lUu on June (I.
in
At last night's regular monthly meet
ing of the Sii.niton riieinen's Hellef
association. City Hollcltor McC.lnlcy
was present and lepoited that the
constitution ot the association had
been opeiallng since June 0 on which
date the chattel was gi anted by the
Mate. Since that date no accident or
sickness involving an npropiiatlon
from the fund has been repotted.
Mr. .McGlnley Infoimed the assoeln
tion for City Contiolloi Iloblnson that
tho lattei had counteihigneil the war
rant for the fund and ptc seated It to
the city rleik for dellvciy to the asso
ciation tieastller.
A H llnlmtvt, K. W. Wmnke and
Chailes Slmtell. a special committee,
lepotted a lesoiution ptovldltig for an
Initiation fee of $1 for meiiibeis of
the few companies who had declined
to become thin let membeis, as bodies,
of the association. The tesoliition was
stoutly opposed bj Mossts, Long, Cos
tello, Mnlr and Hetty
Mr. Long held that the lesoiution
was countei to the constitution, aside
fiom that feattlie he did not think
the association should show any con
sideration for the membeis of any
company that had iefui-ed to Join the
association in a body
The discussion raised the point that
ncthe Hitmen who weie non-niembers
of the association might secuie bene
tlts tioin the fund by law. Clt Soli
citor McGlnley. In respou.-e to a ques
tion, thought this possibly could be
temoved by an amendment t" the oi n
stltutioi' Tho mntter was lefeired to
him for an opinion, nnd. If it Is ns in
dicated in ills view last night, action
may be taken permitting Individual
monibei ships fiom the companlerf now
out of the fold.
Secretaiy Hmil Honn was dltecleTl to
notify the iccently appointed dlstitet
physicians that their services might
be lequlied at any time. It was de
cided to pay the physicians a lee ot
$1 for each visit and a tepoit to Chief
Hlckey. the pi evident of the associa
tion, a physician to make but one
visit in eae'i case excepting when
otherwise dlteeted and then for orly
the purpose of observation.
