TELLS, RESTAURANTS, ETC.
Ordinance Was to Have Been Read
Last Night But was Deferred un.
I'll Later Session of Alder =
manic Body.

A far-reaching ordinance on the
council calendar might have produced
extended commotion in the city coun-
ell at the regular session last night
but for the fact that its introduction
was deferred because OF other press
ing business before 1t which left it
over until the special meeting Of
July II.
The ordinance Is fathered by Al
derman DR.. Ellis, of the First ward,
vino is president of the Board OF
Health, and 1t prohibits any persons
from being employed about hotel
kitchen, restaurants or other. pla=cs
where foods are served or where they
might come In contact with foods or
drinks, who are afflicted with any
contagious or other disease possible
to be passed on to others non-in-
fected through any source.
The possibilities of the extent OF
the ordinance are many. In most of
the hotels, boarding houses and res
taurants, hordes of employees are
from the ranks of persons more or
less prohibited in this ordinance, VINO
are here for various treatments, but
who are usually taking the baths reg
ularly, and are not considered dam
gerous in contact of any form in the
general acceptance of the term.
The city garbage ordinance came
in for some strenuous talk in the
council meeting. but the contract was
finally approved by the council as be-
tween the city and the Hot Springs
Sanitary Company. Former Chief
Frank Moore was the bidder who did
not get the contract, and he expressed
himself last night before the council
as of the belief that his had been the
lowest bid, and that he had not been
treated fairly in the matter.
Mayor Waters made a plain and
positive talk on the subject, stating
that his action as a member of the
board of public affairs in awarding
the contract as it -as awarded had
been on the ground of merit, and that
he he had had used used his honest Judgment in
the matter after a ull and deliberate
investigation of the rival bids, and
that he was for the contract being
awarded to the most advantageous
bidder for the city in every partic-
|ular.
