CHANCE SITE OF
DAVIS MONUMENT
Mr.. Branch Offers to Bear Ex-
pense of Moving It to the
Boulevard.
INCREASE OF SALARIES
Judges of City Courts May Get
More Money-Other Matters
Before Committees.

AT a meeting OF the Council Committee
on Streets at @ clock yesterday after
noon. and continuing from that hour until
about :, a resolution was offered provid-
ine for change ia the location OF the
partially completed jefferson Davis mouu-
ment from its present site al the inter
section OF Monument Avenue or Franklin
Street extended. and Cedar Street west
ward 10 the intersection OF Monument
Avenue and the Boulevard The PROPOSE
uon was IN the form of "a joint resolu-
ton stating that the change was desired
by the Monument Association and that
Mr.. John p Branch agreed TO personally
bear the expense of the removal and
transfer of the monument from It's pres
ent site 70 the one proposed. After con-
siderable discussion of the matter. action
thereon was deferred until the next meet
ing OF the committee
The proposition was presented bv Mr.
Joseph Bryan and MI A. Beirne Blair
a former members of the Board of Alder
men. who has been active and successful
in the effort 10 have Franklin street west
OF Allison Street enlarged % Il uniform
width of ln feet. This action has been
agreed upon practically. AIr. Bryan was
the spokesman for the advocates OF the
change, and informed the committee thar
the proposition was agreeable 20 the
Monument Association.
ono OF the chief reasons for the pro-
posed removal is that the monument. as
located at present woGld block the broad
avenue now assured. and would interruDt
the vista extending from Richmond COL
lege TO tha Boulevard. The fact that Nr
Branch volunteers TO bear personally toe
expense incident tn the change OF site
does much 20 commend the propositian.
and it's location at the western extremity
OF the splendid avenue would greatly im-
prove that thoroughfare.
The removal of the partially completed
monument 60 the proposed site wouti me-
cessariy be accompanied by somc delay.
but not sufficient 10 materially defer tho
completion or tho memorial
The matter came as "a surprise Orb The
committee generally ana to tho Council
ana the members desired to ascertain
