persons undoubtedly had clothes on
when they were sent to the hospital
and that they should have them on
when buried.
81 do not know what is done with the
Clothes" he said. They may be burn
ed or they may be sold to a second hand
dealer. But sCmetf ing is done with
them and l want to know what.
81 suppose it makes no particular
difference to the dead what clothes
they wear when they are buried, but
the reputation of Ell PssO demands that
the report shall not 60 abroad that the
invalids sent by the city to its hospital
are robbed after death of even their
Clothes"
Alderman Badger moved that here
after when q patient is sent to the
hospital the city health officer or who
ever sends him there take an Inventory
of such patients belongings and that
the hospital manager be compelled to
produce the property after the patients
death. The motion was unanimously
carried.
Judge Falvey appeared for Messrs.
Brett and McElroy, organizers OF the
new telephone company. and urged the
council to take some action on the
petition for q franchise. Chairman
Ogden, of the ordinance committee. to
which the petition was referred at the
last meeting, reported that 1t had not
had time to consider it and asked for
week longer in which to make areport.
He said he had not seen the petition
until few minutes before she council
convened and was not prepared tOmake
arepors. He said he didnot believe in
rushing matters of that kind through
the concil without due investigation.
Judge Falvey said that it was not the
com pany's fault II the committee had
not seen the petition, that the matter
had been duly referred to the COM
mittee, that 1t had had a week to con-
slider it, and that further delay would
work hardship on the petitioners.
Alderman Whitmore agreed with
Judge Falvey that it was not right to
of courtesy to the committee he favor
ed granting 1t weeks time. Mr.. Og-
den promised to report on the petition
at the next meeting.
Judge Kemp said the petition had
been examined by him and he had pre-
granted the franchise.
In regard to the matter of street en-
croachment Judge Kemp read the fol-
lowing resolution which he said would
