from committee meetings, but he denied
that such was the case and on the con-
trsy he had been at the City Hall every
Wednesday night but one since the or
eanization of Council, and on Wednes-
day night of this week they expected to
consider the ordinance, but Mr. Ross,
the chairman of the law committee, was

Mr. McCafferty said It would be
move for the preservation Of the public
health to make it possible for the colored
people to be vaccinated by a colored
physician
Mr. Lyons said it often happened that
when the vaccine physicians have to 90
into injected houses and vaccinate the
inmates they charge extra.
Mr.. Mc(iOvern said he did not think it
was the money side of the question that
worried the majority members, but it
was the happenings Of a few months ago,
evidently referring TO the voting for vac
cine physicians some time ago, when
colored physician failed of election.
Mr. Taylor said that was not his reason
Is he voted for the colored candidate.
A NECESSITY, SAYS PosTLEs.
Mr. Postles said he thought it was
recessity to have a colored physician.
Mr.. Cannon said one of the white
vaccine physicians had gone to him
and asked Him to vote for a colored
vaccine physician, as he did not want
me colored people running into his
house TO be vaccinated.
Mr. Postles said the growth of the
cly demands another physician, and
when the city increases in size the ex-
Penses OF the city must increase accord
ngly
Mr., Lynch said he thought it would
pe well to have a colored vaccine ply
slcian, and, if necessary, he would vote
70 reduce the number of white ones.
Mr.. Lyons asked why the Democratic
members if they wanted a colored
PHYSICIAN so badly, did not vote
ior one when he was nominated at the
regular election.

nance was then taken, with the above
result.
