Mr. Shepherd said That %hs Aissrro an frH,.
Guiick) VITO opposed the bill ON the ground OF
the dislcyalty Of Mr.. Daniel had informed hir,,
that he (Eir. O. was satisfied that the party
Tlo made the charges made them through
N; lice.
Gfr. n. =. Larner said that ne had supposed
th he had bTough. in evidence enough n
prove Mr.. Daniels disloya!ty, and if he had
thought that the board was not -atis fed with
it he could have piled up the evidence He
saw indications that the School Trustees were
Lot inclined 10 do their duty in the matter
Mr.. huH said If there was any doubt of he
trustees doing their duty he would change his
vote rather than to rest under the imputation
OF voting possibly for disloyal man, and he
would therefore vote "nay.'
Mr.. Ellis said the bill did Lot increase the
salary, but simply changed the mode of pay
ing it, He warmly protested against the inti-
nation OF the gentleman tMr. N. ID. Larner)
hat the Trustees would be lax in iuu airing
into the loyalty OF teachers selected by them.
Fir. M.Larner claimed that the music teachers
in other cities cid not receive as much pay

MIR. NJ Larner offered a resoluting directing
the committee on police 10 inquire into the ex-
Tediency OF AMENDING the laws in relation TO
licenses, with a view OF providing additional
revenue trcn that source; which was adopted
Mr. Noyes introduced the following bill:
BE it enacted de-, That from and after the
passage OF this bill. it shall be required of any
householder within the limits OF this corpora

BE it further enacted, That any party failing
TO comply with the provisions OF this act shall
be liable to fine of NOT less than twenty or
more than fifty dollars, one halt to go to the
informcr. .-
Belt farther enacted, That the physicians OF
the city are hereby requested 70 report to tha
police all cases of small pox existing in their
practice, and all new cases as they occur, en-
braeing the street and number OF house in
which said case or cases exist. under penalty OF
fire of not less than five or more than twenty
dollars in ea,h case of failure TO comply with
the provisions of this section.
Mr. Raub hoped the bill would N not pass. and
moved 10 lay it on the table. He said there
were many cases where person having the
small pox was kept in q room separated from
the rest OF the family, and no harm was done
the community. He believed that the small
pox was communicated in the air, and that
was DR.. Riley y's opinion. It would mt serve
any good purpose, he thought, to designate
houses where it existed. He proceeded to COM
lnent upon the hardship and danger to life in
drasgiIg small pox patients from their homes

Mr. Moves said the bill did ne. propose to
drag smallpox patients to the hospital, hut it
did propose to designate the localities where
II existed, SO that persons migat not go un-
swares right into Its midst. The gentleman
from the Second Ward had Inentioned in
