The HEALTH OF THE CIrY-In the First Branch
Of the City Council last evening, M Bruscup OF
the Sixth ward, offered resolution instructng the
Committee on Heaith to whom was referred an or
dinance providing for the establishment of y saui
tary police, to report on Tuesday next. This drew
from Mr.. Nichols, Of the Twelfth ward chairman o.
the committee curt rejoiuder, and somewhat an
imated passage of words ensGed between the tive
gentlemen. Nj Nichols thought that the action O:
Mr.. PFus0up was calculated to unnecessarily alarm
the people and possibly produce cholera, and moved
the indefinite postponement of the resolution whic
was lost, whereupon he moved to postpone its fur
| ther consideration until the 4th of July.
Mr.. Brusoup replied that If such a motion was {,
be entertained here he would be compelled to NOV,
to reconsider the vote by which an ordinance was
passed prohibiting the erection of insane asy lums
within the city limits. lie contended that the peo
plewere camorOus for action on the part of tn
Council. Pending the discussion. Mr.. Nichols pre-
sented the report of the Health Committee upon tn
subject requesting to be discharged from its furtho
consideration. as it was deemed very expensive, anG
unnecessary in view of the efficient efforts Of thl
police authorities to enforce the health regulations
The resolution offered by Mr.. Bruscup was adopted
after an unsuccessful attempt to amend it so as It
