On motion made by Mr. McCaffrey, seconded by Mr. Frix, and unani-
mously carried, Minutes of Regular Meeting of February 179 1948 were approved
as written.
Three members of the Brockway Post of American Legion were present,
including Mr. James Noel, to obtain permission of the Council to use the
strip of land* temporarily* running along the north boundry of the Golf Course
which would give access to the American Legion proposed site* After dis-
cussion Mr. McCaffrey moved, seconded by Mr. Frix, that the American Legion
be given access along the north boundry of the present Village Golf Course
for the purpose of hauling materials to erect a building on the site previously
specified,. Councilman Parish questioned the motion and in voting INNo" re-
quested that the following be made part of the Minutest NI oppose that motion
because I believe it to be unbusinesslike; I believe it to be a motion which
by the very nature of its ambiguity could result in a permanent dight-of-way
being run along the north boundry of a considerable part of No. 1 Fairway.
I further believe that would be to the detriment of the Golf Course as a whole

Letter from Bessemer Properties, Incorporated, dated February 27:
1948 was read to the Council as follows:
"Confirming our telephone conversation of this morning, we would
-like to have your reaction in connection with the possibilities
of negotiating a month-to-month lease between Bessemer Properties,
Incorporated and the Miami Shores Village, on the property adjoin-
ing the Miami Shores Golf Club, which is now used as a practice
f airway.
"The terms of this lease to be $1.00 per year plus taxes•
-Kindly let us hear from you at your earliest convenience."
Mr. Frix moved that the Village Manager be directed to write Bessemer Properties
that the Council has accepted their offer. Motion was seconded by Mr.
McCaffrey and unanimously carried.
The appointment of Mr. John D. Hansell as Building Inspector was dis-
cussed and it was the feeling of the Council that he is qualified to pass
on electrical and plumbing inspections and in the event a situation arises where-
in the judgment of a technician is required, such judgment may be obtained.
Method employed by the Village Manager in the selection of a Building Inspector
was commended, and it was the feeling that the Building Inspector is responsible
to the Village Manager.
Advertising in the Forty-second Anniversary Souvenir Convention Book
of the National Federation of Post Office Clerk's Convention was brought before
the Council and it was the consensus of opinion the Village should not par-
ticipate.
Village Manager brought before the Council request of Mr. Roy Wilson
of Chicago for permission to fill in the rock pit fronting Miami Shores Public
School in the event of his purchase of this property. It was the feeling cf
