ing Special Sanitary Inspectors.

Mayor Thompson today vetoed
the resolution introduced by
Councilman Eardley on Monday
night providing for dispensing
with the services of the five spe-
cial sanitary inspectors appointed
by authority Of the council on
Sept 2. The first reason why
the mayor refused TO sanction the
action of the council ~ because
the men were appointed to serve
until Jan. / 1904, and not merely
at the pleasure Of the council.
The second reason Is because the
health commissioner has advised
the mayor that the men are doing
excellent work In freeing the city
from contagious diseases and
that they should be retained, The
mayor accordingly states In his
veto that he would deem II un-
wise for the city to dispense with
the services Of the five men at
this time.

other matters passed upon by the
