office was recognized and proper cooperation with vol

taught a lesson which should not he soon forgotten
II has taught among other things the importance Of
safeguarding public health and the folly Of toeratng in
competent or mpecunious methods in such important
branch Of civic affairs The epidemic Of course constituted
great and unforeseen emergency but that does not excuse
the vscillating and negectful in which it was
