70 the City Council Of New Orleans:
TO the petition. referred to me, of DR.. o
Anfoux, asking the city to contract Will
MN ior tne care and treatment Of the indi
gent smallpox patients, l beg leave to re
port fsvofably, with an exception a. Il
time, the privilege beidg for Four years IN
doctor.
The doctor has, for number Of years
maintained in our city hospitals for the ex
clusive treatment of smallpox patients
ana has acquired . ripe experience in treat
ing said disease. During most Of the time
ne has had under his care the INDECENT pa
tients of the city, andh has never failed te
give entire satisfaction.
Inc location Of his present hospital is cen
tral, and il approached by good roads, and
what is OF most importance in q sanitary
view, IL In m isolated position-its isolation
acting a. . safeguard against the spread Of
the disease.
In reporting in favor of contracting fol-
what may be deemed long period, I have
been impressed with the idea of removing
from the arena of discussion . disease, the
very mention Of whose name causes the
| least sensitive to shudder. have also been
impressed with desire to secure for those
thrown upon the bounty of tho city. humane
treatment; smallpox hospitals; from the
nature OF the disease therein treated, being
subject to less scrutiny than those for the
treatment Of other diseases. 1t il, there.
fore, to tho character Of those having the
smallpox hospital in charge that We must,
in measure, look for guarantee for the
Anfouxs past record may be fouuud tull
guarantee for the faithful discharge Of all
obligations he may assume.
would respectfully ask the passage Of
the accompanying resolution.
L. T. DELASSIZE, Administrator.
Reso!oed, That the Mayor be and he il
hereby authorized and directed to sign and
execute, ON behalf of the city. the neces.
sary contract before the City Notary. with
DR.. .. Anfoux, for the exclusive care and
treatment Of the INDECENT smallpox patients
SAID AnfOux to receive two dollars per day
Tor esch patient, the duration Of treatment
to average twenty-five days.
Mr.. Walton expressed doubt whether
contract Of this kind could be entered into
without advertising, as it involved con.
siderable amount. He suggested that the
time be reduced to one year, or at most
two.
Tho Mayor: II my opinion is asked I
-,
should be made unless put up at auction.
Mr.. Remick: 1t seems to me there is
some popularity about this contract which
does not apply to other matters. DR..
Anfoux has expended considerable money
in preparing to receive patients. and l be-
lieve it would hardly be justice to enforce
strict compliance with the advertising
clause in this particular.
Mr.. Walton remarked that if the Council
were to 60 back on DR.. Anfoux's antece-
dents, they would find that he had already
received very large sum-some forty or
fifty thousand dollars for the treatment of
smallpox patients.
The Mayor said there was one great diff
Guilty in putting a job of this kind up at
auction, and that was that the person pur.
chasing it must be a person competent to
attend to it.
Mr.. Shaw said the auctioneering system
was not always practicable. The charter
distinctly provided that only public works
Dr contracts for materials supplied should
20 put up at auction. which were things in
h cir nature subject to competition. Still |
1e would like to have little time to con-
slider this ordinance.
Mr.. Delassize asserting. the ordinance |
vas laid over for one week.
