Board OF Health.
A BUGGY BILL DIsCUSSED-oNE WE

WORK OF THE HEALTH OFFICER.
The Board of Health met last night and
the treasurer submitted n bill of Mr.. Andrew
]. Joyce for the repair of a buggy belonging
TO the health officer, amounting to S94 81. He
explained that the pound.master had been
making use of this buggy. his own having
given out, and the health officers buggy was
the only vehicle which he could make use OF
in the execution of his duty.
DIR. VERDI OBJECTS.
DIR. Verdi was opposed To the payment of
the bill; they pay the health officer $3.50 per
annufn, much more than any other officer is
receiving, because he had to keep q buggy
for the use of his Office. First the Board OF
Health gave him $500 per annum and at
his solicitation increased 1t to 80 500. If his
buggy is worn out, let him replace it with
anOiher. The board has no right to pay this
/ bin. They might just as well assume to buy
horse for him or pay any other bill he
might chance to present.
The secretary moved its reference to the
finance committee, so that IL might be con-
sidered by them ali, and a report made In
writing, when ii would be in order to discuss
H. He entreat ted the mem bers not to discuss
II then; refer 1t TO the committee, and no
| dOcbt they can all agree on passing it with
out discussion.
Mr.. Marbury did not want to discuss it. He
could see no use, however, in referring it to
The finance committee. Other bills are passed
upon in the same way without any question
could not be.
The chair stated that he was prepared to
discuss 1t now. He was in favor of paying
I H.
Ger carriage and horses for the execution
of his official duties. He certainly was one
OF the most efficient officers connected with
the health board. In New York they fur
nish q carriage and pair of horses to their
health officer. which was no more than right
considering the amount Of duty required of
them. The bill was referred.
