Resolution 3848 RESOLUTION 3848
A RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING THAT THE UN-
USED FUNDS OF THE ALL-FLORIDA COMMITTEE
BE MADE AVAILABLE TO THE EVERGLADES NA-
TIONAL PARK ASSOCIATION FOR THE PURPOSE
OF ASSISTING IN THE EVERGLADES NATIONAL
PROJECT.
WHEREAS, it has come to the attention of a group of
determined men and prominent citizens, known as the EVERGLADES
NATIONAL PARK ASSOCIATION, who are sponsoring a great project
for the advertisement of the State of Florida; and
WHEREAS, these men at a great personal sacrifice to
themselves succeeded in having legislation, both National and
State passed to assure for the people of Florida a great Na-
tional Park to be known as the EVERGLADES NATIONAL PARK; and
WHEREAS, certain funds in the approximate amount of
SEVENTY-FIVE HUNDRED ($7500.00) DOLLARS are on deposit in the
First National Bank of Miami, and that E. C. ROMFH, as Trustee
of the State fund, brought an Interpleader suit in Chancery
known as Case #46371-D, E. C. ROMFH vs. THE ALL-FLORIDA COM-
MITTEE, asking what disposition might be made of these funds
in as much as the Governor never appointed a Commission by rea-
son of the fact that the largest sum of money was donated by
the citizens of Coral Gables, Miami and Miami Beach and Judge
Barns in an Order appointed three trustees as follows, to dis-
pose of these funds, to-wit : E. B. FREELAND, representing Miami,
Florida, P. J. O' SHAUGHNESSY, representing the City of Coral
Gables and W. L. PHILBRICK, representing the City of Miami Beach,
who are trustees for the disposition of this fund.
BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF MIAMI BEACH:
That since the EVERGLADES NATIONAL PARK will bring
to Florida thousands of tourists who will spend their money in
I \
the State and since the Park will be adjacent to the Cities
mentioned herein and embrace land in close proximity to the
Counties in which these Cities lie, so that they will benefit
immeasurably-from the Park and since at personal sacrifice,
the Association has already achieved much in the way of ad-
vertising Florida, that the Council of the City of Miami Beach
hereby expresses its moral approval of the proposal that W.
L.• PHILBRICK, its representative on the ALL-FLORIDA COMMITTEE,
join with the other committeeman in turning over to the Ever-
glades National Park Association the funds in the hands of the
Committee and that these funds be used by said Association to
carry on its advertising work for and in behalf of the
State of Florida, provided the said Mr. Philbrick can satisfy
himself that it is lawful for him to recommend said funds for
such purposes.
