One or the aldermen appeared to be in a cri_- tical frame of mind and of course something` had to come. When the minutes of the previous meeting were read exception was taken to a clause which reported having` had notice of the admittance of two in- digent patients to the hospital. Ald. Wallwin wanted the clause omitted because it did not give the residence of the patients and the name of the doctor sending them to the hospital. The Clerk came in for a share of the criticism for not notifying the hospital of a motion passed at a previous meeting that the council get this information from the hospi- tal when indigent patients are ad- mitted. The alderman was nally convineed that this had nothing` to do with the acceptance of the min- utes, which were rip;l1tly reported.
