When the report of the committee
on health was read, recommending for
payment to Dr. j. G. Walden, eX-health
officer, of $3.50, Mr.. Britt took the floor
to oppose the resolution. 1t was an old
claim and should be rejected. If DR..
Walden thought the city was indebted
to him, he had his redress through the
courts. the same as any other individ-
ual. Mr.. Frew favored the claim, in
cidentally commencing Dr. Walden for
the manner in which he performed the
duties of his Office Mr. Hahne thought
the claim unjust, but would vote for
it because a precedent was established
in the case of Dr. Jepson.
Mr. Hamilton thought MI Hahne
should vote against it if he thought
the claim unjust; he would vote for 1t
because he thought the claim just and
equitable.
Mr.. Campbell moved to amend by
inserting the clause 1T being under
