Show THE ITHE COUNCILS COUNCIL S WORK THE city council has boo a most unhappy habit of falling into a wrangle over nearly every measure of importance that to taken up for consideration last evening the bone of contention was a bill for an ordinance relating to cesspools ces spools within the city limits and it to is a great pity that a measure looking so directly to general sanitation should have been even deferred by reason of the disposition referred to some dome of the members bemben wanted immediate action others thought there should be reasonable delay and the upshot of the matter was it went book back to the committee one would think that in dealing with matters of so much consequence the committee having any special subject in hand would thoroughly consider it in the light of its intrinsic merits a and nd 1 surroundings and perfect it as an to f form 0 rm and phraseology before bringing 1291 it jn in for the councils action but in all cases they do not in fact the reverse would seem to be the rule rue and a measure paces backward and forth between the council chamber and the committee room until much of the usefulness it might have accomplished is lost what on the face of it would seem to be a much needed and altogether together wi wise lse measure was taken up lost night read and passed it is somewhat in lire lile with the one previously spoken of and will be fo full in our news columns as an ordinance prohibiting the sale of unwholesome food and drink and regulating the sale of milk this is most important so as indeed are all enactments having in view the health and well being of the community A season of sickness seems seem to be upon the earth and while devising schemes to meet and subdue it it is just as well to give it no opportunity for destruction by forestalling it in having everything that is eaten pure and sill all our surround surroundings I 1 as cleana clean a circumstances will admit of lot let the council forego its disposition to wrangle yago now and then more particularly when dealing with matters of the kind herein indicated |
