At a meeting of the board of health last night Mr. Langston, from the ordinance commitice, made & report on the matter of filling up lots of ound covered with stagnant water aud con- mned bythe board as a nuisance, He re- commended that a contract be made with Wm. Bowen tor filling up all such lots, and that he be authorized to collect the expenses from the owners, the board reserving advisory decision of the same; adopted. He ‘aleo made a report on the subject of attorney for the board, that he hed communicated wit hp Fisher and Mr. Harrington in relation to their caus betore the courts, snd had been informed that these geu- tlemen consider it thelr duty, as counsel for the government, to prosecute or defend their cases in both the criminal and civil courts, or to give advice when called upon, under their contract made with the board some time ago for the com- i en-ation of $500 per annum as agreed upon. Inconnection with this subject he submitted @ letter from Judge Fisher, saying: ‘That as counsel for the board of health, Mr. Harri 2 and myself hold ourselves bound to give advice to the and its officers,and alse t appear and defend in sach suits ad may be brought, by or against the board. As to~cases in the police court, for the abatement of nuisances, these are | Brosecuted by me in my official capacity as at Distriet of torney of the United for the of Cotum- bia, and not in anywise as counsel for the board.

Verdi stated that the attorney who prose. entes District cases in the police coart had in- formed him that he ¢id'nt consider himself in duty bound to attend to the business of the board or health in that court without he gotextra pay for it. Mr. Langston was opposed to employing the iy other attorney repeat, simply attorney for the Distriet or an: while the contract with Judge Fisher and Mr. Barrington was pending. Dr. Verdi thought these gentlemen should tend to their cases in the poiice court themselves and not delegate the duty to any other persons. He did not think Mr. Uioss a suitable person at ail, as it seemed to him that he was prejudiced against t'e Loard and ali its employees.

Mr. Langston said be assumed that Mr. Closs | Wasa man of ability and well qualified to 11 the place he occupies, otherwise Messrs. F and Harrington would not employ him. He thought him a talented man, and it was not to be expected of him to defend any criminal it was his duty to proseeute.
