SrRGEoS's OFFICE
Metropolitan Police District
New Orleans, December %, 1871. !
l herewith send through you to the Coun-
Gil bill of medicines l was compelled to
order for the Parish Prison In the early
part OF this month made reHuisitiOn for
the same on the Administrator of Police
being then nearly out Of all the standard
medicines, after repeatedly appealing to
him that l had several cases sick and re-
quiring medicine. On the nineteenth in
slant he refused to send me supplies, and
remarked if the men were sick let them die,
and felt it duty to order the bill, and re-
specially ask the Administrators to sane
ton my act and pay the bill.
Respectfully, J. b. COOPER.
City Physician.
Mr.. Lewis said the statements of the gen.
tleman were simply not the fact. A reauisi-
ton had been brought to the Department
OF Police, and because he (Mr. Lewis did
not approve it right away Mr.. Cooper went
Oft and obtained the medicines where he
pleased. He Mr. Lewis, as the subject had
now been started, would call attention to
the supplies furnished to the Parish Prison
during the present year. They were greater
than had ever been known before He
asked that committee Of the whole be ap-
pointed to look into this matter. In previ- |
Dus cases, after bills had been approved by
him, articles other than those lie had ap-
proved had been purchased
Mr.. Shaw regarded the bill as reasona-
Die one
Mr.. Remick thought it would be much |
cheaper to pay it than discuss it.
Mr.. Walton seconded the motion for i'm
mediate payment.
A motion to refer to the Administrator of |
'olice was withdrawn on Mr.. Lewis stating
hat he would not approve the bill
Finally the bill was referred to the COM
nlttee OF the whole, with power
The item of Firemen's Charitable Asso-
iation, S. 900, was read twice and laid over.
The rest of the ordinance was passed.
A claim of P. & L. De Verges, $751; 80,
or hauling coal, was read twice and laid
yer.
