a petition from the school board
for the abatement of certain nu-

The matter was referred to the
police committee and the cooper

the desired reform.
The citizens on West Pine and
Palm street petitioned the coun-
ell to have the streets graded and
worked. It was agreed that the
work on West Pine should be
done as early as the street force
. could get to itafter finishing 9TH

grading of Palm street be looked

change in the schedule of the
Atlantic & Birmingham train so
as to connect with the fast mail
train on the Central at Montezu-
ma, which would give us our
northern and eastern mail prac-
tically day earlier than at pres

views with Supt. Hall of the Cen
trial and Supt. Alex Bonnyman
of the Atlantic & Birmingham
to whom we explained the great
advantage to the people along
the line of the Atlantic & Birm-
ingham in receiving the eastern
mail, and especially the morning
papers, early in the morning in
stead of the late afternoon. At
the time of our interview Mr..

The fire department., through

the purchase and establishment
