PLACE CHOSEN
Five Hundred Dollars Re-Appropriat-
ed to Place Signs on Streets.
s.. LUKE's HOME RELIEVED OF LtW
The Report Of the Street Committee Shows that
a Large Amount of Work is Being Done
on the Streets in Different Paris
Of he civ.


a farm where the garbage of the city
may be deposited. The place chosen
is the Carter farm, about half a mile
from the corporate limits of the
city, on the Fayetteville road. The
price to be paid is $4,000, and the farm
contains 100 acres.
The matter of exempting ST. Luke's
Home from the payment of the pave
ment levy. which was made by re-
quest, was unanimously granted. Then
followed motion to exempt also Rex
hospital. This brought protest
from Alderman Jones
''We are giving them $4,000 per
year." said he, and / think that is
enough. And besides, we have abso-
lutely no say so in the management
of the affair. | understand too, that
city patients have been turned away
and refused admission. I'd like to
know why we are giving them $4,000
Il year any way"
Alderman Drewry explained that the
directors of the hospital were elected
for life by the Board of Aldermen.
and in that way the board had repre-
sentation in the management.
Mayor Powell explained that a city
patient had been turned away only
once, and when that happened only
through a misunderstanding of what
the city's rights are. According to a
contract between the city and the hos
pital, the hospital must take any in
digent patient, resident of the city or
any stranger in the city who has been
seriously injured accidentally, who
may be sent there by any physician,
or the proper city officers.
Alderman Wynne then spoke of the
amount of work by the nurses and at.
PENDANTS, and said that he could favor
giving the institution double as much
as it was getting if necessary.
Mr.. Wynne later moved to exempt
the hospital from the pavement of the
street levy also, but the motion was
defeated.
The Finance Committee reported
that they had Investigated for some
place suitable for the deposit of the
city garbage and recommended the
purchase of the tract known as the
Carter tract, containing 178 acres, for
which $4,000 be paid. 1t also recon-.
mended that committee composed
of Mayor. City Attorney, City Clerk,
Sanitary Officer, A. B, Andrews, IT.,
and J. S. Wynne, be appointed to whom
the matter of transfer of title, etc, be
referred.
The committee states that they have
the project of placing signs at street
corners. but cannot recommend that
it be done as there is no money in
the treasury.
