Heretofore the authority of the Board of Health has been limited in such cases. If a man suffering from any con- taglous dise: refused to move, he could not be forced to leave his home. Dr. Ward explained in detall to the committee what was desired and why such an ordinance was deemed expedi- ent. He said that the Health Depart- | ment did not wish to be arbitrary, but | that there are certain cases where the welfare of the entire community Is con- cerned. . “All we will do,” he sald, “is this: When a physician diagnoses a case as tuberculosis, pneumonia or any of the well-known contagious diseases, he will report to the Board of Health.

CELEBRATION OF FOURTH COSTS FIFTY-ONE LIVES Hospitals Treat_ One Thousand | More Injured than They Did i | in Any Previous Year. CHICAGO, July 6.—Fifty-one lives thrown away and 3551 celebrants | maimed or injured, some of them fa- tally, is the record of this year's “glo- rious” Fourth, as compiled by corre- spondents of the Tribune up to an early hour today. The loss of life almost equals that of | last year, when fifty-nine persons were killed, while every record for the num- | ber of injured was broken. Almost 1000 more were in hospitals yesterday or swathed in bandages than on the day'following the hollday last year. That the death list will continue to grow for several days is indicated by a large ndmber of dispatches recording injuries belleved to be fatal. The dead- 1y toy pistol was responsible for a big percentage of the injuries and six of the dead. How many of the injured are infected with the germs of tetanus cannot be estimated. ———— Employs Government Engineer. LOS ANGELES, July 6.—Joseph B.

Thomas, Howard Presbyterian Church, They had previously written a commu- nication to the commission on the same subject and had followed it by a visit. They were not pleased with the refusal of the hoard, but it was explained to them that if the conces- sion were granted to them others would demand the same rights and it would not be good policy on. the part of the members to act contrary to the law in any case where absolute neges- sity does not require it.

The bill had a difficult road to travel before it passed safely through the vigilant committee. The ftems of the Health Department came in for the greater share of criticism. In fact, the only point upon which any comment as to the economy of the budget of the relief commission was raised was that section which provides for section chairman at a salary of $200 a month and camp commanders at $150 a month Dr. Devine, in answer, explained that the clvilian chairmen attend to the re- lief stations and distribute all supplies in the seven sections of the city. He added the camp commanders control the encampments. Sanitation, order, and general care of the people fall upon their shoulders. TOO MANY DOCTORS ON LIST.
