Inc. Mr. Nudelman appeared before the Council with the request that the
11 permits that had been previously granted to the Surf Cab Company and
then canceled and the 12 permits that had been granted to the North Beach
Yellow Cab Company and then canceled, now be granted the Morse Taxi and
Baggage Transfer, Inc. After discussion Mr. Broeman moved to accept the

cation of the North Beach Yellow Cab Company for 12 permits, seconded

The Village Manager made a complete report regarding the ex—
tension of the highway abutting Tracts C — D — E of the Oceanfront
Addition to Bal Harbour to the Harbour House. He explained that after
the bids had been accepted and the abutting property owners had agreed
to pay two—thirds of the cost of the improvements, he was advised by
copy of a letter from Mr. Clarence E. Davidson, District Engineer,
Florida State Road Department to Mr. E. A. Anderson, Director, Public
Works Department, Metropolitan Dade County, that the project did not
meet specifications and the road should be built as a primary road. The
Village Manager conferred with Mr. John A. Monahan of the Florida State
Road Department in Ft. Lauderdale and it was agreed that if Dade County
would assume maintenance of the road it could be built as originally
designed. Thereupon on motion of Mr. Hart, seconded by Mr. Faulkner
and unanimously voted, the Council voted to adopt Resolution No. 92 in
which pal Harbour Village would relieve Dade County from the responsi—
bility of maintaining the road. Mr. McNayr, County Manager, agreed to
initiate a resolution to be given to the State Road Department whereby
the Dade County Commission will assume responsibility of maintaining
the access road providing we relieve them of that responsibility, which
is done in Resolution No. 92. Mr. Webb said in his opinion it was to
the best interest of the Village and the inhabitants that the matter
be done in this fashion.
