if a portion of this land 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.
