 ms F. T. Sellers and C. F.:
 yancev I1ar the other two members or .ha M committee agreed with MT. New
 nsn sls that the ordinances should be
 ustn Osf"rcad or repealed. No member eit ss tbe council interposed any ob- 7, ;a.t;on inn and MT. Newborn immed- % !etalv turned to Chief of Police clauobter and instructed him to see that no places of business were Ient open on Sunday except restau- rspts and cafes and that their busi- rass ~ he limited to the serving of nssls ,.s and lunches. Of course, drug oists are permitted to enter their stores for the purpose of filling inscriptions or selling medicine. Traffic conditions in Marianna were also discussed at length. The present traffic ordinance provides that cars must be parked at an angle of forty-five degrees with the right front wheel within at least IS inches of the curb. The chief of police was instructed to see that this section of the traffic ordinance was enforced. The mat ter of putting an age limit on those who shall be permitted to drive cars within the city limits was dis cussed. Some of the aldermen thought no boy or girl under six teen years of age should be allow ed to drive a car within the city limits and urged the passage of an amendment to the traffic ordinance containing this restriction. No ac- ton was taken on the matter, but at the next meeting of the council it is probable there will be some revisions in the traffic ordinance and the chances are an age limit will be placed on those who may drive cars.
 In calling the new council togeth- CT Mayor Norment read an address to the members outlining the gen. eral policies he expects to pursue and concluded with the announce ment of his committee assignments. The address follows:
