COMMITTEE MEETINGS. COM
mittee on poor held their regular
monthly meeting last night and ap-
proved such bills as were presented for
supplies to outdoor poor and poor
house furnished last month. The com.
mitlee called on Mayor Simpson and
discussed in an informal way the best
method of serving the deserving poor
with wood and groceries. The Mayor
said the police had been instructed to
make any inquiries on the part OF, and
to assist the Overseer of Poor, and Mr..
Shock was himself posted as to many
undeserving. The committee and the
Mayor also talked over the bills for
medicines for the poor, both, however,
recognizing that if costly prescriptions
were given and frequently renewed the
bills would continue large. The COM
mittee also made critical examination
of medicine bills and fixed the average
prescription from 55 to 60 cents, and a
difference 10 some instances 10 the cost
of standard preparations, such as pep
tOnoids and creosOte, pepto- mangum,
maltine, emulsion, lactopeptine, tongo-
line, &c. The Mayor stated to the
committee that he was OF the opinion,
from an examination of the law, that
no obligation, and only an understand
ing, exists as to the dispensers striking
one-third from their bills, because sec
ton 5 chapter 20 of the corporation
code provides that 1.-THE dispensers OF
medicjnes shall he paid In such manner
as may from time to time be regulated
by the City Council" During the past
seven months the bills of the dispensers
have amounted to 1850 gross, 500
| net. The committee of course expect
that the very deserving poor shall be
cared for, but 10 this some effort should
be made TO economize.
The committee on finance also met
last night TO receive an ordinance pre-
pared by Corporation Attorney Boo'he
| in reference to the Washington, Alex
andria and Mount Vernon Railway.
