GIVEN FULL AUI HOR|IY
DR.. Alexander Finally Convinces
the Council.
THE SMALLPOX SITUATION
Aldermen Decide to Investigate the
Graveyard Water Question-Thsy
VIII Visit thu Pump
Station.

DR.. Alexander, the city health officer,
had hard time convincing the council
last evening that the smallpox situa-
ton was sufficiently alarming to war
rant the adoption Of drastic measures
to stamp it out, but he finally sue
ceeded and was eventually accorded
the authority to deal with the disease
as the emergency requires.
Ane meeting was a special one, called
by the mayor for the especial purpose
of considering the smallpox question
and the matter of alleged graveyard"
water After an hour or so Of debate
on the water question, the council de-
cided to investigate it as committee
OF the whole, and then an hour was
consumed by the aldermen in giving
vent to the wisdom with which they
were surcharged, the sensible idea was
adopted Of giving DR.. Alexander and
his assistant, DR.. Monroe, full power
to act with regard to smallpox.
The water question was first taken
UP, the mayor stating one of the OBJ
jects of the meeting was to investigate
the subject of pumping water from Its
pump station near Silver Bow creek,
which water has in the past been cob
demned on the theory that it Is con-
terminated by seepage from the grave
yard
Page, Britt and Noyes led the attack
on the water company, while the water
was defended by Bryant, Knowlton and
Macarthur. knoWlton said he regarded
the water from the pump station as
superior to that from the reservoirs, as
diu also Bryant and Macarthur, while
the other gentlemen mentioned thought
otherwise.
A representative of the water COM
pany made statement that the water
was pumped from a well and as far as
he knew no water from the creek got
into it. 1t was finally decided on mo-
ton of Bryant, to visit the pump sta
ton as a committee Of the whole to-
morrow afternoon at oclack and have
the city physician make chemical
analysis Of the water.
In the smallpox matter the debate
was long, tedious and consisted chiefly
of assaults by different aldermen on the
health officer and Dr. Monroe, the
smallpox physician. of the manner in
which they have discharged their du-
ties, but the aldermen were finally con-
WINGED the doctors had done their duty
and that the fault lay in the restric-
tons placed upon the quarantine sys-
tenn and the long controversy ended by
the council passing motion giving
DR.. Alexander and DR.. Monroe full
power to handle the smallpox situation
as their judgment dictated.
Besides these matters the council also
took up the two minor subjects and
directed the city clerk, acting with the
chief Of the fire department, to pur-
chase an indicator for the first station
and the building inspector to make
some needed repairs to the office Of the
city engineer
