moved that the appointment be con-
frmed.

again appointed Dalby He would have
much preferred that the present health

Der of the people.

referred to the committee on sanitary
rules and quarantine.

| f1rmation of the doctor was lost for
want of a majority and had no bust
| ness to come up again. He considered
| the mayors communication an insult
to the intelligence of the members of
| the council. His objection to Daily
was that he was not a taxpayer within
the meaning OF the law.
Young-The mayor has a right to
nominate the health officer, and ne has
a right to nominate DIR. Daily as many
times as he likes. I don't hold with Mr.
Clawson in the matter of the fact OF
the doctor not being a. taxpayer debar-
ring him from holding a public office
1 will never refuse to vote for a man
-
to become taxpayer was ill-advised
and he would have been better not tc
have made 1T, but 1 will support the
mayor in this appointment
ClawSon said he didn't object to a
man being poor holding office as lone
as he was taxpayer.
The president ruled that this was an.
other nomination and must be consid.
cred as such
