Stone CRUSNER GOES
DIR. SLOGGETr DEMANDS
IMMEDIATE STOPPAGE
The Board Of Heath Takes Action
By COMMITTEE to Protect
Insane Asylum
Patients.

President Sloggett informed the
Board Of Health. at its meeting yes
terday, that the rock crusher at the In
sane Asylum had started up again on
Tuesday. The operation Of the plant
adjacent to the wards had been con-
demned by three successive medical
supe rintendents-D Herbert, DR.. Wal
ters and DIR. Master. AS guardians OF
the patients the Board ought now to
take decisive action. He asked the
to authorize immediate pro-
ceedings for an injunction to restrain
the Superintendent OF Public Works
from the blasting and crushing Of stone
at the quarry in question. Or. Sloggett
went on to say that the pretext for
continuing the works at the place
that the removal Of the plant would en-
tail an expense OF $4,000 or $4,000 be-
sides depriving the road bureau Of
material better than was elsewhere
available-was not based on facts. He
had ascertained that the removal Of
the machinery would not cost more
than $4,000 at the outside. Indeed, the
setting up Of an entirely new plant
somewhere else would not cost moro
than quarter OF the figure given by
Mr.. Boyd. When tenders were invited
for the plant. one OF less than 81 900
was considered too high. The presi.
dent secuted the idea that good roaf
metal could be procured nowhere with
As to removing the Asylum instead Of
the crushing outfit, he said such would
not be advisable for long time to
come. Answering a question he said
that blasting had not yet been resum-
ed, simply because there was enough
stone out to run ,..e crusher for few
days. In making these remarks DR..
Sloggett desired II emphasized that he
had not the slightest personal feeling
In the matter. I'VE are mere as the
guardians OF these people, he conclud-
cd, land I trust the members OF the
Board will authorize immediate pro-
ceedings to have this nuisance abated.
DR.. Cooper thought the difficulty
