The committee on ordinances and Ii
censes, to which was referred the report
of the board of health regarding tubercu-
losis in cattle, submitted the following
resolutions:
Whereas, The bject of tuberculosis
in animals used for food, or whose milk
product is used as an article of diet, is
one of great Importance, both in sanl-
tary point of view and in regard to its
financial bearing upon the owners OF
herds, and
Whereas, Our territory from it's alti-
tude, dryness and general salubrity has
probably less than any other portion OF
our country of this dreaded bacillus, and
we believe should be carefully guarded
from the importation of the same; there
fore be it
Resolved, By the city council of the
city of Santa Fe, That we earnestly rec
ommend to the owners of herds and to
all who have mich COWS that they have
the same inspected, and, if any are found
diseased, that they be Immediately de-
stroyed, to the end that neither other All
mails nor mankind may become infected
with the dread disease.
This resolution was adopted.
In the absence of Chairman Garcia
DR.. Andrews asked that the finance com
mittee be granted further time to repor
on certain matters pending before it. Thu
request was granted.
The city marshal and ex-officio stree
commissioner reported that, on Saturday
only nine men reported for street work
and that DR.. Andrews as chairman of thu
committee on streets and bridges tolt
him that the city was employing an over
seer at SO per day, who could just as wei
supervise the work of twenty or twenty
five men as eight. Accordingly, wher
only nine men reported for duty on Mon
day morning, he did not put them t.
work.
DR.. Andrews said that the marshal mis-
understood him. He merely made sug
gestion and did not intend it to be un
derstood as an order.
The question then arose as to whether
the nine men who reported but did moi
work were entitled to receipts.
After some discussion, the marshal was
directed to issue receipts to the nine men
by a vote of four to three, Messrs. Andrews
Holmes ana Harroun voting in the mega
tive.
Petitions regarding nuisances near the
residences of Messrs. T. j. Helm und l.
G. Read we're referred to the committee
on health.
Sheriff Cunningham appeared before
the board, and said that for two months
he had fed the city prisoners without
cash remuneration, and that he should
decline to feed them longer than one
more week unless the matter of pay was
adjusted.
The subject was referred to the com
mittee ON police with instructions to take
prompt action.
The council then adjourned until mex
Monday evening.
