BOARD OF HEALTH MEETS.

BOARD OF HEALTH MEETS.
Dr. Lawrence Ingram had full attend
ance Of his Health Board in the Council
chamber last night There were present
Messrs. A. ID. Shotwell, Henry Fitzger-
aid, Il. II. Betty h. A. Nunnally, and the
President, DR.. Ingram. Bids for the re-
moval of garbage were opened. The board
seemed a little surprised at the figures
in the bids, being. it would seem, not
satisfied that they were reasonably close
to the actual expense Of removing the
garbage. After considerable elaboration,
Mr.. Betty offered a resolution, which was
adopted, referring the whole matter to
the Council without recommendation, 1t
being the sense of the board that the
present means of removing the garbage
was cheaper than the acceptance OF
either of the propositions would be.
The Manchester Grays have their drill
at the Armory tonight and full at
tendance is urged. The officers of the
company, realizing that the boys may be
called TO active duty almost any dry, are
exceedingly anxious that the members OF
their command will be unusually circum-
spect in their attendance.
Mrs. w. ID. Toler, of Swansboro', who
suffered a stroke of paralysis Wednesday
morning, continues about the same-per-
haps better. The entire right side is af-
gram, the family physician, however,
speaks hopefully of her condition.
TO BUILD ANOTHER WAREHOUSE.
1t was learned yesterday, and con-
firmed at their warehouse in this city,
that Stephen Putney Co., wholesale
shoe dealers, contemplate building an
other mammoth warehouse in this city,
to be located just in the rear of their
present building, at Eighth and Perry
streets, and facing the warehouse OF w.
S. Donnan & Co. Since Putney & Co.
have had their warehouse In Manchester,
their business has increased very greatly,
owing TO the increased facilities of hand
ling their wares. 1t is said now that the
structure, which is of immense size, built
only a few years ago, proves too small
and another Of larger size Is imperative.
The proposed house will be a square In
length and a half square I'm width. 1t is
not understood what disposition will be
made of the present building, but it is
not probable that 1t will be occupied
further by the shoe company. when the
new house is ready for occupancy.
