He said that measures for preventing the spread of this disease in this city could not be taken toe soon. The board are at present without means to use for this and something should be dove by the re Assembly to put them in funds. Itwasof the greatest import- ance, too, that the Boardof Health should enjoy the confidence, and bave the co-operation of THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS. Mr. Marbury said it seemed as if some of the members ot that board are inimical to this board, and he theught that they should work together.

The secretary Was called upon to state what the board had expended the past year, and after a cursory examination of the books he reported that the vaccination fund and the fund set apart for far- nishing the office of the board had been over- drawn. Dr. Cox remarked that the expendi- tures made by the board in consequence of an order of the Governor last summer in relation to sanitary measures had cost $8,700, together with the amounts before stated by the secretary. This should be refunded the board by the Legis- lative Assembly. Mr. Marbury’s moiion was carried. ‘The clerk stated that $350 had already been expended for VACCINE MATTER, which was above the amount be mart Mr. necessar; in case the small-pox became an Om pegerd De Bliss thought some measures should be taken to establish a small-pox hospital. Mr. Marbury said it was not worth while anticipating trouble. Should the disease ® toothold here the. it would be time enaugh to take action. ATTORNEY FOR THE BOARD. The clerk read a letter from Attorney General Akerman, in response to an to the board, asking his opinion whether or not the organié act gave the Board of Health an attor, ney, and, if not, who should act for them. The Attorney General declined to decide on the mat- ter. Mr, Marbury stated that he was opposed to asking the opinion ef the Attorney General in the first instance.
