BILLS AND
Board of Health DispOses of Routine
Business-InspectOrs' Uniforms.

Ar the meeting of the Board of Health
YESTERDAY the bills arising from the small
poX scare were considered, and the board
decided that it would reject all that did not
come strictly within it's Jurisdiction This
means that the Board of Health declines
to pay from the funds at it's disposal the
greater part of the bills caused by the
smallpox quarantine. The bill of DR.. Wag-
ner for $500 was allowed, and that of Sher-
if Emmett for $174.O was cut to $3.50 and
then allowed The bills not allowed and
returned to the Board of Public Safety are
as follows: Foster & Co., meals furnished
persons quarantined at the police station
recommendation made that the persons
who were in the employ Of the city should
be made to pay for the meals furnished
them, as they were paid during the time
they were at the station; Pray q Petr1e,
$500 fer keeping the patrol wagon horses;
A. Burdsall Company, S1.1S for material
furnished to repair the police station;
police station; w. II. Messenger, $3.50 for
carpet at the police station; Carl Moller,
sss & bi for Of a 30 from the ett poll Sete sfnaaGH- Arm
strong for inspecting two dairieS was not
allowed. The board believed that as the
should not be allowed extra compensation
for this work. Bills from Drs. Eastman
and Stanley, Of the City Dispensary, for
$l3.15 street-car fare were disaliowed by
the board.
The board also awarded contracts for
supplies as follows: For ice, City Ice Com
pany, So per ton; bread and crackers. F. p.
Boiling, GAG Indiana avenue, "a cents per
pound for bread and 5 cents for crackers;
for milk, Norris H. Meyers. IL cents per
gallon. The contract for meat was not
let, and will not be until the board has
had an opportunity to compare the bids
with prices paid last year. The contracts
are to run one year from the first day of
the present month. An order was issued
that hereafter all goods furnished the insti-
tuition be weighed or measured by the Off
Gals and checked off the bill to avoid short
measures.
The question of uniforming sanitary in
spectorS was also considered by the board,
but no definite action was take upon 1t.
The board desires to secure a uniform that
will distinguish their men from the patrol
men. They will probably be required to
wear blue uniforms with SLOUGH hats.

The people of Sullivan county are said to
be under the impression that the county will
have to pay the cost Of maintaining the
militia sent there to suppress disorder
and enforce law. In this they are mis-
taken. The expense OF modifying the mill
tia will be borne by the entire State. But
there is another liability which may fall
on the people Of Sullivan county, and that
Is for damages on account of property
destroyed by the striking miners. Although
there Is no statute on the subject in this
State. yet it is a general principle of law
that cities and other municipalities are
liable in damages for the destruction of
property by mobs that might and could be
suppressed by a proper exercise Of au-
thority. On the principle that riots are al
ways local in their character. the State
is never liable in damages for the destruc-
ton of property. though it is responsible
for the enforcement Of law If the local au-
thorities fail. Legislation on the subject
differs in different States. New York, New
Jersey, Maryland. Missouri, California and
Wisconsin place the responsibility for the
destruction of property by mobs on the
cities and counties where the acts occur.
Maine. Massachusetts,, New Hampshire,
Kansas and South Carolina place the re-
sponsibility on cities and towns, but not on
counties. In Pennsylvania, under an old
act Of a special nature, the county Of AL
legheny was held liable to the extent Of
several million dollars for property de-
stroyed during the great railroad strike
and riots Of 1877. In the absence of any
legislation on the subject in this State 1t
might be difficult to fix the responsibility
for property destroyed by the rioters upon
Sullivan county, but the experiment would
be worth trying. In view of the inefficiency
and demonstrated worthlessness Of Sheriff
Mills, it would be a good lesson If the peo-
pie were taught that they. may have to pay
dearly for putting unworthy men in Office.
Events have shown that Indiana ought to
have a law making cities and counties
pecuniarily liable for the acts of mobs.
Such a law would have led to the suppress
sion Of whitecapism long ago, and would
doubtless have prevented such an exhibit
ton Of official oowardice as the sheriff of
Sullivan county has given.
