DR.. John L. Meeker and Miss Edith
Riley were ousted from their posi-
tions as medical director and super
intendent of the tuberculosis SAM
tarium at Verona yesterday, when the
Board of Health at a special meeting
abolished the positions and created
a bureau of tuberculosis, with DR..
Thomas N. Gray, of East Orange as
the temporary head.
His salary will be SO, 900 a year, and
he will be assisted by an inferno, who
will be paid $75 a month and board,
and night watchman, who will be
paid $40 a month and board. Addi-
tional nurses may be appointed later.
The city dispensary, the various
clinics and the field work in relation
to the disease will be under the super
vision of pr. Gray also.
DR.. Meeker, who lived at the sani-
tarium, received a salary of l514
and maintenance. Miss Rileys salary
was $1,000 and maintenance, and two
maids received 1884 ana maintenance
each.
Owing TO the regulations of the
Civil Service Commission the COM
missioners could not make DR.. Gray's
appointment permanent. DR.. Teimer,
who is chairman of the committee in
charge of the hospital. stated today
that he has made arrangements with
the Civil Service Commission for a
special examination to be held in the

dislodge Dr. Gray from his berth, as
the commissioners will be forced to
choose from one of the first three
successful candidates.

ranged at the instance of DR.. Teimer,
whose committee held q session at
the Board of Health rooms on We'd
nesday hight. AT that time the
changes we're discussed and then it
was announced that the full board

Postal cards telling OF the special
meeting were mailed to commission
ers late Wednesday night, and were
received by the first mail yesterday
morning.
DR.. Theodore Teimer, chairman of
Board of Health, said that the action
was taken largely because neither DR..
Meeker nor Miss Riley were to be
found when he and DR. Daniel l.. Nc
Cormick visited the institution
Wednesday, but DR.. Meeker said that
DR.. Teimer knew that Dr. Meeker
was attending to his duties at the
clinic in Newark on Wednesday.
DR.. Meeker was notified personally
of his suspension from duty as medi-
cal director, but Miss Riley, who was
said to have been away from the
sanitarium since last Sunday night,
