 Health Officer wright's Report-other
 Matters Considered.
 At the meeting of the board of health yesterday afternoon, Attorney J. r. Goodhart, counsel for Mrs. Vaughan, the location of whose maternity hospital on Prospect Place is objected to by near- by residents, appeared and asked that Mrs. Vaughan be given leave to with draw temporarily her application for g. transfer of her license for a maternity hospital from No. 45 Stevens street to No. Prospect Place. MT. Goodhart represented to the board that Mrs. Vaughan had applied for the transfer without advice of counsel and said that he held that the license granted her to do business on Stevens street gave her an equal right to conduct the hospital on Prospect Place, the person and not the place being involved in the license. He stated that the question was before the court for decision and pending the action of the court he desired the appli- cation withdrawn.
 Attorney c. s. Morehouse appeared to represent the parties who protest against Mrs. Vaughan's conducting the hospital on Prospect Place and gave notice that he would later ask for a revocation of Mrs. Vaughans license. The board of health later voted to give Mrs. Vaughan leave to withdraw tenn porarily her application for a transfer of her license.
 Health Officer Wright submitted to the board his report for the month of November. He reported 31 cases of diphtheria with seven deaths resulting, Il cases of scarlet fever, no deaths; seven cases of typhoid fever, three of which were in the First ward, three deaths resulting. One hundred and thirty deaths were reported for the month against 163 for the corresponding month last year. Twenty-nine of the | deaths last month were of children un- l ubC i've yGdIS bl age, lulI NCIS of persons over sixty years of age. The 1 health officer also reported fifty-one nuisances abated last month and forty l five houses disinfected for contagious diseases. Dr. Wright called attention to the fact that while for the past ter years there has been an arrangement between the board of health and the selectmen regarding the care of patients l at the pest house, 1t was now necessary to enter into an arrangement with the | board of charities and correction, the old town government having been dont away with. He recommended that { ! committee be appointed to confer witt the charities board in regard to tht | matter. His report was accepted, th' | recommendation adopted and he wa | appointed a committee of one to see tht i charities board. The old arrangemen whereby the board of health furnished physicians and nurses for the pes
 house patients while the town furnished
 the house, food, attendants, will prob
 ably be continued.
 The board voted to insist upon the re
 moval of a vault at No. 53 Whale,
 avenue on property owned by l.. H l

 received from the secretary of the Mich
 iGan state board of health for the presi
