DR.. Alexander and Aldermen BRYANT.
Medin and Britt, comprising the city
board OF health. and the county commits
sloners, held a joint meeting his after
noon for the purpose of discussing mat
ters IN connection with the case of small
pox discovered in the Miller block yes
terday. The principal point under dis
cussiOn was the expense of taking care
of he patient. Chairman Clark Of the
commissioners, stated that yesterday, in
compliance with a decision reached
shortly after the case was discovered, an
attempt was made to hire an expressman
to convey the patient from the block to
the pest house, but no one could be en-
plOyed and a new wagon had ia he
bought.
Alderman Bryant said he believed the
citizens of Butte would sanction any
movement made by the city and county
nealth boards to prevent a spread Of the
disease and would willingly bear any ex-
pense > board might incur.
The proposition Of paying DR.. Sullivan,
the physician sent to the pest house to
stay until the disease is eradicated from
the district was discussed. DIR. McCrim-
mon, who spent two weeks there during
the last visit of the disease, was paid $500,
and in the opinion of the gentlemen no
other physician could be employed for
less. 1t was decided to pay the doctor
$500, the city and county to bear an equal
share in the expense.
The nurses salary was fixed at $3.50.
The city will pay the latter. The ex-
pense of the guards will be borne by both.
