DIR. oPPENHIMEB RETAINED.
The most interesting fight of the evening
was over the presidency of the Board OF
Health. There were several aspirants, but
Drs. w. 7. Oppenhimer and Ben. Harri-
son. both talented young physicians and
now members of tho Board. were the candl-
dates between whom the contest really
was.
After some little talk 1t was decided to
proceed as in the regular election by hrst
selecting the three physicians TO compose
the Board and then choosing one as presl-
! dent.
For the place on the Board from Clay
and Monroe wards Mr.. j. w. White pro-
! posed DR.. Bon. Harrison and Mr. Hughes
named DR.. James /. Crane. The former
was chosen.
DIR. Oppenhmer WAS renominated from
Madison Ward over DIR. L. ;. Stratton, Tor
whom n strong fight was made, and from
! Marshall Ward DR.. Curd was renominated
| in preference to DR.. Garcin. tho vote be-
tween them--1s to 16-being the closest OF
the evening.
Now the issue was fairly joined between
/ DIR. Oppenhimer's friends and those of Dr..
/ Harrisons, and several very pretty eulo-
| gies were passed. The vote resulted: Op-
]
| penhimer, %; Harrison, 10; Curd, 2.
The assignment of justices was deferred

feated the selection of president was pro-
