new HEALTH ORDINANCE.
1t Curtails the Authority Of the CITY
Physician.
HE WILL OPPOSE INTERFERENCE
DIR. McEIroy Says lie VIII Not Allow
the city Council to Take
Up His Duties.

| The ordinance that was adopted at Mon
days meeting OF the city council. on tie
vote OF the aldermen, decided by the vote
Of the mayor in the affirmative, practically
deprives the health officer OF all Of his
duties save those of purely medical char
acter. such as may appertain to his treat
ment OF patients in the hospital and his
authority in case OF epidemics.
In all other matters 1t relegates the au-
thority now vested in him to the city coun-
ell and In some instances to the mayor and
hospital committee.
The authority OF the health officer Is
| RELOCATED to the council in the following
case. VIZ: Where permission Is required
TO make excavations or to remove floors.
etc; the authority to order the removal
Of stagnant water; the regulation and con-
troll of trash deposits: the employment and
control of city carts in the removal OF
garbage: the authority to order the maxi
ing OF sewer connections; the authority to
order the cutting OF weeds. etc; all these
are transferred from the health officer to
the city council leaving the health officer
with no duties to perform save those Of
purely a medical character
City health physician. DR.. Robert Nc
Elroy. was asked yesterday by a Post re-
porter what he thought of the new ordi-
nance
ITO begin with" replied Dr. McElroy,
the ordinance is purely a matter of per-
sonal spite entertained against me by the
administration.
II not only regard the ordinance as I'M
wise. but | do not believe that its provis-
ions can be sustained. For example, II
thought the making of an excavation and
tho tearing up of an old floor would en-
danger the health OF this community l
would invoke the power of the State before
| would permit it to be done. Such matters
are purely OF a sanitary character and
properly belong ia the health department
The cleanliness of the city is matter of
and properly belong to the
health department.
Il do not believe, from an economic
standpoint that the city can own its own
carts. as contemplated by the ordinance
and do the work OF street cleaning as
cheaply as 1t is now done The expense of
garbage collection under my administration
has been less than under any previous ad-
l employ. at present six carts
and two wagons and cover 3l7 miles OF
streets
THE enforcement OF this ordinance will
simply cause constant turmoil between
me and the city council as certainly will
not permit the council to order things done
mat regard as violation OF all well es-
tablshed hygenic regulations"
