President Adams acute mind last
might amounted TO /. great deal, when
the proposition of an appropriation of
$4,000 for the Health Departments
work in heading off the possible ad-
vent of infantile paralysis, came up
at the meeting of the Board of Alder
men.
Under the rules an appropriation OF
that figure could not be considered
within three days after its introduce
ton. So. in order to give DR.. Levy
and his department every facility for
chasing the disease germ, President
Adams suggested that the sum of the
proposed Appropriation be split. and
resolutions be offered, so that the
amount might be recommended, and
the body still be within the law. The
aldermen agreed with him.
So, instead of asking for an appro-
priation of $4,000. Alderman Fuller
introduced resolution asking for ST.
900. and President Adams introduced
"a resolution asking for 1909.
Both. under suspension Of rules,
were adopted.
