The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1893-08-26

peared with little criticism of Mayor
McDOnOugh, of Savannah, for establish
ing such strict quarantine on Bruins
wick. The article was not indOrsed, and
Mayor Lamb and several citizens to
whom your correspondent talked thought
1t out of place. 1t is realized here that
Mayor McDonoUgh did what he thought
best, and his kindness in sending aid is
not to be, nor is it, overlooked. Mayor
Lamb is outspoken in his surprise and
regrets its publication.
