Is Always the Cry in Topeka When
ever Public Affair Comes Up.

A special meeting of the Topeka
Commercial club has been called for
this evening to discuss the matter of
securing a suitable room for the ex-
hibit to be made in connection with the

the lower floor of the Hamilton build
ing unless the expense of procuring an
other room and moving his stock Of
carriages into it is paid, and the ar

it can afford to do this.

tary to succeed Charles Kleinhans will
also be taken up at the meeting to-
night.
Topeka ought to begin working for
her new auditorium at once.

In explanation Chairman Pattison
said: There is a question about these
medicine bills and the committee has
made no report upon them. would
like to have the ordinances read which
refer to the duties of the board of
health"
City Clerk McFadden with the assist
ance of City Attorney Bird found the
passages in question. The clause about
the purchase of medicine referred only
to cases of contagious diseases
Councilman .DreW-It does not seem
to me that there is anything in this or
dinance that authorizes the city physi-
clan to buy as much medicine as he
thinks is necessary. 1t provides that in
cases of contagious diseases medicine
may be purchased.
Mayor Fenows-I don't see how you
are going to get around this business.
If you could see some of the people who
come up here and apply for medicine
you would say that the city physician
could not do anything else. l had a
talk with him about this matter after
the matter was discussed before and he
asked me what could be done. 1t seems
that it is difficult to tell what the Ordi-
nance means.I think you Will find there
provision that says the city physician
shall buy clothing when necessary.
City Attorney Bird again consulted
the book of ordinances and then gave
his opinion that it was only in cases of
infectious diseases that the city physi-
clan might go to such an extreme.
Councilman Drew-It seems to me
that the ordinance is plain enough and
refers to cases of cOntag iOuS diseases
and that the city physician has no
right to buy medicines in any other
event.
City Physician MitcheIl-You perhaps
notice that the ordinance cOntemplates
the city having a city hospital.
Councilman Warner-There has been
much objection to our drug bills. 1t
does not seem that it would require $50
or $40 q month to buy drugs for the
use of the city physician but still the
bills of that size keep coming in in
spite of our protests. I want to see
this matter settled once for all.
want to know where we are and what
latitude the city physician has. I
therefore move to refer this whole mat
ter to the judiciary committee.
Councilman Warmers suggestion was
adopted.
