CHRIS E. SILVER
SUFFERS RELAPSE
City Engineer Has Been Serious.
ly I'll For Last I2
Days.

For the last twelve days, Chris F..
Silver, City Engineer, who recovered
in the latter part of January from a
severe attack OF grip and bronchitis,
has been dangerously i'll at his homo
on West Broadway following a re-
lapse suffered after he had returned 10
his work.
Last night at the Silver home. it
was said that he is slowly regaining
his strength and his recovery is ex-
pected to be complete within few
weeks. He probably will not be able
to do heavy work for several weeks,
however, on account of the weakened
condition Of his whole body.
Mr.. Silver first became seriously
sick on Dacembrr 81, last, when he
was confined to his bed with an attack
of grip and cold that threatened pneu-
monia. For several days his condition
was critical.
His condition was made more dam
gerous by u general nervous break
down that he suffered at the time he
was confined to i.is bed with the grip.
He had been working hard all fall and
the early part Of the winter on the
field work of the new West End sewer
project, and the physicians hold the
strain of that work responsible for his
weakened condition.
Toward the middle of January. lie
began recovering his strength and
shortly before the end Of the month,
he was allowed to go to his Office. He
tooka great deal of his work home,
were he conducted the calculations up
on the sewer project.
Simultaneous with his illness, his
doctors told Mr.. Silver that it would
be necessary for him to relinquish al;
his church and social work.
When he was allowed to leave his
home, he became interested in the Elks
Club minstrel show and was prevailed
upon to act as interlocutor on nc
nights that the show was given in ear
ly February.
After that he went to the levee 10
do some work in preparing plans anil
specifications for the repaving work
that must be done on Water strees
where the wood blocks We're nOated
away by the January high water.
After he had completed this work,
he was preparing to aid City Counsel
lor 0. A. Knehans in drawing the nee
cssary ordinances for widening and
improving the West End streets in
preparation for the sewer work.
As he was beginning this work, tn"
relapse occurred and he was confined
to his bed. Before the relapse o.
Cured, Mr.. Silver was in good health
and his physicians declared that tic
rest he obtained had put him in better
condition than he had been in for sew
eral months.
