TEE MAYOR THINKS IT ALL RIGHT.
Mayor McDonough differs with DR.
Drummer
i think" sai& the mayor last night,
shat the sanitary board will raise the
Quarantine There has been 40 develop
ment of fever at Brunswick within the
last fifteen DAYS, and according 10 the re
port OF the government surgeons all dan
ger has passed. The government sur
ReOns are experts On the subject and have
earned the reputation OF being cOnstlcn-
tiOus, reliable men. Their conclusions
think, are the best authority upon the
subject.
Mayor McDonough's attention was
called 70 the report in yesterdays Morn
ING News Of the censures Of Bruuswicks
aldermen upon DR. Drummer and the Sa-
vannah authorities generally.
THAT attack upon Dr. Drummer said
Mayor McDOnouCh is the most foolish
thing have ever heard Of. They seem TO
think because savannah has enforced
very strict quarantine that il was done
especially for the purpose Of inJurlng
Brunswick We had nothing against
Brunswick IN enforcing a quaran-
tine. We were protecting savannah. The
quarantine was necessarily strict.
otherwise. DR.. Drummer only did his
duty.
GOT WRONG IMPRESSION
"They seem TO have gotten wrong i'm
preston from DR. Guiteras' statement
that he would consult DIR. Drummer about
raising the quardtiue. They seemed to
think that DR. Drummer 5 advice was TO be
taken about the quarantine generally
against Brunswick DR.. Drummer has
nothing to do with any quarantine except
Savannahs, and he was instructed by the
-eeL
government surgeons at Brunswick for
the purpose of learning if the conditions
there warranted Savannah in raising her
quarantine. There have been some vari-
ances in the reports from Bruins
wick and it was decided that
Surgeon Hutton should explain
them. Surgeon HUttons illness pre-
vented the conference to-day as intended.
We are ready to raise the quarantine
against Brunswick whenever the Condi-
tons warrant it and not before
DIR. BRUNNER NOT WORRYING.
DR.. Drummer was asked about the at
lacks upon him by the Brunswick people.
oh, it doesn't worry me in the least"
he replied.
They can say what they please about
men Brunswick, and it dOesn' taffect me.
] regard it as rather d compliment. |
have only endeavored to do my duty by
savannah IN THIS matter. When Sayan-
nah was in danger from the lax quaran-
tine regulations at Brunswick | said So
II the people of Brunswick
did not like il couldn't
help it. Icould not raise the quarantine
if desired to do so. The sanitary board
must do that. If it is done at present it
will be against my advice, however"
DR.. Drummer is losing no sleep over the
displeasure of the people Of Brunswick at
his course. He is endeavOring, he says,
to DO his duty by Savannah. The opinions
Of the people Of Brunswick or any other
city do not affect him in the least
