Or. Chaplin will present to the board OF
aldermen at it's next meeting. 1 was
looking for a particular thing in that re-
port-for something which Is popularity
known as the Dead Horse Monopoly
which monopoly was introduced to the
board of aldermen on DIR, Chapln's rec
concentrations. and carried through
rushed through would be a better way TO
put r-without one dissenting voice.
Is not the matter OF sufficient impor-
tance to even deserve mention, or has Dr.
Chaplin another reason for keeping IL In
allowance? Garbage is mentioned. 30 IL
swine: hog receive one small, kind word,
and meat. Ash and vegetables are nom
ored by an abbreviated notice; but the
horse. Nne noble friend and honest slave
of man. the board OF health buries out
OF sight. without even one requiem SOTO.
In may he that Dr. Chaplin is ashamed
OF his part In the creation or monopoiy'
which instead of being a benefit TO tho
health or the city. was an 'injury'--if he
isn't he ought To be---and every alder
man who voted for IL ought also to be
ashamed of themselves or II may be
