grave danger OF school children catching tho
pmall-pox from tho adj jncent lIosptnl.
AID. Clarke, OF the Fifth, wlo Ind signed the

Was against the law to admit smallpox patients
10 hospitals located in the CITY. lie knew That II
This 81 to wcro voted down, another site, still

AID. Clark, Of tho Tonth presented propo-
sition from a. G. M!llard. to sell lot 2t3Il25

tiHon Streets for $40 por front foot.

Aid. Case Baid TINT tho proximity OF the Hos
pital bad been carefully considered by tho Board
of Educatfon and that the scl1ool-buflding would

not yet learned TINT any ono in the Thirteenth
Ward waa opposed to the location OF t4o school
1t that poiut.
AID. iltldreth said Tho reason the Thirteenth
because their constituents knew them to be COM
mittod to tlc sc'lome, and therefore looked for |
:odresn to Aldermen from other wards:
AID. Cullertoh was On land with still another
proposition to sell lot 22G foot Oh York street
BY 160 feet on Wood stroet aud Hermitage av-
enue. 1lo favored the reference Of tho mater |
back to tho Committee on sGhools,
:h6 peoplo OF the TAirtnenth Ward had to 20 10 |
Aldermen from the Eighth to get redress. II It |
weIo true that there waB gront danger from !
postilenco. tue whole city would rse up and |
forbid tho location Of hospital in their midst. |
This argument would do for 11ottentots, but mol |
Tor intelligent people.

that tho Hospital would be located duo south
weat Of tho school site and lo anticipated much
mischief from the prevailing southwest winds,
TAiH aione Was enough to dunn tho proposition.
Aid. Coay thought thar0 WAS room enough in |
tho Thirteenth Ward. to get out Of reach Of tho |
Aid. schaGnor gayo tho bcst reason Of all
