 lice go over. In committee it was evident that the salary would be increased to S2O0 per month from S150, as at present, but it was thought best to delay the matter until additional information could be gathered.
 Assessments on ordinances 366 372, 2l9 and 374 were made final and turned over to the collector. No one was present to l enter complaints. Alderman Cooper re- ported for the park committee, recom- mending that $S17 be paid to W. D. Cope land for improvements at Oak Hill cem- etery.
 l Petitions that the name of Florida street be changed to King street, and that an avenue formed at Twelfth and Charles street be called Florida avenue, was re- ferred to the street committee. Alderman J. R. Copeland introduced resolution. which was passed with many seconds. He sought to force all landlords and tenants to remove all combustible and unsightly material from the top and sides of buildings. such as trash. scaffolding and ladders, in the main part of the city. l He pointed out how lnsanitary the city appears from the upper stories of the 1 skyscrapers, and believed this view should be the best instead of the worst the city can afford.
