Dr. Brunner said that the cit izens of the State were constantly men aced with possible eDidemics that might spread from some of the infected coun ties because of the fact that no report of it was made, and the physicians in one county did not have any idea of the disease in the county next or wheth- < ” visitors were not bringing smallpox, meningitis or a number of diseases.

Mayor Woodward Saturday made public a vto on the resolution of the City Council providing for a special committee to inspect the new fire alarm system, with a view to agree ing upon a purchase price which contains an ultimatum to the Okinite Company of New' York, which bui:t the system. “I can see only three ways for that ! company to attemp to secure any | standing whatever. One of these ! would be the mandamusing of me t*» | make me sign checks in payment of that contract. Under the .Supreme Court’s decision I see no chance of success for them along that line. An other way open to them is to bring individual suit against different me i- bers of the General Council that went on record as voting for that contract in 1912. The law is very clear on that line. The next and surest way of ending this matter would be to r»- fer the matter to the people to be voted upon as a bonded indebtedness. Under the last-named mode of pro cedure, I would very heartily ap prove. “If the people feel disposed to vote that his matter be paid full amount, it will meet with my hearty acqui escence. Until one of these three courses have been determined satis factorily, or the price of that plant materialy reduced. I shall pay no fur ther attention to this matter. I shall refuse to sign any checks in payment until some satisfactory legal course has been arrived at. “I am absolutely opposed to the plant as it exists, on acc-oun of its excessive expense to the city in ma nipulating the alarm system, and also T regard that the price is excessive by the reason of all parties being aware when the contract was entered into that it was illegal and was of long payments on the installment plan, and naturally, from a business standpoint, would carry an inflated price. Besides the excessive price of this plant, it is well know that It on’v covers the old city limits, and no where enters into the newly acquired territory." NEWBERN, N.
