Mrs. Weatherford Of the North Ho-

appeared before the council to enter
protest against the dog pound. which
is near her hotel The council, after
courteous attention, referred the mat
ter to Aldermen Temple and Evans
with power to act.

fore the council to protest against what
they termed the Indifferent methods
of the city physician. This delegation
was composed Of Mrs. R. X. Wootten,
president Of the association; Mrs. Co
ley vice president Mrs. William In
man and Mrs. Gilkey. The ladies, in
addition to detailing to some extent
the noble work they are doing for the
INDECENT sick of the city, enumerated
sundry instances wherein they thought
the city physician had failed to show
the proper interest; also they said be-
cause of this they had been compelled
to employ other medical assistance,
thereby accommodating debt Of $50.
DIR. Vann, the city physician, was
PRESENT and explained that the attend
ing physician must use ais own dis
erection in. such matters, realizing more
than anyone else the demands of the
patient; also that he could not always
neglect his other professional duties
for charity patients
Mayor Edwards pleased the delega-
tion by stating that he had advised the
doctor that it were better if possible
to call once too often, If he could spare
the time, than to neglect one.
