DR.. Austin reported thar the health ordinances
passed by the board had been laid before tile
Board Of Aldermen by Alderman Stith, on Tues
day evening, and that it had been made the order
Of the day for Tuesday evening next. Messrs.

would see the imperative necessity of passing the
ordinance when all the circumstances connected
with it we're understood.
There was some informal discussion on several
subjects already before the board, but no action
was taken on them, as they had remained without
