THAT SMALLPOX CASE.
1t Causes Considerable Trouble Be-
tween Health and Hospital Officials.

tween Health and Hospital Officials.
DR.. Titus, the superintendent OF the City
and County Hospital, and Health Officer
keeney are at lsggerheads. Both gentle
men claim TO be right. and both indulge in
accusations against one another.
The trouble was caused by case of
smallpox which was transferred to the
City and County Hospital Monday after
noon.
The patient was Mrs. Margaret Healy,
who was found in clearinghouse at 11lB
Minna street suffering from the dread
disease.
DR.. Keeney had her removed to the hos
pital and fumigated the place. claiming 10
act under authority OF the Board Of Health,
who had ordered patients removed there
as the PeSthouSe was in no condition to re-
ceiye them.
The health officials claim that when the
patient arrived at the hospital no prepara-
tons had been made TO receive her, and
that she was allowed TO remain in the am
buiance for some time before she was
finally placed in an election booth on the
grounds, instead of into ward which the
Health Board had ordered SET as de for the
puTpose.
They further assert that the booth had
no windows, and that the woman has been
exposed To tie cold winds, and that she has
had no medical attendance since her arrival
W her seen by CALL reporter last night
DR.. Titus, the superintendent of the los
pital, denied the statement made by tile
health officials
He says he objected to admitting the
woman to tie hospital as there were better
aceommod ations for her at the Pesthouse,
and that the lives OF all the other patients
would be endangered by her admittance
Some time ago the Board of Health or
dered ward fitted up for smallpox patients,
but the Board Of Supervisors failed to ap-
proDriate the necessary funds aud the mat
ter was dropped without further action
being taken.
DIR. Titus is very indignant that DR..
keeney should send him a smallpox case
without warning, and asserts that the latter
had no authority to use the hospital ambu-
lance IN which other patients are daily
transported for that purpose.
Dir. Titus also denies the allegation that
the woman was allowed TO remain exposed.
but says that the booth was fitted I'D as
quickly as possible for her and that nurse
has been IN constant attendance since her
arrival. Some important DEVELOPMENTS are
expected at the next meeting OF the Board
OF Health, when the warning medicos will
test their rights

TAKEN TO COURT.
The Extension Job VIII Be Tested by
Law.


Lowell White and Thomas Maree have
petitiohed the Superior Court for a writ Of
review of the proceedings of the Board of
Supervisors in the matter Of the Poirero-
avenue extension. In their petition they
allege that the Board OF Supervisors never
had power to adopt the original resolution
OF intention. which. they say, never was
signed by the Mayor nor presented TO him
for approval. They allege further that the
board in exercising quasi-judicial functions
under the act of the Legislature approved
March g. 1889. exceeded its Jurisdiction that
SAID act does not in Terms nor by impliea-
ton contemplate the Improvement of more
tnan one street IN one proceeding. and that
the Board of Supervisors exceeded its iuris-
dietion in embracing Potrero avenue, Bran
nan and Tenth streets in one proceeding
III IS further alleged that no compensation
whatever has been paid into court for the
owners whose land is damaged. Ii Is claimed
that all the proceedings are illegal: that

nation of the commissioner report, is in
terested in said Improvement, was there
fore incompetent aud disqualified from
voting fairly and impartially in favor of
SAID resolution, and without bis vote the
report would not have been confirmed
Another allegation OF the petition is
that the act Of March 6, 1889. for
opening and extending streets. was re-
peaied by section 124S OF the Code
Of Civil Procedure. as amended March
9. 1889, which is Inconsistent with said act.
