The fullest liberty to discuss this subject W as
what he insisted on. The committee had given
while the gentleman was travelling in Europe
and he now returns and vaguely intimates that
he has some plans 10 submit in a report which
he does not Ofer-to saw the least of it, IL is a
play.
Mr.. Marbury took exceptions to the language
used, he was 10 child as his gray beard would
show; the motion was not made for the purpose
OF gagging OFF debate at all. He wanted discus
sion and light, but was willing to hear any new
proposition which DR.. Verdi or any other Nom
Der might offer.
DIR. Cox.-"I propose to talk earnestly on this
matter as this whole effort looking to delay is
most extraordinary"
PROFESSOR LANGsToN ON THE FENCE.
Mr.. LangstOn said he was on the fence; he
had been on the fence all the time. Among so
many good things proposed he had after all
come to the conclusion that a good box system
was the best and most practicable they could
adopt. Any system which would supply her
metlcally sealed box which could be removed
by the scavengers was, in his opinion, the best
system for this city.
The vote was taken, and the motion to lay on
the table adopted.
DR.. Verdi called attention to a communica-
ton in yesterdays STAR, signed by H. ID, Beam,
on the subject of removing night soil, comment
ing on the action of the Board of Health. He
inquired If Mr.. Beam was an officer or employe
OF the board?
DON'T WANT TO BE AN ENPLoYE OF THE
BOARD.
Mr.. Beam, who has been temporarily acting
as clerk during Mr.. ID. s. Jones absence on
leave, replied tn at he was not an employee, nor
did he desire to be.
DIR. Verdi continuing, characterized such
interference on the part of any one under such
circumstances as indicate, to say the least of
il; that IL one employe were allowed to write
communications TO the press commenting on
the Official acts Of the board, all could do the
same.
Mr.. Langston defended Mr.. Beam, saying he
considered any one, whether an employe Of the
board or otherwise, had right TO his opinions,
and perfect right to express them
AS AN AMERICAN CITIZEN.
DIR. Verdi replied that II the allusion to Amer
lean citizens rights were intended for him, he
would inform the member that, although born
1000 miles away, he was as good an American
as any member OF the board; his restrictions
were not as TO rights, but to the intelicate and
obtrusiye interference of an employe Of the
board The gentleman stood. to all intents and
purposes, In the light Of an officer or employe.

DIR. Cox expressed his unqualified astonish-
ment that any member should attempt 10 repri-
mand the author OF the communication referred
to. He complimented the author as a clear
headed gentleman.

no such decision has been arrived at and none
