START THIRD
WARD PAVING

A thoroughly representative
meeting of property owners of the
Third ward was held in the NUM-
cipal courtroom last night. 1t was
agreed that all of the western part
of the city should be paved, but
whether with oileroid or asphalt is
a question left to a decision of a
committee.
Two committees to be appointed
by the chairman were provided.
The first, which is to include Coun-
cilmen Lambert and Schiller, is to
consult with the city engineer on
estimates and specifications; the
second is to decide upon the char
acter Of the paving. Both oileroid
and asphalt had friends there.
Councilman Schiller explained
that he had called the meeting be-
cause it was time the city had
more paving. J. F. Sexton was
elected chairman.

BEST TIME THEY
EVER HAD

Ten thousand picnickers enpoyed
the Grocers' association hospitality
yesterday, and with all stores of
any consequence closed, proprietors
and employees off to enjoy them
selves, everyone else who wasn't
busy wnt along and did the thing
up right Natatorium park was the
scene of many colors and typical
picnic parties. baskets and all.
Teams from the City and Amateur
leagues played ball, and various
athletic events were pulled off.
The principal event was tug of
war between six men and IL
women. Of course the women won,
to their great glee. Each was pre-
scented with prize OF four jars of
pickles.
The next event was six women
against six other women in another
tug of war, and the winners were
given two jars Of syrup apiece.
An amusing event was a cracker
eating contest in which all the
loose kids in town participated.
Those who stuffed their pockets in
stead of their mouths were dis
qualified. Several almost choked,
but nevertheless, they stuck to the
job. Three were declared winners.
TIL price for the winner of the
100 yard dash for women was 100
bars of soap Other events were a
race, sack race, 100
yard dash and fat mems race.

1t has prevented an epidemic and
that the price is not exorbitant for
that. There has been more small
pox brought into the city than any
body outside the heath board knew
anything about. and the patients
had to be cared for in the manner
most certain to prevent contagion.
That has been done, and the board
feels that no apologies are due for
the expenditure. A majority of the
sick cared for would have suffered
extremely otherwise, and the public
would have been subjected to ex-
posture that must have resulted in a
far heavier bill for taxpayers to pay
individually, as well as a setback
for the city in the matter of reputa-
ton abroad.

PUT CONSERVATIVES
ON CITY HALL ROOF

SEATTLE, June ia plan to
have a municipal solarium estab-
lished on the roof of the new city
building at Fourth av. and Yesler
way, has been taken up officially by
the members of the King County
Medical society.
The scheme as proposed is to
have the city take charge of the
venture. 1t is urged that the
municipality could easily establish
100 cots on the roof of the struc-
ture, which IS now nearing COM
pletion, these cots to be rented to
persons afflicted with tuberculosis
at a very nominal sum, and in Sc
doing not only aid in effecting
cures. but eliminate much of the
danger of spreading the disease.

HOSPITAL COST
HAS SAVED
EPIDEMIC

Owing to an agitation that has
been started over the expense bill
of the Spokane health department
for the past year, DR.. Grieve this
morning canvassed the 40 cases at
the isolation hospital to learn what
per cent of them could pay the cost
of keeping them there. Of this
number but three admitted that
they were able to pay, and these
declared that they would not.
There are now 80 cases of small.
pox. four of measles, three of
diphtheria and one of scarlet fever
at the isolation hospital. In order
to guard against a possible cpl
demic the board of health last fail
adopted the policy of removing all
contagious cases to the hospital at
once, regardless of whether the
patient were able to pay his ex-
penses. In following this course
the board assumed the expense of
care, that course preventing protest
or delay in handling the diseases.
Not 10 per cent of the cases could
have been collected upon anyway,
and the board had no time to waste
in quibbling of trying to find out
where the money was coming from.
The majority of smallpox cases
were lumberjacks and persons from
out of town with little or no re-
sources. The only alternative was
to shut up the lodging house where
they were found and take chances
on the disease getting beyond
bounds. That would leave the
patient to the mercy of whoever
might be willing to care for him for
nothing and the burden of the ex-
pense and inconvenience on pri-
vate parties not properly subject to
the responsibility
Councilman Dalke is urging the
enforcement of his ordinance re-
quiring that all isloation patients
who can pay be required to do so.
The board was never served with
copy of the ordinance and did not
know of its existence. Now what
the board wants is for Councilman
Dalke to suggest some method of
forcing payment. If the few who
can pay will not, are they to be
turned out to spread disease?
There are the three patients at the
hospital now that the councilman
might experiment with along that
line.
If quarantine is to be relied upon
solely it will mean that most of
the lodging houses and many resi-
dences will be closed one time or
another.
1t is true that $4,000 has been
expended on the isolation hospital
this year, but the board figures that
