From the Mayor.
Editor COurier.-

Editor Courier
Dear Sir:-I notice that last even
ings Courier enters into the question
of the appointments that am expect
ed to make in case of my election as
mayor, to the Office OF chief of police
and night captain. Realizing that the
positions named are perhaps the most
important that a mayor will be called
upon to fill, and that by reason of
their Importance the public has a
right to know who the appointees are
to be, l desire to say that l have no
hesitation whatever in announcing
that in the event of my election l
shall re-appoint both John w. Gray
and Peter Gallagher to the positions
now respectively held by them.
Yours very truly,
T.. H. Picker, Mayor.
More Figures on the Smallpox Cases
The United States daily army ration
per man consists of one pound flour
one pound fresh beef or three-quarters
of pound of pork, beans, rice, desic
Gated vegetables for soup, coffee, tea
pepper, salt, canned vegetables and
fruits. The ration is more than an av
erage man can consume and costs the
United States about 20 cents per ia
ton.
According to the record, the city
council issued in the smallpox cases
in groceries and provisions the equiva
lent of 21,500 rations. This would
keep a family of six persons for $500
months, nearly ten years; it would
supply twenty-five people about S6'
days, OF two and one-third years; j
would supply fifty. people for one ant
one-sixth years, or fourteen months
| continually.
AS Mayor Picklers grocery furnish
ed about one-third of the amount o
groceries, he therefore delivered gro
ceries sufficient to keep a family of 81:
! persons for over three years, or TWEEN
| ty-five people for 287 days.
Is it credible that the equivalent o
this number of people were fed for an.
such length of time? The question is
what became of the groceries?
