fever
DR.. S. ). Wade made report for
the committee appointed to inyesti-
gate the matter of appointing a bac-
teriologist to examine ssand report
upon the cause of fever. He has
been in communication with two or
three persons who might conduct
such an examination but nothing
definite as to the total cost of the
work has yet been learned. The
committee was continued to pursue
the subject further. 1t seems to be
the consensus of opinion that 1T
would be better to have the investi-
CATION made by man on the ground
their to send samples of water and
mill. away for analysis.
Oak Grove Cemetery Association
was directed to connect the drains
along the cemetery with the storm
sewer in street, and put in two drops
to carry off water. 1t is reported that
the Association has closed up the
drain in two places, by making en-
trance driveways, and the water is
thrown out into the street.

drains from the stable. The appli-
cation was:re-comnitted to the build

The order recently passed for 1900
ieet of sewering on Stewart street
was rescinded on being brought up,
and submitted to vote again. 1t
was contended that the cost of the
work is too great to be expended in
one small section of the city. The
council decided to 60 in a body on
Thursday of this week to visit the
place, and decide upon the amount
of sewering to be done. 1t appears
there would be no objection to lay
ing the 1000 feet of Is inch sewer,
which would cost probably
not much more than a thousand
dollars. The estimated cost of put
ting down all that was previously
ordered was between $4,000 an d
$4,000.

the present police force as sanitary

will continue the business. The
committee was continued with power
to act.
