Mary C. Smith will erect a City Attorney Ordered to Draft Ordinance on Subject G. E. McCaskill, city attorney for Miami Beach, Wednesday was instructed to draft ordinances to regulate the reported unsanitary conditions of the Beach. Complaints reaching the city offices are that hotels, restaurants, apartments and houseboats are daily becoming more offensive regarding the proper disposal of refuse and garbage.

City Clerk C. W. Tomlinson reported to the council that the present building code of Miami Beach does not require builders to make provision for the storage of refuse cans, and that until the building ordinances are revised no constructive sanitation program can be instituted. Complaint was made particularly against eating houses on Fifth and those south of this thoroughfare. During the discussion relative to the complaint it developed that Miami Beach had a health officer, delegated from the police but that there was no organized or competent board to oversee the-sahitation of Beach business houses, hotels and residences.
