The city hall was thrown into
a futter this morning by the re-
port that spread through the
building of a pestilence case In the
health Office.
"Small-pox." said one, "scarlet
fever" said another, and clerks
in the various offices began look
ing toward the doors with idea OF
getting out of the building.
Health Commissioner Sargen-
| itch diagnosed the case as diph-
iberia and measles. 1t was q
malignant case and with no place
to put the patient and the doors
of all the hospitals closed to him.
the health officer came to sud-
den determination to open a city
hospital, whether the council likes
1t or not.
About 1890 o'clock young
man named Sims from one of the
lodging houses walked into the
health Office of the city hall. He
was sick and DR. Sargenticn at
once discovered that 1t was a case
of contagion
DIR. Sargentich attempted to get
the man into hospital but they
all refused to take him. They
said they would take no more
city cases because the council will
not pay the bills. This left Sar-
gentich in a bad predicament and
he appealed to City Attorney Bak-
er, who dug up an old ordinances
which authorizes the health board
to establish a city hospital. Im-
mediately the health commissions
er started out to get the board to-
gether to take action.
The health commissioner has
been at loggerheads with the
council for several weeks. There
has been considerable contagion
in the city and he has had to take
care of It. Having no hospital
he sent some cases to the Fannie
Paddock hospital. Then the city
refused to pay the bills. Two
we're turned down Wednesday
night for over 500 for Fannie
Paddock hospital. The other hos
pitfalls refused to take the cases at
all.
To make matters worse the
council recently passed an ordi-
nance providfnp that the health
officer NAV only employ nurses
latter getting permission from the
council. AS the council is ievev
In session when the contagious
cases ap pear the doctor has no au-
thority to employ nurses. Further
he was limited to paying 81 a day
which is less than any nurse will
serve for.
The commissioner has repeat
ed1y called the attention OF the
council to the conditions In the
city but the council has paid no
Intention to his recommendations
Ills Letters are not even read.
With the case Of contagion bol
tied up In his Office this mornln}
the doctor concluded things bad

attorneys what to do and they
told him to 60 establish city hos
pital. An old ordinances giyeo
this authority and the health COM
missioner says he will do Il ana
not wait any longer ON the ecun-
ell.
The attorneys say the city win

that the city will be sued and Will
