On motion of Dr Frost himself his bill was laid over until t;,e next meeting. President Lawlor was unwilling to approve Dr Keeley's bill for services during the months of March and April as assistant sanitary inspector. He thought as the board was given authority to appoint an as- sistant sanitary inspector by the board of aldermen until April F thit the board had no right to pay a person for serving in that capacity previous to that time. Dr Keeley said that there was large amount of work connected with the position and that if any per son could be found who would do it fer less than $75 month he was welcome to it. The bill was laid on the table until the next meeting.
