Resolution 2486 RESOLUTION NO. 2486
WHEREAS, the City of Miami Beach, Florida,
has at present a wholly inadequate Post Office
building, which prevents the proper and satisfac-
tory handling, sorting anddelivery of mail, often
resulting in great delay and inconvenience to our
citizens , and,
WHEREAS, Post Office sales in our City last
year amounted to nearly $91,000.00, further attest-
' ing to the inadequacy of the present plant, and,
WHEREAS, we have grown from a town of a few
hundred to a City with a year round population of
over ten thousand and a winter season population
of approximately forty thousand without any improve-
ment in our postal facilities, and,
WHEREAS, it has come to our attention that af-
ter the completion of the Federal building in the
City of Miami, Florida, there will remain a balance
of approximately $350,000.00 from the appropriation
set aside for said purpose,
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, That
we do hereby urgently request that this balance
be appropriated toward the erection of a Federal
Post Office building of adequate proportions in the
City of Miami Beach, and,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That a copy of this
resolution be forwarded to Honorable Walter F. Brown,
Postmaster General of the United States, Honorable
Arch Coleman, First Assistant Postmaster General and
Honorable Ferry K. Heath, Assistant Secretary of the
United States Treasury Department , with the request
that they give immediate and serious consideration
to this petition, and that early relief be given our
citizens whom we think are very justly entitled to
the long needed improvement.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 20th day of October,
A. D. 1931.
