surface well drained To insure good
drainage the bitches should be kept
open, all distractions removed and a
smooth crown maintained. Except for
very stony soil the road machine or
scraper may be used very effectively
for this work. The machine should be
used once or twice a year and the work
should be done when the soil is damp
so that it will pack and bake into a
hard crust. Wide and shallow side
bitches should be maintained with
sufficient fall and capacity to dispose
of surface water. These bitches can
in most places be constructed and re-
paired with road machine.
All vegetable matter such as sods and
weeds should be kept out of the road
as they make a spongy surface which
retains moisture. Clods are also OBJ
jeetionable for they soon turn to dust
or mud and for that reason roads
should never be worked when dry or
hard. Boulders or loose stones are

CORONER'S JURY
RETURNS VERDICT
Testimony Is Heard Con
corning Fight Which Re
suited in Death.

That Lee Weddle came to his death
by means of blow on the left side of
his head with a bicycle pump held in
the hands of Albert Perkins, was the
verdict of the coroner's jury rendered
shortly after o'clock last evening after
lengthy examination.
Harry Havird, proprietor of the
Royal Messenger service and an eye
witness of the fight between Lee We'd
die and Albert Perkins in which Per-
kins struck Weddle with a bicycle
pump, fracturlng his skull, was the
principal witness at the coroner's in
quest. The testimony given by Havird
was to the effect that Weddle had come
to his office twice during the afternoon
of the trouble and had asked for money
and threatened to clean out the place
He testified Weddle was under the in
fluenee of liquor and that he came the
last time about 8 O'clock called Perkins
foul name and informed him that he
did not attend to a call for which he
paid him a dollar a few days previous
and then went over and struck Perkins
twice in the face. He testified that
Perkins told him to go away, that he
did not want any trouble with him and
that he then jumped off the table on
which he was sitting and grabbed the
bicycle pump and struck Weddle over
the head with it. dropping him to the
floor.
He stated that most of them left the
office at that time going to the cigar
store. but two people picked Weddle
up placed him in chair and put cold
water on his head and shortly after
wards he left the place.
Tells of Perkins Words.
my God what have l done: ] would
not have done that for anything; he
was my best friend" were the words
used by Perkins after having floored
| Weddle, according to the testimony
given by Jess Totterdell, a messenger
/ boy, an eye witness of the affair and
one of the parties who helped to pick
| Weddle up after he was floored. His
story of the fight was similar to the
one told by Havird, but he is the only
one who testified to Perkins having
! spoken after striking Weddle. Totter-
dell also testified that a physician was
called and that Weddle refused his SER

OFFICER A SALARY
Commission Discusses Plan to
Eliminate Special Fees for
Smallpox Gases.
BELIEVE $1,000 ENOUGH
Bill of Mrs. Harding, coIored, for
Nurse Hire, Again Turned
Down-craie's Voucher.

The matter of placing the salary of
the city health commissioner on a stip-
ulated basis was again discussed by
the members OF the city council yester-
day afternoon, and all seemed in favor
of the plan.
The matter came to the attention of
the council through a bill presented
by Mrs. Harding, colored, who was
forced to the detention hospital after
her 11-months old baby had become i'll
of smallpox. She presented a bill
for SIS for 10 days services as nurse
to her child, while in the hospital.
Some time ago Mrs. Charles McDon-
aid and Mrs. ]. a. wadde:l were al
lowed bills for services as nurse to
smallpox patients. Commissioner
Hart, however, reported unfavorable
to Mrs. Harding's claim, claiming that
the city installed a stove, provided
food, and isolated the mother and
babe from the rest of the hospital.
Commissioner Hart stated that It
was only the duty OF the mother to
care for the child.
Brings Up Claim.
This discussion brought up the mat
ter of the unpaid voucher OF S1,623 for
services in smallpox cases by DR.. G.
G.. Craig, city health commissioner.
Commissioner Hart asked the council
what 1t intended in the premises.
Several of the commissioners stated
that they were heartily in favor OF
placing the city health commissioners
job on a fiat basis.
During the discussion Commissioner
Rudgren stated that he did not believe
that when a person had several little
pimples on their face that three doc
tors should be called in and consulta-
ton held. He said that such cost the
city additional money.
Commissioners Hart, however, cham
pioned the present health commits
sioner.
Since all of the commissioners
seemed in favor OF the fiat basis plan
the question as TO the amount was
talked of. The general idea was that
81 900 per year would be sufficient.
May Have Ordinance.
It is likely that an ordinance provid-
ing for the elimination OF officers FOR
smallpox cases and putting the posi-
ton entirely on a salary basis Will be
presented to the council at the meet
ing next Monday.
