,Irrcflmen Beatty. the medical mem
F.- Replied py saying he had no thought

.-grd proposition, the like of which
could be found as "a part of no city or
.rarg-s. 2 hat uniformed laymen should
undertake 90 prescribe what constitutes
0rHer regulations for the public health
Seemed 90 him most absurd. Dr. Beatty
-14n quoted the law on powers OF boards
Of health and pointed out that even II
lie ordnance did pass 1T would be repug-
nam CO. the state statute
Warming up to the subject, Dr. Beatty
s.IH was astounding hat any one would
propose TO tie the hands of the health
board az such a critical time as IS fast
approaching. TT others 1alt ike letting

Tie consequences, for soon they will see

Dr. Beatty declared he would do his duty
So help protect the non-yOting class and
me young children from Inc TdVdgeS or
the threatening Contagion.

Rem mbering the fearful drubbing DR..
Beatty gave him at the previous meeting
Oh a similar question Canning cautiously
agreed with his companion but added
thar he wished something could be done
Oh reopen the schools.
In Thomas opinion, Cauning's position
would be correct if the council had order
oil general vaccination
