 at the endsof that time if the common council had not acted the health board
 might go on with the establishment of
 the hospital The idea of this was that the common council might provide for
 a hospital of that character at d small cost, $5,O00 or $10O00, and thus prevent
 the issuance of $5O0OO worth of bonds.
 This proviso was tackled on the board
 of health's bill and was passed as a. part of the bill As matters now stood unless the common council takes some action before June 20 next the board of health will have power to go and estab- fish a $50,000 hospital. About two months ago the common council passed an order establishing the hospital at Springside Farm. The act provides that bonds must be signed by the mayor and the common council order provided for the issuance of bonds not to exceed $50,000, leaving the amount to be fixed by the mayor at a reasona- ble amount, $5,o00 being suggested by Alderman Beecher and others as 8 reasonable and adequate amount. This order was vetoed by Mayor Studley, who endeavored by personal appear ance Before the court of common coun- cil, to explain in a speech that if this order was vetoed and did not become binding the hospital would not be built.
 Members Of the common council, however, wondered what would be done if the order failed of passage and the entire matter was left to the board of health by the failure of the common council to take action before June next Accordingly the veto and all matters connected with the order was referred to the special committee. This was the committee which met last night.
 Mayor Studley appeared and sug- gested that the board of health be re- quested to agree not to take any action towards the establishment of the con- tagious disease hospital until after the next session of the legislature. The board of health appeared but would make no promise to that effect until after the matter shall have been dis cussed by that board.
 The decision of the board will be made known later. There was express ed last night by those who understand the situation of affairs doubt as to whether any agreement of the kind suggested by Mayor Studley would be binding upon the board of health even if that board agreed to it since the act of the legislature which would now be a law were it not for the proviso above mentioned, clearly provides that the authority for establishing, equip nd r,S1i, ,foir ip "a nrnrpcnl hoe pital shall rest with the board of health unless the common council shall before June 20 next take action towards the establishment of the hospital
 It is suggested by those opposed to further bonding the city that the com mon council block the bonding, as pro- vided in the proviso of the bill, by es- tablshing the hospital and providing for the expenditure of some reasonable | for the erection and equipment | at Springside Farm of building which | shall be adequate for the care of such [ few cases as arise calling for the use of such an institution.
 It is understood however, that the | board of finance, following out it's eco- | policy pursued in its work of | making up estimates for next year, has | provided for the appropriation of S5, GOO | for the purpose, a sum which is con- sdered entirely adequate. If this ap- tion is made the common coun- cil will, 1t is thought, pass another or der to establish the needed building and | at Springside to cost not more than $5,00O and thus save the bonding of the city for s5O,00O more.
