Mr. Fisher:
You will note from the attached clipping of to-day's Herald
that yesterday some woman from the Federal Women's Club
went before the Exchange Club of Miami with this howl they
are making wanting the advantage of free ocean bathing at
the expense of our development. .
Please note that some one in the Exchange Club had brains
enough to tie a string to the endorsement when they made it
"contingent upon the county having a legal contract upon
which it could base its claim that the road should be kept open.
The Women's Club had already received a complete endorsement • •
for their appeal from the Miami Chamber of Commerce, but this
was to be expected. I understand that they are to go before
the other civic clubs and I am arranging for some one in each
of these clubs to endeavor to get the Club to put the same`
proviso on their endorsement,if tny is given, that the Exchange •
Club put.
Such an endorsementsoworded would really be a help to us
instead of harmful.
