TO the Board OF Commissioners OF Stark

subject. a knowledge OF the expense
heretofore incurred In the care aud
treatment Of smallpox patients, TO
gether with the destruction Of clothing
and furniture incident thereto, and the
cost OF keeping up guards, all OF which
Ia imposed upon the county, should con
vince you that II would be q measure OF

dalton Of this class OF cases.
The advantage In having II thus 10.

In behalf OF City Council.
Canton, o., July IL, 1884,
The matter was discussed by the par
ties, and upon examination OF the law
bearing upon the subject II was decided
that there was no authority given the
Commissioners, either TO provide for
contagious and infectious diseases, or
appropriate land for the erection Of u
pest house; this power resting only
with the city aud township authorities,
In view OF our increasing population
and railway facilities, II IN high time
provision be made for the care and
treatment OF the poor 40 unfortunate aa
to be taken down with an infectious
disease.
What tenable objection there can be
TO the location OF a pest house on the
poor house farm, more than nj any other
place ~ distant from the city, and as
Isolated from any residence, we are NJ q
loss 10 know. That the city will be com.
PEELED TO provide pest house Is az Ger.
tain AZ that smallpox continues TO pre-.
vail, speople neglect vaccination, and
that human beings llye'wh0 have not
the means to provide for themselves In
sickness.
The committee reported their action
aud the result TO the Council. The mat
ter was referred to the Board Of Health
who have ample power under the stat.
utes to provide for any contingency Of
the kind that may occur.
