HE MAY ASK FOR 1t
Mayor Denny Discusses DR.. Still
sons Rumored Resignation.
Wants to Give the College of Physicians
and Surgeons a Position
The Hospital.

Mayor Denny yesterday received a for
NAL notice from the officers Of the faculty
of the Central College OF Physicians and
Surgeons OF the resignation OF Or. StillsOn
as a member of the faculty. The notice
left the Mayor to infer that the faculty
did not longer consider DR.. Stillson a rep
resentative Of that college in the Board Of
Health. The Mayor was asked what he
intended TO do about the matter.
Tn view of the fact that DIR. Stillson was
appointed on that board as a representa-
tive of the Central College. and that he
has now resigned from that institution. I
have been expecting TO hear from him all
day on the subject"
Did you expect to receive his ~resigna-
tion?'
Yes. He is no longer a representative
of the Central College, and ii was his con-
nection with that college that caused him
to be appointed"
IF he does not send in his resignation In
a few days Will you ask for itg'
II have not considered that matter thor
oughly yet. but am inclined to think that
he viii prevent any such course by sending
N his resignation In a short time"
Have you decided who will be appointed
in his stead?'
mot thoroughly. 1 shall probably APP
point a man from the Central College, pro-
vided one can be found who is In full ae-
cord with the financial views of the .,dmin-
istration. The man L appoint may not be
a Democrat. The charter leaves that mat
ter open in regard TO the Board CT
charter provides that there shall be not
more than two members from one political
party, but the charter is silent on the sub
ject OF politics in it's provisions for the
Board OF Health. / don't say that l Will
not appoint a Democrat, but IL / cannot
find one whom / consider suitable for The po-
sition among the members of the faculty
of the Central College / may appoint a Re-
publican"
What is the objection TO Nh Sullson
except that he has resigned from the fac
ulty of Central College?"
His ideas are not in accord with the
economic ideas of the administra ton.
There has been entirely too much extrava-
gance at the City Dispensary and the hos
pital. Numerous bills have been contracted
by the superintendent OF these two ins;l-
tutions without the consent of the board,
which they had no more right to contract
than you or any citizen OF Indianapolis.
These bills have been approved afterward
by the board, but that does not release
the superintendents from the charge or
overstepping their authority. Then, DR..
Stllson contends that these two men must
serve out their two years for which they
were appointed, but l don't think So"
DR.. Stillson last night refused to say any
thing more than that he had not sent in his
resignation, and did not intend 10 do so.

BLOCKING THE IMPROVEMENT.

One of the best improvements in the way
of buildings which has been projected in
this city for some time is delayed by
a saloon keeper. Dickson and

new building on Washington street and Vir-
ginia avenue. just east Of the Vance

ferred to in these columns as the Arcade.

except the last two years. when the rent
was to be 81, 200 per year. Dickson K Tai
bott have proposed TO Barrick that he va
cate the premises during the time neces-
sary TO erect the new building and they
will give him a lease for two years In the
years at SI,SO0. Iney have also offered
to paw him $500 for his lease when TIE
building is completed If he is then located
elsewhere and aon't want TO move.
Barrick has refused to consider any or
these propositions, and demands S,0O 10
give up his lease and move out The build
ing was condemned by Building Inspector
Pendergast some time ago. but the Board
of Works thus far has not approved the
condemnation.
Yesterday Henry NJ. Talbot called
on the board and stated the propositions
he had made TO Barrick and asked that the
board condemn the building. The board told
him TO put his offers to Barrick in writing
and try again TO get his signature 10 the
contract, and then report TO the board: Mr.:
Wildman said he thought the proposition or
If il was not accepted by Barrick the board
