measles within IL hours, this valuable
piece of evidence being the one strong
point to which the defense chung.
In answer, ]. c. Hurspool, attorney
for the city, stated that the state
statutes had nothing to do with a city
case and questioned the power Of the
defense to point out why mayor
should be enforced to appoint the
health officer when in reality he was at
he head of the city council and as
such, assumed it's responsibilities. He
also stated that the city ordinances
declare for a l. hour minimum In
which to report contagious diseases
and explained how DR.. Crop had been
over the prescribed "a hours limit or
the state, by four hours, his report
having been received by DIR. F'ales just
2S hours after the case was discovered.
When the case was turned over to
him for final settlement, Judge Nc
Kinney held thai the laws of the state
superseded the city ordinance and
that in mailing the report within "a
hours after discovery of the contagion,
the defendant had complied with the
provisions of the s. atutes; and further
that the reporting physician could not
be held responsible for delays incident
to delivery in the mails. Upon these
findings the judge saw fit to dismiss
the case.

Plans Formulated at Last Meeting Of

Gone Over Tonight.

journed session at 7:3O o'clock tonight
for the consideration of routine BUSH
ness. This is the date set for hearing
protests against the assessment levied
for macadamiZing certain streets pc
titioned for by property owners. No
remonstrances had been filed up to
noon, and it is thought there will be
no objections presented to the assess
ment roll as prepared and filed with
the council at the last meeting.
Petitions asking for the improve
ment of East Main street and Isaacs
avenue are being circulated among in
terested property owners this week
but it is not considered probable the
communications will be presented be-
fore next weeks meeting of the coun-
Gill; During the busy season of spring
the council will hold weekly meetings
in order that street improvement pro-
