Department Of Health Asks the COun-
Gil for MOney-Other Munici-
pal Affairs.

After the Mayor signs Councilman War
weg's "unhitching' ordinance. providing he
does so, marketers may keep their horses
in the shafts at the markets until o'clock
In the morning. The ordinance recently
passed prohibiting keeping animals
at all in the market precincts
was amended by the Council last
night by passing Warwegs ordi-
nance permitting them to remain until 9
o'clock. This is regarded as within the
reasonable regulations suggested by the
mayor in vetoing Warweg's ordinance re-
pealing the prohibitory ordinance.
The department of health asked 5000 for
the contagious disease fund last night and
$500 to pay an assistant milk inspector. An
ordinance fixing the compensation of the
drug clerk at the dispensary at $50 month
along with one less inferno and devote the
pay of the other to a drug clerk now
deemed necessary official
The ordinance granting the National NAL

switch track across Michigan street in
Haughville was passed. The ordinance APP
propriating $1,000 to buy a burglar proof
vault for the controllers office and charg
ing the name of Elm avenue to Irvington
avenue were also passed.
Councilman Negley introduced an ordi-
nance making it the duty of the city clerk
to send certified copy of all penal ordi-
nanceS to the superintendent of police.
Some councilmen regard the ordinance
superfous, as the penal ordinances are all
printed before they become effective.

Seventy persons met death by violence
and ten by suicide in Indiana during the
month of February, according to statistics
given out yesterday from the office of the
secretary of the State Board of Health.
This is a reduction of thirty-nine from the
total number of deaths by violence and
suicide during January.
The State Board of Health, in its monthly
bulletin issued yesterday, scores the recent
Legislature for failure to provide for a
commission to investigate the situation
regarding consumptives. Tuberculosis is
a preventable disease" says the bulletin.
1T caused 4,745 deaths in Indiana in 1902
and made 2,S0S orphans. The annual money
loss due to the disease is over s., coo, 900; yet
in the face of all this it was impossible
even to get resolution through the last
Assembly to appoint commission to in
quire into the matter and report what &C
ton seemed best in the premises.
Had all this havoc been wrought by
wolves the whole State would be I'D in
arms against them. Why permit the wolf,
consumption, to go on it's destructive way?''
