A proposed resolution was read concerning the purchase of Block 107.
The Village Manager explained that in examining the abstract, our attorney
discovered that a strip of this land is owned by the Florida East Coast Rail-
road which resulted in the price being reduced to $21, 750.00. Upon motion

the rear property line by Mr. Robert Willis, 149 N. E. 104th Street,
Lots 21, and the west 1/2 of 22, Block 121, M.S. Subdivision. Mr. Reynolds

The Village Manager reported on the court order concerning the
enforcement of the Metropolitan traffic laws. He stated that we are now
operating under the Dade County Traffic ordinance and that cases will be
tried in the Metropolitan Court which will be held once a week before a
Metropolitan Judge; arrangements are being made for the use of the Council
room for a local Metro court room.
In regard to the condemnation suit for a dam on the golf course,
the Village Manager reported that the final hearing had been held last Friday;
that we had argued that the dam could be moved northwesterly and that it
could be deepened instead of widened, but the actual point of law, Mr. McCall
continued, is whether or not a governmental agency can condemn property
already owned by a governmental agency.
Mr. A. J. Troy of 10516 N. E. 4th Avenue, appealed to the Council
for some relief from the zoning regulation requiring all commercial trucks
to be housed in a garage, for violation of which he had received a summons.
The Chief reported that all summons issued for this violation had been held
in abeyance pending further instruction. The Council decided that these
regulations would be reviewed.
A discussion then followed concerning enforcement of the dog
ordinance. Mr. Claussen moved that we instruct our Police Dept. to make
