HOSPITALS VA. BCTOOLS, The Council took up the roport of the Com- mittes on Schoola recommending the pur- thaso of a achool site on tho northeast corner of Wood and Harrlaon streets. A remonatrance was read againat the location pf achool building there because the now County Hospital was to be built upon the adjoin- tng block. Ald, Hildreth divelt at some length upon tho grave danger of school children catching tho tmall-pox from the adjacent Hospital. Ald, Clarke, of the Fifth, who had signed the report, said bo was now disposed to yote against It because of tho near location of tho Iospital. Ald. Campboll characterized Ald, Hildroth's mmall-pox bugaboo as ‘ali bosh,” saying that it was against the law to admit emall-pox patients to hospitals iocated in the aty. Ie know that if thia site were yoted down, another site, still nearer to the Hospital ground, would bo bought, AM, Clark, of the Tonth, presented a propo- ution from A. C, Millard, to sell a lot 2ijox125 foot on Wood etreet, betwoen Congress and Mar- tinon streets, for $70 por front foot, ‘ Ald, Hildreth insisted that stnall-pox pation! were Komotimes taken to hospitals by mistake, Ald. Clark, of the Tonth, moved to refer tho whole matter back to the Buard of Education, Ald. Caso said that tho proximity of the Hos- pital bad been carefully considered by the Board of Education, and that tho school-building would bo about 800 fect from tho Hospital. Moe had not yet learned that any ono in tho Thirteonth Ward was opposed to tho location of tho school at that point, : Ald. Hildreth enid tho reason tho Thirteenth Ward Alderman had heard of no objections, was because their constituents know thom to be com mitted to the schome, and therefore looked for todreys to Aldermen from other wards. Ald. Cullerton was on hand with still another proposition to soll a lot 226 foct on York stroey by 150 feet on Wood street aud Hermitaco av- snus, Hoe favored the roforence of the matter back to the Committoo on Schools. Ald. Campbell resented Hildroth’a hint that the people of the Thirtnanth Ward had to go to Aldormen from the Lighth to get redross. It it were true that thero was gront danger from ostilonco, the wholo city would rite up and forbid tho location of s hospital in their midst, This argument would do for Hottentots, but not for intelligent people. Ald. Itichnrdeon called attention to tho fact that tho Hospital would be located duo gouth- weat of the school sito, and ho anticipated much mischief from the provailing southwest winds, This atono was cnough to damn the proposition. Ald. Cooy thought there was room ouough in the Thirteenth Ward,to get out of reach of tho Mospital. Ald, Schaffner gavo tho best reason of all against the proposed location—that of conwil- sration for the sick patiouts in tho Hospital, to whom the noise of tho schuol-children would be unendurable. ‘The whole subject-matter was roforrod back to the Board of Education, : THE TAX ORDINANOR, Tho Counojl took up the tax ordinance ro- p rted by the Finance Committe last week, and published in Tite LTumune. Ald, Hildreth moved yarious amondmonts, all for tha purpose of postponing two months be- youd tho dates sot forth in tho ordinance tho timo for making roturn and ordering tho sale of property for dolinquent taxes. He snpportod > tho ameudmonta by a specch in which fe ple- tured in ravishing colors the splendid condition © of the municipal flnouces, saying that, 0 far from Chicago's-being on the vorgo of bank- ruptey, tho city's papor commanded a promium of 119 per cent, Ald. Cultorton called attention to tho fact that the pussage of the ordinance would reault in postpouing the building of sewore for another year, whilo the poople would have to pay tha mauey. now, He hoped the amendment would Prevail, ‘Tho voto on Ald. HiNroth'’a amendments was as follows ; Yeaa—Foley, Warren, Coey, Clarke of the Fifth, Sommer, Cullertou, MoOlory, Mildroth, McDunult, O'brien, Clark of the Tenth, White, Gunderson, Camp bell, Cleveland, Eckhardt, ‘stunt, Mahr, Muephy, Sweeney, Dickiuson, Jones, Corcoran, Dixon—24, Nayr—lichatdson, Stone of tho Fourth, ailey, Woodman, Heath, Quirk, Ryan, Schatlnor—9, A motion to waive engroswpout waa lost, and. the ordinance was roferred for engrossment. NOATH AVENUE HONSE-NALLWAY, Tho engrosued ordiuance for 9 horge-railway track on West North avenuo was passed by & Yoto of 80 to ¥, Ald. McDonald, O'Bricu, and White voting in the negutive, Bubsequentiy it was discovered that the count was orroncons, and that the ordinance received but 29 altirma- five votes, Upon this account the vote was reconsidored, and tho ordinance was made the special ardor for bext Monday ovaning.
