MAY HAVE CLEANER STREETS.
The Health Committee Will Frame
Rules to Govern the Department..

The Committee on Health met last
night in the City Hail. with the following
members present: Messrs. Hobson, Bur-
ton, Cutchins, Jones. Moore, Rountree,
and Williams.
The payroll from December 9th TO De-
cember 3D. amounting to S,l03, was APP
proved. After the transaction Of fur
Their business the ordinance to create a
department for the cleaning Of streets,
which had been passed by the Council
and referred to this committee by the
Board of Aldermen, was taken up. IL
provoked quite a lengthy and spirited
discussion.
Mr.. Hobson said he was unwilling to go
into the consideration of the ordinance
at that time as he was anxious to take
up the ordinances recommended by the
Board of Health for the general govern
ment of the department at the same
time that this ordinance was considered.
II was necessary, he thought, that me
ordinances should be considered together,
as neither Of them was in very good
shape
Messrs. Rountree and Jones both OPP
posed Mr.. Hobsons view, on the ground
that this STRENGTHENING ordinance had
been so thoroughly considered that II
might readily be amended by the com
mittee, so as to meet the objections OF
the Board Of Aldermen.
Mr.. Rountree moved that the committee
should Immediately undertake the con
slderatlon Of the ordinance, but his mo-
ton was lost.
Mr.. Cutchins moved a subcommittee of
three be appointed to take the ordinance
under consideration, and recommended
such rules for the government OF the
STRENGTHENING Department as they
might deem advisable, and report to the
committee at a special meeting to be
held on Thursday, January 9Th, at ':5o
This was adopted, and the chairman APP
pointed Messrs. Cutchins, Burton, ana
Williams as members of this committee
ON motion of Mr.. Burton, 1t was de-
cided TO hold the semi-monthly meetings
of the committee at 1870 o'clock, instead
of 7. in future.
