which he did. though saying that in his
opinion the members OF the board had
prejudged the matter. He stated that
the residents OF the Fifth district had
complained to him of the insanitary
conditions and bad roads, and he was
DESTROYS of giving relief if possible. The
only ray by which this could be done
was to reopen the z asylum stone
crusher and he was willing to assume
any conditions imposed by the board If
allowed 70 90 this Stone could be
hauled from this crusher at from fifty
to sixty cents per load. while at the
Mausoleum the cost would be s1.90 per
load.
Mr. Mott-Smith replied that the MEM
bers of the board were agreed on the
proposition that either the stone
crusher or the asylum must be moved.
and ii was simply a question of expe-
diency. He understood that the cost of
removal OF the crusher would be from
$1,000 to 5000. and il was impossible TO
do anything with the asylum for that
amount. But IN any event the welfare
OF the inmates outweighed any ques-
ton of expense, and he did not believe
the board should recede from its for
mer position. He said he wanted to
see the roads repaired. but not at the
DIR. Sloggett here inquired OF Mr..
Boyd what the cost of the removal OF
the stone crusher would be. 1T won't
exceed $3000.' was the reply.

location which would fill the bill"
added Mr.. Mott-Smith. I'm company
with the Governor 1 inspected it one

but around the mob OF the hin, so that
the sound will be carried away from the
asylum"
We'll. II the Governor has decided
upon a site. l don't suppose this re-
quest would have been made. 1 would
not have sent the letter at ALL
DR.. Cooper here moved that Mr..
Mott-Smfth be appointed as a commit
tee of one to show the proposed site to
the Superintendent OF Public Works.
Mr.. Mott-Smith objected. saying that
he had no time. and did not wish TO
instruct the Superintendent OF Public
Works as TO what should be done. as
the latter was getting paid for his work
anyway.
II intend to say" replied Boyd. an
Frily. that / am fully able TO do my
duty without the assistance OF Mr..
Mott-Smith. I know l am paid for my
work. but il the honorable gentleman is
not being paid for being a member OF
the Board of Health, he can resign IL
re wants to-"
With these words Mr.. Boyd left the
room, bowling to the President as he
went. Mr.. Isenberg said final DISPOSE
ton should be made OF the Superin-
tendent's letter. and DR.. Cooper re-
newed his motion for the appointment
of Mr.. Mott-Smith as a committee TO
show Mr.. Boyd the proposed site for
the crusher.
Dir. Mott-Smith replied that the To-
cation would not vanish. and that he
did not believe IL his line of duty 10

Public Works where the rock crusher
should be located, as the Department
OF Public Works was supplied with the
necessary maps and information TO as
certain these facts. He thought it i'm
proper 20 tell him where Il should be
located. The matter finally went over
upon a motion To lay the letter upon
the table. not To be taken Up excepting
