BOARD OF HEALTH
TO DECIDE CASES
Discharge of Poorhouse Em
ployes Submitted by Mayor
for Decision.
The controversy over the dismissal of
three emplo;. es at the poorhouse will be
submitted f the Board of Health next
Thursday. In deference to the wishes of
Mayor Wells, who. ia a letter to Superin
tendent Hart of the Poorhouse. has In
terpreted the ordinances to mean that the
superintendent of an Institution only has
power to remove, and then only for a vio
lation of rules or for gross neglect of
duty Th Maor has asked that the
board decide.
Health Commissioner Simon has con
tended that he has power to remove an
employe at any time without explanation.
If he so desires a power which, he claims.
Is also supported by ordinance.
Whether Doctors R. E. Keaney and J.
B Chiles and Chief Clerk J. S. Dierkes.
all of whom were dismissed after refusing
to re"!gn. will receive redress through the
Major, will depend upon the interpreta
tion of the orltnances next Thursday. Su
perintendent Hart discharged the men. but
in his letter of dism!sal he stated that
he did so by order of Health Commission
er Simon
Doctor Simon asked for the resignations
of the discharged men to preserve har
mony in the institution, as. he claims, dif
ferences dev eloped between the superin
tendent and the dismissed subordinate
which boded no good for the Institution.
