consideration letter received several months previously from
Town of North Miami, fixing jail rent at $600 per annum, plus
50 cents per meal per prisoner. Mr Parish thereupon moved that

from Mrs Margaret Miller, suggesting that she contact the Village
Attorney with respect thereto.
With further reference to Resolution of October 9, 1946
received from William N Brockway Post #124, American Legion,
pertaining to Legion Home site, the Village Manager requested
Council opinion concerning language therein which would seem to
require- the Council to provide a street or driveway to the
Legion Home. The Council then extensively discussed this
problem, as result of which it was decided that the Village
Manager will proceed with preparation of notice to all Village
freeholders of Public Hearing to be held in January 1947 for
consideration of the proposed Legion site, at which Legion
representatives will join in presenting the matter to the public.
Should the sense of the hearing be to approve the proposed site,
the matter of procedure, and expense, of acquiring any additional
property required for roadway to the Home will also be submitted
for consideration by those present. The Village Manager was
requested to convey to the Post Commander the desire of the

Mr Kilburn then presented for consideration by the Council
the matter of salary paid to the Village Attorney, which he
suggested be reviewed since Council meetings will now regularly
be held twice a month. Thereupon motion was made by Mr Parish,
seconded by Mr Kilburn, and carried unanimously, that salary of
the Village Attorney be fixed at $200 per month retroactive to
December 1, 1946.
The following matters were also presented for discussion by
Council members as problems which will require action in the
future:

be placed on NE 2nd Avenue, at 92nd, 93rd, and 94th
