The board of corrections and charities
is 30. K" and the hopes entertained by
members of the health aud hospitals
committee that the law would not hold
have been forever blasted by City At
torney Russell, who reported to the
council last night that he had found the
act perfectly constitutional and legal.
The committee on health and hospitals,
however, refuses 10 60 into seclusion,
and has revived the old garbage and
night soil question. which promises it
occupation for some time to come.
Another CrematOry.
Aid. Schwartz, under suspension of
the rules, submitted a resolution pro-
viding for the abandonment of all pro-
ceedings in the matter Of the location of
a garbage dump OH the river bank, at
Riverside avenue and TWenty-fOurth
street, and providing that the 5000
formerly appropriated for the erection
of building and chute for the DISPOSE
ton of the refuse matter sbe applied to
the erection Of a crematOry on the
workhouse grounds. The resolution
went TO the committee on health and
hospitals, who returned favorable re-
port at once. A motion to adopt the
report was made. Aid. Rand and
BraZie at once got up on their
hind legs. Aid Rand objected, calling
attention to the unsatisfactory result Of
the last attempt at crematory i'll this
city. Aid. Rand explained that it was
only proposed TO destroy the garbage by
cremation, and that the plan of the COM
mittee contemplated the removal Of the
night soil to a point outside the city
limits. The matter was thoroughly dis
cussed. and Aid. Rand made use of
every possible parliamentary maneuvre
to amend the report or secure
the adoption OF substitute
but the measure finally came back to
where it started from and the report of
the committee was adopted by vote of
IS to 5. Aid. Hsynes, Hunter, Rollins,
Rand, Lackey and Peterson voting III
the negative. Aid. Rand than changed
his vote to yea and gave notice of
motion to reconsider at next meeting.
The Law Is Good.
City Attorney Russell submitted re-
port stating that pursuant to instruc-
tons contained in the motion of Aid.
BrOZie, adopted at a recent meeting of
the council, he had made thorough in
yestigation as to the validity of the bill
creating the board of correction and
charities and had found that the act was
perfectly legal and constitutional. He
further recommended that the papers
and proposals of sites for the new hos
pItal and the papers relating to that
matter be turned over b. the council
committee on health and hospitals to
that board, This report was adopted.
The committee on ways and means
took fall out of the superintendent of
police. and hereafter il he would drive
and ride at the head of his forces on
parade days he must pay for the privi-
lege himself. The committee reported
that it had thrown out the bills for the
care and feed of Supt. HendersonS
horse. on the ground that he should
meet these expenses himself or turn the
horse and buggy over to some depart
ment where it would be of more service
to the city than it is at present.
The report of the committee, includ-
ing a recommended budget of 900 war
rants representing 1910, 600, was adopted.
The committee on claims also re-
ported favOrably upon the claim of ex-
Police Officer De Haven, amounting to
$3.50. De Haven was one of the Off
GERS of the police force at the time of
the reduction of salaries, and the com.
mittee held that although his name was
not included in the list submitted by
Aid. Barry, he was as much entitled to
have the money refunded to him as any
of the others. as he was a member of
the force during the entire time that
the reduction in salaries was in force.
After a lengthy discussion the cain
was laid on the table.

grounds and buildings.

introduced a motion to the effect that

The Old Curb and Gutter
fight was then resumed and the flag
cling interest revived. The matter came
up on a resolution, instructing the city
clerk TO advertise for bids for the con-
| struction of the Parkhurst combined
curb and gutter on Hawthorn and Bry-
ant avenues, on First avenue south,
from Eight to Thirty-third street. and
on other streets. Aid. Rand moved to
