ing the thanks of the city for his faith
full services during his fourteen years
of connection with the department and

H / Latham & Co. petitiOned for pri-
vilege to change a partition within the
fire limit and it was decided that it
could only be done by resolution watch
resolution the applicant was directed TO
prepare and present later.
\ communication was read from the
board of supervisors calling attention
to the fact that the county hospital
steward and physician were put .
much trouble in the handling of cases
that they believed really belonged to
the city alone and asking that the city
officers be instructed to follow the law
more closely. This brought up the gen.
eral subject of the city health board.
1t was explained that under the law the
city health officer was not really a city
physician and at the present low salary
il could not be expected that he would
attend to all the charity practice in the
city though he willingly responds to
such calls as come from the Jail. His
chief business is to look after the san
itary condition of the city. The mar
shall explained that at present it is very
unsatisfactory for the night police who
sometimes need a physician and wher
they do they need him quickly, while
there is really no provision for paying
him for his services. Various sugges-
lions were made but no action was tax
en- and the health officer being called
away at the present time, professionally
was not there to explain the situation
from his standpoint. The marshal in
cidentaIly called attention to the fac
that some provision should be made
for the care of INDECENT sick or for {
pest house in the event of an epidemic
There is no need of one just now bu
such a need may arise any day. TIL
marshal and chairman of the street an.
alley committee were made a specia
committee to see if an arrangement
could be made with the supervisor
for such a contingency in case of al
epidemic or if not to recommend SOM
other action.
H. H. Creighton presented a lette
to the mayor saying that he held
permit from a former council to erect
wagon scale at III East Jefferson stree
He had not acted upon it and he de
sired to know if the permit was still
good or would he be required to ge
another as he was now DESTROYS of put
ting up the scale. The mayor wa
made a committee to inquire into tn
circumstances and report at the mex
meeting.
