He said that if they did this the only space available would be the twenty-five foot at the end of 96th Street, which the surfers now use and occasionally disturb the guests at the hotels.

Mr. Webb read a letter from Congressman Pepper regarding help in studying the crime situation in the District. It was the opinion of the Council that inasmuch as Councilman Beatty was a member of the Dade County Crime Commission he would be able to assist Congressman Pepper. Mr. Webb mentioned that as soon as the State Road Depart- ment has completed the Collins Avenue drainage he would like to be able to widen the present sidewalk on the east side of Collins Avenue.
