 VERY BRIEF SESSION
Alderman Chesnutt Objects to Barrel Signs in Front of Main
 Street Saloon.

At meeting of the city council, session characterized by tbriefness and little oratory, was held last night Alderman Chestnut asked for the en- forcement of the anti-sign ordinance and his motion to have some barrel signs in front of the Owl Saloon on Main street removed, carried. He also urged the building of concrete walks on Main street, between Fifth and Sixth avenues, and on Third avenue, from Georgia street East to the ravine. The Board of Public Af- fairs was urged oto advertise for bids for the walks and assess the cost against the property owners. A petition was received from the City Beautiful Club asking that the streets and gutters in the downtown district be cleaned and that the garbage, side walk and anti-frame building ordin- arces be enforced. Alderman Walff requested that the ladies be told that the council approves their sugses- tions and that tho council is working
 to that end. Alderman Hutt moved I that the ordinances referred to be
 enforced and the motion carried. The annual reports of Paving District No. IF and Sewer District No. were fill ed and referred to the finance com

Is to be made of any papers or ser- vices rendered. This action is being taken by the county officilas because of the great amount of trouble and losses that have resulted from the old system of conducting credit depart ment."
 Under the salary system now in vogue for county oicers here, the law requires the county officers to ac- count and pay all fees whether col lected or not. In recent years the county officers have sustained losses being unable to collect fees due from some lawyers and from individuals.
 The salary system also reduces the office force in the offices of the va rious county officials and they find ii troublesome and unsatisfactory to have books of accounts and to make out bills each month.
