Ordinance Revision Commission.
The board of aldermen at their spe-
cial meeting last evening considered
number of important matters, chief OF
which was the mayors veto of the or
der establishing a contagious disease
hospital at Springside farm AS soon
as the veto message had been read Al
derman Alcorn, of the Thirteenth ward,
moved that action on the veto be post
poned to an adjourned meeting to be
held on the evening of October 10. he
said that he had received reliable assur-
ances that arrangements would be made
>esr the location of the hospital on the
grounds of the state hospital on Cedar
street. In view of this fact he desired
postponement of action on the veto
until the arrangements were completed.
Alderman Corcoran said that if ar
! rangements were made to locate the
acontagious disease hospital on the state
hospital grounds in the Third ward an
injunction would be secured to prevent
TITS location there.
AlucIIl1H d. u. w oiSli, WI tliG ISiAsA'
ward, who not long ago favored the
Springside site, thought that the veto
should be sustained. He said that the
gentleman from the Thirteenth desired
to postpone action simply because there
were not present members enough to
pass the vote over the mayors Veto
Alderman Dickerman seconded the
motion to postpone. Alderman Miller,
OF the Seventh ward, said that he
would have moved to postpone had no
one else done so and his reasons for
doing SO would be that there were not
enough present to pass the order over
the veto He said that the only objec-
ton to the Springside site was among
the physicians.
Alderman Fertman, chairman of the
special committee on the hospital mat
4 ter, presented an opinion from the cor
poration counsel which stated in sub
stance that the order passed by the
common council last spring locating the
hospital site at Springside still held
good unless rescinded.
Alderman Miller thought that the
present mayor had no right to veto
that order, and that the only order con-
cerning the matter which he could veto
was the order for the authorized bond
issue for the hospital.
An aye and nay vote was called for
On the motion to postpone action, ana
the vote resulted as follows:
