THE CHARTER BILL.
The more the proposed charter bill is dis
cuSsed the more it is 'cussed.n The oppOsi-
tion to the bill is increasing here the more SO
as the friends of the measure have used in
temperate language In advocating it. At
one time there was strong feeling in its
favor, but its friends in their zeal went too
far, and their rather ill-tempered and hot
utterances and speeches madeamany enc
mics and changed the opinions of scores.
1t will be bitterly fought over from now
on, and the prospects are that the oppo-
nents of the measure will come out first
best. The opponents of tie bill claim that
this is a selfish and underhand measure
projected and fathered by a very few
people.
CLOSE OF THE EXPOSITION.
The Sub-Tropical has closed, and that
part Of the city misses the activity aud
hustle that has characterized that section
for the last six weeks. When the idea of
opening this exp sltion was first broached
many people laughed at the plan, and little
encouragement was offered. But the direc-
tors went pluckily on, selected their director
general and secretary and started the
wheels The result has proved that they
were correct in their conclusions, as the ex-
position comes out clear Of debt, and with
a surplus. Many cha ges and additions
will be made his season, ami it is very
probable that IL will open next season in
December and last till May l.
THE HEALTH BOARDS RULES.
The state board of health to-day published
the rules and regulations adopted fer the
guidance OF city, town, county and other
officers as well as for the instruc ion Of in
dividuals. They fill nearly four columns.
They authorize the destruction of
infected property, enforce a house to
house inspection In cities and towns
once a month; compel the adoption of a
sewerage system in all municipalities of
10000 or more inhabitants and provide for
special monthly reports during May, June,
July, August, September and October. The
regulations for quarantine and disinfection
along the seaboard are all very strict, but
the money at present available is insufficient
to maintain the system thoroughly, and the
general government will be asked to help.
