The Board of Health and City
Council.

The Board of health end City Council are
still pulling and hauling against each other
and from a member of the Board of Health,
who volunteered the information for publica.
tiou, it is learned that the Council is stand
ing obstinately 10 the way Of the Board 10
i.s Efforts to put into effect measures for the
improvement Of the sanitary coudition Of the
city The bone of contention at present Is
the sand trap in the drain on Main Street
near ehe Jervey House. The residents of the
neiphborhood sent petition to the Board
of Health for the removal of the sand trap,
which they asserted tc be an offensive nui-
sapce.
The Board decided that the eaid trap should
be removed, and recommended to the City
Council that il be removed at once more than
month ago. Council did not act on the
RECOMMENDATION at once and it laid over
until the meeting of Conocil on Tuesday
night. 1t was then taken up end referred to
the Committe on Streets and bitches for in
vestigatiop. The member of the Board OF
Bea'fh Who was talking said be feared 1t
would be month longer before anything
would be done with the recommendation, as
the committee would very probably report
back to Council before action was taken.
The sand trap remains in stdtu gao and is as
offensive as ever to the residents around
about. When winter comes the sand trap
will not be offeosive and there will be no need
for it's removal. Another present cause of
friction is bill; for chloride of lime and other
disin fectauts that the Board ordered for use
when there were several cases OF
diphtheria in town and au epidemic
was feared. These disinfectants were
ordered by the Board on its own response
bility. without waiting FOR q meeting OF
council to approve the action, as the disin-
fectants we're needed for immediate use.
Now Council is making objection to paying
the bill out of the city treasury and has re-
ferred the bill to the city attorney for an
opinion as to whether the council will have
to paw it or not The member Of Board Of
Health says be will pay for the chloride OF
lime himself if the Council refuses to do 80,
on, he don't like the way things are man
aged and wants the people of Sumter to
know all sboutit.
