Resolution 2508 oi
RESOLUTION NO. 2508
To the Chairman Rivers & Harbors Committee
WHEREAS, the normal development , commercial and
industrial of Miami, the natural gateway to South and
Central Americas by land, air and water, served by the
Port of Miami, is seriously hampered because of insuf-
ficient depth of water in the entrance channel and in
the harbor proper, thereby preventing vessels making
Miami a regular port of call; and
WHEREAS, the trade and commerce to be secured by
improving the harbor entrance and channel to a suffi-
cient depth to enable these vessels of deep draft to
include the Port of Miami in their regular schedule
will be of inestimable value to the economic develop-
ment of this area; and
WHEREAS, we are encouraged because of the rapid
growth of international contact following the great
development of aviation in this area to believe that
the Bay of Biscayne must become an important factor in
the scheme of national defense,
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUN-
CIL OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, That we do hereby respect-
fully petition the members of the Rivers and Harbors
Committee to accord to this area the fullest measure of
support and assistance in their efforts to remove the
existing disability to the end, that the Port of Miami
be made available to all vessels seeking to enter.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 6th day of January, A. D.
