THE PROPOSED SANITARY LAW.

The City Council will next Mon
day night pass a sanitary measure
employing by contract a man to
haul off each week tie excrement
from water closets OF all the citizens,
the occupant of the premises, rich
or poor, to pay ten cents per week
for the removal of said excrement,
the owner to pay for the vessel. 1t
paoyides penalty of fine or impris,
onment to be imposed for failure
to pay the ten cents per week. The
hotels and boarding houses to pay
forty cents per week. The Marshal
is to visit the 500 places every week
and make a monthly report, which
will about take up all his time. The
manufacture of some 1900 link cans
will prove good contract to the
timer. The drivers of carts will
have to 'get move on" themselves
and mules if they get around once
a week, going outside Of the corpor-
ate limits and return.
Like the "dog law now a city
ordinance but not enforced, they
will find the proposed sanitary law
about as difficult to enforce and it
may meet with the same fate as the
dog law.
The ten cents per week will be
either a tax OF debt. II tax will
tie law admit OF an increase If q
debt can you fine man tor the non
payment OF debe to cart driver
The State Constitution says there
shall be no Imprisonment for debt.
Evidently it would lot be debt,
because The occupant of the premis-
es had nothing to do with making
the contract; it will have been
made for him by the city. If the
city contracts with the cart driver,
will not the city be responsible for
the debt? If tax, can you collect
it oy fine or Imprisonment If a
tax and it is not paid, will not the
city have to resort to the usual
method, issue tax Fl. ia. against
the defaulter

light nearly Identical with the sun -

that of any other illuminant known.

defined cases of leprosy have been dis
covered within few miles Of GAINESVILLE.
The victims are daughters of Mrs Carey.
the widow of George Carey. an eX-
soldier The ailmeut has been usually
spoken of as sCrOfula. \ Few months
ago ;hc father Of the children died and
the widow applied for a widows pension
ana also for an allowance for her in
valid children. In This way the sufferers
were brought before the public through
the necessary preliminary medical eXaml-
nation. The elder daughter eighteen
years of age, was examined by the New
Lexington board of pens on examining
surgeons, and shortly after it was ru-
mOrcd that she was a leper. She has
been a sufferer for fifteen years. An in
vestigatiOn, just completed. confirms the
distressing reports. In the case of the
elder daughter, her hands and feet have
dried up and dropped OFF. the boaes of
the nose have been destroyed. and parts
of the upper and lower jaw bones have
come away. Al sense of feeling has
Dassed away. and arms and legs are
