FOR CONTAGIOUS DISEASES.

FOR CONTAGIOUS DISEASES.
The Committee OF the Board OF
Health Reports Favorably on the
Atvater Property for a Hospital
Will Cost at Least $5O,OoO-several
Matters Referred to the Corporation
Counsel-Other Business.
The committee of the board of health, |
consisting of Drs. Winchell and Fleisch-
ner, to whom was referred the matter OF
q hospital for contagious diseases, reported
at the meeting of that body last night in
favor of the Atwater property as site for
the proposed hospital. The committee
further reported that Ia their opinion the
cost of such an institution would be $780,
900. Of this amount $40, 900 would be ex-
pended for the land and the buildings at
present thereon, S., 1000 for putting the
present buildings in readiness for imme-
diate use, new buildings necessary would
cost 5000, bedding and equipments 3d.
600 and sterilizing apparatus $1,000. The
report distinctly states that in the opinion
of the committee the Atwater property Is
by far the most suitable for the purpose of
such a hospital of any location under con-
eideration.
The question of the jurisdiction of the
county health Officer, Attorney Q. E. Hoad-
Icy, appointed in accordance with the pro-
vision of tho act passed by the recent gen.
eral assembly, also came up for discussion.
DR.. Wright stated to the board that Coun
ty Health Officer Hoadley claimed that all
portions of the town OF New Haven out
side of the city limits came under his juris-
diction, and that he also had the right to
prosecute all parties for violation of any
ordinances, and that such matters should
be referred to him.
Heretofore 1t has been the custom of the
board to refer all matters for prosecution
to the city attorney. The board last night
voted to instruct the mayor to ask the
corporation counsel for his opinion as to
the construction of the law in this particu
lar instance as to whether the city attorney
or the county health Office was the proper
person to whom the board should refer ite
cases for prosecution. It was also voted to
refer to the corporation counsel the re-
Gently enacted plumbing ordinance, the
provisions of which are being violated by
Contractor Anthony Carroll who is using
tile pipe in connection with sewers instead
of extra heavy" pipe as specified by the
ordinance and which is interpreted by the
board as meaning iron pipe.
Health Officer Wright reported that 60
far in October there had been reported to
him eight cases of scarlet fever, nineteen
of diphtheria, five of typhoid fever and one
of smallpox.
The report of the special committee on a
hospital for contagious diseases was re-
ceived and placed on file, owing to the late
ness of the hour, until the next regular
meeting, when it will be thoroughly dis
cussed and some decisive action taken.
Committee on Claims.
The committee on claims met in the city
hall last evening and considered the fol-
lowing petitions, but reserved decisions:
of Mary Daley, for abatement of sewer az
sessment, and of John B. Ward, Helen @.
Hills and Alfred Hupee and wife for dam
ages.
ST. ROSE GUILD.
A Delightful Autumn Festival at
Warner Hall Last Evening.
The autumnal festival of st. Roses
guild at Warner hall last evening was a
success in every way. The hall was filled
to the very door and although az many
chairs as could be comfortably placed were
brought into use, more people were stsnd-
ing than were sitting. The program of
the entertainment was most tastefully ar
ranged and most brilliantly executed. The
greater part of it was taken by boys and
girls who acquitted themselves in such a
manner as to receive many encores The
