SMALLPOX SITUATION.
Considerable More Money Required to
Cope with the Disease.

The smallpox cases continue to Increase.
DR.. Buehler. city sanitarian. believed sew
eral weeks ago that the epidemic had been
checked and that the first special appro-
priation made by Council would be suf-
ficient TO meet quarantine and other ex-
penses- He soon discovered that the 50 600
would be little more than drop in the
bucket and that an additional appropria tion
would be necessary. An ordinance will be
introduced next Monday night providing
for an appropriation of S3.Go0, but the
Health Board is inclined 10 believe that this
amount will hardly meet the expenses be-
fore the epidemic is rooted out The de-
artment owes at present l,000 of the
amount TO be raised by the new appropria-
ton. and IL is stated that few weeks will
exhaust the remainder. DR.. Buehler fears
that the worst Of the epidemic may come
IN March and April since previous ex-
perience has shown that smallpox is more
prevalen. IN these months.
Three new cases were reported 10 the
board yesterday. They are those of Rollie
Wick. white. who lives at Coo South Illinois
street; Peter Hall. colored. who lives at
