The Union, in its feeble efforts to sup
port its protege, the board of health,

! no compensation whatever; are not in th
employ of the city, aud their services ar
; purely voluntary. All this is too silly t
merit notice, and, after reading the follow
, ing extract from the ordinance creatiD
this board, oovenent is superfiuous.
'The members of the board OF healt
!, shall receive two dollars ($2l per day fc
: each days actual service, but no membe
it Of said board shall receive greater com
e pensation than S25 in one year, etc,
