OF the building.
Capt. Geo. Stuart mounted the lad

ately upon the heels Of the suggestion
OF Mayor Burton that for the time

speaking against the measure among
whom we're Ea Evans and J. L. Car
ter. The latter called attention to the
small pox epidemic that the city pass
through some two years ago, when he
said it scared business away from
Chickasha to all the surrounding
towns. Mr. Carter closed his re-
marks by saying, Il believe in econo-
my but believe in spending money
for good health. Good health first,
money second, for with good health,
one can make money but a sick man
is helpless

onded by Driggers, that the office Of
city physician be retained, and that
