SUADES ALDERMEN TO ERECT STABLES IN OUTSKIRTS COMMITTEE TO SUGGEST ? LOT Which Meets With the Approval Of the Board of Health and Report Back to Council. Timt city council will not proceed with the erection of a municipal barn on the East Market street site in the rear, of the city hail, ta practically a certainty, since, following a joint meet lug yesterday afternoon with the board of health, who protested vig orously to the erection of the stables on that sile or In any thickly popu lated sec?lou of the city, a committee was appointed to suggest a* suitable site-conferring with the board of health and getting thair approval of the lot which it Ia proposed to select -and report back to council at a meeting in the near ft miro. Some days ,ago when . council an- . thorized a special committee to call for bids and award a contract for the erection ot a city bm council had in mind the erection of the stable building on the city's lot on Bast Market street In the rear of the city hail. The beginning of work upon the proposed barn was interrupted by one of the contractors who submit' ted a coinpetetive bid and failed to secure the Job submitting to council charges of fraud in the letting of: the contract. In the meantime the bosh) of health held a meeting'and framed resolutions for presentation to city council protesting ?g?.?r.st erection of tho barn. At a Joint session of the two bodies held yesterday afternoon at fi o'olock in council chamber the questing of the advisability ot erect ing the barn not only on the. city's lot tn tho rear ot the etty hal) hut anywhere In the city limits was threshed out, with the resulta already mentioned. Dr. W. P. Ashmore, chairman of thc board ot health, announced after the convening of the Joint session, that Dr. w. H. Hardin, secretary of the board, would present the .statement of the beard of health. Dr. Nardin characterised the eity'.i present sta bles as being indecent and unfit to be in any community that pretends to be civilized. He pointed out that there was no means of- disposing ot the offal from the horse and mute stables and that th? sanitary carts of the city andreana which frere placed about houses where there were ty phoid patients fer the reception ot excreta from. the sick room were al-. lowed to stand in the stable yard? exposed to flies and tho elements. There have been in the past several caaes of typhoid fever In the vicinity of tho etty hall, he stated, and there is little doubt but that the cases were traceable to conditions in these city stables. If council persists in building tho barn on the city tot. Dr: Nardin stated, the board of health will re quire it to be made so thoroughly cleanslble that the ' cost of erecting and maintaining ? such a structure would be prohibitive. He urged the council to have the barn built out side- the city limits .Stuuld council on the other hand, build a stable for horses and mules on the lot in the rear of the city ball, be stated, the board of health would-not permit the sanitary carts to be placed there, and this would force council to go to the expense" of building a second barn somewhere outside the cttv tor the storage of these carts. From the standpoint of economy, be stated, he would urge council to build but one barn and build it outside the etty. Dr. .2. A, Hines, superintendent of the Anderson county hospital and a member of the State board ot health endorsed the remarks made by Dr. Nardin, and told of observations he had mads while in Ixmdott last sum* mer. He found, ho stated,.that lu ot the most thickly populated tiona cf Lor don there had be*a great redaction in the number of cu of severe sickness, and especially pno?d, and upon investigation found! that thl? condition l ei doubtedly been brought about banishing of horse atables ttc?? quarter of %h9 big city. Dr. B. A. Henry, also a Stember of the board of healtl:, who resides at *tb* vorner of Kass MaAet and South* McDufflo streets, not far from the city's present barn ans\-ty>t, gave some personal observations relative to the barn, tolling of thejftnplesasttt odors coming from the Sables and permeating the atmosph?re in that section, the dust and tte fU>e that came ?from the ?tabletead th? lot.
