VIII NAY DIG DICK.
The CAUCUS of the city council Thurs
day night. at which the new water ex-
tension was considered, developed into
a board of health meeting, called by
Chairman Harris, of the board of.
health and sanitation committee, which
lasted until about II o'clock. Quite a
little business was transacted, with re-
gard principally to the hospital, and
as result there will be lesser de-
gree of leniency allowed the patients in
the future.
The hospital patients, owing to the.
fact that but very few are at all ill,
have been difficult to restrain from vio-
3lating the rules that have been neces-
sary for the preservation of strict
quarantine, so at the suggestion of
Health Physician Nichols the board OF
health adopted a set of more stringent
rules. Hereafter there will be no means
of communication except over the tele-
phone. 1t was decided by the board to
stretch a strand of wire $50 feet from
the fences. which will be known as
"tlie dead line" and no one will be all
lowed to cross that line. Notices to the
general public viii be posted in all di-
rections leading to the grounds and
visitors are to keep fifty feet from the
fence, 50 that 1t will make a distance OF
200 feet that will intervene between
patients and the public. Conversations.
therefore. at this distance will not be
very profitable and will do away with
the visiting.
The board decided the work at the
employed and decided to hire Mrs.
who is we'll but still not ready to be re-
leased. To assist Mrs. Jared Moreland in
the kitchen and dining room at a salary
of $40 per week. 1t was also decided To
move Will Sellers, colored. the patient
who has been confined with eleven
other colored people in the old fiat
iron" on Railroad street, between First
avenue and Center street. to the old
detention hospital tonight. The old
building, which was moved from its
former location east of the city to the
grounds on which the new hospital is
situated. has been remodeled extensive
ly and enlarged and will be used for the
confinement of negroes. This will allow
the Railroad street building. which has
been the cause of considerable expense
in the way of maintenance and guards,
( to be released from quarantine sooner
Sellers has entirely recovered and there
are none of the other inmates of the
building who give promise of being
sick.
The rules that will govern the hos
pital hereafter, as passed by the board
at the special meeting Thursday night
are as follows:
i The chief nurse shall have absolute
authority. under the Instructions of the
board of health. and the control of the
