The meeting of the city council
was rather brief last night. Most
of the time was taken up in dis
cussing Health Officer Sheridan s

nothing new and that all possible
precautions were being taken in
the matter of quarantining scarlet
fever cases. DIR. j. A. Baker sub
mitted an application for the posi-
tion of city physician, pointing
out the need of one in a letter to
the council. As there is no ordi-

an office no action was taken by
the council Adjournment was

and she had left behind her all her
