REMOVAL OF SMALLPOX PATIENTS.
A discussion arose on the subject of the
removal of the persons infected with the
smallpox to, the Infrmary hospital. The
discussion eliminated in the fact that Mr..
Peckham, Inspector OF the Second District,
had expressed himself as opposed to the
action of the Board in regard to the re-
Inoval of those persons, and had refused to
cooperate in carrying out the order of the
Board for their removal. tGH aUtBG
DR.. Gay smoved that if Mr.. Peckham
still thinks the ordcrof the Board for the
removal Of the persons referred to above,
wrong and ought not to be executed, he
be dismissed from the service of the Board.
Mr.. Peckham explained by saying that
his remarks in relation to the resolution or
order of the Board, had reference, not to
the persons directed to be removed, but to
the removal of members of his own family,
In case they were diseased with small pox,
whom he would not permit to be removed.
He would not use violence or force in exc
cutting the orders of the Board for the re-
moval Of persons to the pest house, but
would execute such orders II he could do
it without resorting to force.
A resolution for the Dismissal of Mr..
Peckham, Inspector of the Second District,
was adopted by the following vote:
YEAs-Messrs. Gay, Field, St. Clair and
Thompson-4. -O2Il
NAYs-Messrs. Boyle, Dalton and Pol
lard-3.
DR.. Boyle moved that tMr.f Foos, Inspec-,
tor of the First District, be removed for
disobedience of orders.
The discussion that ensued involved the
fact that disobedience referred to in the
above motion, consisted in the allegation
that Mr. -Foos had not acted efficiently in
out the order directed to him for
the removal Of the smallpox patients to
the Infrmary hospital.
After considerable discussion, the motion
Of DR.. Boyle for the removal Of Mr.. Foos,
was put, and lost, all the membersof the
Board present except DR.. Boyle, voting in
The negative. So
