In the meantime, Mr. Maley would contact the low bidder to see if an extension for signing the contract could be obtained.

Mr. Printup said he would see if the Bal Harbour Club was considering selling off any property. Mr. Maley showed the Council a sketch of a proposed uniform entrance sign for the hotels and apartments on the east side of Collins Avenue. It was the opinion of the Council that the sign as shown was too large. The Council decided to explore the pos- sibility of using a sign the same size as we now allow in the same location which would be uniform except for the style of let- tering and lighted from the inside. Mr. Maley was authorized to order a prototype sign. The Americana request for use of garage space for convention purposes was deferred until next month.
