CITY ASKED TO
PAY FOR GUARD

Mayor Zimmerman presented 10 the
Board of Public Works. Monday morn
ing, summons for the city of Rich
mond to appear in circuit court.
March 6, to answer a complaint OF
Sheriff Clement V. Carr. asking that
the city reimburse him for s112.5O
which he spent for a guard to look
after Mack Harsh. while in the pest
house with smallpox. The matter was
referred to City Attorney Robbins.
At the time Harsh was being held
in the Jail, awaiting trial for involun-
tary manslaughter of his wife, he con-
tracted the smallpox and was placed
in the pest house. A guard was plac-
ed over him. The city attorney
claimed that the matter did not in
anyway belong to the city but should
be paid by the county as the guard
was placed there that he might not es
cape trial and not because of his
having the smallpox.
On motion of John E. PeltZ the
board allowed grocery bills for quar-
antined smallpox victims amounting
to $2l701
City Clerk Stevens was ordered to
advertise for bids for a new street
oiler.
