Dear Mr. Fisher:-
nt the last meeting of the City Council at Miami
Beach, Mr. Hall of the County Board of Education, was present, and
stated in all probability they could include in their next bond issue, a school
house for Miami Beach, and could have it completed for the season of
1920 and 1921. They are considering a location near one of the city
parks, as this would probably be best, so that the children could have
the use of the city park for a play-ground.
•
They suggested, looking into the future, that two
schools would be needed and one should be located on the Lummus park, •
and one on our park, and they thought it would be wise to secure a
location at once, and hold it for the erection of the school buildings
when needed, as they could get the property much cheaper at this time
than they would be able to get it for in the future. Now, personally,
I feel that a school house is not a good thing in a residential
district, and yet it is necessary, and part of the equipment that goes
to make up a community.
Have you any suggestions to make as to a location
for this3 They thought perhaps it should have an entire block, where
ever they selected it.
You certainly left in the right time, the day following
the mosquitoes arrived in clouds.
• • Very truly yours,
