The regular monthly meeting of Miami Shores Village council was held at the Village Offices at 7:30 P.M. on Tuesday January Sth, 1935. A quorum of the council was p_ present as was the Village Attorney and Village Clerk. The minutes of the previous meeting were read by the clerk and approved. Mr. Remagley made verbal application for permit; to use the building at N .E . 2nd Ave . and 92nd 9t. for certain purposes and the council voiced the opinion that it would be more satisfactory if a written proposal were presented at a later meeting. The village clerk was instructed to send a copy of the Village' s Billboard ordinance to the Biscayne Kennel Club in view of the fact that certain controversy had been had regarding signs in the village which were advertising the Kennel Club. On motion of Dr. Cleghorn, seconded by Mr. Goll, the village clerk was authorized to expend $50.00 for the purpose of snaking a new map of the entire Village. The Village Attorney presented and read a _ report which was approved by the council and which is included as a part of these minutes.

SHARMAN Mr. Charges C. Sharman owns tax sale certificates for State, County and City taxes concerning lots 19, 20, 21 and 22, of Block 3, Belvedere Park, located within Miami Shores Village. these tax certificates date back to 1929, and amount to the sum of $130.97. He has placed these certificates in the hands of his attorney, Mr. P. R. G. Sjostrom for foreclosure. By virtue of the recent foreclosure the Village owns the lots above described. Mr. Sharman has offered to pay the Village the sum of $10.00 for a quitclaim deed to these lots to prevent making the Village a party defendant in his contemplated foreclosure. After some investiga- tion I find that- by reason of his contemplated foreclosure the interest of the Village will be wiped out, as the Village fore- closure was made subject, of course, to outstanding state, county and City of Miami tax certificates. The amount of the Village taxes for the years for which they were foreclosed by the Village amount to approximately $20.00. This does not include costs and expense of foreclosure. In view of the situation it is my opinion that the Village should accept this offer and execute a quitclaim deed to the property which will enable the Village to get something out of this property and at the same time place the property back on the tax roll. MRS. GRACE BENDELOW. Mrs. Grace Bendelow the former owner of lot 13, Block 21, El Portal Section ¢#4, located within Miami Shores Village, has made application for redemption of this property, as the Village now owns it by reason of the foreclosure for the 1932-33 Village taxes due thereon, and she has handed to mo the sum of $17.76, the amount necessary to redeem the same, which amount of money I have paid over to Mr. Carothers, but which I requested him to hold along with the deed in view of the fact that this property , is located on Northeast Sixth Avenue, some 11 lots south of the railroad crossing on Northeast Sixth Avenue, practically opposite the unpaved street which connects the Federal Highway with North- east Sixth Avenue. In view of the location. of this lot I requested that the matter be held open pending therdectsion of the Council with reference to the release of property within this particular area. FARM AND TOWN REALTY CORPORATION. A similar situation exists with reference to this company who have requested redemption of lots 14, 152 16 and 17, of Block 212 E1 Portal Section ¢#4, lots 1 and 2. Bldck 23 and lot 43, of Block 23, E1 Portal Section ##4. It appears from my records that thi's company did not have any interest - in lots 1 and 2, of Block 23, El Portal. With reference to lots 14, 15, 16 and 17, of Block 210 E1 Portal, my records show that this corporation hold tax deeds and had instituted foreclosure of the same, but had not completed it. With reference to lot 43, Block 23, this same condition exists, the legal title to the same having been held by other parties. The title to these lots on which this company owns tax deeds was owned by Municipal Investment Company, which company was dismissed from the foreclosure by reason of the opposition interposed. MRS. PAUL W. KLEFEKER. Mrs. Paul W. Klefeker representingthe North Miami and Biscayne Park Women' s Club has requested of Miami Shores Village permission to allow bus service from North Miami Beach, North Miami and Bis- cayne Park through Miami Shores Village for the sole purpose of serving the area mentioned with through bus service of Miami proper. The City of Miami has given permission for this bus to traverse through its limits. In view of the contract which is now in existence between the Village and Miami Transit Company it was necessary to secure their permission for such permit, and I conferred with Mr. Dunn, President of Miami Transit Company, and he has written me a letter giving permission for such service with certain limitations which letter is as follows, and which conditions should be stated in the license granted for the rendering of this bus service. ( Read Letter) . This matter is therefore, submitted to the Council for its action thereon. MR. A. ,G. ADAMS. Mr. A. 0. Adams owner of tax certificates purchased on the build- ing located on the northwest corner of Northeast Second Avenue and Ninety-sixth Street has requested of Mr. Pruitt and myself a release of this property from the Clerk of the Court who is holding it, along with the rest of the property in which the Village has interest by reason of the last foreclosure, pending ascertainment of the amount of past due taxes thereon, such release for the purpose of allowing him to proceed with a foreclosure of certificates which his company owns concerning the same. Although the building was notincluded in the foreclosure, the lot just directly north of the building was and is owned by the Village, but the certificates which he holds covers not only the lot just north, but also the building mentioned. The exact amount of certificates which his company owns and holds on this property could not be given, but the amount is aomething around $1500.00. After some consultation Mr. Pruitt and I both decided it would be- for the best interest of the Village that such a release be given and the Clerk of the Court was directed to allow him to procure all the necessary data concerning the same for foreclosure. This, of course, will enable the Village to receive all the taxe-s now due the Village, which amount to something over $500.00, and in addi- tion thereto will place this property back on the tax roll. I there- fore suggest that the Council pass a resultion confirming the action of Mr. Pruitt and myself concerning this matter. ROAD REPAIR. I have been having some correspondence with the' State Road Department with reference to the repair of Northeast Sixth Avenue and Northeast Second Avenue. They advised me that they had made some repairs, but Mr. Carothers after making complete survey informed me that no repairs have been made. I received in this morning' s mail a letter from Mr. Henry Wilson, Maintenance Engineer of the State Road Department located at Miami, advising that Mr. Carothers had admitted that no repairs were necessa ry. BISCAYNE KENNEL CLUB. The Biscayne Kennel Club has requested permission to erect a large billboard at the intersection of Sixth Avenue and the Boulevard. I wish to call particular attention to the billboard ordinance (Read billboard ordinance) In this particular I also wish to call particular attention to the trouble which the Village has been having with the Broward County Kennel Club, which Club has stationed a man in a large touring car with a sign at this intersection. This man was chased away once by our police, but returned and upon orders of the Mayor and myself the man was arrested and the sign confiscated. The man was released on $50.00 bond, trial was set at which time the Village Judge, Village Manager, Prosecuting Officer and myself were present, but the defendant did not appear either in person or by counsel. Later the attorney for the Club called and asked if the $50.00 could be returned. IMPROVED PROPERTY: I wish to advise that pursuant to the letters which I wrote to improved property owners, I have succeeddd in getting a majority of the taxes for 1933-34 and in some instances the 1932-33 tax es paid. STATE LAW: The state law with reference to the age of drivers of motor vehicles in the State of Florida is: Section 1290 Compiled General Laws of Florida, 1927: "No person shall operate or drive a motor vehicle who is under fourteen years of age, unless such person is accompanied by a duly licensed chauffeur or by the owner of the motor vehicle being operated." Respectfully submitted, Aft e for Miami Shores Ullage. Dated January 8th, 1935.
