Last htghtA Programme,
The Council Committee on Health
met last evening and held . brief session
that while It was not a. lively "a some
Of the meetings held by this committee,
was nevertheless, quite interesting,
There were present Measrs, Terrell,
Rumble, Hadlich, Arkle and Pollock.
In the absence Of DR., Campbell, Mr..
FeFrell was called upon 70 act as chair
man. Keeper serig, Of the creuistory,

from other sources, load total, $40
loads, Besides this garbage there were
consumed SS2 barrels and boxes, 2
horses, . dogs, lsheep, | goat and 1889
barrels oil night soil.
This report having been received and
fled, the bills that were awaiting the
committees consideration were taken
up and the fun commenced, The first
two were for inspection service Charles
Welty had one in for seven days work
In August at 50 per day, and Harry
Chew had one for eleven days work,
the two amounting 70 $50. They were
endorsed by Health Officer Garrison "a
being correct. There was quite o dis
cusslon over these bills, some Of the
members being under the impression
that Or. Garrison had been ordered To
discontinue work OF this kind, for the
reason that the committee's funds were
getting low. No record OF any such or
der having been passed could be found,
however, and the bills were finally or.
dered paid, the votes being accompanied
with signs and grpnts Of disapproyal,
The next bill was one from DR., Garrison
OF SO for postage. The question was
asked as 10 how much he had been al
lowed for postage heretofore, but II
being learned that this was his first bill
OF this kind, 1t was graCiously allowed,
A bill OF Louis serig's Of $40 50 for labor
at the crematory during August was
approved,
'Thenext thing was a bill Of $sS from
the Wheeling Mining and Manufacture
ing Company for building cess pool for
Mrs, Olator, OF the Second ward. The
bill was made out in Mrs. Clator's name
and Endorsed as correct by Dr.. Garrison.
Mrs. Olator's case, II will be remem.
bered, was the cause OF very spirited
discussion In the committee at former
meeting. Shehad avery offensive vault
| 10 the rear Of her property, In the Sec
ond ward market square. II was q
nuisance and DR.. Garrison ordered that
she should abate II by constructing a
cess pool, She addressed q comnunica.
ton TO the committee on the matter, re.
citing that she was willing 70 build adry
vault OF heavy oak plank, but that she
did not feel able To pay orthe construct
ing Of such q vault as Dr., Garrison had
ordered; and further, that DR.. Garrison
had refused to allow her to build dry
vault. The Health Committee talked
over that communication for an hour
and finally, being unable TO agree among
themselves as to what sheuld be done,
referred the matter 10 Council. When
| II came up In that body, some one said
that o cess pool such as DR.. Garrison had
ordered was being built and no action
was taken, the case being dropped.
Itnow appears that the cess-pool was
being built under DR.. Garrison's direG-
tons, and that aiterit was constructed
he handed in the bill to the committee
with the intention OF having II placed in
the hands OF the CITY Sergeant, he to
collect from Mrs. Olator under certain
provision Of the ordinances,
Solicitor White arrived on the scene

ing Mrs. Clator's attorney from bringing
an or pensive Injunction suit against the
city;.that DIR. Garrison had SO located
the pool that Mrs. Clator was disposed
10 claim damages unless the city would
agree 10 move her coal sheds SO as 10
make her rear yard more accessible; In
case the city would do that she would
be willing to pay for the new pool. The
committee having heard this statement
proceeded 10 have an old time discus
sion, In the course Of which DR.. Garri-
son came In for q share Of criticism. II
was proposed that he be made to pay the
Ibill, and again that he be required To
collect It II he could and II not that he
make II good himself. The question
finally BECAME too heavy for the commit
tee and they decided TO refer 1t to Coun-
| Gil.
