The Board of Health was smartly
Ireprimanded by Mayor Carl Axel Har-
lstrom. who in expressing his regret
that the officials of the board did not
[heed his request for a report at the
‘meeting last night said:
3 “I‘d just as soon be quoted as say.
iing that they shirked their business.”
I The mayor recommended that a
ivote be taken by the board informing
the Board of Health members that the
:c-ountil had expected their report last
night, and that in the future they de-
tsire 10 have the monthly reports sub
,mitted on time. This was unanimous.
ily passed on motion of Councilman
litusaell. The health board has mat-
1ters to report on pertining to sewer
connuections in Fairfield Park. and

A vote was passed notifying the
commissioners of the three districts

for the transfer of the. apparatus and
the renting of the houses of these dis-
lrit‘ts by the city.
Resolutions were passed authorin-
mg the Mayor to borrow $10,000 on
responsibility of the fourth dis»
trict, and $211,000 on the responsibili-
ty of the fifth district. This money
is for the running expenses of the city
Another resolution authorized the
borrowing of $111,001), which will be
added to $7,000 to pay a promissory
note. This was passed upon the re-
quest of City Treasurer Wilfred 130d-
well.
.\ hearing is to be held concerning
the renaming of streets the names of
which are. the same. and the renum-
berlng of several streets. The mayor
included this matter in his message
of last night. and advised making
haste slowly in the work. The high-
\1a_\ commissioner invites suggestions
from residents of West street. which
is to be renamed. and residents of
Washington street, which is to be re-
numbered.

cred the mayor to employ an expert

“The action of the council and the.
action of the ‘Board of Estimate and

(3) That the gentlemen named be
invited to take up their work at once,
and submit a report to the regular
January meeting of the council—at
which time further action may be
taken—such as amending the report,
giving the committee authority to ex-
amine all books and accounts of var-
ious receiv rg and disbursme o‘ficers

after the system has been accepted

otherwise would have been spent in
such service shall wholly. or in part,

“1 am able to make this proposition
to you because of Mr. Kiesler‘s vol-

Mrs Hickey returned to Portland—to.
find that city not ready for such 11%
radical step as public school nursing.i
Uudaunted, she went to Seattle where:
in January 1908. she was made theI
first school nurse in the Pacific North-i
west. This was the beginning of her:
activities in children’s and mother’s,
uplift work. She toiled early and late"
against prejudice and ignorance, un-
til even the most skeptical was con,
vinced that public school nursing was1
not a mere fad. Today Seattle has
six school nurses and a splendid
school clinic, and all the other large
cities in the Northwest have some
sort of medical inspection of schools,
as a direct result of her pioneer ei-I
