City Council Meeting.

_—_———

THe regular monthly meeting of the City Council was held last evening. Coun- cillor Byrne was not in his place. His

Honor the Recorder was also absent. After the minntes of the previous meeting were read and adopted, and the payment of a number of bills confirmed, the transaction of regular business was proceeded with.

TENDERS.

Councillor Eden submitted the tenders received for the removal of the old Engine House on King Street to the lot adjoining the City Hall. But two tenders had been re- ceived. One was from Michael Egan, of- fering to do the work for $330, and the other from Angus DesRoche, for $250. Both were held over until next meeting of Council.

Mayor Haviland submitted the three tenders received for the purchase of the $3500 City Debentures, advertised for sale. The first read wasfrom E.H. Norton, offer- ing 105 per cent. for the whole amount, the second from Henrietta F. May, offering 106? for $1000, and the third from J. C. Melntosh, of Halifax, offering 106} for the whole $3500. The tender of Mrs. May was accepted for $1000, and that of Mr. Mclatosh for the remaining $2500.

COMMUNICATIONS,

Charles Palmer, chairman of the Hills- borough Square Committee, intinated that they were ready to go to work at once, and asked for the necessary authority. Their intention was to put up a wire fence to protect thegrass, and, todecorate the mound in the centre of the square with small trees, &c. Laid on the table.

F. L. Haszard notified the Board on be- half of John Murphy, pump contractor, that, as his tender had been accepted, the City was liable tor the amount of his con- tract ($320), and that he was fully prepared to go on with the work.

The minutes of last meeting showed that Mr. Murphy's tender had not been accept- ed, but had been referred to the Finance Committee. The letter was laid on the table.

The petition of the policemen asked that each member of the force be provided with a helmet and one pair of pants for summer wear. Referred to Police Committee.

SUPERINTENDENT OF VACCINATION,

Mayor Haviland called the attention of the Board to the necessity of appointing a superintendent of vaccimation, as pro- vided for by statute. His Worship explain- ed that the law was very strict with refer- ence to vaccination, providing that no child or any other person could attend the public: schools unless that operation had been performed.

THE HEALTH OFFICER REPORTS.

Dr. Johnson, Health Officer, at the re- quest of the Mayor who had several in- terviews with him on the subject of the infectious diséases alleged to be now -pre- valent in the city, briefly addressed the Board. He explained that he had visited the family of Mr. Reid, on Richmond Street, and found that there had been three cases of scarletina there. The first case—that of the eldest girl—had been nursed by the muther and had recovered without any regular medical attendance. The second case was that of a boy between one and two years of age, who died, after passing through the first stages of the dis- ease. The third case was that of an in- fant, who died after a few hours illmess. The house was now being thorough- ly disinfected in order to remove all danger of infection. He also visited the house of Charles Davy, on the corner of Hills- borough and Kent streets. There he found that tive cases had occurred in the family. Two of the patients had died and three were now ill. The first case was thought to be one of suppressed scarletina by the medical man in attendance. The second case was supposed to be diphtheria. The victim had a severe sore throat with very little rash. The remaining cases were unquestionably scarletina with severe sore throat. He had also heard of three other cases of simple scarletina in the city. He thought the disease was sufliciently preva- lent yust now to cause the Board of Health to take immediate steps for its suppression. The Board should require every house- iiolder or the attending physician to report every case of diphtheria, scarlet fever,

typhoid fever, measles, and all this class of infectious diseases to the Health Officer, in order that

he might take steps to prevent their spread- ing. The Provincial Board of Health for New Brunswick had rules and regulations drawn up for the guidance of ‘the Health Oflicer, and he thought that the same thing should be done here at once.

In answer to a question of Councillor Horne’s, the Health Officer stated that there would be little or no difficulty in the Board’s tracing the origin of every new epidemic if they had the information they should have from the householder or phy- sician. In many instances, however, a medical man was not called in at all—as in the Reid case—because the disease was not considered serious. But one case of mild scarlet rash might be the means of causing several cases of malignant scarlet- ina or fever. He was strongly of opinion that rules compelling the householder or physician to report all such cases should be drawn up at once, and rigidly enforced.

In answer to Councillor Davison, the Health Officer further stated that he saw nothing like diphtheria in Dayy’s house, Two members of the family—a boy anda girl—were not allowed into the house. There was no danger of taking scarletina from passing an infected person on the street. The great danger was in going into infected houses. Under no circumstances should this be done.

It was decided to hold a meeting of the Board of Health on Wednesday evening, to take action in the matter.

QUEEN SQUARE AND THE BOLGER DRAIN.

Councillor Morris informed the Board

that at next meeting be would bring up the

matter of the regular donation to Queen Square, and aoa also try and do some- thina in the matter cf abolishing the cele- brated Bolger nuisance. He thought it was high time something were done.

After some further discussion, Council adjourned until Wednesday evening next.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

——___-__

The Cherry Valley Burial Trouble.

Sir, —Before |!) appearance of the Rev. Fred. E. J, Lloyu’s letter, people were say- ing that there was no minister on the Is- land who would pat the man on the back who dared to interrupt funeral soleimnities. This letter, however, has been a cruel dis- appointment. But surely there is no other minister who would sanction such heartless conduct. Now, let us see whether or not churchwarden John Young ‘* did perfeetly right ” in attempting to prevent the read- ing of the burial service on the 9th ult. The general custom of the Island with re- gard to funerals isthat the friends of the deeeased take their own ministers to their family plot, whether that minister is or is not the legal trustee of the burial-ground where the family plot is situated. A gre- sidence of some years on the Island has taught me that other ministers come freely into burial-grounds of which ** lam advised that ] am legal guardian and custodian.” Sometimes I am acquainted before hand of what is intended to be done; sometimes nothing is said to me about the matter. Of course, the strict letter of the law is against such a practice. But the above is the cus- tom of other ministers towards me, and of myself towards other ministers; and this has been the custom for some years at Cherry Valley. In accordance with this, during the last few years the Revs. George Harrison, B. D. McLeod, R. Opie (untii the 9th ult.), and myself have gone into that burial-ground without let or hindrance. And if an attempt is now to be made to en- force any new rules, the ministers contigu- ous to Cherry Valley ought to be informed of them, so,that they might see whether or not they ought to be obeyed.

Again, in reference to Cherry Valley burial-ground: It is a fact that it was used for many years as a Protestant burial- ground before the erection of the church, so that there is a distinction between this church and the yard. It is also a fact that when the Bishop consecrated the buriai- ground he said, among other things: ‘* This consecration is not intended to interfere with the rights of persons burying here as heretofore.” There are plenty of persons yet living who heard the Bishop utter a sentiment similar to what I have just attributed to him. If the interruption to the funeral service was intended as an insult to the Methodist Church, then, perhaps, there is no place where it would seem to be so undeserved as at Cherry Valley. Pownal Methodist Church, within four miles, was opened regularly on the Lord’s Day to the late Rev. Mr. Jenkins in which to baptize ad- herents of the Church of England and te conduct services according to its usages. Also, Cherry Valley people have been for Jong months together without any other ministrations than those rendered by the direct predecessors of the Rev. Mr. Opie, the clergyman insulted in his official capa- city on the 9th ult. On several occasions his predecessors have been requested to visit the sick and to perform other spiritual offices to the members. of the Church of England, (for there have been long months together when no rector of Cherry Valley and Georgetown was seen in their midst). Not only have they gladly accepted the services of Methodist clergymen, but a Methodist layman has had to officiate by reading the funeral service over the re- mains of one of their number. Then, surely, the fact that the late Mrs. Irving—whose remains were so rudely dis- honored—showed kindness and hospitality to the Rev, Mr. Stewart and other pre- decessors of the Rev. or. Lloyd, ought to have prevented Officious interruption at her burial. A society for the prevention of cruelty to animals has been formed in Charlottetown—no doubt an excellent in- stitution. But if we have a few more scenes similar to what occurred on the 9th ult., we shall need a society for the pur- pose of seeing that no oflicious person in- terferes with the decent burial of the dead. If Mr. Young had been * perfectly right ” in interrupting the funeral service, a word of sympathy to the bereaved for such un- usual proceedings might not have been out of place from the Rey. Mr. Lloyd. But the truth is, when Mr. Young interrupted the funeral service, he did what is contrary to Island usage, and to Jaw, (at least this will be believed until a decision to the eun- trary is given), and what outrages the feel- ings of all right-thinking Christian people.

Yours respectfully,

GEORGE Sree.
