 HospitaI-Clty Auditor Brown Requested
 to Give au Account of the Status of the
 Bonds-Committee Visited Hospital at
 Paterson, J.
 The committee appointed by the board of health to consider the subject of hospital for the isolation of pa tients suffering from contagious dis eases visited Paterson, N. J., Monday, for the purpose of inspecting such an institution in that city, Yesterday af- ternoon the committee reported to the board the result of it's observations The plan adopted in Paterson Is what is known as the cottage plan. The main structure is connected by corridors with pavilions. In these pavilions the wards are located. There are accom- modations for thirty patients in the wards at present.
 The floors are of concrete and the plastering of the best adamantine The fumigating apparatus, according to the committee, is almost perfect. The cot tage plan is not an expensive one, and some of it's best features will be adopt ed the members of the board think, when the hospital is built for this city A member Of the committee said last evening that he did not know officially what the board of aldermen had or had a Ia of Monday evening affected the status of the question.
 What interested him was that the board of health should be ready to put up the very best hospital it could whenever the time came that the loca- tion was settled. The law giving the city government the power to bond the city also provides that the board of health shall spend the money. The members of the board contend that the vote passed Monday evening must be concurred in by the council and signed by the mayor before any official notice can be given to them The proposition to place the cOnta- gious disease hospital on the ground of the general hospital does not meet with favor in the board of health. Pres ident Fleischner said that the board would be ready to begin the building in a short time. He asked that the l board inquire of the city auditor as to the status of the board.

 The plumbing inspector reported that F. J. Flanagan had continually Vtolat- ed the plumbing ordinance after due notice had been served upon him. Chairman Riddle supplemented the remarks of the inspector and reported in favor of revoking Flanagan's license. | Chairman Riddle asked that the board l give Flanagan a chance to be heard. A hearing will be given next Tuesday at a special meeting.
 The health officer was instructed to
 confer with the county health officer
 in regard to the abatement of the smoke nuisance at the Consolidated
 railroad yards. The health officer was
 empowered to take such steps as he
 deemed best to abolish the same.
 The citizens of the Third ward are in
 dignant at the action of the aldermen on Monday evening, and are preparing
 to assist the board of health in it's ef-
 forts to keep the hospital from being
 placed on the ground of the general
 hospital One of the interested per
 sons said last evening that the change
 of front in the directors of the general
 hospital can only be accounted for on
 the ground that $50,0O0 is goodly sum
 of money to have control of
