BOARD OF HEALTH.
Mr. Stucker's bill [H. R. 261] to repeal Sections 4986 to 5,0l0 inclusive of the Revised Statutes of 1881, establishing a Stare Board of Health, was reported back from the Committee on Rights and Privileges with the recommendation that it be indefinitely postponed
Mr. WILSON, of Marion, thought the Board of Health an institution that ought not to be abolished. Every Nation in Europe that looks after the interests of its people sustain similar institutions. He was opposed to killing the matter without proper consideration.
Mr. HEFFREN objected to Boards of Health because of the expense it had been to the people. He considered the $5,000 appropriated, but a small part of the cost of the people of the State. He moved to lay the report of the Committee on the table.
The motion was rejected by yeas, 43; nays 49.
Mr. WILLIAM, of Knox, demanded the previous question, which was seconded by the House, and under its operations
The report of the Committee was concurred in.
Mr. HEFFREN made an ineffectual motion to reconsider the vote by which the report of the Committee was concurred in.
