At the request of Alderman Dunn
all tile ladies rose, and in earnest
gra.’-tful language plead the cause
they represented. Mrs. J. M. Cox,
with t'Otp.tuous loyalty to the city,
emphasized the fact that tne city
was in a splendidly clean condition,
but that the sewerage connection
vould materially improve health con
diilons. The ladies then retired and
the debate waxed eloquent and at
times became very heated. Practi

It was during this hot debate that

COMM AGAINST
HEALTH OFFICER
A very serious complaint was made
against the competency of Dr. D. G.
Bradley, the City Health Officer, and
a number of alleged cases of grave
negligence nr duty, etc., wero quoted.
The paper was signed by, Dr. M. M.
Johnson, Dr. K. P. Ixlar, Dr. T. J.
CarswCU, Dr. J. L. Walker, Dr. J.
T. Beaton, Dr. A. Fleming, Dr. Rip-
pard. Dr. Bradley entered a strong
reply, denying the correctness of the
statements, and charging ths|t the
entire matter was Inspired by politi

scenes of the character seen at our
council meeting last night are a re
proach to our city and should bo
strongly condemned.
Mayor Cox was suffering from se
vere sickness, and held out through
(he long six hours session with great
difficulty; his position Is a very try
ing one at the present time and ho
should be sustained by a thoughtful
conservative board, but Instead of re
ceiving assistance, It seems to be tbe
plan, of course, unthoughtedly of the
toard -to wrangle and dispute and
mnke the task of keeping thlnga go
ing straight as difficult as possible.
Without question, every member of
the Board Is absolutely honest and
sincere In their desire to promote the
v.iy best Interests of the city, there
is absolutely no doubt about that.
But the Interests and credit of the
city, demands better methods
transacMng the city buslnes and more
order and dignity In an oiaomblage
of such Importance.
