Vroog, we don’t know which. We do know,
however, that the eternal “luss at fires’’
destroys more property in tho long run than
the fire itself. It is a very easy matter for
a fire company to do, unnecessarily, han
dreds of dollars worth of damago by flood
ing houses, in close proximity to burning
butldiugs, with water; spoiling expensive
carpets, etc.; and it is also very easy for
thorn to pull down valuable fruit cr shade
trees, and costly fences, trample down
dower beds and gardeu productions, run
riot through houses in squads, and do many
other things unnecessarily —all of which
costs hundreds of dollars. The firemen do
net have to pay for damages thus put upon
owuers ot property, consequently they are
not as careful as they might be sometimes.

Augusta, ©a., Feb. 4, 1868.
To the Ilonornhte the Mayor and City Council of
Auyneta :
Uestlekes—At a recent meeting of the Fa
culty of the Medical College of Georgia, the
undersigned were appointed a Committoe to
report to the city authorities the condition of
the Dispensary at the Collego, and to solicit a
renewal of the contract establishing the same,
which will expire on the lsr of March next.
The Committee have, accordingly, carefully
examined the records, and bog leave to report as
follows; The Institution has worked well,and to
the satisfaction of all parties, conferring mutual
beneGts on the City and College. It is the
general opinion that the poor havo been more
liberally supplied with medical services and
medicines than formerly, and at much less ex
pense. The number of prescriptions filled at the
Dispensary during the past six months has been
3,764, of which 855 were for the Policlinic ; 2,909
for outside physicians. The cost of medicines
thus far has been $1,054 28, heiug at the average
of $175 per month. The expenses have been
unexpectly increased in consequence of the un
precedented epidemic ot malaria! fevers which
attacked tho city early in the summer, and the
effects of which wero felt far into the winter
months. It has now ceased, and the expenses
for the month of January show a consequent
decrease of one-half, compared with preceding
months. This decrease will continue until mid
summer. so that it is confidently expected the ex
penses will not much, if at. all, exceed tho origi
nal estimate, ills Committee, therefore, respect
fully submit the claims of the Faculty lor a
renewal of their contract.
The Committee aave beeu credibly informed
that the Hospital established by the Frccdmen’s
Bureau is about to be turned over to the city
authorities. Should their information bo cor
reet, and iu view or tbs great value of the
material of that institution for clinical purposes,
tho Faculty would like to contract with Council
for its medical services, subject in ail respects to
the regulations now governing the City Hospital.
The Faculty would appoint one of their number
to perform the services for one year, subject to
the rest as a consulting board. For these ser
vices they would claim compensation at tho rate
of S6OO per annum. The Committee believe that
tho most efficient service would be thus secured
in the mest economical manner.
Respectfully,
F.dv.med Gkdiung
Hesuv F. Campbell,
Com. on Dispensary.
The following communication from the
Fire Wardens, was received and reierr <1 to
the Committee on Engines, with pow- r to
act:
Augusta, Feb. 7 i SOS.
To the Honorable the Major and Member* of the
City Council of Augusta :
Gesti.e.vkn —The undersigned would ro peot
fully call the attention of your hooorabl. body
to the cellar doors attached to the Kcr buildings,
on the corner of Broad and Jackson streets. As
at present constructed they are a serious ob
struction in the way of Engines going to fires,
being so much raised abovo the sidewalks the
Engines are liable to ho overturned and damaged,
unless considerable care is used, which is not
often thought of when firemen are going to a
fire. Wo would therefore recommend that the
owners of the property he required to take th m
down, and make them comply with the City
Ordinance.

and resolution, which were adopted;
Wit rheas, Certain persons renting stalls

fees in the Market House, giving for
reason that as they pay stall rent the
weighing fees ought not to be required of
them; and whereas the Clerk of the
Lower Market asks for instructions in
relation to this matter, it is hereby
Resolved, That it is not the intention or
meaning of the ordinance Regulating

tlie Low Market shall be allowed to sell

pork on commission, without paying scale
and other fees, and the Clerk of the Lower

To His Honor the Mayor and City Council :

Walton, for tha sum of five hundred dollars,
also for Sohoel purposes; all of said lots to be
leased to the agents of tha Frasdmeu’s Bureau,
sad la tha event that tha purposes for which
said lots are leased shall oaase, then said lots
shall revert to tha City.
Wa therefore recommend that lias lionor. the
Mayor, be hereby instructed to issue a check on
the Colloetor and Treasurer, to George Walton,
for the amount of the purchase money for the
above-mentioned lots.
Respectfully submitted.
