On motion of CommissionerWarren and seconded by Commissioner Tal-
bot, the Council ~nanimously approved the }Linutes for the meeting of
June 2$rd, 1958.
City Nsnager W. E. Lawson reminded the Council of Er. Robert V.
Cameron's resignation from the Pa.l? Beach County Resources Development
Board, accepted at the last Counczl meeting, further advising the Co~u~
oil that Section 20-~ of the City Code provides, in part, that members
of the Planning Board shall hold no other public office or position
under the City Government except as a member of the Zoning Board, in
view of which, and by virtue thereof, the Council unanimously approved
the appointment of Mr. Robert Totterdale, Lake Drive, Delray Beach,
to said Palm Beach County Resources Development Board on motion of
Commissioner Talbot, seconded by CommissionerWarren, to serve thereon
until a successor is appointed.
The City Na~ager reviewed hi~ "Report" of July ~th, 1988, concern-
ing Dog Control Measures and advised the Council of doubtless added
man-power and possibly a panel truck necessary to function suitable
control measures. Copy of 'Report' attached hereto.(Pages 124-A & 12~-B)
On motion of Commissioner Talbot and seconded by Commissioner
Warren, the Council unanimously approved consideration of "Do~ Control
Neasures" and requested City N~na~r Lawson to prepare the proper
Ordinance, with the aid of the City Attorney, to provide for such con-
trol measures and, further, to submit such information as he deems
necessary to reflect personnel cost te enforce such ordinance, and that
said ordinance and supporting data be presented to the Council at such

p~esent.
Nr. Charles Senior, District Nanager for Florida Power & Light Co~,
submitted a sketch showing a proposed route for an additional Power
Line to connect the sub-station at Boca Raton with the plant in Delray
Beach. This proposed route has been checked over and City Nanager
Lawson, together with ~r. Fleming, Director of Public Works, deem the
route most satisfactory, and the Council, on motion of Commissioner
War~en, seconded by Commissioner Talbot, unanimously approved such
routing of an additional power line by the Florida Power & Light Co.,
as shown on the plans presented by~r. Senior.
Nr. Senior further informed the Council that additional lights
would be installed on S.E. 2nd Avenue, in the General Commercial Dis-
trict, long desired, during the present week and regretted that
normal circumstances had delayed such'installations.
The City Manager submitted a letter from "Aerial Survey~ Inc.,"
directed to Nr. P. C. Knowles, of the Planning Board, wherein certain
aerial photos for the City of Delray Beach were proposed to be fur-
nished for the sum of $1,690o00, payable upon completion and ~ccopt-
anco thereof. The Nanager further advised the Council that in addition
to the Planning Board's desire for such Naps, he felt that such photo-
graphs would be of assistance to the Public Works and Tax Dep~rtments
ue to the valuable and detailed information appearing thereon.
On motion of 9om~ssioner Talbot and seconded by Commissioner
Warren, the Counczl unanimously agreed on the need for such Naps and
requested the City Nanager to provide for such necessary funds, to pro-
cure said Aerial Surveys, in the coming Budget for 1958-1989.
City Manager Lawson submitted and read the following letter re-
ceived from the Honorable Emmett S. Roberts of the Palm Beach County
Resources Development Board:
July 9th, 1958.
· I am writing to acquain.t .yo.u with a recent development on a
national picture of the possibility of raising Kenaf, a soft fiber,
in Florida. Ken. al is a fast growi.ng plant which is an acceptable
subs.titute for ~ute, particularly ~n the manufacture of burlap,
sacking, rope, twine and carpet backing. Kenaf is not new and has
been used in Asia and Africa for several hundred years.
Next to cotton, jute is the world's most valuable fiber and is
of strategic value to practically all countries of the world. Kenaf
has been and is being grown in this country primarily for experi-
mental purposes..
attached.rep.roduction very explicitly describes the impor-
The
tance of the posslbil~ties of Kenaf, whereby the Commission on
Increased Industrial Use of Agricultural Products suggests this crop
particularly, as it grows so well throughout the cotton states Kenaf
will grow almost anywhere in Florida, and was successfully grown in
large acreage on experimental Government program in 1951.
The present world supply of jute is primarily concentrated in
Pakistan, a rather remote corner of the earth. From a national
de.fe.nse picture in case of war, much att.ention is b. eing given to
raising Kenaf in this country as a substitute for jute.
It is most important that Congress make funds available now for
addition.al research to stimulate the growSng of K.enaf in t.his coun-
try. Th~s crop could further help diversify Florida's agricultural
economy and give to many small farmers additional cash returns on
marginal land.
· In order to get this program started, we woul.d appr.eciate your
writing Senator S?essard Holland of your interest ~ seeing that
funds be made available for research to develop the growing of Kenaf
in this country.
If we do not take advantage and do something now, Cuba and
other South American countries will move in and take over the market.
Users of jute in this country have already indicated a willingness
to begin taking a certain amount of Kenaf in place of jute.
A letter or telegram 'to Senator Holland expressing your interest
is needed now. May we count on you.
Sincerely yours,
Emmett S. Roberts

, The City Manager then read Resolution No. llS2:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, APPROVING A THREE TO FIVE YEAR FACT
FINDING PROGRAm[ BE INSTITUTED TO STUDY ALL PHASES OF
KENAF FIBER AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR JUTE.
WHEREAS, the Nation's supply of Jute has been threatened at its
source by disturbances in several Middle Eastern countries, and
WHEREAS, the National Defense will be served through development
of a satisfactory supply of this fiber or substitute therefore within
the United States, aha
~dEREAS, Kenaf fiber has proven fully satisfactory and sometimes
superior as a substitute for Jute as testified by the Corps of Engi-
neers and the Post Office Department, and
~tEREAS, it has been demonstrated that Kenaf can be grown in prac-
tically every state in the United States and particularly in Florida,
where progress has been ma de in the improvement of Kenaf varieties,
~ERE~S,~ Kenaf may be grown under average or difficult soil condi-
tions, and vast acreages of abandoned or unused land may be employed;
use of seasonal farm labor may be stabilized, and the crop offers a
potential for approximately one half the agricultural states of the
United States, and
V~EREAS, the Soft Fiber Industry has indicated that 20 percent of
its continuing annual requirements may be allocated to Kenaf as a sub-
stitute for Jute, and
V~EREAS, it is in the National interest that a three to five year°
fact finding program be instituted to study all phases of the problem,
including seed supply, cultural practices, development of a more effi-
cient harvester-ribboner, improvement of equipment for washing retted
fiber, an~ increasing domestic fiber supply for adeqUate mill testing.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that Senator Spessard Holland, Sen-
ator George Smathers, Representative Paul G. Rogers together with
other Florida Representatives in Congress, together with all other
~{embers of Congress concerned, be requested to obtain an allocation of
funds in the supplemental budget of the Department of Agriculture, for

REPORT
July 9, 1958
To: The ttonorable City Council
From: City Manager
DOG CONTROL MEASURES
This report is the result of numerous complaints about dogs
and your subsequent request for me to investigate dog control
measures. First, let us examine existing regulations as set forth
in the City Code. Brief descriptions of the appropriate sections
are as follows:
Section 5-4: No dog is allowed in public streetS, thorough-
fares, etc. unless he is properly licensed and has an unexpired
dog tag ~ttached to his collar or harness. Each tag costs one
dollar ($1.00) and is valid until June 1st each year.
Section 5-5: No license.is issued unless the dog has been
properly innoculated against rabies within the past twelve months.
Section 5-6: Dogs are prohibited from public buildings in
the city. None are permitted in any place of business except
with permission of the owner or manager of the building.
Section 5-7: No dogs are allowed on the municipal beach of
the city.
Section 5-8: All vicious dogs must be adequately muzzled if
they appear in public streets, etc. This section also defines
vicious dogs.
Section 5-9: i~henever any person is bitten by a dog, that
person or the dog,s owner, if he knows of the biting, must report
the incident to the police or health department within 24 hours.
Section 5-10: A dog reported to have bitten a person must be
quarantined for the time designated by the county health officer.
Any dog suspected of being rabid shall be released to the health
department for laboratory analysis.
Section 5-11: Dogs found on the public streets in violation
of these sections shall be impounded by the police department for
five days. The owner may reclaim the dog within this time by
paying a fee of 50~ per day for each day the animal is impounded.
In addition, the dog must have a valid license tag and rabies
innoculation before it is released. After five days, unclaimed
animals are disposed of by sale, by turning over to the Animal
Rescue League or by having them killed.
Section 5-12: Barking, whining or howling dogs are prohib-
ited from being kept if they cause serious annoyance to neighbors.
Section 5-13: When three or more persons (living in separate
households within 300 feet of the place where barking, whining or
howling dogs are kept) submit a written complaint under oath, the
Chief of Police notifies the keeper of the dog th~.t it is a nui-
sance, and that the nuisance must be abated within l0 days. If
the nuisance is not abated within l0 days, the Chief of Police
makes an affidavit against the keeper of the dog and issues a
warrant for his arrest.
Section 5-14: Female dogs in heat must be kept on the pre-
mises of the owner or 6ustodi~u unless under control and attached
to a leash.
Section 5-15: It is unlawful for' any person in charge of a
dog to permit the dog to stray on another person,s property and
damage the property. Proof of the damage and identity of the dog
are sufficient to conviCt the person having charge of the dog of
violating this section.
The controversy over dogs has been directed specifically at
the control of dogs by the owner. Practically every complaint
has been that dogs running at large defile yards, gardens and the
grass strip at the beach. Since most of the complaints involve
dogs runnir~ at large, we shall consider the subject in some de-
tail. There are four basic objections which may arise from per-
mitting dogs to run at large:
1.Dogs may physically damage gardens and flowers by
trampling on them.
2. Dogs may commit nuisances on lawns, patios, side-
walks and other open spaces.
3. Dogs may bite and injure persons.
4. Dogs may chase cars and dart through traffic, re-
sulting in injury and death to dogs and a potential
cause for traffic accidents.
When dogs run free on developed private and public property,
they cause a certain degree of damage, nuisance or inconvenience
to persons and their property. By confining their activities to
these open spaces, the dogs despoil the areas. This results in an
immediate and direct conflict between the dogs and property owners
and tenants who maintain attractive lawns. Similar complaints
arise because children use the same sidewalks and yard areas for
play space. %~aile dogs and children are notable companions and
friends, some children (and adults) are bitten by dogs as they
carry on their daily activities. Since June 1956., there have been
27 cases of dogs biting persons reported to the Police Department.
We can assume that there have been additional dog biting incidents
which were not reported.
The final area of conflict involves dogs and traffic. Some
dogs heedlessly run and play in the streets, dart through traffic
and chase automobileS. Results are dogs injured, maimed or
killed by autos as well as the possible traffic hazard and acci-
dents arising from driver reaction to the dogs.
In general, there are two types of ordinances in use for
control of dogs. One type covers the points enumerated in our
existing ordinance. The other also contains these sections with
the additional proviso requiring dogs to be on a leash or in an
automobile when off their owners, property. No central agency
appears to have statistics showing the number of cities which
have adopted a leash law; however, a few are as follows: New York,
Chicago, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Detroit, Cleveland, St. Louis,
District of Columbia, Pittsburgh, Milwaukee, Houston, New Orleans,
Newark, Denver, Dallas, Louisville, Atlanta, Long Beach and
Seattle. Ail of these are large cities. (It is interesting to
note that the controversial question of a leash law was referred
to the voters in Seattle. The referendum was carried by 77,012
in favor to 62,462 opposed.) According to Florida. League of
Municipalities, records, Hialeah and Lake Park are two Florida
municipalities with laws prohibiting dogs from running at large.
There may be others, of course, which have not reported the fact
to the League.
If a leash law were put into effect, a stepped-up enforcement
program would be required. To enforce the law properly it would
be necessary to hire at least one full-time man. The present
vehicle might suffice, however, the present part-time man and the
new full-time one could do a more thorough Job of picking up stray
animals with two trucks. In addition it would be necessary to
expand the pound facilities, and there would be a slight increase
in administrative costs.
The scope of investigation behind this report leads me to
believe that only two major alternatives can be used. One would
be to retain in essence, our present regulations regarding the
control of dogs. The other alternative would be the adoption of
some form of the leash law. There appears to be no workable solu-
tion to the control problem between these two methods.
