soveroirnty in Matter Of sanitation.

The proposition OF an afternoon
paper TO refer to committee Of citizens
the differences existing between the
Bosrd Of Health and Board Of Public
Education Is ridiculous. i. might, aud
probably would, bo the proper thing in
Switzerland, where the referendum is one
Of the fundamental principles Of the
constitution, but it is foreign to the
spirit OF our city charter where two
municipal bodies, possessing distinct
public functions, are concerned.
The Board OF Health Is made up
largely Of competent physicians, who
get but little for their services. Their
work might BE- called phllAnthropic, for
they sacrlfcs much valuable time in the
performance Of their public duties
They aud their lay associates have no
axes to grind no contracts to lot. They
practically give their services to the
city and labor faith fully Tor standard
Of sanitation as perfect as it is prRcti
cable to put in effect
The duties Of the board are fully set
forth IN the ordinance Of City Council.
based upon an act of the General Assem-
bly, passed April Is. 1855 The second
section OF the ordinance provides aB fol
lows.
''The Board Of Health shall have power

and lives OF the pupils. Experiments
have been made and these same members
have come to the conclusion that the
only efficient remedy Is TO drain them
into tho common sewers. They have
Issued their order to that effect and it
has been wholly disregsrded by the
Board Of Public Education. The Board
Of Health, after exhausting all reason
able means, has carried the matter into
court by swearing out warrants for
members Of the reoslcitrant board.
This is not q matter Of reference to
oltizsns. 1t is a matter involving tho
beneficial powers Of one Of the depart
ments Of our city's government which
have been set at defiance by a body which
should strive to elevate both the Board
OF Health and itself in the public esti
nation.
The health OF hundreds Of school
children should not hinge upon caprice
Of the Board of Public Education or
technlcality Of the law A much higher
principle is involved and should be
reoognizsd-the principle Of humanity.
What Is the use OF Board Of Health
which cannot protect our children In
public IS we'll as in private places2 What
is the use Of Board Of Public Education
which has not a primary interest in the
health and physical well-belng OF It's
dependent chsrges2
There is not a taxpayer IN Wilmington
who Is so mean-splrited as to obj to
the expense Of making the sewer con-
nections demanded by the Board OF
Health.
And when this cruel war IS over. II
any doubt remains as TO the sovereignty
Of the Board Of Health in the matter Of
public sanitation the sooner the General
Assembly or City Council dispels that
doubt the better It viii be for all con-
corned.
