits closing at 2 A.M. on week nights and 3 A.M. on
Saturdays. Mayor Acker wants closing times on all taverns equalized, and does
not feel like extending time to 1 A.M. Councilman Prebish stated we.must extend
time for all, and that there is no harm in places all staying open a few hours, -ands:
that Bill and Ted's are entitled to consideration, that they run a very nice place,
and feels that an extra 'hour is all right. He recommends at this time that the
places of business licensed for the sale of alcoholic beverages less than !V.
which may be sold for consumption on the premis and are otherwise licensed for
the sale of beer and wino in the city be permitted to stay open until the hour of
1 A.M. daily. Councilman Carballo stated that since we are going; to extend the
closing hour, it would require amending Ordinance,Ido. 167 to comply with the
suggested hours. Seconded by Corley. Mayor Acker asked that we draw a new
Ordinanoe making the change go through the proper channels. Mr. Lord recommended
Bill & Ted's as a well run place. Mayor Acker stated he was not thinking only
of Bill & Ted's, but says there are so many other places that must be considered.
1(r 0
Mr. Prebish wished to reword the above recomnendated that Bill & Ted's Tavern
be granted a <temporary permit to stay'opon until 1 A.M. daily for a period of
60 days. Motion carried. Gresham voting No.
Mr. Van Dusan suggested that Mr. Prebish and Mr. turf get together and iron out
the kinks on 'amending the closing hours, and Mr. Proble suggested the Mayor also
be placed on the commi•btoe.

Next was presented a petition by Donald R. Lane to safeguard zoning in the area
of sunset and Ludlum Road. Cdr. Carballo seconded by.Xr. Andrews moved to refer
the application to the Zoning Board. Mr. Lane also stated that his, work requires;
him to be in Tallahassee quite a bit, and wishes to offer hit services to the
Council for anything he can do in Tallahassee. Mr. Andrews wishes to obtain
five names for Mr. Lane to -the Charter Board, and also to be placed on the
committee for squaring the city.,
Next J. T Knight and ,Harold T. Stewart were presented to present matters on
slum clearance, coming at Mr. Tripp's invitation, and to answer questions that
the Council might have',on the subject. Mr. Knight stated what the Council had
to do to qualify for housing, authority,`t_iat there is a hand book of information
put out by the F.H.A. in Washington. There is a need for slum clearance and
low rent public housing. 'It is an adjunct of the city but also is separate. It
incorporates a non - profit corporation. The Mayor appoints 5 housing commissioners.
It is automatically incorporated under Florida Law by Resolution of the City
Council. Any town of 2500 or over can incorporate.,, We can secure finances to
do business, thereby voiding any tax penalty on the local governments, bonds are
sold to repay the government. Bonds sell for low interest, about 12%. The idea
is to purchase a slum 'area, have the land cleared and then sold to private industry.
The first act will be for the Council to vote to establish a local housing authority.
Before we can proceed, the whole program has to be endorsed by the City Council.
If' -we organize, the first act is to write to the Regional Office, M.B. Senterfield
' g g g Building,
Area Field Director Public Housn Administrator, Georgia Savings Banff Bu
Atlanta; 3, Georgia.
Mr. Preble asked Mr. Knight about the new discrimination law and Mr. Knight said
any, private or public agency still has the right to select their tenants and all
agree they cannot ,put 'through any non- segregation law without an Act of Congress.
That the only segregation permitted is that if there are deed restrictions on the
land. Mr. Stewart is interested in the building end. He stated that this authority
imposes no financial drain on South Miami but uses government funds. The City
must co- operato with the F.H.A., but it does not come out of City funds, the
property is exempt from taxes by State Law. The exception is that the government
pays 2/3 and the City 1/3, but that the County will join in the cost. Public
housing is really low rental housing. The new act provides for the F.H.A. to go
into an area and clean up. Mr. Andrews asked how long it would take, and Mr. Knight
said we should have the preliminary loan in 60 days, after the government has
approved the site, it takes about a month to start operations, but really up to
throe months should be allowed. IdesaWs'Anight and Stewart are in the picture to
help. Mr. Van Dusan said the Council should bring it up at a later date, and
that it would probably work out in moving the entire area of colored town to
another area, and left it in the hands of the Mayor for further attention*
Next was read a letter from the South Miami Coach Line accepting tho provisions
of Resolution No. 317 for imposing a franchi.;o' tax, as covered by the Charter,
and the tax can be collected 60 days after posting of the letter. Mr. i'reble
stated that toilets arc being installed and 'rolaestod Attorney ltullt to draw
up an Ordinance for the new franchise and on cow lotion of that work and in
compliance with our desires, would like to have tho Ordinanco drawn up so that !.^

it can be placed on first reading. Mr. Andrews said that a committee was to study
the matter. Attorney Ruff said the committee had had one meeting only. Mr. Andrews
- said the committee should make a complete report at the next regular meeting.
Messrs. Preble, Andrews, Acker, Gresham and Ruff to make the report. Mr. Van Dusan
did not feel a response was necessary to the letter.
President Van Dusan said that P. A. Tripp and N. J. Beaver had qualified as
candidates for the Charter Board. Mr. Andrews said he thought the councilmen
should sit on the Charter Board. Attorney Ruff said that one member of the Council
should be on the Charter Board, and Mr. Andrews was nominated to the Charter Board,
and Donald R. Lane also suggested.
Mr. Atwood appeared asking permission for the Volunteer Fire Department to move
the carnival to colored town for the remainder of the week. ,Mr. Andrews made the
motion to move the carnival to Colored town, which was seconded by ?'fir. Carballo
to a location North of 9th. Street and Last of 4th. Avenue. Motion Carried.
Next was read a letter from the Florida Council for the Blind asking that Vending
Machines be placed on public property with proceeds to go to the Council for the
Blind. Mr. Andrews made the motion that we answer the ,letter and have the Florida'
Council for the Blind make a survey. This was seconded by Mr. Gresham. Motion
carried unanimously.,
Mr. Boyden stated that the Chamber of Commerce did not see fit to go ahead with
parking meters at this time.
An intermission of five minutes followed.
Reports of Special Committees:
Councilman Carballo stated that on the Robinson license for beer and wine at
Bird and Red Roads;, he and Mr. Gresham were on a committee to investigate. The
applicant has transferred the lease and Mr. Pepper the new operator does not want
a license.
Next to come up was the confirmation of Preliminary Assessment Roll - 14. Mr
Carballo seconded by Mr. Corley, moved that Resolution #321 be read.
