A photostat of a 1947-48 City of Miami Beach license issued to the S. & G. Investment Co. for "investments," put in the record by City Councilman Melvin J. Richard on July 13, 1950.

Exhibit No. 121 is printed at page 753 of Part 1. Melvin J. Richard, a city councilman of Miami Beach, testified on July 13, 1950 that the "S. & G. Syndicate," after local newspapers reported in 1949 that it had offices but no license, "went down and took out a license or licenses, and these are photostatic copies of city licenses." He described the 1947-48 license as issued to the S. & G. Investment Co., with the business given as investments. The chairman had the photostats of the 1947-48, 1948-49 and 1949-50 licenses marked Exhibits 121, 122 and 123 (printed page 224).

The photostat shows a printed form headed "State of Florida, County of Dade, City of Miami Beach," "City License 1947-1948," with handwritten entries for S. & G. Investment and the occupation "Investments," and the signature line of the city clerk and collector. Exhibit 122, the 1948-49 license, is printed below it on the same page and is not reproduced here.

This is a hearing exhibit. A license shows that a business was licensed; it is not a finding about what the business did. The names on it are not copied to any family page or person page.
