THE SANITARY INSPECTOR.
~ cannot see :" said Commissioner Chap
lin, why that money should be given to
the Citizens Sanitary Associetio1. It's iu-
spector is not subject to our authority and
makes no reports TO US. The inspector should
be- amsnable to our desires. II the county
needs an inspector we can hire our own
''We don't need any sanitary inspector"
said Chairman Dale. This county engi-
noer knows more about the county than
anybody else and can do the work. The
present inspector seems TO take note only
~ ,.1
care of that belongs to the city aud not to
us The money might as we'll be thrown
into the Savannah river"
Il have a strong objection" said Commls-
siouer Carson, ITO the way in which the
matter is boing conducted. They seem to
make mountains out of mole hills"
ave can get the best reports from the
county engineer" said DR.. Charlton. las
far as the market is concerned the city
should look after that"
After a little further discussion il was
decided to make an appropriation of 81 900
for sanitary inspection, to be used in what
manner and wherever the board sees fit.
This seems to settle the matter so far as the
citizens association is concerned.
IL was suggested that in case it was not
used, that this amount would come in well
il any Of the other accounts ran short.
THE COUNTY POOR.
the Louisa Porter home came 10 to confer
with the commissioners in regard TO the
disposition Of the fund for the county Door
Mrs Baldwin said 1t was a hard matter
to get thoroughly satisfactory knowledge
Of the poor in dispensing charities. She
suggested that the best solution of the Quez-
ton was to provide some means OF employ
ment for them, and let them work in cases
where they could do 80.
A motion was made that the poor fund,
with the exception Of that given 20 the
negro ministers for the poor of that race,
be turned over to the Louisa Porter home
to be uset as they saw fit. The
ladies said they would pass upon the
matter at their next meeting and
the committee on county poor was in
structed to confer with them and given
power to act
DR.. Charlton thought that larger ap-
preparation should be made for post mortem
examinations, in order TO prevent any pos
sibility OF fraud or crime escaping the
notice of the law. This matter, together
with the appropriation for the Skidaway
bridge was left over until the next meeting,
which will be held on Tuesday afternoon
next. The suggestion Of Maj. Blandford in
regard to securing better guard service
was referred to the committee on chain
gang.
Commissioner Carson stated Just before
the adjournment of the meeting that the
county had borrow wed about $40 900 last
year, and that he did not think there should
be any neces sity for it this year. "If we
can keep the budget within those limits :"
he said, II think the tax can be reduced to
mills, against Ga last year"
