Of the health board very briefly, and con-
CURED in the action OF the house
Adjourned until Monday night.
The house had been specially summoned
by the mayor for the purpose of passing
the salary ordinance. The board of health
in communication asked the council to
make an appropriation sufficient to pro-
covered in the city yesterday. also to make
provisions for the payment of the expenses
incurred by the board during the present
month. The house went into committee
Of the whole, with DR.. Crichton in the
chair.
On motion of Dr.. Kloeber the various
items for the maintenance of the pest
house were taken up seriatim. He objected
to such large number of attendants. and
said resident physician was unneces-
sary.
Delegate Cook thought there should be
. resident ply stefan, and 90 moved. He
thought the assistant health officer could
better be dispensed with. There was no
second, and DR.. Kloeber's motion to strike
out the provision for resident physician
was carried.
One assistant physician to the health
officer was allowed at $50 a month; also a
male nurse at S. day. A nurse and am
bulance driver at IS day was not deemed
necessary. The board may employ a
female nurse at IS day if necessary, pro-
vided the mayor and board Of public
works agree. A cook at 50 . day was dis
allowed, as the nurse can do the cooking
for one patient Guards at 81 day for
the suspect house were allowed. provided
the board Of public works deems them
necessary. A contingent fund OF $3.50 was
allowed, but no supplies are to be pur-
chased unless on a requisition from tho
board of pubic works.
No allowances were made for clothing
for discharged patients and for burial of
the deceased. as no such accounts are
needed as yet; $50 for vaccine and disin-
fectants was allowed: $1,000 for contingent
expenses was placed in the hands of the
mayor and board Of public works.
The committee then arose and q brief
recess was taken. during which the sup
preston of the Sunday Mercury was dis
cussed, and all the members seemed anx-
ious to adopt some plan to shut it off,
No feasible scheme. however, was decided
upon.
