ditionaI compensation as is pro-
vided by law.

sections of ordinance 317, cover
ing the sale of beverages contain
ing more than one per centum of
alcohol, was passed on its first

having license for lighter bev-
erages to dispense other beverages
of a greater alcoholic content,
with a penalty fixed for the vio-
lation of the provisions of the
act.
A letter was read from Mrs.
Fred Page requesting that the
council allow her some money on
the account in which she had eX-
tended credit to some city en-
ployes in furnishing them with
groceries. The matter was de-
ferred until later date.
Adopt Resolution
A resolution was adopted to the
effect "that the city tax collec-
tor be and is hereby authorized
and directed to exempt from tax
alton only such homestead prop
critics as may appear to be en-
titled to such exemption under
the law by affidavit of the prop
erty owner now or hereafter on

Monroe and the state of Flor
ida" +'tHH '

son as a member of the police
force to fill the vacancy created

firmed.
The report of Chief of Police
Ivan Elwood was read showing
that 1884 had been collected in
fines during the month of

tional mattresses for the city jail

Jail committee was instructed to
look into the matter OF purchas-
ing mattresses as were shown to
be badly needed.

the city patrol wagon which was
now being placed in proper shape
would soon be ready for use by
the police department.
A bill was submitted by Tax
Collector Sam Pinder for commits
sions due him in the collection of
